Giuseppe came to America with the Italian Navy in 1967 and returned to stay in 1973, settling in Newark, Delaware to open La Casa Pasta in 1978.
Since then, he has made it his goal to serve only the most authentic Northern and Southern Italian foods. Each year, he travels back to his homeland and beyond to learn new recipes and import ingredients not to be found in the states.

The service was fantastic as was the ambiance. Unfortunately the beef soup my husband ordered and the crab stuffed flounder special I ordered were barely warm. We took the soup home and sent the flounder back. By the time I was re-served the flounder special my husband had finished his shrimp scampi entree (which was hot and delicious) so dinner wasn’t as romantic as we would have hoped. We’ll go back because the food is good, but we won’t ever order any specials so we’re not stuck with lukewarm food.

Their "sauce/gravy was far from the best. In fact, terrible. Overcharged for my meal. There were such little pieces of crab that got lost in the pasta. I could hardly taste them. Yet, I was overcharged. Since I was able to request just pasta & crab instead of the entree that came with crab, shrimp, and (clams, I think) We had been there some years ago. The woman at the podium was miserable. The food was ok. But we decided to try them 1 more time. This time, the girl at the podium was pleasant and welcoming. The staff as well. Sorry to say. But we won't ever be back.

Lasagna. Said to have meat and sausage. Who in earth uses link sausage slices in lasagna….should be sausage chunk or crumbles. Was warm at best. Ask to substitute the lemonade splash in a drink …that means add something else…at all costs. Instead, the give the drink half full and no substitute. We would’ve paid for the substitute… Shrimp and scallops in a pasta dish were both well over cooked and very rubbery.

The restaurant is undergoing some renovations at this time. Bar is not open and the side rooms have little or no windows. Martini glasses not available and they do not offer Happy Hour while undergoing renovations. :( There were 4 of us who dined and all food was very good. I love the 1/2 portion options on 3 dishes; wish there were more! Our server, Kara, was AWESOME! Very attentive, helpful and also witty! We wanted her to join us for conversation! We will be back to see the new bar and dining room when renovations are completed.
La Casa PastaResponded on August 2, 2023
Hi Lynn, I'm glad you enjoyed Kara's presence during your visit. I will make sure she reads it. I'm sure it will definitely make her day! Yes, we are doing some great looking renovations, and will be revamping the happy hour as well. The no martini glasses comment struck me however, so I am reaching out to my entire team as to why? We have the glasses behind our temporary bar in the back; so I'm sorry that your drink was not presented appropriately. I am correcting that immediately.

My wife and I visited La Casa Pasta from Bel Air, MD for our anniversary. Your photo of Tagliolini & Clams with white sauce attracted my wife. This is her favorite dish when prepared as you make it. Unfortunately, the server did not hear her say white and delivered red sauce. This was rectified in a very rapid manner and she was given her correct order. Very excellent turnaround on the mistake! I had the Mostaccioli Pasesano and it was excellent. A 45-minute drive was nothing for this jewel of a famiglia Italian spot.

Thank you for choosing us to celebrate your special day, even with a 45 minute drive to get to us! We are glad we were able to make your anniversary memorable for you and your wife, and we wish you many more happy and prosperous years to come. We hope to see you again real soon.

Thank you La Casta Pasta Our reservation for a party of 9 grew to 11 the day prior and to 17 the morning of. The staff took the twist in hand and placed us in a private room with 2 assigned servers. The setting was perfect for this larger than expected family reunion. Full menu selection was allowed, so every one was able to get what they wanted. The party included 1 high chair, 3 pre-teens, 4 seniors citizens and 9 adults. The staff was diligent with drinks, appetizers, meal ordering and service then were gone to allow us to have a wonderful reunion dinner. Great job by a great house.

Sorry, I have to speak up - Ordinarily I don't pan restaurants, but this experience was so poor, I had to comment. It has been some time since we visited La Casa Pasta and in the past have always had an OK experience, but not so in this case. Service - Service was disjointed and extremely slow. The waitress seemed to be in a hurry to get our orders, but once they were placed, we almost never saw her. Even the water boy never came by. One pet peeve of mine is when patrons who are seated well after us receive their meals before ours, which occurred on this occasion. We didn't have a huge group, 7, and did not order anything complicated. When our food finally arrived, the waitress explained that the were short in the kitchen. However, the food was tepid to cool and had obviously been sitting for a while. Food - the food was tasty, but would have tasted better had it been hot. This was across the board from the chicken to the veal to the lasagna. Two ordered "orange sorbet" for dessert which was frozen like a rock making it almost impossible to eat. Special occasion, not so special - what made matters worse, it was a birthday celebration with out of town visitors which made it a memorable experience for all the wrong reasons. I don't know what happened, but I am a local and will not be back.

Chesapeake Inn suggested this location when all reservations were taken. The appetizers were delicious, the cheese ample, but the veal was very tough and the lemon chicken was tough. Service was exceptional.

The food was delicious from appetizer to dessert! Their home made pastas are fantastic. Also my seafood dish was so fresh and the sauce on the pasta was perfect!!

This was our first visit to La Casa Pasta. It was for a graduation celebration. The seating was early/on time and the ambiance was very nice. Our food was wonderful. We will definitely be returning!
