They’re calling it “weirdo Italian” but the better watchwords are “fun” and “approachable”
As an adjective, “weird” is having a real moment. It’s an incisive term that draws strength from its vagueness: It means everything and nothing all at once. We’re now seeing it applied to countless real-world situations, but even so, a new restaurant describing its own menu as “weirdo” is a choice that feels, well, weird.
Stepping off of East Cesar Chavez Street and into Casa Bianca is an instantly soothing experience. The restaurant’s decor scheme focuses on bright, clean whites, natural wood tones, touches of mint green for vibrance, and attractive accents like a terrazzo bar top, arched doorways, and floods of sunlight. Nothing “weirdo” here – just a nicely neutral backdrop for dining, drinking, and Instagramming.
To be fair, Casa Bianca came up with their “weirdo Italian” catchphrase before “weird” turned into the word of the summer. But it undersells their menu, which is innovative, sophisticated, and playful.
