About Us

Since Eric Wonderling, Julie Wonderling, and Jeff Loeffler opened Casali’s in 2013, they've made a name for themselves thanks to their fresh, locally sourced ingredients, creative flavor infusions, exceptional menu and impeccable service.  Combining Italian and American heritage, with modern and homestyle culinary methods, the owners and professional staff have created a destination restaurant in downtown Saint Marys perfect for date night, a family dinner, a special event, or just watching the game with friends.  Casali’s won the prestigious “TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence” in 2017 and has regularly been voted one of the best restaurants in Elk County.  Voted “Best Italian” in 2017 and is a Finalist for “Best Italian”, “Best in Entertainment”-- (Best Bartender, Jeff Loeffler) in the tri-county area in 2018.

Casalis menu offerings include Italian inspired favorites like Mussels Diablo, Chicken Bacon Carbonara Ravioli, several parmesans, scampis and Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo.  American creations include the Ghost Popper Burger, award winning wings and homemade Jack Daniels BBQ sauce, many salads, wraps and more.  Many menu items include infusions of wines, beers, and spirits to put a twist on the traditional dining experience.  Casali's isn't a quick serve restaurant.  Its a place to meet with friends, coworkers,  and others.  Everything made here is cooked to order and Casali's has been microwave free since inception.  With its cozy and welcoming enviroment, you'll be happy to step out of the rat race and enjoy an afternoon or evening while dining or drinking.  Its more than a place to eat....Its a social gathering place.

Casali’s 2 bars offer one of the areas largest beer selections--usually more than 80 different styles of beer---including rare, limited release and hard to find selections.   Casali's proudly boasts the largest draft selection in the area with 24 different varieties of beer on tap. The service staff can always recommend a great local or mass market wine, beer, or moonshine to pair for your meal.  Casali’s has recently expanded to include a new local “Wine, Shine, and Brew Room” where you can shop for local wines and Chicken Hill Moonshine by the bottle for takeout and even try some of our Chocolate Moonshine Company products.  We also offer locally made honey and honey products from Tailgate Beekeepers and locally procured maple syrup courtesy of Whittman's Maple Syrup.  Walk-ins and reservations are always welcome.  Call or visit online to save a table or Order Online.  Casali's is the first establishment ever to offer an "express eat in" feature with our online ordering App.  If you need a quick breakfast or lunch, you can use our app to order and pay for your food.  We will tell you exactly when it will be ready and you can just come in, sit down, eat and get back to your life. We strongly recommend trying this feature if you have limited time to visit our establishment.  Since the style of our food requires longer cooking time than most other establishments, this is the perfect way for you to get a freshly prepared home-style meal without the long wait!
