La
Casa Rosa - In 1858 a private home, opened as La Casa Rosa in 1935, Discovered
by Holiday in 1961. The Pink House (it really
is) has always been favored by the discerning. A simple gourmet luncheon from
the original recipes, charming nostalgic surroundings, an open courtyard, and
enticing food specialties to take along or have mailed. Charlie Shockey
acquired from the family in 1973 and is happily following the founders
precepts.
Serving
a generous salad of local Lettuce and fresh herb dressing, local baked rolls,
your choice of the Old California Casserole, New California Casserole, or
Chicken Soufflé at $14.95. The Old California Casserole and the New California
Casserole both have a corn based embodied with cheese and beef sauce, the only
difference is that the Old California Casserole is made with sharp cheddar
cheese where as the New California Casserole has Monterey Jack cheese and
chopped green chilies. The Chicken Soufflé is heartier than its name, with
batter bread topping. Desserts, a la carte. We suggest that for $6.75 you order
a carafe Ash Blonde, a chilled aperitif wine blended two parts dry French and
one part Italian filtered through charcoal - quite impressive. You are invited
