Casa Orinda has been serving the finest Western and Italian food in the area for the past 84 years. We are famous for our fried chicken, prime beef, and classic Italian pasta, chicken, and veal dishes -- everything being made from scratch in our kitchen using only the freshest, highest quality ingredients.

Our full service mahogany bar is a popular stop for locals and visitors looking for a nice refreshment and a hearty meal in a cozy, friendly atmosphere. We have three dining rooms, each with a slightly different character afforded by our hand-formed brass hearth fireplace, Western original art collection, famous antique gun collection, and alluring floral arrangements.

my date and i’s experience was incredible from walking in we felt so comfy. It was a little too dark for my weak eyes but it still helped with romance vibe very much AND the fireplace was so gorg, we really felt the vibe!! The service was also so top notch, everyone was so accommodating, and even beyond so! We never felt like we were being left behind, everyone made us feel so comfortable and special! Complimentary vallet was a nice touch too! We didn’t have to worry about parking, and I didn’t have to worry about adding a surprise cake for my date at the end, they got back to me right away with enthusiasm and no cake fees! We also had to move our reservation up super super last minute which they were very transparent about the uncertainty of guaranteeing they could, which I appreciated! They allowed us to move our res up and from even before (even outside the restaurant before going in) start to finish it was such an incredible experience, we will be back again!! The food was also so incredible and at a reasonable price compared to other places!!

We have dined at Casa Orinda’s since 1984….guess that’s 40 years. The food is always very good.| realized I had never ordered the cannelloni appetizer . I was excellent. No surprise. My husband orders the fried chicken. A Casa staple. There is no better. I got the eggplant parmigiana and always enjoy it. There are no bad choices. Our server tonight was Marty along with many others who clear and refill glasses. The staff and team are always attentive, professional and kind. Thank goodness Casa maintains the quality and excellent dining experience.

"Casa Orinda" has been our favorite "go to" for many decades. The staff and service is exceptional, and there's not a dud on the menu... it's all good! Pretty sure it's the "go to" for many as it's ALWAYS busy! Give Casa O a shot... you won't be disappointed!
