My Two Cents
Everybody comes from Brooklyn
I grew up in Gravesend Brooklyn in the 60s. We thought we knew and
had everything important in life. Safe neighborhood; Good public schools; the
best looking guys and girls; and plenty of opportunity. If you wanted to work,
there was always a job somewhere for you. Either so and so would help you work
on wall street or another friend could land you a summer job in Coney Island.
Yup! Working at the Wonder Wheel was a blast.
Of course, we thought Brooklyn had the best food. The best pizza
was found ( and still is today ) at L & Bs Spumoni Gardens. Something about
the squares they sell...with the secret sauce. It was and is delicious.
Some of the best Italian food in New York came from
Brooklyn. I remember Carolinas, Gargiulios, New Corners, Ninos.....I can
go on and on. Great restaurants.
With changing times, we ran away from al those familiar places to
the suburbs. Some of us went to Jersey, others to Long Island. I had a friend
that moved to North Carolina. Imagine going from what was then the Italian food
capital of the world outside of Italy, and moving to North Carolina. Una
disgrazia!
But it all seemed to work out. Today some of the best foods come
from suburban areas. From Great Neck to Montvale to Red Bank ( Jersey City
too!) you can always find a good restaurant and an enjoyable
glass of wine. I wonder if those kids from Brooklyn had anything to do with it?

Happenings at Casa
Dante
- 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
Stags Leap Vineyards, a major Napa Valley winemaker.
If you have interest please email info@casadante.com, mention
"wine" in the subject and we will email you info as we get it.
- It's not too early; we're
planning a big New Years Eve bash and you need to reserve spots as
soon as you can. Julian & Dominique will entertain us through the New
Year...call for info 201-795-2750
- 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 back on a 7 Day schedule.
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 Mondays
thru September
- Come in on your birthday and you
get a glass of house wine on us!
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!
