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.

    Lovely food except that the Watermelon & Feta Cheese Salad With Mint was contained goats cheese which is obviously v different from feta and not my choice! Ate it all the same but not what I ordered!

    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!
