Delicious food! Good wine choices. Fantastic server, she was super busy but sufficiently attentive, and knew her craft. Atmosphere conducive to relaxing over a meal: lighting, music, etc, spot on. We'll be back

It’s been a while since we’ve been to Casa Antica solely due to its distance from our home. This evening’s meal was a wonderful reminder as to why we need to come back more often. The food was so flavorful and delicious. Our server was personable, quick, and responsive to our every need. It was a busy summer Friday evening, but as a table of two, we weren’t effected. One of the things that we discussed at our table was how every server and busser was in constant motion with purpose. No one stood around. I cannot say enough about the delicious food and excellent service. We’ve already planned our next visit with family.
