I came here with my boyfriend for dinner on a Saturday night around 6pm and found the place was pretty much empty. We walked in and the folks inside seemed to be getting ready and setting up the bar area, however we were seated for dinner quickly and our order taken. We shared a pitcher of sangria and ordered entrees, and the food was delicious! However, we were the only people in the restaurant the entire time and we left around 8pm. I will add that everything was nice about the experience however!

Since Google rate between 1 and 5 I had no option of putting 1 but I would rate -1. I would not recommend this place to nobody. they discriminate you by the way you dress and you look. in the entrance they did not make any remarks and after two hour they kick us out. A business shouldnt judge you by your looks or the way you are. this was our first time and it will be our last time in this place. horrible and a waste of money. Do not go, because they judge a book by its covers...

They have live late music at dinner time on the weekends and salsa/bachata starts around 10pm with lessons. They also have another room with hip-hop and r&b music. So if you feel like a change you can swap between rooms! They also have a separate bar area if you ran there just lay low and hold good conversation.

Great Dj, good music but they actually water down the alcohol and use tiny cups.. I had 7 drinks and 2 shots and barely had a buzz.. Never again!!

Cheap drink specials, food is hit or miss, empanadas are good, flan is on thicker side but decent, sangria is average. bartenders are friendly but not particularly skilled. good entertainment, bands, djs, dance lessons. budget partying is its specialty, food and restaurant fare after thought.

No parking!!Waitied 20m just to be greeted another 20m to be seated. Food is not spectacular the wings seemed like premade frozen wings and deep fried french fries lack seasoning. Chicken mofongo was tasted awful and idk what part of the meat the chicken came from it was rubbery and lacked flavor I asked to switch it out the waiteess told me she could not do that. Empandas lacked flavor the only food i enjoyed were the pinones and nachos. I would not recommend going for food. Eat before hand the music was good if you enjoy classics.

I enjoy the food and the music. The rear section is large enough for small parties and the dance floor is a good size. The bathroom is small and the line can be long so be weary of that. The drinks are good but a tad pricey. The music is typically loud so if you are looking for a place to talk or are on a first date select another location but keep Casona on the list.

Review №36

My review is based solely on the restaurant. The food looks good but thats about it. I have tried several plates, from appetizers to entrees; all were displeasing. Food is just horrible tasting, Ive had better at other local Latin restaurants. Their empanadas is the only thing Ive had thats edible, but again, I have had better. They do have great happy hour specials on Thursdays, I would only go for the drinks, which are OK.

We came to La Casona for Valentine’s Day. After dinner, we were not allowed to dance, despite others dancing. It was very upsetting and wish we hadn’t tried to spend our special evening there.

Fun place to go dancing Thursday nights without the creepy guys usually found in Hartford. $10 CASH at the door gets you a solo cup drink and $2 refills.One sketchy part; they required me to leave my EpiPen in the car or I wasnt allowed inside ...

Review №63

I don’t know what tasted better, my middle school rice from the cafeteria or theres. The food was tasteless, there was absolutely no seasoning and everything needed salt. The service was awful, the waitress had an attitude, waited almost 30 minutes for the bill. Definitely not what I was expecting.

The perfect Italian restaurant in my eyes. The food is outstanding, the atmosphere is cozy, fun and loud! Hearing everyone talk and laugh and having a great time makes me happy! We started with the garlic cheese bread...yum! We also had the spicy calamari. I never liked calamari until now. My husband had the Ragu Bolognese, so delicious.

This review is strictly based on their nightclub life. Awesome place to go spanish dancing. Theyve got the hip-hop side, the bar area and then the big spanish dancing area (merengue, bachata, and salsa). I have not eaten their food so I cant comment on that.
