Casa Antica — Restaurant in Heiligenblut am Großglockner

Ordered carryout from Di Casa, and the “Inferno Mortale” pizza does not disappoint! 🥵🥵🥵

The menu lists it after “Vulcano (hot),” “Vesuvio (very hot).” The Inferno Mortale is described as “inedibly hot,” and, if you order it, the staff will warn you that it is so, and that it is not a joke.

I ordered it anyway. I have a high tolerance for spicy food, and in ten years living in Austria, I have yet to encounter any food, even in Indian restaurants, that provides an exhilarating level of spicy heat. My family ordered three other kinds of pizza which were all very good. I ate one bite of mine, with everyone watching.

The jalapeños on it are the least of your worries. The not-so-secret sauce is the olive oil infused with Carolina Reaper peppers. That first bite started very nice, with heat that built and built and never stopped. Big sip of cold water. By the second bite, my face was red and my wife said she could tell how hot it was by the way I was chewing it - as if I could somehow keep it from touching the inside of my mouth. I finished the first piece (this is restaurant pizza, meant for one or two people, so the pieces aren’t large) with just water. The second piece required some milk to absorb the heat (I even added some cream I had on hand). I couldn’t eat a third piece. I consider this to be a challenge I was unable to meet, and no failing on the restaurant. In fact, I applaud them for putting something so unique on the menu. Bravo!

I hope you enjoy their pizza if you come to the beautiful Heiligenblut, and if you want a real challenge that will entertain your companions, try the Inferno Mortale. For myself, next time I will try...

Absolutely Divine Tiramisu!

I had the pleasure of visiting Casa Antica in Heiligenblut, Austria, and I can honestly say I experienced the best tiramisu of my life. From the very first bite, it was clear that this dessert was something special – perfectly balanced, incredibly fresh, and made with real care and passion. The mascarpone was rich and silky, the espresso-soaked ladyfingers were just the right texture, and the dusting of cocoa on top added the perfect finish. It wasn’t just a dessert, it was an experience.

The ambiance of Casa Antica only elevated the moment – warm, welcoming, and full of charm. If you're anywhere near Heiligenblut, do yourself a favor and try the tiramisu here. It’s...

Ak však zoberieme do úvahy lokalitu, treba upozorniť na veľmi obmedzené možnosti stravovania. Reštaurácie sú tu v sezóne často plne obsadené, a ak chcete večerať, je nevyhnutné rezervovať si miesto vopred.

Osobitne by som neodporúčal navštíviť pizzeriu Casa Antica, ktorá sa nachádza neďaleko. Naša skúsenosť s týmto zariadením bola veľmi sklamaním. Prvý večer nám oznámili, že všetky stoly sú obsadené, aj keď niekoľko stolov bolo viditeľne voľných. Rezervovali sme si miesto na nasledujúci večer len preto, aby sme si mohli dať pizzu a šalát. Na obsluhu v angličtine sme narazili len pri jednej čašníčke, ktorá nás nakoniec usadila vedľa toaliet, hoci voľné stoly boli aj na lepších miestach. Celý zážitok bol skutočne nepríjemný a vyvolával dojem, že tam nie ste vítaní.

Preto odporúčam v sezóne starostlivo plánovať večere, rezervovať si stoly vopred a prečítať si recenzie na reštaurácie.

Prajem vám krásny pobyt a dobrú chuť! ......

Ich würde besonders davon abraten, die Pizzeria Casa Antica in der Nähe zu besuchen. Unsere Erfahrung dort war äußerst enttäuschend. Am ersten Abend wurde uns gesagt, dass alle Tische besetzt seien, obwohl sichtbar einige frei waren. Wir mussten für den nächsten Abend reservieren, nur um eine Pizza und einen Salat zu essen. Nur eine Kellnerin sprach Englisch, und sie setzte uns schließlich direkt neben die Toiletten, obwohl es auch an besseren Plätzen freie Tische gab. Insgesamt war die Erfahrung sehr unangenehm und erweckte den Eindruck, dass man dort nicht willkommen ist.

Daher empfehle ich, während der Saison Ihre Abendessen sorgfältig zu planen, rechtzeitig Tische zu reservieren und Bewertungen der Restaurants zu lesen.

Ich wünsche Ihnen einen schönen Aufenthalt und...
