Casa Mia Osteria is fantastic. It has a neighbourhood, family feel about it, with super friendly staff. Sean and his team were so welcoming and made as feel like we were at a family dinner. The food is fantastic, great considered menu - the spicy pepperoni pizza and the ragu pasta were hits! The prawn pasta has a good amount of heat and rich flavour. All of the dishes were excellent. Solid cocktails, reasonable prices and all round good vibes. Perfect for groups as the atmosphere is lively.
