Welcome to Casa Mare, a family-run bring-your-own-wine restaurant that has spanned three generations since 1974.
Founded in 1974 by Marco Fanone, his son Oreste Fanone took over until 2024. Since November 2024, the founder's granddaughter, Sandra, and her husband, Maxim, have taken over the reins of the family business.
A varied menu, a warm decor that will transport you to Italy for an evening and the possibility of bringing your own wine, these are the reasons for our success.
Whether you are looking for a place for a romantic dinner, an evening with friends or family, bring your favorite bottle of wine and come and enjoy your favorite Italian meals.
Casa Mare is described as a cozy Italian favorite with delicious pizza and pasta, generous portions and authentic flavors, from crispy crusts to well-balanced sauces and a range of dishes including bruschetta, pasta, chicken dijonnaise, seafood and salads. The atmosphere is warm with an old school vibe, and service is consistently friendly and attentive, making it a reliable pick for dine-in, takeout or catering. A few notes mention the dining room can get loud on busy nights and that a dish could arrive a touch warmer, but the overall experience is praised for great value, steady quality and reasons to return.
Delicious food, lovely ambiance, excellent service.
First time there, very impressed!!
We were a small group so we got to try several dishes; Bruschetta, pasta trio plate, chicken dijonnaise, daily special (fish in red sauce), shrimp. ALL amazing!!
Désert was excellent too, cannoli, chocolate lava cake & tiramisu.
Yummy 😋Absolutely delicious! Casa Mare serves some of the best pizza & pasta I've had in a long time. The flavors are authentic, fresh, & perfectly balanced - you can really taste the quality ingredients. The pizza crust was crisp & airy, & the pasta was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming, & the service was friendly & attentive. A true gem - highly recommend for anyone craving great Italian food!

Great food, although speaking for myself only, as I am on a Keto diet, there is very little to choose from in this type of establishment, so I chose the Chicken Parm with a side of veggies & a Salad. Very satisfying meal. Don't miss the pasta at all, nor the pizza. But they sure do sell a lot of pizza for pickup. Obviously a very good pizza. Also being a BYOW is advantageous price wise.
We went back tonight (June 20, 2025) & I had the the Table d'hote, which consisted of a house salad, which was delicious, chicken dijonnaise, with linguine aioli. Which was to die for, & coffee. With tax it was $33.34.+ tip. Which was very reasonable. After all of that I didn't need dessert.
we were a big group of a about 20. Service was great. Food was just what I expected from a traditional Italian place. The Caesar salad was perfect & the chicken parmigiana made me feel warm & satisfied! Everyone seemed very happy with their choices, wether it was pasta, pizza, or even the fish.
Very nice old style Italian restaurant. Bring your own wine, but unfortunately I forgot to bring a bottle. Food is delicious. We ordered three amazing pasta dishes. Service is excellent. There was also soft background music which created a pleasant atmosphere & enhanced the overall ambiance of the restaurant.
Placed an order on uber eats which gave me a pick up time of 7:18 pm its now 7:35 pm im still here & they just told me it will be another 15 minutes !!! My order was a small pizza & 1 plate of Pasta !! I could of made it at home in half that time !! Not Happy
Tonight in the middle of a pandemic, we ordered from Casa Mare for our son's birthday. The person on the phone was friendly & helpful. We picked up our order but they also deliver. The icing on the cake was that the food was delicious. Started with the fondue parmesan & then our main meals were excellent - the pizzas, the trio pasta, mac & cheese. & we had extra for the next day. Thank you for your service. Miss going to your restaurant but will order again. Merci.
What a treat. Finally I found a resto that is close to home, fantastic food, not pretentious & BYOB. Went this week for the first time, & was very surprised. Super quaint resto with a family & friendly atmosphere. I am always disappointed when you go out for Italian fare & receive bread with butter.....not here. Lovely Italian crusty rolls with oil & vinegar. Had the Arrabiata & my friend had the pasta & meat balls......all home made & very tasty. Even more surprising, when the chef found out it was our first time he actually came out to see if we enjoyed the meal. Unheard of in so many places. Overall, had a wonderful experience & will be back again.

A hidden gem in the West Island. Authentic Italian home cooking: pasta is tasty & fresh, caesar salad great, veal parmesan is some of the best we've had.
Service is excellent; responsive & professional. Atmosphere is quiet, cozy & friendly. Frank & his staff are welcoming & care about their customers' satisfaction. Great place for dinner for two, with friends, or or for a private event.
