Valet parking $6. The restaurant has lively and inviting atmosphere, especially the nice outdoor garden area.
The staff is attentive and friendly and they offer unique and well-made cocktails. The chicken and salmon dishes were delicious and so were the appetizers were tried them all.

I had a wonderful experience at Casalena this Valentine's Day with a few couples. The atmosphere was romantic and intimate, perfect for the occasion. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the evening. The food was exceptional — every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. From appetizers to desserts, each bite was a delight. It was the perfect setting for a memorable evening with great friends. Highly recommend for a special night out!

I had high hopes for this restaurant, and at first, everything seemed perfect—the food was great, and the service was excellent. However, the experience took a disappointing turn when it came time for my birthday celebration.

I noticed that for other guests, the staff enthusiastically brought out cakes and sang the birthday song. But when it was my turn, they simply placed an old, dry cake in front of me with no effort to acknowledge the occasion. It felt like they deliberately chose not to celebrate my birthday, making me feel unwelcome and disregarded.

I can’t shake the feeling that this was more than just an oversight—it felt personal. It completely ruined what should have been a special moment. No one deserves to be treated this way, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to experience the same.

I will never return to this place, and I encourage others to think twice before supporting a business that fails to treat all its guests with equal care and respect.

My friends and I came here last night to celebrate one of their birthdays. I made reservations ahead of time on OpenTable. I been to this location before when it was the Villa but now it's a whole new restrauant and I heard good things about it. You can do their valet parking or looking for street parking on Ventura or around the area. We parked on Costanso street for our dinner reservation so just be aware that the street is very dark and the sidewalks has a lot of bumps. It's not that safe for ladies walking alone or just in general. When we arrived to the restrauant, we got seated immediately in their garden area. There heaters on the top and also some tarp to provide shade or cover.

It is kind of tight inside so be aware that the other table is right next to you. We started off with the spicy soppressata pizza and it was delicious. For our entree, we did the dinner special which was the 10oz filet mignon and be aware that you can't change the side. So we had to get a side of truffle fries and regular fries. The birthday boy got the 16oz prime rib eye and got whipped potatoes for his side.

Our food didn't take that much time to come out. The presentation was spot on and our food looked delicious. My friend really liked his prime rib eye. I got my filet mignon medium rare and asked for the sauce to be on the side which cause my steak to be a little dry in certain area. It was still good though and I thought the mashed potatoes that came with it was okay. I like my regular fries better and my friends enjoyed the truffle fries along with their steak. They do not give complimentary birthday dessert here or they didn't give us one. If you get their seafood options, you get less portions so just look at the pictures beforehand.

Overall this is a nice place especially if you sit in the garden area because it's set up to look romantic. The service we received was great and all of the staff were wonderful. The bathroom here for men is also just a single room that is shared for men, family, all gender and handicap.

Casalena is a great spot. The atmosphere is great, relaxed yet classy, and the service is always on point. The staff is friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

The food is excellent, with well-prepared dishes that hit the mark in both flavor and presentation. It's clear they put thought into their menu.

Overall, a great experience and a place I’d definitely recommend.

It was amazing and so delicious! The most interesting part was that they placed a can under the pizza, which made me laugh so much🤣. Honestly, it was such a unique way of advertising. The atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was excellent. Everyone was so polite and friendly. Definitely give it a try!😀

We visited for a friends birthday and had a lovely time. The atmosphere was fantastic on the inside and outside on the patio (which had heaters turned on for the cold.)

There were so many items that could be veganized so it was hard to choose what to order. In the end, I decided on beet hummus for a starter and pesto rigatoni for my main.

There is valet for parking or residential street parking nearby. I highly recommend coming for a special occasion dinner.
