In fact, the name “Casadonna” is derived from the setting—it is a fusion of Italian words translating to “house of the woman.”Riviera-style Italian cooking serves as the heart of Casadonna’s cuisine. The menu features the freshest and finest local and imported products, with signature handcrafted dishes. Plates are based around traditional recipes found in the coastal towns of Naples, Taormina, Bari, Positano and Gaeta, and each is presented in a contemporary fashion.

Started out @ the bar— had an enjoyable conversation with Nicholas who is not only an expert bartender he is also a genuine gentleman! We sat outside to enjoy our belated anniversary celebration. Marisa (I hope I captured her correct name) was an outstanding server who was not only kind but extremely knowledgeable regarding the menu— and as a vegetarian I was extremely impressed. Both of our dinners were prepared and presented in an extremely pleasing manner. We both thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! I must commend the restaurant for having an extremely cordial and competent staff— everyone we came in contact was very friendly and kind. Thank you for making our celebration memorable and special. We look forward to returning to the hotel in the near future!
