Casanova — Restaurant in Municipality of Vari - Voula - Vouliagmeni

Still on the quest for perfect coffee. Did you know that the only way to judge a good coffee is by drinking an espresso and there is more, it needs to be delivered to the customer to drink within 60 seconds. Maybe this is why the Italians stand and drink their tiny amounts of coffee at the bar...

It is easy to spot a good espresso, it should definately not be acidic. Acidity can be down to the coffee beans themselves but can also say a lot for the equipment used, the coffee machine deserves respect and you must give it the attention it deserves in order to make the perfect espresso. Also the coffee cream, as I call it should be thick on top.

I in general tend to drink black americanos as I have had so many acidic espressos that I do not in general take the chance..

So here I was the other night, splashing out on pasta and wine, a mini celebration.. and I asked for an espresso.

I have started hanging out here in the afternoons as the staff are amazingly welcoming and they have a great sense of humour so we have a laugh.

Back to that espresso, so it impressed me so much that I came back the next day to check if I was not mistaken but no here it was totally perfect with a great after taste.

So now when I come in the afternoons I do not bother with an americano but go straight for the espresso. This for me is the perfect place to spend an hour or two in the afternoons but they are open late, both the restaurant and take away. I have tried the pasta and a pizza and both were really good.

Special mention to the beautiful lady manager Eleni and to Agis my favorite waiter. Thank you both for welcoming me...

And when it get's really hot this is the perfect place to relax in the stunning garden...

In the evenings this place turns into an enchanted garden. Really love what they do with the lights. And pizza I tried, hot from a real wood burning oven, went down a treat. If your looking for a romantic destination and want to impress, this is definately the place...

If Barack Obama ever found himself in Vouliagmeni, Greece, craving a taste of Italy, he’d undoubtedly be drawn to Casanova Italian Restaurant. Nestled at the corner of Athinas and Areos streets, this charming eatery offers an authentic Italian experience in the heart of the Athenian Riviera. 

Imagine Obama stepping into Casanova’s inviting ambiance, where rustic elegance meets Mediterranean warmth. The décor, with its warm colors and subtle touches, transports diners straight to Italy. He’d likely start with a classic bruschetta, savoring the freshness of the tomatoes and basil atop perfectly toasted bread. For the main course, perhaps a wood-fired pizza or a plate of homemade pasta, each dish crafted with the freshest ingredients. And let’s not forget dessert—a traditional tiramisu that would have him reminiscing about his travels through Rome. 

The staff at Casanova are known for their attentive and friendly service, making every guest feel like part of the family. Whether dining al fresco in the enchanting garden or inside the cozy dining room, the atmosphere is both relaxed and refined. It’s the kind of place where Obama could unwind, enjoy a hearty meal, and perhaps even discuss the finer points of international diplomacy over a glass of Chianti.

In summary, Casanova Italian Restaurant in Vouliagmeni offers a slice of Italy with a Greek seaside backdrop—a combination that even a former president would find...

My first experience with Casanova is a heart warming one! I got off the bus to meet my husband whom works next door to the restaurant. It started raining and I hesitated to seek shelter at the restaurant since I didn’t plan to have a meal there. A welcoming waiter sat me down and said I could wait at a table and even served me cold water, even though he knew I won’t stay long! So the next time I came, I felt so welcome I stayed for a refreshment. Last night we say down for a quick meal before an event we had to attend and the food was much better than the venue we went to! So grateful for a fresh Ceasar salad and hot hot ‘medium’ pizza, way too much for two people and, could you imagine, the large...
