Casa Calzone specializes in the preparation of traditional Italian dough-based dishes, focusing primarily on the mastery of the folded pizza technique. Each calzone features a crisp, oven-baked exterior that protects a molten core of premium mozzarella, tangy tomato sauce, and a variety of carefully selected cured meats and fresh vegetables. The menu emphasizes structural integrity and heat retention, ensuring that every serving maintains the optimal texture from the initial cut to the final bite. High-temperature ovens facilitate the rapid blistering of the crust, which creates a distinctively airy crumb profile. Guests select from an array of classic flavor profiles that honor regional culinary standards while maintaining a consistent and reliable preparation style. This establishment provides a focused environment for those seeking authentic, handheld comfort food prepared with rigorous attention to dough fermentation and ingredient balance.

After a long day at the Falls, we were looking for somewhere good to eat nearby. Casa Calzone came up as a top rated restaurant nearby & all the positive reviews swayed me to stopping here! Their terrace looked like the perfect place to end a long day, especially with the nice weather. As soon as we walked in around 5:20pm, the staff greeted us, then asked if we had a reservation. We did not, but the restaurant was practically empty & they had, without exaggeration, at least a dozen tables free. The staff member then recommended that, in the future, we should be sure to make a reservation because the dining room tends to fill up quickly. But, as I said, the restaurant was practically empty. There was one party of 8 or so that was seated on the terrace & then another small group inside the restaurant, & that's it. Tons of empty tables. By some miracle, my party of two was able to be seated. We opted to sit on the terrace & were quickly given menus & water. Prior to arriving at the restaurant, we had thoroughly reviewed their menu so we already knew exactly what we wanted to eat, but then I was nearly swayed by their Carbonara, which sounded delicious! I told the waiter that I was in between two choices & he gave me his thoughts on both options, that the Carbonara was more creamy & the Hipster had a great balance of sweet & salty. Upon his words, I opted for their Hipster Calzone & my partner got the Taco Calzone, so we could both try dishes that they were named after--a Calzone. As we were waiting, they also brought out an amuse-bouche of bruschetta, which was a nice surprise. From that, it took less than 15 minutes to receive our Calzones, which looked absolutely gorgeous. The Hipster had a pile of caramelized onions on top of it & a perfectly browned crust. The Taco Calzone had a dollop of sour cream & a dollop of salsa, & then the waiter came over with a syringe of hot sauce, recommending that the Taco is best served with hot sauce injected inside. What an experience! My partner said the Taco Calzone was very good, packed with flavours. When I tried a bite, I found it heavy, but delicious. The Hipster Calzone was good, but the cheese flavours overpowered everything, in my opinion. I will say, the dough was the best part for me, crispy & soft, though I don't think there was any bacon in my Calzone. With my meal, I also had a glass of wine, the Artisan, which I do not recommend, unless you like dry whites. Overall, my experience at this restaurant was good. The staff were very attentive, providing a fan to cool down the terrace, & routinely checking in on all their clientele. The food also came out swiftly & deliciously. I am excited to go back here & try some of their other foods--with a reservation this time!
Stopped through town during our trip & found this absolute gem! Truly the best meal experience of this whole trip. Fantastic experience across the board. Immediately upon entering, you are greeted with a fresh, joyous atmosphere filled with eclectic wall art/lighting. Got seated in the covered semi outdoor area & was very comfortable. The super kind staff brought a blanket anyways just in case, which was a thoughtful touch. Drinks were perfect, calozone was incredible.... the best I have had- EVER! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Ps the prices were very reasonable for the amount & quality of food. Seriously, don't miss out on this one.
Wow une vrai bonne découverte. Je le recommande vivement, le service impeccable la bouffe excellente préparer vous à ne plus avoir faim. J'ai bien mangé, j'ai bien vu, j'ai la peau du ventre bien tendu. 😃
Ça vaut le détour! Excellents Calzones, goûteux & généreux, ambiance décontractée & accueillante avec un service super sympathique. Je recommande sans hésiter.
Franchement, c'est le meilleur endroit pour se réunir & créer des souvenirs. Personnellement mon expérience ce soir a été parfaite comme d'habitude sauf que j'ai décidé de m'aventurer vers l'inconnu. Sérieusement je vous recommande le PURA VIDA car c'est un délice. Surtout pour les amateurs de catégorie champignons & fromage de chèvre. Je vous invite fortement à aller découvrir le CAZA CALZONE !!!
C'était notre première expérience & je peux dire sans hésiter, que ça a été une belle découverte. Tout le monde a été très sympathique & ce que nous avons mangé au-delà de nos attentes. Je recommande, à essayer sans faute...
