Dear Friends:
First day of Autumn, for that matter the month of September, makes me think of school, sweaters, apples and new books. Boy am I getting old! But I can still recall coming home from a chilly afternoon's football game to find my mother's delicious meat stew and potatoes, Italian semolina bread and cream soda. Yes, way before my wine days. We'll try to get our new additions to our regular menu to touch a memory for everyone. I've told you mine, why not write me at info@casadante.com and tell us your's. I'll post your emails on this newsletter and buy you a glass of wine next time you're in.
Happy Autumn to all & Thanks for reading!

( see our FACEBOOK page to view photos & videos of last years celebration ) - 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.

Great Recipe
Veal Milanese
you must know that Casa Dante makes the best Veal dishes anywhere. This is Giada De Laurentis' recipe. It's very good. Let us know how it works for you!
Ingredients - 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups plain dry bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 pounds thinly sliced veal scallopine
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Directions Preheat oven to 175 degrees F. In a shallow dish, beat eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour flour into another shallow dish. Mix together the bread crumbs, basil and thyme in a third shallow dish. Have ready one large plate. Season the veal with salt and pepper. Working with 1 piece of veal at a time, dip it first in the flour, shaking off excess. Next, place the floured veal into the beaten eggs, coating completely. Place the veal into the bread crumb mixture and gently press crumbs into the veal. Set aside on large plate and continue with remaining veal slices. In a large skillet with high sides, heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Have ready a baking sheet fitted with a rack. Carefully place 2 pieces of breaded veal in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 6 to 8 minutes total. Place cooked veal on rack, season with salt and place in oven to keep warm. Continue with remaining veal.
