6. Casale's Half Way Club

My wife and I really enjoyed Casale's when we were here about a year ago. We often said we need to go back. Today, Saturday, we were able to make reservations on short notice for 5:30pm.We arrived a few minutes early and were immediately greeted and told it would be just a couple of minutes.The interior remains the same small and cozy space and was full of people enjoying their meals. The aroma when you walk in is wonderful.They have a full bar along with wine and bottled beer options. The jukebox was playing old favorites from Frank Sinatra and others at a perfect volume allowing you to enjoy the music while still easily conversing.We were promptly seated in one of the booths and provided menus. We ordered drinks and began our struggle to decide what to order. We started with the Kellames special (garlic bread with mama's signature red sauce for dipping). My wife ordered the ricotta cheese ravioli with meat balls. I ordered the beef ravoli and spaghetti (1/2 and1/2), both entrees come with a choice of minestrone soup or salad.Our soup and appetizer arrived and looked delicious - we both enjoyed everything.Our entrees arrived and also looked great - we were only able to eat about half and decided to take the rest home for leftovers. Their red sauce is really really good.We plan to come back when we have family in town - remember to call ahead for a reservation and also, they are cash only.

First time for Briscola. Staff was excellence, waiter, busboy and bartender all at the top of thier game. Food in down one notch from great. Although well presented, the meat was overdone and my wife's spagetti course over spiced. All in all we will go back. The drinks were outstanding, with special care from the bar!

We had been stuck on the freeway for an hour and were starving. We decided to go to The Olive Garden for a dependable meal and were not disappointed. We were happy they let my daughter and I split a plate at no charge. To my great surprise, they actually split the plate for us, and brought 1/2 portions on two plates so we didn't have to separate it ourselves. It was really great service and pretty quick for a sit down restaurant.

Had dinner there last evening; celebrating a friend's birthday. My friend's ordered plates of pasta and I never saw so much pasta in a plate, it could have served all of us at the table. My friend's remarked how delicious the food was. My husband and I had the Salmon and it was also delicious served with a vegetable and potatoes. The waiter brought some Tiramisu for the birthday boy with a candle on top. It was a great dinner and we walked out with full tummies.Hello,Happy belated birthday for your friend and we so appreciate you choosing our La Strada for the birthday celebration. So stoked that you all had a great meal with your tummies were quite full.Super cool and thank you,THE ROW Family

The restaurant is tastefully furnished and comfortable. The food selection is plentiful and the cheese ravioli in mushroom sauce was delish according to my wife. The veal scallopini was nice and the side salad of Ceasar was generous. The waiter was very attentive and we were never rushed.
