I am completely blown away by all the less then 4 star reviews! I have been going to Lo Cascio's for a good 10-12 years and I have never once had a bad experience here. EVER.\n\nYes the decor is out dated, but really does that effect your eating experience that much? Me thinks not. \n\nAnd I honestly love the \"kitschy\" music piped through....since when was Sinatra kitschy? \n\nThe hubs, a friend and I all went this past Saturday night. We got there about 7:30 and the parking lot was PACKED! When we got inside we were asked if we had reservations, we told them no and they sid it would be a few minutes. No big deal. We waited maybe 5 minutes. \n\nOur waitress was sooo friendly and helpful. We all had questions and were going back and forth on what to get. \n\nThe fresh bread loafs are always a favorite. The soups always change and are terrific.\n\nFor starters we got the Mozzarella Marinara and the Calamari Fritto. The mozzarella is a MUST! Seriously it will change the way you view fried mozzarella for the rest of your life. I promise. \n\nI ordered the Gnocchi with pink sauce. OH MY! The gnocchi is made fresh in house and you can tell! Little pillows of heaven! The pink sauce was top notch.\n\nHubs had the veal, and ate every last bit. He said it was amazing. I would not know as I passed on trying it. \n\nOur friend got the Fantasy Chicken (I think that was the name) It was sooo light and totally outstanding! \n\nWe also all got cannolis and coffees at the end, great way to cap off a tasty meal. \n\nSo for 3 meals, 2 apps, 3 desserts, 3 coffees and I think 5 glasses of wine hit the table our total bill was only $168. I honestly thought it was going to be well above $200 the way we got down on that dinner. \n\nThis is one of my all time fav italian places to hit up. And love supporting mom and pop places.
