Available Mondays through Fridays between noon and 3 p.m., the lunch includes a choice of a salad or soup and a main course of one of the following: Penne Bolognese, Spaghetti Aglio e Olio (spaghetti with olive oil and garlic sauce), Capelline al Pomodoro (angel hair pasta with tomato and basil sauce), Rigatoni alla Melanzane (rigatoni with eggplant, tomatoes and dry ricotta), pizza Margherita, pizza Diavola (tomatoes, mozzarella and spicy salami), pizza Marinaia (sauce and garlic, no cheese), Caesar Salad with Chicken Pilliard or Fried Filet of Sole with Fries. “In Italy, we make the most of our lunch break. We don’t believe in rushing through it, eating a sandwich at your desk, answering phones and sending emails” said Gianni Onofri, the restaurant’s general manager. “At Cascina, we pride ourselves in offering an authentic Italian dining experience. We want our guests to come in, sit down and relax while enjoying a satisfying, affordable lunch.”  Located at 647 Ninth Avenue near the corner of W. 45th Street, Cascina Ristorante is well-known for its traditional Italian country-style food and extensive award-winning wine list (2007 and 2008 Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast awards). The restaurant’s menu changes seasonally to showcase that season’s choice ingredients prepared with traditional Italian technique. The restaurant’s cozy décor of heavy wooden tables, oversized wine racks, lush red-colored walls, antique iron chandeliers, and a stone oven used to bake Cascina’s signature pizzas and breads, is reminiscent of a homey Italian kitchen found in the rolling vineyards of Italy. Lunch and dinner specials are served daily, along with a bar menu and a pre-theater prix-fixe dinner. Private party rooms and off-site catering are available.
