Wigston Casa Nostra Restaurant — Restaurant in Oadby and Wigston

They say some food puts you in the mood to get wed. Everything about this place wants me to get divorced.

The staff were useless, took several times for them to ask for our order and drinks. The staff (must've only been about 3 total, with the combined effort of 1 and a half) kept making themselves look busy without doing anything useful. I asked several times for the bill, to no avail. When we eventually decided to get up and find a manager for our bill (as by this point, it was clear they weren't interested in helping us) - a horrifically rude member of staff had the audacity to accuse us of stealing! I cannot recommend more strongly enough that no-one ever goes back here unless they're breaking up with someone, in which case it's the perfect place.

Not only was the service terrible, but the food was also almost inedible! Mèrda, what they claimed to be an authentic Italian pizza barely constituted more than a cardboard circle with tomato ketchup on, bunged in a microwave for 30 seconds. Don't be fooled by their claims of authenticity or use of a pizza oven when the food we got, I wouldn't even give to my dog. I don't know how on earth they've managed to stay afloat when the food they sell, one could get from Sainsbury's for a tenner, yet they charge around £60 each for what you would think is a normal portioned not-too-fancy meal.

Drinks - don't bother. Bring a water bottle and fill it up with anything from a local shop. You'll have a wider selection of drinks and beverages from the Gregg's across the road.

I hope the management and owners of this place read these reviews and turn this place around. It has so much potential (well, as much potential as you can get for being in Wigston) and it's apparent that this place is nothing more than a money-laundering business or tax write-off. If they hired more (or at least competent) staff or gave staff more training, it could really turn this place around. Sadly, for me, I think this place is...

In Italian, “Casa Nostra” translates to “our home” well if your home is a poorly decorated, overpriced, fake italian in an uninspiring location then there we go.

Where anywhere gets off charging the awful prices for food and alcohol as this place does, I don’t know. The beer selection is awful and shockingly expensive for a small bottle (they don’t have beer on draught), and the cocktail menu is less than basic. Wine list is okay I guess.

The food was not great, at all. It wasn’t presented like authentic Italian and it sure did not taste like it. I’ve summered in Italy on numerous occasions by the way, so I’d know. And if they’re using a proper pizza oven, whoever works in the kitchen should probably brush up on how to use it as my pizza was very undercooked and didn’t really have a taste to it in all honesty.

The service was nothing more than average, staff seemed busy but service as a whole was slow and a period of around 40 minutes elapsed between asking for my bill and finally receiving it.

The interior design of the restaurant is tacky and ostentatious; the acoustics merge poorly with the seating plan and you’re lucky if you can hear your dining party or the staff over the droning ambience of Wigston Casa Nostra Restaurant.

In conclusion, not worth a visit and certainly not worth the price charged. I regret that Google doesn’t allow zero star reviews because that is what me and my dinner party think this...

The food for my mother and son was good, I would say mine was below average. It took them 3 times to get my order right and by the time they had took it back and forwards the potatoes and sauce were cold. I didn’t want the chips or broccoli so had the new potatoes and leaf salad, but had to pay extra for these on top of the main course price. The leaf salad £4.95 was not worth it! It consisted of a bowl of leaf salad taken from a packet and a few pieces of cucumber cut up and put around the side. There is no atmosphere as everyone is crammed in and you can’t have a proper conversation because of the noise. We were put in the corner, separated from the rest of the restaurant by a planter so already we are on our own and felt isolated, and to top it all put on show in front of a massive window which was cold and when the door opened a massive draft came in, it was freezing. I had to put my son’a coat over my legs. May I suggest some thermal roller blinds that could be pulled down in the evenings. Thought it was too expensive for what we had, starters and mains. Thank god we didn’t have desserts and coffee as would have been at least £140 for 3. Not a very good first experience, and got the impression cramming people in to gain profit but not considering customer...
