La Casona in Neath Port Talbot

Generally lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. I have been somewhat disappointed with my last two visits. They seem to charge £17.95 as opposed to the advertised £16.95 for their lunch offer. It's still good value so I didn't complain but this has happened twice. Calamari lacked it's usual flavour and salad garnish was very oily. The spaghetti Bolognese isn't what it used to be either and lacked actual mince. I really hope its a blip and meals go back to how they used to be soon because we do like coming here.

Super delicious food, variety of options, and amazing service! Desserts are phenomenal! I have been there loads of times and I'll be always down to have food there. Keep going guys! Well done.

Great food choice - both Spanish and Italian choices. VERY attentive staff, maybe because they weren't stretched. Several group parties created a buzz

Worst dining experience ever - what has happened to this place!!? If I could give no stars I would! I have been many times before and booked 8 of us in tonight as it’s always been lovely in the past. I can’t write all the individual issues out as I’ll be here all night!!! But in summary…..rude/condescending and argumentative staff, extremely slow service and poor quality in the food (including a long hair found in one meal!!) We booked for 7pm and didn’t order until 7.45pm. Had our mains at just gone 9pm. When the issues experienced were all raised to the restaurant manager she was extremely defensive and argumentative. No apology was offered until after her bad attitude was pointed out by me which then made it totally fake. After she sorted her attitude out she did remove the meal with the hair found from the bill and deducted 10% off everyone’s main but I’m appalled at the horrendous service that I have received here tonight. I will never return or recommend to anyone.

Booked for 6 of us, lads catch up. Food was unbelievable and one of the best in area. Yes we ate & drunk , but found it little on expensive side. "But you pay for what you get" could do with another member of staff. Had to wait for beers at bar, while barman serviced tables. Overall excellent

Nestled amongst your usual array of town centre take aways, you just don't expect a restaurant of this quality, I have eaten here several times now, and it's just superb, but I have to say, that the paella I had last visit was sublime, I highly recommend it, just remember to book it 48 hours in advance, you will not be disappointed 👌

Food and service are incredible. Been there a few times and never disappointed.

We had a family meal tonight and it’s the first time we had been to the restaurant, and I have to say the food was absolutely delicious and the service was amazing. Definitely be going to La Cazona more often!!!

Lovely staff. More veggie / vegan options would be good.

Excellent food and very pleasant and attentive staff

What has happened to La Casona. Ordered to simple Margarita pizzas tonight. They both tasted and looked COMPLETELY different. Not there was much favour or taste to them. A few months ago, we had a bad experience too with food, gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried it again tonight. Won't be going back.

Booked La Casona for party of ten for special birthday lunch. Absolutely first class service and food. Called in during the week to look at seating, the manageress was very helpful and showed me the booth which was capable of seating ten comfortably. We sat here and it was perfect as we were able to talk to each other easily and felt altogether. Everyone chose different dishes from starters and mains 2 course lunch menu. Beautiful food — large portions and piping hot.. Service was prompt and very friendly creating a relaxed atmosphere. We were too full for deserts but restaurant was happy for us to bring our own cake to go with coffee at the end. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely return here in the future, best meal we’ve had in a long time. Thank you La Casona for a truly lovely birthday lunch.

Delicious food (Spanish and Italian cuisine) with excellent service. You should expect to pay 20-30 pounds per person.

Fantastic food friendly staff great atmosphere what more do you want 👍

2nd visit and enjoyed as much as the 1st. Lovely menu that so far has not failed to please. Well worth a visit

It was our first visit to La Casona and we hope to return soon. The staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. My Mum is in her 70s and only has a small appetite and they were happy for her to have a child’s portion of pasta as her main course. The food was delicious, particularly the seafood risotto and the chicken Andaluz. The prices were very reasonable and the portion sizes were good. Next time we’ll try and save room for dessert! This restaurant is a local gem.

Fantastic meal Fantastic dessert Great wine Highly recommend this place

First time and won't be the last. Superb food. Great service. Fillet medallions in peppercorn sauce was lovely and other half had garlic chicken which she loved too.

Attended here for dinner last night with my family as my parents had previously been before. The starters were much enjoyed, but after waiting quite some time for our mains we were less than pleased. My mother had the salmon, of which was dry and completely over cooked, her chips were also very undercooked which was the same for my step father. My partner and I ordered pizzas, when they were delivered to the table I noticed mine looked less than appetising in comparison to his. The cheese had gone tough after being out of the oven for a while but then sat under a hot lamp. When a waitress came over to check if everything was okay, we explained that we were less than satisfied. She said that my partners pizza had been dropped on the floor so they had to remake his, and as a result the remaining meals were just sitting until his new meal was ready. We were given a 10% discount off each meal, which equated to an insulting £7 off, that still left us with a £145 bill. It would have been preferred that someone informed us our dinner would be a slightly longer wait, and they had remade all of our meals rather than sending out food of a lower quality. Unfortunately will not be returning.

Lovely place with friendly professional staff, fair prices and amazing food. Would definitely come back every time I'm in the area

Fantastic meal tonight ,great choices there was 6 adults we all had different starters ,main courses ,and sweets , what a surprise to find this restaurant in Skewen, it was the best Italian / Spanish meal we have had in such a long time ,service was great , atmosphere was relaxed ,lovely staff especially the lovely Chinese lady we had a laugh with her and was made to feel very welcome, anyone reading this you will be pleasantly surprised with the quality of the the food ,and the taste of each meal we did try each others meal 🥹,amazing restaurant give it a try everyone . Thank you for a great meal .Doris Jones and party 🎈🥘🍤🍮🥮.

Excellent food and service. Great choice of Italian and Spanish dishes.

What on earth has happened to La Casona? I’ve been a regular at La Casona for several years and it has gone downhill over night! Staff all appear to be new and the service was absolutely horrific. The food has completely changed as well, as food was ordered and looked completely different before to what it is now! Very very disappointed, I’m not sure if there are new owners but the old menu was a lot better! Won’t be returning.

A regular at La Casona since it opened at least once a month and never had a bad meal until tonight. So disappointed. Altered menu taking away a lot of favoutites such as fish cakes. Ordered bruschetta tonight was always a treat served with garnish and dressing tonight 2 small pieces of bread with chopped tomato. For mains chicken andaluz which has always been accompanied by rice roast pots and veg tonight half cooked chips! Staff as always great but La Casona if you want to keep your customers and your reputation please return to how you were.

Fantastic meal, me & my friends had food,desert orange juice and coffee,tonic water had chicken in pepper sauce salad,salted potatoes, garlic bread, cheese penned, cheesecake timissru staff lovely & friendly got to add more at a later date advise to book we were lucky we got there early and they fitted us in need to put the menu on line a lot of the dishes not on this list

Brilliant restaurant. Been here 3 times in the last 12 months. The food has always been outstanding and the service is also very good. Our go to restaurant in the area.

Excellent service, the owner looked after us so well, great food, best lasagne, and the best olives we have ever had, tiramisu was fantastic. Highly recommended

Absolutely fantastic restaraunt, from id is perfecto!!! The owner looked after us so well can’t wait to come Again, best food around, the atmosphere is great I feel like I’m on holiday

Service wasn't amazing from all staff. The menu was a set menu and desserts weren't up to much. However I had cheesy garlic mushrooms to start outstanding. The pizza was fresh, toppings were really tasty would deffinatly recommend for food quality and taste. Service wasn't awful but was OK expected better. Pricing was a little on the higher than expected side but the food backs up the price. Quality of photos are quite poor pictures don't do it justice

Came for food on Saturday and the lamb chops were the most delicious things I have ever eaten! The olives were also the best I’ve had. Our waiter Juan was very kind and very entertaining to say the least! Will definitely be back soon!

There were seven of us out for a family meal who ordered several dishes with a mixed grill being the most popular between us, this was the worst meal we've ever eaten and would not return even if they gave it away, please don't waste your money and time eating here, can only be described as terrible.

Went on valentine's day, booked table for 7.30. was seated not too long after the allocated time. Had some moctails which were lovely. Then ordered a load of starters as mains. The food was tasty and plenty of it. Staff were friendly. Atmosphere was very nice. Warm and cosy. Highly recommend.

Not one to write reviews but we just had the most disappointing Valentine’s Day meal... My partner and I live local and had never visited here before but heard good things from those around us (although they did visit around 2 years ago) so decided to give it a go. Money is tight so eating out isn’t something we do often so you can imagine the disappointment when we realised that we could have made a much nicer meal ourselves. To begin with, staff avoided making eye contact with us the whole time so we were sat waiting to order anything for about 30 minutes. When we finally did, we were only then told that they weren’t offering the set menu that night so we then needed to send wait staff away so we could make a different decision all over again. We asked for a jug of water, possibly the most simple request ever, and it never arrived! They managed to remember to put it on the receipt though. The food did come out quickly thankfully! I ordered the king prawns main and the waitress who took our order was very helpful and said she’d ask them to take the shells off for me so I appreciate that. however, I was presented with 6 very small prawns. I believe this dish was around £26 so this was astonishing. The meal was nice but I was still hungry afterwards and not willing to spend a penny more. My partner had a ‘tender beef’ dish that was far from tender, in fact so dry he couldn’t finish it, which is not like him at all. He also got a mixed vegetable side that looked like some veg out of a bag from Tesco’s frozen aisle. We’ve worked in a restaurant ourselves so we understand that it was probably a busier night than usual and perhaps everyone was a bit stressed but both service and food was so poor that we won’t ever come back. Also, I don’t really see how they can justify the prices they charge when the restaurant is literally in Skewen, not a particular nice location, prices you would expect down the Mumbles for example. The waiter at the end did ask if everything was okay, I think he could see from the large amount of leftover food on my partner’s plate and our willingness to get out of there that we weren’t happy. My partner was working a night shift shortly after so we simply didn’t have time to be sending food back and didn’t feel comfortable enough to complain due to some staff’s level of ignorance. Save your money and get an M&S dine in meal instead.

Brilliant service. Absolutley delicious food and a brilliant choice of starters, mains, sides, desserts and drinks. Would definatley go back there again. My fiancé and I can’t wait to go back to try the Paella.

We’ve been to La Casona a few times previously and always found it very good but not so much on this visit unfortunately. One starter came late (with no explanation or apology) followed by the same thing with one of the mains (again no explanation/apology). Food was expensive but very mediocre. Some chips were still frozen in the middle and there was a small bone in the lasagne. All in a disappointment and we won’t be returning.

Lovely food and atmosphere staff couldn't do enough highly recommend

Always nice food and friendly staff. Big choice and reasonably priced.

Went for a Christmas Eve meal the food was fantastic the fish meal of plaice was beautiful Would and have recommended can't wait to go again soon

We came home for a family christmas meal and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, juan (hope I spelt that properly) was really good at what he does, very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and great fun. All the staff were friendly and professional. Definitely recommend it to anyone that hasn't been before. Thank you for a great night.

La Casona remains the best restaurant in the area by far. Having moved away from the area, it was a pleasure to revisit La Casona and to see that the quality of the food and service is as high as ever. Well done.

Nothing wrong with venue staff ,only slightly disappointed with meal , garlic bread slightley toasted nothing like normally given , 2 spaghetti bolognaise 1 with to much pasta and no sauce and other opposite ,

Great good food loverly decor great service

We booked a table for an anniversary meal, both my husband and I opted for the Italian menu and had a fabulous meal. Both the food and service were outstanding. Looking forward to a return visit to try out the Spanish menu. Only criticism would be the table is only reserved for 1.5 hrs. As no-one was waiting for our table this wasn't an issue for us and we were able to keep the table longer, however, this would feel a little rushed if we had to leave after our alloted time as we were still enjoying our wine!

Food is top class, service is brilliant, the staff cant do enough for you. Good lunch menu, lots of popular choices! Thank you

Wanted to order a meal with chips instead of potatoes and was refused, told to order chips separately at a further cost even though chips were on the menu. Potatoes were hard and chewy. No atmosphere and for the price was poor. Will not go back

Wow what a great find , amazing food , great service and fantastic staff we will be back . Thanks for a great time

We went here for a family birthday on a Saturday evening. The atmosphere was great, a perfectly cosy Mediterranean restaurant. The staff were great. Friendly and welcoming. The food was very good. Price: most starters were £7-£10. Mains £11-14. (There were one or two items, such as lobster that were £30+) There was a set meal for around £22, but only available Mon-Thurs. As we had 10 people in our group, a deposit of £10/person was required. Which is reasonable, but worth noting. There was a slight mixup with one of our mains, but this was sorted quickly and without any fuss. As we were a large party, this doesn't seem like a huge issue. I will definitely visit again. Recommended.

Bit late writing this review - sorry. Visited with family and everyone was of the same opinion great. Cocktails were lovely and not over,priced. The food arrived piping hot and there were empty plates all around. Lovely waiters smashing atmosphere , of you want a special night out, go here

I came here for an evening meal (2 people) We ordered scallops, arancini and a mozzarella salad for starter. The arancini and mozzarella were particularly good! For main I had spaghetti meatballs (only 4) and weren’t fantastic. Also for main we ordered spinach and ricotta cannelloni which was 4/5 The atmosphere was great and service was fantastic.

Stunning food, amazing wines, awesome cocktails and a really nice atmosphere. Good prices too!

Absolutely stunning food, great value 3 course 22.50. Came here for family birthday meals and were quite a large party. All good hot and fresh and large portions, had enough to take some home which they boxed up for us. The staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. Lovely interior too! Will 100% be returning!

Fantastic night out with the girls. Beautiful food and drink. Very clean and tidy 😁

The place had a lovely atmosphere, the service was good but a little slow due to them being very busy, everyone enjoyed their food it was cooked to perfection.

After reading good reviews.. myself and family booked a table. Some friendly staff and some not .however whilst eating our food different members of staff was back and fore whilst eating asking would we like to purchase more drinks. And taking drinks away that wasn't even finished.Want be in a hurry to visit again very off putting not being able to enjoy a family meal. Just seem to be more concerned to make money on ordering us ordering more drinks. Very disappointed 😞

This place should be great but unfortunately most staff just do not know a lot about the food they are serving. Go there with any kind of dietary requirements, and you're going to need to help the staff understand what is in each dish. Not great for gluten free options and I think that stems from not understanding what gluten is in the first place. I was served a double straight whisky in a pint glass, kind of sums up the level of service I won't be returning any time soon

Lovely food but as we were a big party there was a long delay for the food. I think we should have prebooked our meals.

Stuffed peppers absolutely disgusting! Not roasted. Frozen vegs inside. Served in mashed potatoes ( not stated in menu ) . Waited for mains ages. Will never come back.

Went here with a friend as we were staying in Neath having come from Birmingham for a few nights. The food was absolutely fantastic, staff were very friendly and helpful.......... Highly recommended 😊

A good choice of dishes from their two course lunchtime menu (starter and main course). Very good food and service at an affordable price.

Awesome dinner deal. Beautiful food and lovely place. Wonderful customer service. On the way to the toilets and back is very slippery and you might trip on the step so be careful. There is a wet floor sign though a mat back to the restaurant but I still slipped as I entered the restaurant so be careful.

I am Spanish, and some of my mates recommended for me to eat here. I found the food terrible, and the food had nothing to do with Spain. I found the food horrible and there was an extremely slow service. Definitely won’t be coming here again and I advice to stay away from this restaurant, don’t waste your money on terrible food.

Great cocktails, wine, food and service. We'll be back soon. Really enjoyed. The fresh pesto dressing on all the salads is a winner 🏆

Lovely, helpful staff with a warm welcome. Food very average and very expensive. Tip. In retrospect, the set menu seems better value.

Hidden gem tucked away in skewen neath,

Only once out of quite a few visits had an issue with an item I ordered. Ordered the peppercorn sauce to go with my tasty steak. It came out like coloured water with no cream or anything. when I told the waiter I don’t think...

Really enjoyed our meals in a great atmosphere.

Brilliant, staff are superb & food is excellent - would recommend 😁

I had to send my wine back as it arrived incorrect, the prawn starter felt pre prepared and not hot as you would expect garlic prawns, the duck was lack lustre and came with rice even thought the menu described potatoes….. of which there were...

Stunning food, great atmosphere and brilliant service. Best food had in a while!!!

Lovely staff, Food was very tasty and hot when served. Romantic. Busy and friendly atmosphere. Diffrent selection of Spanish and Italian food. Vegetarian options available. Great bar service. Tables spread out evenly and some cosy areas. Provides tables for large groups. Great place to celebrate...

Tried this little gem of a restaurant on a whim this evening, saw some photos of the food a mate had there so thought we'd give it a try, best choice we've made in ages, the restaurant is fantastic, great atmosphere, beautiful decor, service is spot on, professional but fun and welcoming, the food was perfect too, can't fault the place and will definitely return!

Great food, tasty cocktails, great atmosphere and really friendly staff!

My husband took me here for the first time ever and I loved it. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff and seated immediately (we had booked prior). The menu is amazing and there's lots of choice between either Spanish or Italian cuisine. As it was Saturday we weren't able to have the set meal with 3 items which we were gutted about, but there's no complaints as the food was amazing! Lovely little place. Only downside was difficulty to find parking.

Me and my boyfriend went there tonight, as soon as we opened the door we were welcomed straight away, the staff are so polite and friendly, always smiling and asking us if we needed anything, the food was amazing and the restaurant was beautifully decorated, we highly recommend and will definitely going back to La Casona

Lovely food but a little bit of a language barrier.

Fabulous meal with all family. I had Risotto la Casona, highly recommend. Friendly and unrushed. 2 courses for 6 of us with drinks less than £150 I didn't think was bad

Gorgeous gorgeous little restaurant. Staff super attentive, polite and lovely. Restaurant was very cute & cosy inside, dark lighting, very Spanish feel. Food was just beautiful, even the side salads had a gorgeous pesto dressing. Nothing short of 5/5. Bravo ❤️

Lovely food, with very pleasant staff. Little pricey, but not overly so.

Lovely booths for privacy and good service. Food slightly overcooked but plenty of choice. Excellent atmosphere.

We had such a wonderful evening at La Casona! I went with my mum for a nice dinner and we were not disappointed in the slightest. The food was delicious, especially the seafood platter, which was perfect as a sharer for two. The atmosphere was...

The staff were very friendly the food was brilliant you have to go there

The food was nice but not very big portions. Menu doesn't give enough detail e.g. some fish are not filleted and some take half hour to prepare, had to have my third choice for these reason and it come with a tiny amount of rice and potatoes. There are no dairy free options for desert, nor do they provide any dairy free milk for coffee, I was told I could have a bowl of strawberries and a black coffee! But yet at the bottom of the menu if says if you have any dietary requirements/allergies to let them know 🤔 A male at my table visited the toilets and said they weren't very clean. That said, I would give it another try, and it may be better now I'm pre-armed with this knowledge. (Photo is of the Salmon in breadcrumbs).

The service and food are absolutely incredible. The staff were so attentive and engaging. The food was absolutely delicious, hands down the best steak in Swansea.

First visit to La Casona for a family get together. Excellent welcome and very authentic Mediterranean feel to the place. Food was superb and everything was cooked to perfection. Staff excellent and very professional . Will definitely visit again , keep up the good work La Casona 👍🏻

Amazing food, amazing staff, they just can't do enough for you. Definitely be dining here again

I had food on Monday night at La Casona Skewen, I ate the Lasange and the taste seemed fine but hrs later that night I felt my stomach was not right and I started being sick and then diarrhoea and stomach cramps. I’ve been off work all week and it’s now Friday and I’m still very ill, I’ve emailed the restaurant to ask about this and to try and sort out the problem but had no reply since Tuesday so feel customers need to now there’s a problem. We all had different meals and no one else has been ill.

Brilliant place. It's not cheap but it's worth it, the food was fantastic.

Beautiful food, and fabulous service, the restaurant was full and very busy which is lovely to see a local business doing so well.

Had a really good experience tonight, me and my girlfriend had a good meal and service and the staff was so friendly, Juan is a top G and will come down again soon!

Lovely evening. Great food & staff.

Found this place using "fine dining near me" whilst on a business trip to Swansea. All 5 of us really enjoyed all of the food which came out. Not a single complaint or even a comment to make it "better" Was perfect, exactly as it was. Staff were also really friendly with nothing too much trouble. Would definitely visit again when we are back in Swansea for sure

Entering this restaurant is like stepping in to a Spanish bodega. The decor and ambience reminded me of a Continental holiday. Extensive Italian and Spanish menu, the six people at our table chose very different meals and each dish was delicious. An added bonus was...

Food excellent safe very nice will go back again

We throughly enjoyed our evening......the restaurant is really lovely......food is fab, with lots of choice on the menu, a good atmosphere and the staff are friendly and efficient......would definitely go again 😋

Try this place,,you won't be disappointed

Nice ambience, very good service Find excellent

Excellent experience all round.

We spent our 3rd New Year's Eve in 4 at La Casona on Saturday. We were first to book a table back in October. The table was booked for 7.30. At 9.15 having just had a second bottle of wine delivered and waiting for one sweet, we were told we would have to vacate the table as there were other guests waiting. the sweet was promptly delivered when we said we were waiting for it. There was nowhere to sit and drink the wine as the seated waiting area was full. This left a sour feeling and having previously recommended this restaurant we won't be doing so any longer. At no stage were we told that the table was available for a limited time. In previous years and previous visits we have had the table for the whole evening. I don't envisage going to this restaurant again.

A very good restaurant which could easily operate in any major city centre. Skewen is an unlikely and lucky place to have a restaurant of this quality.
