    We had the tuna tartare starter which was delicious! We shared an entree, short rib over lobster Mac and cheese. It was a very large portion and so tasty! Our craft cocktails were perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. Can’t wait to go back!

    Team did a great job making our anniversary dinner a bit more special than a dinner. Complimentary champagne already at the table, a card, and complementary dessert were very nice and appreciated. Food was excellent.

    Grazie Mille to the Cas Antica Team! We had an 80th birthday celebration with a party of 7 on a weeknight and Roberto, Rosalinda and team were ready for us with all the bells and whistles! They gave us a private/cozy space as requested and were incredibly welcoming, warm and attentive which made the super delicious wine, apps, bread and entrees even better! To top the experience, The tiramisu cake we special-ordered was well worth it: proven by the rave reviews and cleaned plates around the table. A most wonderful evening which will add to the many great meals & memories we already have over the years while dining at Cas Antica! We will be back again whether casual or a special occasion… Molte Grazie!
