La Casa Ristorante — Restaurant in Ontario

On July 2, 2015 My Husband, my Daughter who was visiting from Alberta, and I, were looking for a Restaurant that served Authentic Italian Cuisine. We wanted home made pasta and meatballs, gnochi and anything really made from scratch at the restaurant.

My daughter and I both grew up and lived in Sault Ste. Marie, ON. where there are many wonderful Italian cooks, some of these women were friends and they shared recipes over the years There are also a few wonderful Authentic Restaurants. Some make their own pasta etc.

I found La Casa on the Internet and telephoned to ask about their menu. I was told that indeed their pasta was genuine home made and that their meatball was a recipe from One of the owners Mothers.

We ventured to La Casa and were very warmly greeted by the genlemen there. We were served promptly and professionally and to our delight a bit of humour. It was a wonderful experience both food wise and personally. I have not had such a wonderful meal and great service in a very long time. Even the bread that was served was absolutely delicious.

We have tried many restaurants since moving to the area in 2006, I would rather cook myself than go to a restaurant and pay a fortune for a meal that is not up to par. This restaurant fills the bill for us and we are happy to go back again.

The only problem we encountered was dessert. My daughter and I shared an Italian Lemon Meringue Tart. The crust was extremely hard and we could not cut it. The lemon filling was sparse and the Meringue was not meringue. It was just a bit of eggwhite beaten a bit.

This month ; July, my husband is celebrating his 80th birthday and our friend Patricia is also celebrating her birthday. Our friends Mary,& Pat, ny husband and I have reservations for La Casa. In my estimation it is the best all around restaurant to go for a wonderful meal. In the event that you have not tried it you are missing a great eating experience. Thank you LaCasa for your graciousness and Mama for your wonderful meatballs, the chicken and gnocci were wonderful also as were the other entrees and appetizers we ate.

Most sincerely. The Hiscock and...

Before heading off to see the Doobie Brothers concert we stopped by La Casa Ristorante on King Street across from Budweiser Gardens last night for dinner and we were delighted with our experience!

We had visited La Casa last year around the same time to a mostly quiet restaurant and had received such rude service from our waitress that we had not returned. This time around we were unable to make a reservation at our preferred dining spot and decided to give La Casa a second chance and we were glad we did! To our shock the restaurant was packed to the rafters! We noticed the dining space had received some much needed updates to its interior and the changes were lovely!

Our waiter provided excellent service and we were very pleased with his food recommendations and wine pairings to accompany it. He was very attentive to our needs throughout our visit. A significant change from the service we had received a year prior.

We were pleasantly surprised to hear from him that the restaurant fell under new ownership a few months ago and that Lunch had been introduced with a Late Night Menu also in the planning.

My husband had the Angel Hair Pasta and I had the Chicken Carbonara both of which were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Although we normally expect portions at an Italian restaurant to be above average in plentifullnes we were not disappointed by the portion size of our serving - nonetheless a slightly bigger portion would not have done any harm given the cost of the meal.

Overall our experience this second time around was vastly improved from the first, particularly because of the service and attention provided by our waiter. Thank you!

We will definitely be coming back for a lunch and late night visit at our earliest...

It's a total vibe! LaCasa Ristorante on King, right next to Covent Garden Market, is an absolute gem that you have to experience. From the moment you step in, you're enveloped in an atmosphere that's just electric – the perfect blend of sophisticated and lively, with music that sets the ideal backdrop for an unforgettable meal. I had the New York Steak, and let me tell you, it was cooked to perfection – tender, flavourful, and utterly satisfying. My BFF went for the Jambalaya Risotto, and the rich, complex flavours had them raving with every bite. The menu here is clearly crafted with passion, offering dishes that are both comforting and exciting. But beyond the incredible food and ambiance, what truly elevates LaCasa is the service, especially from Darlyne. She's not just a server; she's a staple, an unforgettable personality who makes you feel like family from the moment you arrive. Dar's attentiveness, wit, and genuine warmth add an extra layer of enjoyment to the entire dining experience. She anticipates your needs and makes sure every detail is perfect, all with a smile and a charisma that truly sets him apart. Seriously, this place is a 10 out of 10 for the vibe, the music, and the food. If you're looking for an evening that's more than just a meal – an experience filled with fantastic food, great company, and service that goes above and beyond – then LaCasa Ristorante is where you need to be. Go, and ask for Dar – you...
