La Casa Restaurant & Grill — Restaurant in Elmbridge

I will be honest. I dont complain i just would like to give a feedback that someone review and make changes to restaurant. If you like a good quality food this is not the place to go to. Food was very disappointing. My friend had carbonara, she left 75% as it was very creamy and heavy. I had seafood pasta, asked for white wine sause, but i believe i had the same heavy creamy sause as my friend. Not sure if chef knows what white wine sause is. It was very heavy and not much sea food in it. They brought out finger bowl what was nice but only like 2-3 muscles so no point. Had tiramisu, it was ok but Lidl one for £2 is better. It was again creamy i dont think they used much cascarpone. Possibly due to cost. I dont mind paying more for food but i do accept that when you pay more they use more quality ingredients. They should definitely review their menu and food/chef. Too big portions too, i would increase quality and decrease ammount. I also was not sure why they have more staff there then guess. Older gentleman who i think was main waiter and seated people, seated us showed us special menu read it out and we had other two coming to us. The older gentleman went around the tables when food came, but never asked if the food is good if everything is ok, what i believe is his job. Maybe worried about feedback. Would you not ask if it is your bussiness why your guess left 75% of their meal? I was in this restaurant years ago and came back yesterday i dont think the restaurant changed much. Also the sealing light look like from 80ties. I know you may say it may just have this italian look, but come on, they need to try harder for that. I wish the restaurant all the best but i definitely wont return. For prices they charge: food, service and environment not the best. Also it was disappointing to see chef and older gentleman smoking at the back in uniform. Chef being on the phone in restaurant while working. You really need to think about your restaurant if you want to be good. Gordon Ramsay would definitely close you down on the night!

The bread, olive and olive oil what you put down when someone walks in and sit down? And they you put it on charge. Nice gesture but quality of olives and fresh bread would be nice. Also noone asked if someone had allergies? Our order also went to wrong table, it was not even busy. After we ordered starter and main, they removed and changed cutlery, but they done that wrong. They added spoon and removed fork not knife. My starter was squid so i used main meal fork and knife and was left with starter knife and spoon, so needed to ask for fork. Squid was also only ok! Probably frozen deep fry 3 mins job. One little tater sause and chilli sause. Seasoning would be nice to review and rid of that chilly sause. I left 15% tip but if was not for good food, it was as i felt sorry for staff and people who are under kind of communist management. Noone wants to make change, this is how we done it for many years this is how we continue do it. Save yourself guys you could be an outstanding place....

I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Casa in Weybridge, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. Located at 2 Monument Hill, the restaurant exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for both casual meals and special occasions. 

Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the elegant yet cozy interior. The staff greeted us warmly and guided us to our table with genuine hospitality. Their attentiveness throughout the evening enhanced our dining experience significantly.

The menu offers a diverse selection of traditional Italian dishes with a modern twist. For starters, I opted for the Burrata con San Daniele e Pane Guttiau, which featured creamy mozzarella paired with Parma ham and Sardinian flatbread—a delightful combination of flavors and textures. My companion chose the Calamari alla Zio Pietro, a signature dish comprising squid with garlic, capers, olives, and tomato sauce served on toasted ciabatta; it was both flavorful and satisfying.  

For the main course, I selected the Filetto ai Funghi Selvatici, a mature fillet steak in a wild mushroom jus. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender and rich in flavor, complemented beautifully by the earthy mushroom sauce. My companion enjoyed the Coda di Rospo alla Provinciale, monkfish prepared with herbs, white wine, garlic, and tomato sauce, accompanied by saffron risotto. The fish was fresh and the risotto creamy, making for a harmonious dish. 

The wine list is extensive, featuring a well-curated selection that pairs excellently with the menu offerings. We chose a bottle of Italian red wine that enhanced our meal without overpowering the flavors.

Dessert was a highlight; the Tiramisu was light, creamy, and had just the right balance of coffee and cocoa. It provided a sweet conclusion to our meal without being overly heavy.

Overall, La Casa offers an authentic Italian dining experience with high-quality dishes, attentive service, and a welcoming ambiance. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Weybridge, I highly recommend visiting La Casa for a...

I phoned to book at 5pm asking for a table for 2 at 7pm on the same night. They said they could only do 8.30, so I thought fair enough, it's short notice, but I don't want to eat that late so I said no thanks. Suddenly they could do 7.30, so I said yes but they hung up before taking my name. Ok I thought shouldn't be a problem if they have written down a booking. We arrived just before 7.30 and there were a couple of tables already free (a 2 and a 4) and a couple more about to come free. We were told to wait at the bar while they got a table ready. We got a glass of wine. 20mins later a family came in and same for them, so they came and we all squeezed around the busy tiny bar where the till is. Only thing is, they got a table 5 mins later and we still had to wait. We were about to leave when another table came free and we were taken to it after 30mins standing by a tiny bar in the corner watching everyone eat. Before I could sit down the waitress (who's voice I recognised from the phone) told me that I must have phoned the wrong restaurant to make the booking because she had spoken to the others and nobody remembered taking a phone booking 2 hours ago and of course they would have taken a name. I must have been mistaken. My fault. I checked my phone and there was their number called at 5.11. She even brought their business card to make her point!

Anyway it was our date night and I didn't want to make a scene even if the waitress did. So we sat down and ordered. The chefs special tempura prawns could well have been Morrissons frozen ones. My mushroom starter was very good. The monkfish main was not good at all. It was dry and chewy, again like it had been frozen for months. My Carbonara was average at best.

Needless to say I didn't tip. We just left and will never return. Better food and service is available at high...
