About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions

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.

    Our local restaurant. Just a short walk. Very good paella, tapas and fish - the hake is particularly good. Very friendly staff. Good atmosphere.

    We were group of 3 adults and 2 dogs, due to nature of my 2 rescue dogs we had booked table at start of evening hours (5pm) as busy/bustling hours would not have been ideal. Everything was lovely us - the staff were amazing and hospitable, service was quick and efficient, wide variety of food, good portions and all very nice. The cheese cake (we tried orange blossom honey option) is a must have!! We had seen restaurant starting to get busy just before 6, with drivers age group and some celebrating special occasions (there were balloons to suggest). Thank you for having us!

    We visited La Casita twice during our week long holiday at Carbis Bay, and both times thoroughly enjoyed the food. We shared several tapas dishes between the four of us and each dish was delicious. You have forever spoiled affogato for me, as I have never had one served with a hazelnut liqueur so any I have in the future will not live up to yours, and your homemade biscotti were amazing! The Sangria was delicious too, it packed quite a punch 😊

    Lovely experience and great service! Food was amazing but just a little salty for our taste. Best Chorizo ever tasted. Thanks to all staff for a lovely authentic experience!

    Great family meal, lovely atmosphere, good service and portion sizes especially for kids meals. Fish and paella dishes were lovely and chicken skewers tasty and huge. Was very busy during half term week but service was great. Thank you.

    We arrived for our booked table on a very busy Bank Holiday Monday, but despite every other table being occupied and the staff being clear run off their feet, they were all very welcoming and soon had us seated with our drinks on the table. The food and service were equally excellent as always. Thank you La Casita
