Visiting for the first time.. its important to know the outside lettering is "City of Asylum and "Caseullula" is displayed in a much smaller style. I was looking for "Casellula" since this was my first visit. Off street parking wasn't an issue nearby on a Thursday evening at 5 (they open at 5). No doubt one of the coolest places I have patronized in the burg. Wine/cheese/plates - small dining area and bar - adjacent to a stage/reading area and library of books which I understand is a bookstore (non-profit). We tried the "House made Pickles" green tomatoes - fresh and delicious. The "Greens" I really liked this salad and soon as I saw "escarole and blue cheese were part of the ingredients I was sold. I could have ate several bowls of this salad - quite exquisite. "Mac and Cheese" came piping hot and ideal serving size for 1 - or possibly two if you are eating other items.. It was small side. "Beef Cheeks" was my favorite dish of the night. The beef and polenta was a match made in heaven and my taste buds were singing.
I was in the mood for a stiff drink and love tequila so the bartender recommended "Beyond Wild" Cocktail which was tequila, mescal, lime and coconut. .. very refreshing and hit the spot! The prices are above average - which is expected but worth it.
I definitely want to head back for a reading and explore more. Thanks Caseullula
