There's certainly no shortage of Italian restaurants here in Western Massachusetts; only Chinese eateries are seemingly more numerous. Noteworthy Italian dining experiences, however, are less common, a probable explanation for why Casa di Lisa in the Feeding Hills section of Agawam is such a popular destination.

The restaurant's interior is a study in understatement, with a large fireplace serving as the dining area's focal point. Tables and chairs dominate the seating arrangements Though definitely Italian-American, the repertoire at Casa di Lisa also borrows from other culinary styles.
