La Casetta, Italian Restaurant Scotland Neck — Restaurant in Scotland Neck

You only need one word to describe this restaurant and that is .........AWESOME!! My family and I were looking for somewhere to eat after leaving the bird park. Thing about it is I have celiac disease and sometimes it can be hard finding a place to eat at. So I go online and put in restaurant and near me and gluten free and La Casetta pops up first. I look over the information and other reviews and we decided that we would give it a try. The atmosphere was relaxing. The eating area was very neat and tidy. We were waited on within 5 minutes of walking in. The waitress was super nice and friendly. Now to the food. My husband had a personal meat lovers pizza, my daughter had cheese steak and fries , and I had a Gluten Free Cheese Pizza. Lets just say I would definitely drive a hour and 1/2 to get more of that pizza. The typical gluten free pizzas have a "different" taste. The crust normally doesn't taste like crust. BUT THIS pizza was perfect.My husband said his pizza was fantastic, he ate the whole pizza. My daughter said that the cheese steak was awesome. She said she didn't feel like she was eating grease and the bread was fresh. Bottom Line.....If you are in Scottland Neck NC and need something to eat, Stop here, you will...

I was really hoping to recommend this restaurant to others. I had been to the location at Bethel that is owned by the same family and absolutely loved it. But after the experience at this location, I would never recommend it to anyone. I'm not sure how this is as highly rated as people have recommend it. Our salads took 1.5 hrs to arrive at the table. The appetizer that arrived (calamari) was over cooked and dry and the bruchetta was under toasted and lacked flavor. The arrival of our meal after 2 hrs of being there was a huge disappointment. The only thing enjoyed was the pizza. The linguini pastoral was over cooked with the mussels being dry and clams being rubbery, the gnocchi was store bought and the shrimp added to the angel hair pasta was undercooked and still grey. When it was bought to the owners attention, his response was to argue with the customer and tell us how we were wrong. That "how could one be over cooked and the other be undercooked". We will never be returning to the location. Nor would I ever recommend it to anyone looking for a decent meal. Highly disappointed. Edit: my husband that ordered the gnocchi ended up with food poisoning so that says a lot about the quality of the home cooked food. Thanks for...

The pizza here is a standout—moist, delicious, and far from the usual overly sweet, cornmeal-coated slices you find elsewhere. The sauce is exceptionally tasty, with no hints of artificial sweetness or off-putting flavors. The crust strikes the perfect balance with a satisfying chew and rich flavor. Topped with a sprinkle of fresh basil, it's clear that each element was crafted with care and attention to detail.

The risotto exceeded expectations, especially considering the price. It was creamy in all the right places, with the rice maintaining a pleasing chew without any texture issues. The flavors were delicate and well-balanced, allowing me to enjoy the entire dish without feeling overwhelmed. It is truly a well-executed dish with no complaints.

Service was top-notch throughout our visit. The staff was attentive and genuinely pleasant, making the experience all the more enjoyable.

The atmosphere was clean and spacious, with plenty of room to move around. The decor was thoughtfully curated, and the addition of natural plants added a refreshing touch. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience that I would highly recommend.

I am looking forward to coming again and trying...
