- I've extended the 1/2 price wine Mondays with dinner through November. This program has become a great tradition here and we've been introduced to many new wine lovers as a result. Our Wine list was honored with a Wine Spectator Award for 2011 so the wines match the offer: Great!

- Holiday Season Reminders:
Although Thanksgiving is tradionally celebrated at home, we know that in today's busy lifestyle, this is often unrealistic and expensive. Combined with the time needed for shopping, preparing, cooking, serving & cleanup, the holiday's could become more of a chore than a celebration. Casa Dante offers an alternative; We are open forThanksgiving Day celebration on Thursday November 24th. Featuring either a Special Menu or just order ala carte off our regular menu. We don't do "seating's"( ie: 1pm, 3pm, etc ) so you choose the time by making reservations ( first come, first served so act soon). Let us do the work, the service, and the cleanup; you enjoy time with you family in a great restaurant!
- Christmas Eve Fish Dinner: Serving 3 till 9pm Traditional Fish Dinner or ala carte menu. Spend a quiet evening surrounded by your family. Enjoy a fabulous meal, award winning wine list for your choosing and then still have time to go home and open gifts. We make it enjoyable, easy and no work for you or your family!
- Holiday Parties welcome. Plenty of room for large groups. Reserve as early as you can. we can customize your menu or order ala carte.
- Valet parking in our lot.
