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.

"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!
