I really like this place. Casual but elegant with a "neighborhoody" feel. I've gone with a former business partner (who it turns out is a snake) for just a coffee, and casual and business dinners and it's been perfect every time. Very pro servers really helps.
Cantine advertises it's Italian (and while that may be true), it has things on the menu like burgers, ribs, and curry that really throw the scent off (but it's all good).
I recommend:
1. Roasted Beet, Pear, and Warm Goat Cheese Salad ($10.95)
2. Pan Seared Calamari ($10.95)
3. Cantine's Famous Caesar Salad ($10.95)
4. Spaghettini with Grilled Shrimp ($16.95)
Considering it's near the high-priced district of Avenue & Yount, it's very well priced. Kudos on many levels.
