| - We recently returned to Casa Di Amore after having moved to the other side of town. Prior to our move we frequented this restaurant often when it was opened 24/7. Currently it no longer operates 24/7.
Since returning and then checking yelp for reviews, I was stunned that nobody mentioned the table situation since the renovations, because it is bad enough to ruin your dining experience. One of the unique features about this restaurant is that it has booths to accommodate up to 6 people. Since the renovation, the owner opted not to replace the tables that fit the booth! Instead he opted to put TWO 2-top tables together turned sideways! So these spacious booths now have two very narrow tables, side by side resulting with two people eating where the two tables meet. What was he thinking! In addition, these tables have huge cafe stands which limit your leg and foot room. The tables also are not balanced to the floor which means you need to be very aware of your plates at all times because they tilt and swerve. Who does this? All the booths in this restaurant now have this impractical table setup. Michael get the correct tables for your booths.
Another annoying feature about the renovations would be the extremely bright (pink) spot lights on each table. It is like being in a room with over the top pink fluorescent lighting in your face. There is nothing warm about the lighting anymore in this restaurant unless you sit in the bar. A lighting designer would never use this configuration.
The food. The beauty of Casa Di Amore in its day was the quality and value. The current prices at Casa Di Amore are very inflated for the quality. As in Sinatra pricing at the Encore minus the high quality food. The food presentations are what my Sicilian grandmother would call "half-hearted". Their signature wedding soup is now loaded with salt, missing the greens (that it use to have) and the broth that years ago you could tell took hours to make fresh, now tastes like it is out of a carton. Our pasta dishes were delivered to the table unfinished. As in, someone dumped penne into a bowl and then poured a tiny bit of sauce in the dead center. Naked pasta is better left for a buffet line. It was also grossly over cooked.
One good thing is that Casa Di Amore still has really good entertainment. Sadly, we won't be returning to this restaurant again. We will drive the extra few miles to get better quality food, correct tables and elegant dining atmosphere at Allegro, Sinatra or Capos.
