    We experienced our first meal at Casa last night. What an absolutely great experience it was! We started with the devine artichoke hearts, I had lasagna and husband had the fettuccine and both were large portions and excellent. The lasagna was the best I’ve ever had, and I make it alot! We shared the chocolate and coffee creme and what a wonderful way to top off our meal. So tasty and light after a heavy pasta meal. Our server Natasha was wonderful and recommended the choc and the coffee creme for dessert. We highly recommend Casa de Stefano and can’t wait to return with family.
