A lovely warm welcome as we entered Casanova’s to try their lunch menu, on Saturday. Casanova is a new Restaurant, Wine and Cocktail Bar, that is situated in Crookes. Chilled location, that is well decorated and has plenty of seating.

2 COURSE SET MENU (£14.85)

STARTERS Bruschetta classica - 3 of Altamura bread with pachino tomatoes, garlic, seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, fresh rocket and sweet basil. Polpette al sugo - Grandma's classic recipe of meatballs with rich tomato sauce! That toddler really loved!

MAINS Pizza capricciosa, was topped with mozzarella cheese, Italian baked ham, mushrooms, artichoke and tomato! A thin crust pizza with a generous amount of toppings! I loveeee a Spaghetti Carbonara, it was really good. Creamy and a good balance of spaghetti to pancetta ratio (my recommendation).

If you want to see the menu, I have included a photo, keep scrolling. Available Tuesday to Saturday 12:00 till 15:00.

𝘞𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯? Yes, brilliant offer, for the quality and only £14.85 for a 2 course! Cannot grumble! The a-la-carte menu and cocktails sound fantabidosy too!

Dinner at Casanova was fantastic. Had a family birthday celebration here and the quality and selection of food was incredible. The staff were welcoming and very attentive.

The garlic bread and arancini were especially nice starters accompanied with some of the best cocktails I have experienced - the mojito was excellent. The portion size of the starters was brilliant and they were full of flavour - we couldnt resist sharing them!

We all had different pasta and risotto mains, and enjoyed them all, including the presentation. I had the lasagna, and the layering and sauce was amazing. So good infact, I forgot to take pictures!

We tried the cheesecake and tiramisu for dessert and they were a great take on old classics. Both were delicious and by this time we had tried a selection of both white and red wine which complimented the entire experience. Certainly deserving of 5 stars, and I'm sure I will...

Maybe when everything about the place was changed a while ago they should have changed the name as it bears no relation to the old Casanova which had become a bit tacky. We eat out regularly and having tried many this is our go to Italian. The quality and flavour of everything from the olives to the coffee is outstanding. Last night I had to look up what I was considering ordering and I wouldn't even know where to buy guanciale in Sheffield but I know it was beautiful with mushrooms in a risotto. There's a good range of beers and wines which all seem reasonably priced. Can't comment on the cocktails but they definitely look interesting. The only reason I've dropped a star on atmousphere is it's not busy enough so lacked a bit of hubub but this is the best place I know of to get excellent Italian food that matches what you get in...
