The sauce was a little too simple, missing those traditional flavors like garlic and basil. Ravioli was delicious, sausage was slightly coarse ground and sweetly flavorful, the meatball was packed with seasoning and should be ordered every time. The "Family Style" menu item shows that cavatills plus spaghetti is too much of a good thing. Cavatills being a dumpling pasta while spaghetti is, well pasta too with the same red sauce didn't give it much separation or contrast to the meal. They also have a pepper jack cheese sauce which if I were them would've offered it on one of the other pastas (I.E spaghetti with red sauce and cavatills with white cheese sauce). Bread sticks were soft and warm and slightly too salty. Atmosphere was spacious enough and the tables were full of families. Photos on the wall also showcase the family business is all about family. So, was it OK? Absolutely. Would I drive 100 miles round trip again? I wouldn't. But if you're closer and want real value for your family night out with children who may like an easy menu to choose from then I would be happy to tell you to go there and support the...
Read moreIf you get warm fuzzy feelings from family owned diners with warm lighting and ads on their red plastic cups then this place is going to trigger a lot of memories for you.
Bona Casa is known mostly for their raisin ravioli and thankfully you can order extra frozen ravioli to go because this stuff is easy to cook and just odd enough to make you wanna try it--and you'll probably love it.
A word of caution, I HIGHLY recommend asking for LIGHT SAUCE because you will get a lot otherwise. Personally, I like their ravioli with sauce I make at home but the atmosphere of the place is peak 90s family dining so dine in at least one time.
Cost wise you will get a decent amount of food for your money and things should run about 16.00 per person if you're getting a soda and large ravioli dinner which includes soup, salad, or cottage cheese as well as a meat side of sausage or meatballs. It is a sizable amount to be sure.
They have online ordering available for to-go options and are wheelchair accessible. In terms of stimulation and sensory levels, this is a relatively low sensory place with the loudest area being by the...
Read moreBeen coming here since I was a kid. Have tried several times since opening under the newest owners, both dine in and take out. The sauce is a bit less bright in color and it's been more watered down with less of a flavorful taste. Also, one of the times my ravioli seemed to be falling apart. * 2024: Have tried it again, but still inconsistent in sauce flavor and ravioli/noodles are either overcooked or under cooked, seemed to be no in between. Will keep giving it more time/chances as I've loved this place my whole life.
April 2024- Just ate there again, food was alright. My biggest complaint was my sauce was hot but my ravioli was luke-warm at best underneath. They did seem cooked, just not hot. =/
April 2025- Dined in and took a hot take out home. My take home meal was WAY hotter than my meal I had in house. The ravioli seemed to be cooked alright, a couple were a bit watery cutting into them. No extra sauce given separately but my plate had more sauce then usual. I really don't care for the new plates, seem to be cast iron with a weird texture and my sauce kinda tasted weird at first....
