Dear Michael and John--

Thank you for a fantastic evening of entertainment last night at Casa Calamari. You made "A Christmas Wonderland" just that. We were amazed by the quality of the show, and the fact that we got in the door, given the town-size crowd in attendance. First-rate gentlemen. First-rate. You cats, and Casa Calamari rock.


Love,

Casa Calamari
1801 Bath Ave. at 18th Avenue, (718) 234-7060, www.casacalamari.biz, (AmEx, Disc, MC, Visa) Entrees: $8-$22.50.
Since opening its doors to Brooklyn in 1995, Casa Calamari has been known to “satisfy all its patrons” waiter John Lahara told GO Brooklyn. They will have your mouth salivating with their anchovy and grilled chicken brick oven pizza for only $7! But owner Rocco Loccisano’s menu recommends the “rigatoni filetto di pomodoro,” in which their rigatoni is topped with a fine tomato sauce made with prosciutto and onion. Then finish your meal with Rosie Varela’s homemade tiramisu. But wait! Casa Calamari offers more: it boasts free live entertainment every Saturday. DJ Mike will have you burning off those calories with his impersonations of “Cuban Pete,” “I Love Lucy” and much much more! Open daily for lunch and dinner.
 

Holiday Party 2005 Morgan Stanley New Jersey

Thank you very much, you were absolutely wonderful, praises are coming in from all who attended, everyone had a great, fun-filled evening.

The one "complaint" I've heard is that you were soooooooo good, people danced their feet off, many people walking around a little unusual this day.

Again, you and John were terrific, sincere gratitude to both of you, look forward to seeing you at many functions. Wishing you all the best for this Holiday Season.

Sincerely,

Doris Hart (Morgan Stanley)

 

Dear Michael / Cuban Pete                                                     

 My family and myself saw your performance at Casa Calamari in Brooklyn on Saturday 3/18/2006 for HOLLYWOOD NIGHT and it was just AWESOME !.  We have been going to Casa Calamari for the past 5 years or more and had gotten to know the owner and his close knit worker's as well.  The food their is the best, so for our daughter's birthday we thought we would celebrate it their..

Jo-Jo thought she was just going to have dinner and go home that night, What we all didn't know was that you were performing their, so when we started to watch your show, we really got taken in by you.  As your night was going strong, ours was coming close to an end, so my husband decided before we left he was going to set up the birthday theme for Jo-Jo, She was enjoying her meal and watching your performance  until you stopped everything and announced her name and started to sing the happy birthday song to her as well as everyone else along with the cake and lit candle.

She was for once speechless. I think she was in shock for a few seconds.. 

I'm glad with the help from you and everyone else, that night will forever be memorable for her.. (It's been a long time since she had an entertainer and audience sing to her -happy birthday)

You had made her such a part of your show after that scene That she will never forget her 17th birthday at Casa Calamari restaurant.  You had made her feel so special and the attention you personally gave her that she will never forget you as well as the rest of us...  She had such a blast with you, that she has told all her friends about you.

Jo-Jo loved the oompa-loopa costume as well as Cuban Pete.. She loves those movies and that just added to a wonderful night she was having as well as singing along to the music..  Michael (Cuban Pete) I want to thank you personally for making her feel special that night and for a wonderful performance.. Not only did we all have such a great meal, but the entertainer (You) was perfect too... I myself loved your choice of music, you had brought back lot's of great memories for me. Your humor and personality show's you have much character and you really don't need any advice from anyone when it concerns your entertainment performances..  Keep up the good work. You truly are blessed with much talent..

 Thank you again..

Hooray For Hollywood Night 2009

Hello, this is Elyse, your cancellation person.  Did not get a chance to talk to you Michael on the way out, The show tonight was wonderful, really enjoyed it and had a great time and have to tell you that in these rough times financially and otherwise and we are going through some rough times now, you bring entertainment and laughter and just fun into people’s lives.  You get everyone into the act even the older people.  Have been to many of your things over the last few years and really enjoyed you but usually keep a low profile because my aunt is usually with us and she is very shy and reserved and keeps a low profile, she feels uncomfortable when people at a nearby table start talking to us, but tonight she was home and I would have liked to speak to you, got a chance for a few minutes to speak to your partner, John, forgive me if I am getting his name wrong, he remembered my name, shame on me.  But since I found out about your website when I needed to call for cancellation reservation I realized I could write you.  Just had such a fun time had to tell you about it and if anybody ever asks me about recommending someone for an occasion I ABSOLUTELY will send them to you website.  Also loved hearing the story about you two being together for fourteen years, cannot think of anyone I know together so long, which is sad.  Casa Calamari is for sure one of our favorite spots.  Will see you May 9 and again just had to let you know how much we enjoyed you and also had to thank you for getting back to me so quickly when you had a cancellation for this show.  Am so glad that I did not miss it, very uplifting evening.   Elyse Karnes -

Seen you for the first time at St. Finbar's New Year's Eve Party, you were great.   I am the President of a women's auxiliary of the Knights of
Columbus, and I will pass the word on how wonderful you were.    I want to plan a party just so I can book you as a DJ.    Best of Luck to you and I hope to see you again soon.
