An Abundant Life - There's No Place Like Home

I've written before in these pages about the beautiful experiences I've had in different areas of Hoboken and Jersey City, and about the amazingly varied and excellent restaurants and hot spots, galleries and artists, and places to shop, have a cocktail or eat a delicious meal. And just when I think I've explored everything there is to explore, I find out about another wonderful and unique place. There really is something for everyone in the culinary adventure of the city called Hoboken, and sometimes that something is so extra special that its fame spreads by word of mouth because of something that is a specialty. La Casa is one of those places, and when I first heard about it through some friends who know their good food and who know their own way around in the kitchen enough to be very particular about the places where they eat out, I knew that they were telling me about a place that was truly special. And they didn't just mention it once in passing - every time I saw them they asked if I'd eaten at La Casa yet, and when I said I hadn't they would say you have to go! And finally one night when we were all out together, they took me to La Casa so I could see for myself.

They were one hundred and fifty percent right on with their estimation - La Casa is a very special place, with more than one specialty of the house to keep people going back for more. Everything they make is made by hand on site, and they have such a wide variety of flavors in their Cuban and Latin American influenced dishes that make each meal not only unique but the best of its kind. From Empanadas to Churrasco, and Camarones Al Ajillo to Pernil, each dish on the menu is a combination of comfort food and something that is so truly delicious that it reminds you of wonderful places you've been and places you'd like to go to, and meals that you'd have when you go there. And the staff is all so friendly and welcoming that you feel like you're right at home, with the Manager and Co-Owner Alan Fox greeting everyone personally at the door, and table service throughout the day and into the later part of the evening that makes you feel as if you're being taken care of by very good friends or perhaps even some family members you never knew you had who want to treat you to the best and most comfortable culinary experience possible. Co-Owners Russel Basile and Alan Fox have a history of food and hospitality industry experience that has given them insight into how to create a memorable experience, combining the beautiful floral arrangements of Edwin Otero Floral Design with great musical selections, excellent staff, and a menu to please every palate. The prices are very reasonable, and there is a bring your own wine policy that adds to the restaurant's charm and affordability. The decor was designed by the Partners involved in the creation of the space, with each one adding their own touches and motifs to the wall sconces, artwork, tiling, and kitchen design.

La Casa is a place where you can go for a quick bite or sit for a while with a group of friends over savory treats for the senses, and they also have a wonderful catering menu. They work round the clock to insure that each dish is fresh to order, giving whatever is left at the end of the evening to the members of the community who are in need, and starting fresh every day with a new day's selections. Because of the personal care they take with every person and every order, no matter what you choose or when you go there, you'll find yourself feeling right at home.
