La Casa Pasta - Newark

Very good and varied menu. Reasonable prices. Nice restaurant. We were very pleased. Kara, our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient.

Lasagna. Said to have meat and sausage. Who in earth uses link sausage slices in lasagna….should be sausage chunk or crumbles. Was warm at best. Ask to substitute the lemonade splash in a drink …that means add something else…at all costs. Instead, the give the drink half full and no substitute. We would’ve paid for the substitute… Shrimp and scallops in a pasta dish were both well over cooked and very rubbery.

The restaurant is undergoing some renovations at this time. Bar is not open and the side rooms have little or no windows. Martini glasses not available and they do not offer Happy Hour while undergoing renovations. : There were 4 of us who dined and all food was very good. I love the 1/2 portion options on 3 dishes; wish there were more! Our server, Kara, was AWESOME! Very attentive, helpful and also witty! We wanted her to join us for conversation! We will be back to see the new bar and dining room when renovations are completed.

Thank you La Casta Pasta Our reservation for a party of 9 grew to 11 the day prior and to 17 the morning of. The staff took the twist in hand and placed us in a private room with 2 assigned servers. The setting was perfect for this larger than expected family reunion. Full menu selection was allowed, so every one was able to get what they wanted. The party included 1 high chair, 3 pre-teens, 4 seniors citizens and 9 adults. The staff was diligent with drinks, appetizers, meal ordering and service then were gone to allow us to have a wonderful reunion dinner. Great job by a great house.

Great food service, all were very friendly answered all of our questions.
