Welcome

The faculty, staff and students of Schenectady County Community College invite you to join us for a gourmet meal in the Casola Dining Room. Our culinary arts students prepare each dish. Schenectady is just one of five colleges in NewYork State that is accredited by the American Culinary Federation Educational Institute. Both our culinary arts and hotel and restaurant management students provide the dining room service. These are the same students who may complete an Internship at Walt Disney World or Work at Church Hill Downs during the Kentucky Derby.

Since Spring of 1993, the Casola Dining Room has been serving gourmet meals to the patrons of the Capital Region of Upstate New York. The Casola Dining Room is open for business during the college school year, generally from the first week of October to the first week of December and from the last week in February to the first week in May. Reservations are required.

Menu selection and themes are changed weekly. In the fall semester, menus are themed for Regional American Cuisine. In the spring semester our students prepare International classics. Guests choose one appetizer, a main course and a dessert from the choices. Guests are encouraged to bring in their own wine to compliment the meal experience.

Guests will be participating and assisting the students in their education. All students are graded upon their skills in food preparation and service.

Please join us in the Casola Dining Room.
