Casa Italia in Liverpool

Amazing Italian fresh made food. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Worth every penny. Will be back for sure.

Absolutely Brilliant Authentic Italian. Came as a group of 7 two families. 4 Adults and 3 Children. Waiting staff were brilliant and the atmosphere was great really relaxing and buzzing. Food was just beautiful, will 1000% be back for a date night with the wife ❤️

Pasta was great, the people who worked there were very nice. A lady waitress spoke with me there and we talked about visiting Italy. I am from the US, I enjoy discussing travel. If I lived here, I would be a regular. 😄

Really nice restaurant, good atmosphere and terrific food, been twice in 10 days.

7 of us came for a meal on Friday evening. The food was delicious well presented, the gentleman that served us was very pleasant. I would highly recommend Casa Italia, i/we will definitely be back when back in Liverpool.

What a find. Loved the meat platter starter, and the garlic bread. Food arrives freshly cooked and piping hot. I had Caneloni for my main and then I was stuffe! But they did me a nice portion of Tiramisu to take home 👍👍👍👍👍 We will be going back here again.

Very good food and the service is absolutely amazing. 👌👌👌👌👌

Excellent food from family run restaurant.. one of the best like to come here when we visit Liverpool

Excellent food and service, prices are in line with the quality, the only thing to mention is that it is a very noisy environment.

Amazing food at a very busy place queues down the road at 5pm ! Unheard of the place has three large floors packed with people . Starters meatballs in tomatoes with meat platter mains gluten free carbonara and a gf pizza all perfect. Highly recommended but be prepared to wait

Great place with the best lasagne and pizza

This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had in Liverpool. We live here and came by a few years ago and it was fantastic, but this experience was awful. I think given the fame locally and popularity they have as a given, they’ve completely let go of trying. The service was appalling, we had to order items multiple times as no one was seeming to put anything through, we had to wait for extended periods even when ordering something like a single beer. No one seemed to be manning a section themselves, everyone was all over the place leading to chaos. Our food order arrived with the wrong food and they were more confrontational than apologetic. Yes it was busy, and there was a queue out the door as usual, but this isn’t a reason for the service to drop so significantly, especially when it’s been this busy for years and is the norm. Even when the restaurant became quieter the service didn’t improve. The food was basic and not flavourful, other than the salmon pasta that was so salty it was inedible. The lasagne was sauce and pasta but very light on meat and cheese. The restaurant itself is packed, with very small passing spaces (again in a restaurant this busy this is difficult), they clearly want to make as much as possible with more tables and high turnover which is absolutely fair enough, it’s a restaurant, just not one that is overly invested in the experience of its customers.

Service was ace. Food was great. Portions are massive. 10

Excellent service, the waiters were always very friendly, although the icing on the cake is of course the food. It transported me back to my childhood when I spent time in Italy. Don't hesitate to try the gelattos, they are truly wonderful. Without a doubt I will return

If there is a queue outside get in it because you will not be disappointed. Great food, lovely people. Next time I’m in Liverpool I will be back.

Got a collection order. Simple spaghetti bolognese and cheesy garlic bread. Well I say simple, but in fact was absolutely delicious. Well worth the journey there and back to get. Inside, as ever the atmosphere is buzzing with very friendly staff. Whilst eating our food at home we watched 'Dancin Thru The Dark' of which Casa had a starring role. Lovely ❤️

Family run, excellent service and tasty, traditional food. Would highly recommend

Probably the best Italian restaurant in Liverpool.

Very enjoyable meal and excellent service.

Delicious food and great service, very busy, with people queuing out of the door (due to how good it is!) Highly recommend 👍

Absolutely delicious Italian food and amazing service! Everything we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Highly recommend trying their gelato — it’s a must!

Brilliant Service, stunning food.

I had a fantastic experience at your restaurant! The food was delicious, and I especially enjoyed the halal pasta—such a great touch! 😆 Thank you for the excellent service and warm atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending your place to others! Best regards, Ahmed Saudi Arabia

The food is amazing, the staff is friendly, the place is nice and clean, and the price is very reasonable

I am very surprised this establishment has so many 5 star reviews. The garlic bread was great, but then it went rapidly downhill. Spaghetti Bollegnese was salty and wasn't very fresh. I like to leave a clean plate, but this had me beaten, I've had better Tesco Microwave meals. There are much better places in Liverpool to eat Italian food, and this place is trading on reputation. Italian Club in Bold Street is 100 times better.

Nice restaurant very busy but you can't book unless there's 6+ people. Food was tasty and staff are friendly. Not too expensive

Absolutely the best! Thurs night and had to queue for about 30 minutes, but absolutely worth it. Amazing food' service and atmosphere at a very good price.

Whilst the food was salty and mediocre the service and atmosphere is fantastic. The wait staff were friendly and helpful. Family style run restaurant with solid Anglo Italian options

Busy and popular Italian place, the food was plenty and ok, service a bit rushed and not always present. Not too impressed...

Food is to die for! I got the authentic carbonara, small portion, and I still struggled to finish it. I was soooo full, but I couldn't stop eating it. My tummy said "No" but my mouth said "Shut up tummy!" Divine food, no matter what you get 😙👌

The food is lovely. Highly recommend

I'm a local, and I live in city centre. Casa Italia has the most charming, attentive staff in any Liverpool city centre restaurant. The service is always remarkably good. Cosy, homely Italian décor, and wholesome, authentic Italian comfort food. 👌👌 I recommend starting as I did with a Limoncello Spritz as a sort of pre-meal aperitivo (Even in February its ok to pretend you're on holiday back in Italy, lol) and finish your meal with an affogato for desert. I revisited today on a whim, and I'm not exaggerating, this was the best meal and warmest service I've had in ages. Don't hesitate to dine here! I'll be coming back.

Food outstanding creamy Salmon pasta to die for

The four different meals ordered were all awful, a weird meat mince slurry covered in a salty tasteless sauce the exact same sauce for three of the dishes the garlic cheese bread was good would not return.

Avoid if you have Allergens. I tried to attend the Casa Italia restaurant in Liverpool today with our 3 year old son (having just been the theatre). Having waited sometime to be seated, we spoke to a waiter to alert him to the fact that our son had the following allergies: Egg Pea Lentil Chickpea Pineapple Sesame Oddly he looked concerned and said, 'are you serious'. I said yes. He is under Alder Hey Hospital with them. He then said he would speak to the chef. Having done so, he came back and said 'he might not be willing to serve you, I have to give him a few mins' (that despite the product we wanted I.e. a magherita pizza not having any of those allergens. I asked him, is he serving us. He then said, no. I explained that I had been to restaurants for years with my son and never once been refused food. I asked him what the issue was. Surely you just wash your hands and have a separate area. He then said he would get the manager. The manager came across and explained that the chef was refusing to serve us. I again expressed my dismay and asked whether his policy for allergens is just to refuse? That's unacceptable. Oddly the manager agreed. He said he would make us a pasta with sauce himself. I told him my son didn't want that. He acknowledged it. He again apologised and repeated that he found his own chef's reply unacceptable. I asked him what his policy was on vegan food, as they offer it. Surely it's the same issue. He said, no - that's fine (albeit, clearly it's not). We were then left with no other option but to pack our stuff up and leave. Our 3 year old was crying. To be clear, this was not us asking for a guarantee. I accept and understand that cross contamination may happen and would never expect a restaurant to full guard against it. However, this was not that. This was a chef, point blank refusing to make us any food because we had an allergen on the table. I have since reported the issue to Food standards. If you have an allergen (or of you are vegan) I would avoid this restaurant at all costs. Clearly, the restaurants policy on allergens and cross contamination is defective and needs urgently seeing to. If you have allergens or are Vegan, you really need to avoid this place. It's clearly a disaster waiting to happen. Terrible.

An absolute favorite for Liverpool families. Good, authentic Italian that will satisfy you!

We’ve been eating at Casa Italia for over 30 years, it’s been a firm family favourite of ours. Be prepared to wait outside for a table, this place is always busy! I have never had a bad meal here, after years of dining here I always opt for the same thing Tortellini Al la panna, probably not very easy on calories but it’s so worth it! Garlic bread with cheese is always fantastic, fresh and garlicky, delicious!! Olives and Salad great and the salad dressing which can be bought to take away is so so good. Many of the waiters here have been with Casa Italia for over 20 years, they’re excellent at there jobs and can be quite comedic. If you’ve not eaten here you’re missing out on traditional Italian food, always a 10/10 They can also make most dishes GF pizza and pasta.

My favourite restaurant of all time

I was quite disappointed with all the good reviews and good following on instagram I really wanted to love the food here but I could taste the oven if that makes sense with every bite and it didn’t taste great. The chicken tasted and looked like it was from a packet and way too much cheese that just wasn’t nice, rubbery.. Also tried my partners lasagne and that had the oven taste too just not great. Nice to try somewhere new but I won’t be returning :( the service was great and has a nice Italian feel inside but the food not so great! The best part of the food was the desert. Normally wouldn’t eat a desert after a starter and a main but didn’t finish either of them. Wasn’t worth the 1 hour and 40 min car journey anyway.

The food was absolutely incredible! Every dish was prepared with care, bursting with fresh flavors. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.

Disappointed, very busy restaurant but service was very, very slow and our food wasn't good, very over rated restaurant.

(Traducido por Google) El mejor lugar para comer en Liverpool y los mejores camareros ... un lugar encantador. (Original) Best place to eat in Liverpool and best waiters...... lovely place.

I recommend, wonderful Italian flavors

Wanted to go for ages , didn't disappoint. . Proper sized portions and everything the 7 of us had was perfect. Could barely move or breath when I left so happy days

Excellent place to dine on Italian food. Highly recommended

Been going here when in town for many years. I just love the baked pasta dishes. This visit both of us went for Tortellini al Italiana. It was bubbling hot when it appeared and delicious. It was good portion sizes and washed down with the house Montepulciano a very acceptable choice. The service was quick and friendly.

Amazing! Best lasagna ever, every mouthful an incredible taste! Don't miss it when in Liverpool!

It’s all part of the Casa Italia experience bonding in the queue reminiscing how things haven’t changed since the 1970’s. Good value Italian fare served by a great crew. A Liverpool institution everyone should visit at least once. Opposite the Eleanor Rigby statue!

Absolutely amazing meal as always. Great staff and atmosphere.

This place is the best Italian that I’ve ever been to. I was served by Martin and from start to finish he was brilliant. Messed up my order (totally my fault) and even then he was great and sorted it out no bother. The food was amazing, I can’t explain how nice the sauce is in the pasta and the garlic bread. Prices are reasonable and portion sizes are great. Absolutely love it here and I will be back.

Queued for an hour based off of a friend's recommendation, realised the queue had gotten massive behind us so we had high expectations and we really weren't disappointed. The food was delicious, best calzone we've ever had, will definitely be returning if we visit the city again!

Just ruined an 18th birthday meal. Service worse than poor. Waited 45 minutes to order drinks and then again for food. Would of had dessert but everyone was upset about the experience and didn't want to wait again. We were a large party but all service went to small tables.

Always a great meal and great service here, it never disappoints 😊

Authentic Italian food, best ever

Lovely atmosphere and amazing food it's the first time me coming here I'd definitely come back

Beautiful food even though we had to que highly recommend a visit

Good service tasty food,wonderful place.

Casa Italia had been recommended to us as a must and we were not disappointed. We had expected to queue as it was a Friday evening, (20 minutes) but the restaurant was definitely worth the wait. It was everything we had wished. Great food, a great atmosphere and excellent service. A big thank you to Callum whose service was excellent. Friendly and attentive even though the restaurant was very busy. We will definitely return when we are next in Liverpool

Very gd food great stuff easy going lovely place to be

Such friendly & attentive staff, even when they are so busy, which is usually most of the time, but that just reflects on how amazing the staff are. We live in York, but whenever we visit Liverpool, we always pay a visit here. Definitely 5* everytime 😊

Friendly staff very attentive. My daughter knocked her drink over they were straight on it cleared up no fuss brought her a new drink free of charge I thought was nice. Lasagne and carbonara were unreal. Was busy but food was super quick. I would suggest a bit of background music but other than that which is picky at the highest level it was lovely and I would highly recommend. We will be going back 100%

From the best restaurants in Liverpool

Amazing service, better food! Can't get enough of this. Definitely would recommend and come back again!

A bit of queue but it’s worth it

Loved this place, was with great friends, which made it special, lovely food and a buzzing atmosphere puts you at ease

Great place to eat. Feels casual but still excellent service and really tasty food.

Myself and my friend only ate a third of our meal. It didn't have a lot of sauce to it, therefore, it was very dry.

23 years in and this place can still do no wrong, amazing staff- quick service despite there always being a queue outside you never feel rushed

Waited at least an hour for the food would not recommend coming here

Was grand. Wouldn't go back. Food was grand. Service was fine. But asked for 3 lemonchellos and he never came back

The casa is just wonderful food and a roaring atmosphere. The garlic bread (without cheese)is like a party in your mouth with all of the flavours combined. The lasagne hands down best in the city italian style so tender and flavoursome.

Every time we visit town we always call in, still a great place.

Love this place. So much atmosphere. Busy even at 2pm on a Tuesday!

Everything perfect, friendly and welcoming environment. Italian cuisine is the best you can find in this country!

Great food and worth cueing up for outside. Will definitely visit again 👌🏻

The main menu is not too special and little bit salty, portion sizes is bit smaller than I expected. However, the desserts are definitely fantastic. We ordered a pistachio Gelato that is full of pistachio favours! The apple crumble is small portion and the tiramisu is outstanding and creamy. Will come again but just for the desserts. On the other hand, the service is great and all the staff are very nice and friendly.

My vegetarian lasagne had a lot of microwaved sauce

A great family meal with hearty Italian food! I was grateful for booking after walking past the queue outside on a Saturday! Definitely book!

Like many was attracted by the queue outside…feel suckered in now. Not impressed. And to call yourself House of Italy - my pizza was definitely not Italian. Not baked in a traditional pizza oven. A high quality shop bought one at best. Staff were great no complaints there and I wish them well.

The greatest little italian in the world

Lovely place, very popular and busy. Food is great and the staff don't rush you, really great atmosphere can be a bit noisy.

Excellent pasta and pizza and very reasonable price

I was served by a very disgusted boy! When he took my order he rushed me! In addition to the food and drink menu, there is a cake menu at each table and also a few drinks (from there I wanted to order) but he said no and put the big menu in front of me, pointing to where the drinks were! When he brought me the bottle of juice and next to it he put the glass with ice and threw the straw in! The food was good!

A unique Italian restaurant in Liverpool. I had lunch in the restaurant and it was not completely crowded, but it is usually difficult to sit directly and you have to wait. The atmosphere of the restaurant is wonderful, and the seating, lighting and design give you a feeling and impression of warmth, comfort and calm 🙏🏼 I tried the Focaccia Toscana, which is the usual garlic bread with cheese in a light pizza style, and it was less than average. Not worth ordering. We also ordered French fries with truffles and they were normal. ⛔️ We were going to order lasagna but the waiter told us it was not halal. We took the oven baked pasta, which is called Lumaconi Pollo Al Furno, which is shell pasta with bechamel sauce, mozzarella, and chicken. And it was very good. It is one of the best “halal” options. We ordered a pepperoni pizza called Calabrese and when it arrived the waitress told us that it was not halal (the waiter who took the order did not tell us that). So I suggested changing it to a margarita and it arrived very quickly without delay. The margarita was good. In general, the service was very good from the staff. It is important to pay attention to the issue of halal and haram in the dishes. ⚠️ In general, the experience is very nice and an excellent and unique Italian option in Liverpool 🇮🇹❤️

Had the carbonara- plenty of it but I think just a bottled sauce and loads of lardons.

Amazing Italian Restaurant, the best atmosphere, perfect food, I recommend it to everyone.

Great italian in liverpool. Very authentic. Easy, quick and tasty

Food was amazing so tasty and you can tell its homemade, friendly staff, only downside is we had to queue outside for about 20 mins for a table as you can't book a table unless it's 6 or more ppl

Amazing pasta would go again especially the garlic bread 👌🏼✨🍕🍝

After reading the reviews and thinking this was going to be amazing, it was average. I had the lasagne and it had more meat and cheese and hardly any pasta in it and also slightly salty. The pizza my dad had was also average and slightly burnt. It was also too noisy for a Thursday evening as they turn the music loud and everyone has to shout over it. Think I will explore other options in Liverpool.

Had a lovely time my nieces birthday 🎂, food amazing and service 10/10 thank you 😊

The food here is very good. The only downside is the chaos of getting in. I was made to feel that I was a nuisance because I didn't understand the system of entry. There was a queue outside and woe betide you if you don't wait to be called in when you reach the front of the queue! A very grumpy doorman/waiter. That being said the food made up for it and we had a tasty leisurely 3 course meal with wine for a reasonable price.

Came here with high expectations after reading reviews and there always being a queue outside. Food was good but certainly not the nicest Italian we've been to and we definitely wouldn't queue to get in again. We had dough balls to start which were amazing but the lasagne was pretty average. We asked for a cheesy garlic bread to go with our lasagnes but this arrived with the starter and was unfortunately cold by the time our lasagnes came out.

Great food. Quality. Good prices

Always walked past and wondered what the fuss is. Finally went with friends and I totally get why this place always has a queue out the door! There was four of us and we had no problems being seated quickly. Reasonably priced, we got 2 bottles of wine (1 litre each) and a main each and the bill was under £100. Service was exceptional, thanks to Matteo for being absolutely sound. Food was definitely worth coming for, came quickly and was clearly made fresh that day. If you're looking for reliable Italian food and a friendly environment look no further!

Italian restaurant with great ambience and tasty, traditional food. Very popular. Good for families too.

Very nice authentic Italian restaurant. Food was brilliant, both the pizzas and pastas and the service was very good. Couldn't book online so just walked up and got a table straightaway.

Have probably frequented this restaurant over 200 times since the 70's and have always marvelled at its consistent high quality, atmosphere and value for money. Not any more, yes the quality is still spot on but the portion sizes have diminished and the prices have rocketed. Not value anymore you have become too greedy. I have always queued up with pleasure but last 3 visits within the last month have walked in. That says it all.

Wow, just wow. I read about this place in the local paper and when I mentioned it to a few people, they all seemed to know about it and some had been. I knew then I was in for a treat and I was right. I love Italian food and eating in this place felt like authentic Italy. The food was outstanding and very reasonably priced too. I was told there is normally a queue to get in and that’s correct but it’s worth the wait. It took about 35 minutes to get in and when we left the queue was just as long as when we started queuing. That gives you an idea of how popular the place is. Food = outstanding. Service = outstanding. All at a decent price… I will definitely be back and I can’t wait.

Fantastic service 👏 quality food 👌 great recommendations mick ob thanks
