We have driven past the sign on hwy 63 for years and were finally able to stop in. A very simple little place surrounded by beautiful fields to enjoy out the windows as you dine. Very clean, incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. We enjoyed the pasta "flight" as an appetizer so we could taste the different sauces prior to ordering. Also ordered deep fried ravioli, spaghetti with meatballs, and the Italian sausage sandwich. Portion size is generous and everything was delicious. We will definitely return.

If I lived in or near Cumberland, I'd eat at Bona Casa at least once a week! They serve food straight from the Italian to the American heartland. The service is great with expanded hours. Take time to view the photos of families and friends that lived life in Wisconsin to its fullest. This is true Americana!

Cheese and raisin ravioli or chicken? If you know, you know. This is a Cumberland staple since I was a very young child. The Italian culture shines through as you can order just about any type of pasta here but the staple items tend to be ravioli and cavatille. The sausage is 100% made in house but many believe it comes from Louie's Meats, which is not true. Normally, I'd get a meatball with my pasta but not here. Sausage all the time! Many of the meals are served with a side salad and a basket of breadsticks for the entire table. Recently under new ownership, there has been a slight uptick in menu options and Bona Casa now carries pesto sauce (which previously never existed) along with a facelift of decor. The staff here works extremely hard for their customers. If you're in the area, swing by! They still have their frozen options, take outs and classic pizzelles.

Nice Italian with a limited menu. If you love ravioli and gnocchi then this is your place. We did not try the pizza but many people ordered it. We took home some frozen sauce and ravioli and really enjoyed that as well.

I mostly but take out that I cook myself at home. Marinara style sauce which I love. This sauce recipe is very traditional to the Italian community in the area. If you want home style Italian cooking that was passed down from multiple generations and not altered, this is your place. If you want over spiced, non traditional recipes go somewhere else that has a huge bill at the end of your meal. BTW, I'm super happy to see the restaurant is now owned by the original owners descendant.

Imagine driving down a sleepy country road, seeing cars pour into a restaurant around the 5 pm opening time (close to a dozen in the 15 minutes we waited for take out), and finding what I think you'll agree is guilty-pleasure, home-cooked from scratch, northern Italian food like the Italian Grandma you never had would make. In this case, the place is named Bona Casa foods and my wife tells me a couple guys have owned and operated this gem since the mid 80's. I've driven past the sign on State Hwy 63 for at least 8 years AFTER a friend recommended Bona Casa and for 16 years total. Trust me, the side track about 2 miles east on the quiet road is well worth it. We ordered one cavatills and one chicken and cheese ravioli, a salad and garlic bread and the two of us feasted for two meals. One order included the Italian sausage. We had both pastas lathered in half white and half red sauce. The cavatills were my first and won't be my last. Nothing about them screamed low cal but I didn't care. The pasta and sauces combined with the salad, garlic bread and wine made for an incredible meal. And ours was take out. Take out portions - generous - I think they typically serve family style. Bona Casa is a must if your in the area or passing through the Cumberland area. I didn't step inside but my wife said they're was plenty of seating. If there's a wait, there's plenty of room outside for kids to run around. Bona Casa has become one of my go to spots for take out when heading the the cabin. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

My wife is from a small town in north west Wisconsin. I have been heard about and wanted to try Bona Case for the past 20 years. We finally placed a pick up order and were about to try Bona Casa. We did as we usually do and that's order way too much food. Our order consisted of a gallon of their red sauce, a container of their white sauce, both types of their ravioli, meatballs, breadsticks and some Italian sausage. Thank you to the young man who took our order over the phone. He was very friendly and helpful! First thoughts when we picked up our food were this is a lot of food! We ate some for two nights and still have more. The ravioli look like Cha Siu Bao or for those who don't eat much Chinese food, they are about the size of a tennis ball. Biggest ravioli we have ever seen. Needless to say we were a little apprehensive. I mean these are big ravioli. The result? Best ravioli we've ever had! We ordered both flavors with the cheese and raisin being our favorite. Yes that sounds weird and we only ordered those based on another review. They were excellent. The ravioli are homemade. The inside is filled with what could be a cheese curd. There is a nice chunk of cheese in those ravioli. I mean hey, this is Wisconsin! Both sauces were good. The red sauce tasted more basic where the white sauce had some pepper jack (more cheese). The meatballs are pork and beef and have really good flavor. They are a little dense but otherwise are flavored well. The bread sticks were nothing special. First time we heated them up we wrapped them in foil. The second time which was better we put them on a cookie sheet then brushed them with butter. Due to the size and amount of sausage we didn't eat that yet. Since we have plenty of sauce that'll go well with future meals. We love small family owned places and Bona has been around a long time. We'll definitely be going back to get some more ravioli soon.
