Customer Review Summary
Pizza is the draw reviewers raise most, with several calling it delicious, fresh and perfectly cooked, and one noting the house wine was pleasant alongside it. Opinion splits, though: two diners found the pizza average, describing it as too salty, or both dry and too oily, and one said the tiramisu was worse than a store-bought one. Close behind, the spaghetti Bolognese and beef burger earn praise from one reviewer, while the same diner found the calamari a little chewy and the seafood linguine a little bland. Service is described as friendly, efficient and accommodating, and food is said to arrive quickly even when several tables sit at once. Reviewers also mention the small dining room with limited tables, and one solo diner felt rushed when chairs were already on the tables at closing time after paying. Birthday celebrations come up twice, with a candle-topped dessert in one review and a cake brought in with the birthday song played through the speakers in another.

“We had a great lunch today at La Casetta 3 tables came in at pretty much the same time but service wasn't slow, the food was nice and they even provided a little dessert with a candle for my birthday! I would definitely visit again and recommend. Great atmosphere.”
