We stumbled across his restaurant after typing in the search term "BYOB" (bring your own wine). After much discussion we decided to give the Casa Mare a try since it was in driving distance and we both had a craving for Italian. WE were pleasantly surprised. After being seated immediately, the friendly waitress opened our wine and explained some of the "Table d'Hote" choices on the menu. We started with the fried Calamari and a small Cesar salad. "The portions were huge!!" The Fried Calamari was delicious and light and the(small) Cesar salad could easily feed the two of us. The Chef "Frank" greeted us at our table and asked how we were enjoying our meal so far....i said it was simply "amazing"!!and he proceeded to give us a little history (38 years) of this family run restaurant. We then started the main course ...a Homemade tasty pizza that was listed for 2 but clearly could feed 4 . (wow ! they know how to make pizza)We were so full that we brought half of the remaining pizza home with us.(a tasty lunch the following day). To sum up the evening...The decorative ambiance inside brings a touch of Italy to mind and the staff are fun to talk with. The food is tasty and fresh and the portions are huge for the money. I would recommend this restaurant to any one as we plan to return soon ourselves.
