Wagyu from $192 on the menu we read
Why it's listed
An Italian steakhouse on the second floor above The Mercato in Lincoln, run in partnership with Certified Piedmontese Beef and Aragon Tavern, serving antipasti, house pasta and a bistecca board by reservation only. Its a la carte menu names Kagoshima A5 twice: a 7 oz Wagyu Strip at $192 sub-titled A5 kagoshima, and a 12 oz New York Strip Flight at $250 that pours Certified Piedmontese, Morgan Ranch of Burwell, Nebraska, and Kagoshima A5 side by side. A wagyu sugo dresses the Cielo Radiatore pasta at $36. The menu is dated and rotates.
Authenticity flags
- The $250 New York strip flight pours three different beefs side by side, and only two of them are Wagyu. The third is Certified Piedmontese, an Italian heritage breed that is not Wagyu at all, so part of that plate is a different animal by design.
- The Nebraska ranch named on the flight does not publish a breed generation for its Wagyu herd, so how far back the Japanese lineage runs on that strip is not stated. The Kagoshima A5 strip beside it is fully identified by both region and grade.

Common questions
- Does Casa Bovina serve real Wagyu?
- Yes, and it says where the beef comes from. Casa Bovina in Lincoln, NE publishes enough detail on its own materials to identify the Wagyu it sells, which is the standard this directory calls verified, last checked on August 18, 2026. That means a named Japanese brand or prefecture with its grade, an American breed status with a named producer, or an Australian producer with a marbling score.
- What kind of Wagyu does Casa Bovina serve?
- Its menu discloses Kagoshima A5 and Morgan Ranch. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- How was Casa Bovina verified?
- By reading the venue's own current material, its menu, its site or its ordering system, and quoting the line that names the beef. Reviews, aggregator copies and press mentions are not accepted as the source, because they go stale silently. Verification is assisted by AI and every claim is stored with the page it came from, last confirmed on August 18, 2026.
