About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
La Casita boasts a relaxed and welcoming ambience. Set in its Carbis Bay location, this family-run restaurant is incredibly vibrant and has a close team of exceptionally friendly staff.
We invite you to join us at the bar for a pre-dinner gin tonic a fino or cocktail. Relax on the terrace with a glass of fine wine sourced from small boutique vineyards in Spain and Europe. Alternatively, we have some superb Cornish and European beers and ciders on offer.
The finest fresh ingredients are meticulously sourced both locally and from Spain. This is at the heart of La Casita's menu which features paella, pizza, chargrilled meats & local seafood, vegetarian & vegan dishes. Our specials change regularly and we have a great selection on our tapas menu.
Children are welcome and have their own menu with a great selection of dishes.

    Lovely staff, welcoming restaurant. Authentic Spanish food but with a great pizza offering along side, therefore can cater to all tastes. Will definitely return and recommend to others.

    The food was astounding. I’ll be thinking of those chilli and lime shrimp and the chargrilled steak for the foreseeable future. Also the staff was amazing. The place was packed but with just two of them they left no one without great service. Loved it!
