FALL IN LOVE WITH CASANOVA




FALL IN LOVE WITH CASANOVA

Giacomo Casanova was an Italian man adored by many women in his time. He was the world's greatest romancer, one that had ladies swooning over him and his offering of love. He was the pre-modern day icon of everything romantic and whimsical.

Today his name appears in a casual Italian restaurant in White Plains, Quezon City called GRAN CAFFE CASANOVA. It's practically a small piece of Italy on Philippine soil, what with the authentic Italian cuisine and slice of Italian culture this new romantic, gastronomic haven offers.

The place boasts of a choice to dine al fresco in a quiet environment surrounded by trees, open spaces, and an overlooking view of the metro's skyline under the twinkling stars – or inside the the quaint shop where the food is prepared with dedication and passion that the Italians are so much known for. GRAN CAFFE CASANOVA is the perfect place to dine with the liberty and semi-privacy to enjoy the food, music and very romantic ambiance that the restaurant always exudes.

But essential to the restaurant's Italian authenticity is the cuisine: serving after serving of appetizers, soups, salad, pasta, risotto and desserts that seem to paint a picture of Venice, Milan and Rome with every mouthful.

Begin your delectable journey with your choice of antipasti, like Gamberoni in Coppa Con Cocomero E Eneto, a prawn cocktail served in a wide cup with watermelon and dill mayonnaise. For the strict vegetarian, a plate of Involtini Vegetali alle due Salse, a combination of grilled vegetables served with pesto and sun dried tomato sauce, will do wonders for whetting your appetite.

After the soup and salad, try their home specials-those that they guarantee you can't find anywhere else-like the Papardelle Nere al Granchio, a home-made squid-ink colored pasta with crab meat in olive oil and white wine, or the Trancio di Tonno con Pepperoni e Mentuccia, which is a chunky piece of yellow fin tuna sauteed in olive oil and served with minted grilled bell peppers and onionade. Guaranteed to elicit ooooh's and aaaah's!

Take your fill of pizza, seafood and steak specials – the night is yours for the taking. Afterwards, delight yourself in dessert such as the classic Panna Cotta and Tiramisu, Oreo spin drinks, or choose between coffee and liquor as a nightcap. The bar offers a wide array of premium Italian wines, too.

GRAN CAFFE CASANOVA Ristorante Italiano also offers Healthy-Hearty Merienda Set Meals and Happy Hour from 3PM to 7PM..Business hours is from 11:00 AM until 11:00 PM but hours are extended on weekends for your dining pleasure and is located at the Clubhouse of Corinthian Hills along Temple Drive in Quezon City ( near White Plains ).
