We're bringing
back "lunch portions" on selected items next week. If you've come in
for lunch and felt that you ate a days worth of meal, this
option will be made available to you. Easier on your figure as well as your
wallet.
We will be
featuring more locally grown and organic fruits and vegetables ( when available
due to weather and seasons ) on our offerings. Its a great way to support New
Jersey businesses and we get to provide tasty, healthful and super fresh
options on our menu.
See the
entertainment options this weekend below and thanks for reading!

My Two Cents
She
said the restaurant was "Old School". I guess the meaning was lost on
me. In my mind "Old School" means dated, worn out and
unwanted. But I was to be corrected in such a pleasing fashion. My new
customer reminded me that her remark was a sentimental, nostalgic compliment.
She went on to say that our food was of a quality and style that she remembers
having at her grandmothers home years ago.
Our
waiters come across like the pro's that they are and their courtesy
and treatment are not found in very many establishments these days. Of course,
I'm paraphrasing here. I couldn't possibly remember, nor recount the
exacting eloquence of her description but It sure made me happy.
When
I see a review about "old school" Casa Dante now I have a whole new
perspective on the meaning. It's one of the little things that keep you
going in this business!

Happenings
at Casa Dante
- We're trying to use more locally grown produce ( weather,
seasons and conditions permitting ) here at Casa Dante. Organic is a
concept which is being embraced by more restaurants these days and we will
do our utmost to provide you with the best products, local or
otherwise.
- Casa Dante's Wine list has received a Wine Spectator Award
for 2012 and as a thank you to our loyal patrons, all wines on our list
will be sold at half price on all Tuesdays in August with your
dinner. Thanks again!
- Wine Dinner this fall will be produced by our Sommelier, Dan Roorda in conjuction with food pairings assist by Chef Gregg. Date is to be announced, and it should be an event.
The featured wines will be from a major Napa Valley winemaker ( also TBA
as soon as we strike a final deal). If you have interest please email info@casadante.com, mention
"wine" in the subject and we will email you info as we get it.
- Make sure you take advantage of our Recession specials, next
segment below...we know that driving here plus tolls is quite an expense
these days....see below so we can help you have a great meal at Casa
Dante!
- Our "Big Night" dinner will be reserved for early
December as the sheer quantity of food is too voluminous for a summer/fall
feast. Winter seems to be the date all are interested and we will announce
the date soon.
- Much more fresh fish and healthier choices on our menus. As
you may know, our fish is always fresh, never frozen. We have many
vegetarian choices and, of course, our meats are the best cuts available.
" The veal is like butter" she exclaimed!
- We are taking Mondays off during August but will
be back on a seven day schedule right after Labor Day.
I've reintroduced this section because even though we're easing out of this "great recession" there are still many out there who struggle paying high gas prices and increased tolls and the like. As such, see the following "deals" for those of you who have read this far down:
- 10% discount
on parties of 4 or more Monday thru Thursdays....but you need to print and
present this to your server...thanks for reading
- Make a
reservation on Open Table ( links above ) and get discounts, points and
notices
- Half Price
wine on Tuesdays thru August
Owner's Table
For those of
you who "friend" us on Casa Dante Facebook, you know that I take photos of food and goodies at my table
and post them. We use our "like"FACEBOOKto notify
events, parties, holidays and the like. But our "friend" page is
reserved for my own messages to you...usually involves food.....my friends love
these...some of you who have moved to far away places ( Florida, North
Carolina, California etc ) really seem to appreciate them.
If you're on Facebook, check us out. We'd love
to see you there!
Something a bit different. Our food featured on
