    We have dined at Casa Orinda’s since 1984….guess that’s 40 years. The food is always very good.| realized I had never ordered the cannelloni appetizer . I was excellent. No surprise. My husband orders the fried chicken. A Casa staple. There is no better. I got the eggplant parmigiana and always enjoy it. There are no bad choices. Our server tonight was Marty along with many others who clear and refill glasses. The staff and team are always attentive, professional and kind. Thank goodness Casa maintains the quality and excellent dining experience.

    Excellent dining experience in all respects! Server seemed overwhelmed and was perhaps given too many tables to take care of. Other wait staff gladly pitched in to help
