Best Casual Restaurants in Itasca

Classic. You seriously cannot go wrong. From drinks, to apps, to entrees to the must try key lime pie. I have been a patron of Shaw’s since 1991 and still love it! Go!!

Finally got around to taking my family to Goat and Vine on Thursday and we had a wonderful time. Especially enjoyed the bruschetta appetizer . I had the cod which was very good, but the brussels sprouts were beyond the best. Vanesa was our server and she was very kind and patient with us as we made our choices. In fact, I had such a good time that I was back the next day with friends. We came for the Happy Hour , and the manager was kind enough to find a spot for us in the very crowded restaurant. Again, Vanesa was our server and she was her usual happy helpful polite, self. Yes again to the bruschetta for appetizer. I had the jambalaya, which is always excellent and did not disappoint. It was a perfect evening with friends lots of conversation , very easy to talk to people, and we ended with the wonderful macadamia ice cream dessert. Very large very delicious and certainly will be ordered again. If you think that isn’t enough, I am actually going back in another week with another friend so I to introduce her to my favorite favorite restaurant. The service is impeccable. The manager is very helpful and very involved and the server staff has always been friendly and patient. The food by far is exceptional and oh yeah, I forgot to mention the lemon drop martini is a must have. Highly recommend this place you will not be disappointed on any level

Good service, good food, no complaints. I’d reccomend it

Birthday celebration. Service was excellent! Angel checked on us just frequently enough to make sure we had everything we needed. Mozzarella Sticks starter was generous. Steaks & Fish dishes were cooked properly and delicious. Only downside was the salad that was served at the same time as the entree!! Angel apologized for kitchen error.

Went for Christmas Eve. First time ever dining there. Menu was great. Appetizers were excellent. Great baked clams and the best fried calamari and shrimp with spectacular cocktail sauce. Margarita pizza was perfect. Strongly recommend the Zuppa do pesce. Sauce a bit of the thicker side than what I’m used to. But great flavor and generous amount of seafood. Excellent cannoli and gelato too. Our server was very attentive. Can’t wait to go back to try more entrees.
