Casa Tua
Hidden amid a grove of trees, Casa Tua is designed to make diners forget about the outside world. Two dining rooms and garden seating offer guests an evening tailor-made to their needs.
A large chef's table holds 18 to 20 people and can be reserved for parties, but it also serves as sophisticated "bar" seating for those interested in a quick bite. The main dining room has cozy tables in a homey atmosphere for more intimate occasions.
Every detail is attended to at Casa Tua. The menu, filled with delectable Italian dishes, is shaped like a family photo album. Waiters are skilled in the perfect wine pairing and the restaurant prides itself on using only the finest ingredients from around the world.
