Casa Italia Restaurant

It’s an intimate family run restaurant and we ate there three times in one week because the food was so delicious. Claudia, one of the owners came right over and explained that they can serve gluten free pasta, but it takes a few minutes for them to boil a fresh pot of water, they get it! They sautéed calamari rather than frying it for us. They served veal piccata over risotto one evening rather than pasta. The next time we went they put the water on right away for the pasta. One night we brought our own rolls to enjoy the seafood dish with the delicious sauce. My husband has celiac and he was not sick at all! Although they do not have a specific gluten free menu they are very knowledgeable about the ingredients in all their menu items. We ate there two years ago on our last trip to the area, and we will keep returning! We feel very comfortable about recommending them whole heartedly.

Fabulous dinner! Our server Alexander was amazing. I had the gluten free pasta with meat sauce. Called 4 places before finding one that had GF meat sauce. We also had a Caesar salad with it which was very good - recommended by Alexander of course. Server was great about acknowledging the GF items when putting them on the table and noting what was not GF. I so appreciate having a server that understands and respects the gluten allergy. Small place but very comfortable. Not freezing inside so they was nice as well. I did not ask for a GF menu because we called ahead and I knew what I wanted when we got there. But he also recommended other GF items even though I told him I knew what I wanted - just to make sure I didn’t change my mind. Will definitely dine here again.
