Al Casale Ristorante

We went here for my birthday supper. The atmosphere was perfect… cozy with no hustle and bustle of a busy chain restaurant. We started with the grilled calamari… perfection! The seafood risotto was also incredible. I have food allergies and the staff was able to meet my needs without making me feel like I was an inconvenience. I am looking forward to coming here again.

Don’t know what all these negative reviews are about. Had my birthday dinner there on Friday evening. Food and service was excellent. Prices are totally reasonable. Can’t wait to go again!

Al casale’s serves very well made dishes. I wouldnt reccomend going on day like valetines though (they cook few options in large quantities.) however i have never been dissapointed here. Wonderful pastas, great apps and a very reasonable price.

Decided to take a trek up to this place last night with the boyfriend. We drove up Leslie and its actually quite a nice drive when you get past Richmond Hill — it reminded me of a drive in the country — winding tree sided roads
Al Casale is a 200 year old farmhouse that was converted into a restaurant. I always like house conversions. Eating in little rooms makes it warm, cozy and intimate.
We started out with calamari which was done nicely — very lightly fried and fresh with a nice dipping sauce. I had the fettucini with chicken and sun dried tomato. Very nice. My bf had the Linguine Di Mare. I tried it and the sauce was really good — not too oily and the seafood was really fresh. We had wanted the as advertised ‘famous’ tiramisu but sadly, they ran out by the time we ordered (people in the subburbs eat dinner earlier I guess). The cheap $ 6 glasses of decent house wine made up for it though!
I’d recommend anyone who has parents in the northern subburbs and are visiting, or if you happen to live in the northern subburbs, to take the time to try this place. It was a nice, pleasant meal and it was almost like a mini get-​away. Worth the trip!
