I'm a huge fan of Casa and have been coming for over 20 years. I love to bring different groups of people with me, work colleagues, friends, etc and have had many of them fall in love after one visit too. Our visit this time was great once again. The staff couldn't be more attentive and helpful. My food and the food & drinks of most of us was great one again. The people who ordered penne dishes, like arrabiata and the casa italia signature dish didn't look as appetising and they left quite a lot of it but the al forno I had and the tomato garlic bread were as gorgeous as usual. Thanks. We will be back and will be sure to always order something covered in cheese!

Ok atmosphere with pleasant staff. Good prompt attention and food and drinks came within a reasonable time. Foot was nice and hot. I had the fish which was huge. My wife had the lamb and asked for it pink and it came pink. One niggle was when wanting to pay the bill and add a tip on my card Couldn’t add it to bill had to use a separate 'tip machine' which adds 38p to the tip. So you get charged to tip. Only 38p but niggled me.
