I’ve been going to Encasa for years. It’s consistently great food and equally great friendly service. The garlic prawns are a speciality.

A great location and very well made pizza and pasta. The salads were delicious, although a bit pricey at almost $30, including protein. Excellent wine list with some good value bottles. Beer was nice and chilly.
