Welcome to
Autumn....a bit depressing to see Summer end, but Fall is the gateway to
Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza and New Years Eve!
It a fun time of
the year, so celebrate each and every day! Obviously, we can help!
Happy &
Healthy New Year to all our friends who celebrate the Yom Kippur holiday.

My Two Cents
Wine is good for your health!
I've
been reading alot of stuff about wine and its benefits of late. Everybody's
gotten into the act. Talk of red over white; one glass, two glasses or more
daily. Wine is the flavor of the month it seems.
I
can't help wonder about my grandfather, long deceased in Italy, who made and
sold his wine well into his retirement. It subsidized his small
pension, and probably dulled the edge of his frugal existence. He drank
at least a glass of wine daily and knew, innately, that it was a good
thing. I remember a knock on the door during dinner in his humble
but warm home. We were having dinner and the interruption wasn't uncommon.
"Nonno" greeted his customer at the door with a liter of his bold red
( the only red he sold ). After the exchange, he returned to the table
satisfied that this age-old talent of his could still make him feel his worth.
He raised a glass to all as we were departing for America the next day. We
never had a meal together again, but I still raise a glass in his memory!
Thanks
for reading!

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!
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!
