Vegetarians be warnedCasa has very very few vegetarian options. While other restaurants have increased their choices for vegetarians and vegans Casa seems to have gone the other way. But despite there being no indication on the menu that there is flexibility and the option to remove meat from some dishes, the chefs will do it and (in my experience at least) do a great job.It’s been a few years since we visited Casa, despising pretty close by.We used to go as a family a lot but the kids are bigger now and my wife and I made the most of a kid free evening for an evening out.We’re both vegetarian and we’re surprised to find fewer veggie choices now than we remember from our last visit.While every vegetarian option had the option to “add chicken for £2” there was no “remove chicken and save £2” option to be found anywhere. Even a “can be ordered as vegetarian/vegan option” would have been both good and easy.I asked if I could have the “Penne pasta with chicken and pesto” without chicken and save £2 and was told I couldn’t save the £2 but could change chicken to other ingredients. So I went for mushroom and chilli as a chicken replacement and I have to say that the result was outstanding.It’s such a shame the chef’s obvious ability to make varied and interesting meat free dishes isn’t reflected anywhere on the menu, this review would be 5-star if it was.

Nice restaurant, had Pizza here this time and it is OK. Friend had Pork Saltimbocca who said it was excellent, so a bit of food envy.

We popped in for dinner on a Monday night, hadn't really planned to, but it had been a long hard day away from home. Our welcome was warm, we were quickly shown to a table and our order taken by our friendly and efficient waitress. We both went for the lemon chicken, didn't have to wait too long (it was early on a Monday evening, so relatively quiet) and were pleased with what we were served. So much so we went for dessert; the chocolate mousse and tiramisu were both very good. All at reasonable value too. We were pleased with our impromptu visit and would happily visit again.

Whilst in Evesham today we decided to pop in on the off chance for some food, it looked nice from the outside and upon walking in we were greeted and shown to a table, the menu full of great Italian dishes at reasonable price's, the drinks were quick, the starters straight after and the mains soon came out after, we were full but of course had desert too.The food was excellent, the service exceptional, the restaurant itself with a clean and smart atmosphere.We'll definitely be back!

6 of us and we all very much enjoyed our meals, starters (Goats cheese Bruschetta/Scallops & Gambrel) and mains (Carbonara/Penne Arabiata/Risotto/Pollo Con Fungi/Mussels). Service was good, nice atmosphere.

Enjoyed the food. Not exactly fine dining but a good meal. I would have given 5 stars but my partner said the toilet was absolutely filthy.

Average. Risotto tasty but nothing special for £18 with chicken. Thought it expensive. Ambience a bit lacking with no music and dark interiors. Italian waitress charming but did seem a bit put upon - only staff member who knew what she was doing. Need more attention to detail with front of house.

Whilst this eatery boasts of being able to cater for up to 110 covers, goodness knows how many days it would take to serve two or three courses to this number of Customers!? The quality of the food was fine 7, maybe even 8/10; however, authentic Italian it isn't! Yes, the dishes are of Italian origin, but if there is an Italian chef present, whatever you do, don't entertain Mama, or she'll disown you! My Wife and I ate on a Saturday evening, arriving after the rush. We assumed the level of attentiveness could/would be better at this time - WRONG! What is needed is a properly trained Manager/Maitre di sala (Maître d'), who can then, in-turn, train the waiting staff. There doesn't seem to be much of a system in-place, and if one exists, then it needs retuning, as it's not fit for purpose! The waiting staff were definitely not attentive, much of which, comes with training and experience - the rest, down to a desire to achieve high standards; I suggest there might be a lack of 'team-spirit' - which subtends from the top down. There's an ocean of difference between a relaxed atmosphere and the apparent casual indifference displayed, and it should be possible to motivate the youths employed, to willingly provide a higher, more cheerful, level of service. Even with the absence of the owners, who live elsewhere, with greater attention to detail, this venue could easily, not only double its turnover, but become a Mecca to Italophiles near and far. We came in the hope of countering the opinions of others before us, but left, disappointed to find we couldn't award 80% (4 out of 5), only 73%; therefore a good 3 out of 5.
