We visited today for a catching up lunch after several months and it was a great atmosphere in the bar area. We ordered a fillet steak and a ribeye and both were cooked to perfection medium rare. The sides (new potatoes, chips, creamed spinach and sprouts) were a great addition to each steak. My friend enjoyed a house larger and I enjoyed two glasses of rosé. I finished the lunch with the passionfruit pavlova which was light and refreshing. All the staff were very attentive during out time dining.

Food was really good everyone in our party enjoyed what they had chosen. Surroundings are beautiful, have visited the Ivy before in York but the building in Liverpool that used to be a bank is absolutely beautiful.

I'm a huge fan of Casa and have been coming for over 20 years. I love to bring different groups of people with me, work colleagues, friends, etc and have had many of them fall in love after one visit too. Our visit this time was great once again. The staff couldn't be more attentive and helpful. My food and the food & drinks of most of us was great one again. The people who ordered penne dishes, like arrabiata and the casa italia signature dish didn't look as appetising and they left quite a lot of it but the al forno I had and the tomato garlic bread were as gorgeous as usual. Thanks. We will be back and will be sure to always order something covered in cheese!

This was our first time visiting Churrasco and to say we were impressed would be an understatement. From the moment we walked in the door we were welcomed with a smile and made to feel welcome. The food was exceptional as were the service and atmosphere. Would 100% recommend and we will definitely be coming back.
