Casa D’Amico

Ordered three dinners from here for pickup tonight around ⁶³⁰⁄₇₀₀. This used to be our go-​to for hearty pasta dinners that wasn’t just some run of the mill generic Italian sandwich shop (which we have a glut of in this area). This was the last night we’ll order, however. It wasn’t so much the mediocre food but the atrocious service we received afterwards.
I was sitting next to the person who placed the order — 1 meatball sadwich/​extra sauce, Gnocchi Blush Sauce, and Penne blush sauce/​side of sausage. Pretty stock order. My dad brings it home and — there’s a sausage sandwich instead of meatball. The gnocchi platter didn’t have much food at all, but I just assumed they’d decided to cut back portions. The flavor wad bland. Mom thought her penne was passable. Garlic bread received had raw garlic on it, which is weird.
I called D’Amicos pretty soon after we discovered the error to let them know that they sent us someone else’s sandwich and to see if they would send us out a new one. The gentleman on the other end argued with me, telling me that the lady he spoke with definitely ordered it. I advised him no, that was not the case, as I heard her order it. I asked for another to be delivered and he initially asks if I’d be comfortable with a 20−30m wait. I agree. He says he’ll have it done in 5 if I just come get it. No — I won’t. He argues with me again, this time telling me it will be a 45 min wait for delivery. I still agree and we confirm my address.
It’s now 1105pm and we’re still waiting for the sandwich. I’m remaining hopeful we’ll get it in time for New Year’s.
Here’s the thing. Even if you’re 100% convinced that you and your perfect ears heard something that did not in fact happen — you are a business dependent on customers. I don’t care what bad day you had, if you feel bloated or if you burnt the ravioli. I paid for food that didn’t come out right AND I even came to get it from you. Just drop off another sandwich and keep the repeat business. Damn.

I’ve been here twice in the past month and both times the food and service were excellent. I love the fact that it’s a byob. My only complaint would be that on both occasions that I was there, the hostess initially sat us right next to another couple. on the last occasion that table and our table were the only two occupied in the entire restaurant! Not sure what that was about… but we were gladly placed at another table when we requested it. Will be back again. Good food and reasonable prices.

We will not be back.
When my husband, my 16 year old son and I arrived to this establishment on a cold January night, we were seated right away and there was another couple finishing up their meal. The waitress was completely and totally disinterested in providing is good service after our initial seating. However, she was completely engrossed in conversation with the couple finishing up. We ordered a chicken parm entrée, an eggplant parm entrée and a chicken parm sandwich. Nothing crazy. You would think that the waitress would be somewhat attentive, having only two tables. However, she was oddly engrossed in conversation with the other table to the point that it was really starting to become almost like the twilight zone. Were we invisible? Did we disappear? After about 25 minutes of waiting around, I loudly asked my husband «What time is it?» This broke conversation enough for the waitress to bring us our salads. Again, the consuming, engrossing conversation between the waitress and other couple ensued. We finished our salads, then we waited… waited… waited… and listened in on the conversation…“My brother goes to Timber Creek, yada, yada, 20 minutes goes by again. I’m sure our entrees are ready and cooling off as we sit. My husband went to use the mens room, at that time another couple came in to dine. That broke up the conversation. I asked the waitress if our entrees were ready yet and then she finally brought them. Stone Cold. At this point I just wanted to get out of there. The low quality red sauce and gummy eggplant wasnt holding my attention any longer. Never again. Never never never.

Wonderful small 100% family owned and run. Paid attention to all our needs .very personal. Excellent «Seafood Trio» new year’s eve special was exquisite. .scallops.large shrimp. and crab meat. blush sauce over Penne. How can you top this place if you love Italian. plus BYOB! I love veal and the Saltimbocca was mouth watering delicious. .check my picture out. 5 star plus in every aspect. the Tiramisu was perfect and delivered with a candle for my wife’s birthday :-)

This was my second visit to Casa’s and both experiences were fine. This time was take out as we were at the hospital close by and had to return quickly. The food was decent, not the best Italian I have ever had considering I enjoy Italian thoroughly, but for the price and quality/​quantity I would return.
We ordered the lasagna and it came with a small salad and garlic bread. The lasagna was fresh and had a great mix of meat/​cheese. The sauce was a little thin for I, but did have a great taste. Again, just my preference. The dinner salad was also fresh and came with homemade dressing which was also great. The garlic bread is just a standard Amarosos type soft roll, nothing to get excited about, but the garlic seemed fresh and it was seasoned well. Wouldnt mind paying more for my meal for bread like Sarcones or Licios seeded. Actually, it would probably attract more clients with better rolls as there is no one in the area I know that uses those rolls and would be a nice niche for Casa’s.
The rest of the meal consisted of an order of meatballs, an order of sausage, and an order of broccoli rabe. Two meatballs were $ 4.00 and they were very large. Very well priced and a really decent meatball. The sausage was ok, nothing to get excited about. Not a Bottos sausage, but would order again if I was in the mood for sausage. The broccoli rabe was great. This is a hard item to cook as it can be bitter and some people over cook it. They know how to cook broccoli rabe. It was fresh, had great seasoning that included garlic, and was cooked properly.
Service has also been great here. From the waitresses to the cooks behind the counter, not a complaint and very easy going when you want something special. Unfortunately, their website has been under construction for a while and there is no online menu, but don’t let that deter you.
Overall, Casa’s is a must try. Again, for the price/​qty/​quality, its a solid 4 stars. Service is great, but wouldnt go there for exquisite atmosphere. Nice, quite old world Italian though. The owner greeted us and was very friendly which goes a long way. Also remember this joint is a BYOB, and for me that is fine as I prefer not to be overcharged for under poured cocktails.

I can not speak for all their foods, but their Pizza is good. Not the best within delivery range but it is good to have a back-​up, no?

Love this place! I’ve been eating here for years. Food is excellent and if you enjoy crabs well that’s the place to go from May till September. If you haven’t been there for any of there dinners you do not know what you are missing! If you know and enjoy good food then you will not be disappointed.

Garlic bread and peppers in gravy, excellent. Clams over linguini white excellent. Clams and mussels red over linguini good, gravy too thin and watery. Chicken parm ok, chicken could have been more tender.

Very filling portions, dishes are spot in. I had the penne & vodka, my guests had chicken parmesean, and lasanga. The meal is very filling between the generous portions of soup and salad they serve so make sure to leave room for your entrée or plan to pack it up and take it home with you.
The setting of the dining room is a bit tacky and dated so I wouldn’t recommend taking anyone important there or hosting an event there.
