Celebrate the Holidays at CasaDami on the Waterfront

Since arriving in Newport Beach earlier this year, CasaDami has captured attention for its refined Italian flavors and wine-forward focus. The restaurant earned a 2025 Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator and features a simple, polished menu of tapas and entrees designed to pair with thoughtfully selected wines. CasaDami is located right on the water in Balboa Island’s Peninsula Village, where valet service and boat docking are available.

CasaDami is celebrating the holiday season with special events and festive decor throughout the restaurant. The patio will soon offer a front-row view of the annual Newport Beach Boat Parade, held December 17 to 21, as hundreds of decorated ships parade past the waterfront. The event draws more than 1.5 million people each year.

A special three-course prix fixe Christmas Eve menu will be offered for $100 per person. The first course includes a choice of crispy arrancini alla bolognese or a winter salad with castelfranco radicchio, stracciatella, candied hazelnuts and blood orange. The second course features CasaDami’s signature ossobuco alla milanese with saffron risotto or an eggplant lasagna. For dessert, guests can enjoy panettone, a traditional Italian Christmas sweet, or a pistachio cheesecake.

Beverage Director Allan Camarena, a Level II sommelier formerly with The Pendry, curates the wine program.

Reservations are available online.
