We had a great luau themed swim team banquet at the Hawthorne for 100 guests. Lory was great to work with planning a menu within our budget. The food was excellent, we were able to decorate and bring in our own desserts, the bartender was on point, and the waitstaff was incredible. They were also able to accommodate several food allergies with no issues.

Been for events but let me tell you that this is one of the best kept secret restaurants in Connecticut for fantastic every day meals. I wasn't expecting the awesome everything when I got there on Prime rib Thursday happy hour. WOW! Music was live and so refreshing. Awesome food, awesome atmosphere over the top wait

Casa Mia Restaurant on the Berlin Turnpike has been a "legend" for Prime Rib for "50 years!" People know they can rent rooms for dinners & reunions for big family celebrations, high school reunions, weddings, and business awards events & the catering dinners and appetizers and bar drinks will always be "excellent." But it is easy to forget that the #1) Italian White Tablecloth dining room restaurant and #2) the lounge/bar restaurant with live dance music Fri-Sat nights are great "date night" or "friends night out" dinner experiences too. The "Thursday Night Happy Hour" dinner specials change but, $20 "The Prime Rib" night with roasted potatoes, rice pilaf & wonderful dessert cakes for a small extra charge & the perfect "treat yourself & friend" night to catch up together in a dress casual environment. The Casa Mia group owns 3 places (Berlin, Newington & Rocky Hill) and all are consistent in making a good burger, great steak, tasty pasta dishes, & seafood (shrimp, fish, scallops) options & great appetizers from fried calimari mozzarella cheese, wings & specials like stuffed mushrooms. It is easy to forget the "classic restaurants" because they have been so good for so long; they are not in the "foodie news." But if I have 4 friends or family in town, who want a let's catch up during the holidays; Casa Mia at The Hawthorn is in my "Top List" because everyone will find something they like on the menu. Easy 1st floor access for older parents with mobility issues or walker. Clean bathrooms. Lots of free parking for over 100 cars.

Shared a Thanksgiving feast today with lots of friends and excellent food. They didn't miss a beat. Room decor, lovely. Waitstaff , over the top. Price was very affordable,.They could have charged more and I'd still go! Very nice. I heard they serve lunch? A go -to again!

We had the pleasure of dining at Casa Mia at the Hawthorne for an agape dinner following a Rite celebration with our parish community of St. Joachim, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff—Valerie, Pascualino, and Laurie—made us feel incredibly welcome. They were warm, friendly, energetic, and impressively attentive to every detail throughout the evening. Their hospitality added so much to the overall experience, and we’re deeply grateful. The food was served family style, and every dish was a hit. The charcuterie appetizer was delicious and beautifully presented. The pasta dishes were absolutely marvelous—rich in flavor and perfectly cooked. Both the steak and chicken were cooked to perfection, tender and full of flavor. The fresh salad was light and crisp, and the vegetables were seasoned wonderfully and had just the right amount of crunch. Compliments to the chef and the entire kitchen team—everything was prepared with care and love. We felt so well taken care of and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the evening. Highly recommend Casa Mia for any gathering—big or small. We left full, happy, and grateful! Thank you Iralis

We had a company holiday lunch at Casa Mia using their holiday menu. The main courses were solid and generally well-liked, though the dessert portion was quite small. My biggest issue was the pricing. We were told the event would be charged at lunch pricing, but when the bill arrived it reflected dinner pricing—an additional $10 per person—plus another $2 per person because it was a Friday. On top of that, there was a 20% service charge that was not disclosed anywhere in the holiday menu materials and was apparently not a gratuity. After tipping the single waitress who served our group of 21, the total cost ended up about 30% higher than expected. Edit: Review updated after discussing with event manager - all issues were rectified in a timely manner. Will be happy to go back and eat there again!
