 Casa Tua is a gorgeous stone Mediterranean-style beach house whose front gates open to a lush outdoor garden terrace of white linen-topped tables, and an indoor series of dining rooms decorated to make diners feel as though they're in the home of a good friend---assuming their friends are Martha Stewart and Ralph Lauren. Oft-changing menus showcase simple, sophisticated ingredients that typify the best of Italian cooking, such as an appetizer of deliciously moist burrata mozzarella cheese with six types of tomato. There are culinary missteps along the way, like a dry, too well-chilled carpaccio of red wine-marinated beef, but these are few and far between. Pastas prove consistently gratifying, none more so than pappardelle in a rich lamb ragu, as well as the most reasonably priced items on an expensive menu. Neatly dressed, unfussy seafood entrées satisfy as well, though our favorite main course consists of two boneless quails bathed in black truffle sauce and puffed with a stuffing of chopped veal, fresh sage and Parmesan. Casa Tua is defined by its utterly enchanting setting, but the quality food, professional service, and smart selection of Italian wines make this more than just another pretty facade.
