Whenever I want to take my wife to a romantic Italian restaurant, this is the place. You will typically be greeted by one of the owners of the restaurant and the service is always first class. My wife and I have had some of our most memorable dining experiences at Lo Cascio's.
Every time I go, I'm always shocked that Lo Cascio's does not have a line outside with patrons clamoring to get inside for this authentic southern Italian food. I come from a southern Italian family and am extremely picky when it comes to Italian food because, as far as I'm concerned, my grandparents did it best.
Lo Cascio's feels like I'm eating at my Italian grandparents house again. The red sauce is clearly prepared fresh and an authentic southern Italian treat to say the least! We come to this place as often as possible and have tried lots of items:
My Favorite? The fried mozzarella marinara appetizer. Simply the best dish of its kind. The waitress always replies, "Excellent choice!"
Bruschetta appetizer comes with fresh baked bread and is absolutely delicious.
Pizza appetizer - Last time we went they had a special extra thin small pizza that was out of this world! The pizzas here are incredible as well! Skip pizza hut or that other crap, and pick it up here for cheaper!
Italian Sausage and Peppers - I don't know exactly what they call it, but it's great! The sausage is among the best I've had and the dish was perfectly cooked and tasty!
Meatballs - I always get a side and never come away disappointed. Be sure to have the fresh parmesan topping it off!
Cheese Manicotta - One of my favorite dishes, the ricotta is out of this world and always cooked perfectly
I can go on all day about how great this restaurant is, in fact I signed up to yelp to get more people to check this place out! You will love it!
