Great sandwiches! We've had the prosciutto sub, eggplant parm, special Italian, and antipasto salad. Everything was so delicious with great portions. The service was friendly, like going to an old Italian corner store. Lived the assortment of pasta as well. read more

The simple Italian sub with hots is exquisitely delicious! All the ingredients super simple and tasty.

I agree with a previous reviewer that this place is dated with charm. The proprietor is a lovely man who makes your sandwich with glee and a song. While the store's atmosphere is aging and in need of a little pick me up , it's nice that they make fresh pasta and have a selection of other Italian corner store goods for purchase. I got a deli meats sandwich (not an Italian). The meat was cut in front of me on a slicer and fresh , but I found the sandwich a bit salty, even for deli meat (maybe the bread or the meat ?) . Great service and a nice local business , even if the food I sampled wasn't at the top. I'd bet the pasta and the eggplant parm are great here. Maybe next time read more

I've never had anything less than a stellar meal from this place, and I've been working up the street for almost a decade now. I prefer their Italian sub to Bob's in Medford, it's that good. They make their own sausages, meatballs, and red sauce, all of which are excellent. Sarah and Luigi are super nice. I love this place and I'm dreading the day they decide to retire. read more

File this spot under places that are dated but still with charm. While the food I had here wasn't mind-blowing, I appreciated the care that I received. The couple owning this place is really kind and thoughtful. While the store inside is in a bit of a time warp, it does have its charm. The ziti with sausage was fine. The pasta itself wasn't overcooked and the sausage was very lean. I've rarely had sausage that lean. It might not be for everyone but I liked the meaty texture. If you're in the area and need some Italian food products but don't want to go to a supermarket, this is a good choice. Also, you can get a sandwich here for the road home. read more

Casa d'Italia - Ziti with sausage (comes with scali bread) - Grocery Near Me - Waltham, Massachusetts

Love Luigi and his shop. Subs are fantastic. Favorites are the meatball and eggplant parm. Fresh pasta :)

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. They simply have the best Italian subs! The meats are cut fresh for every sandwich that is made. The best part is watching Luigi make the sandwiches. You can see lots of love being put in the subs. Everything in the italian sub is tasty and fresh. We've moved 40 minutes away and will make the drive just to get the Italian subs here. I love this family owned sub shop and market. read more

Best Italian sub shop outside the North End. The owners are wonderful people and their Italian subs are THE BEST. (I'm a vegetarian but they're so good I make an exception a couple times a year. Don't judge. ;) Eggplant parm is also great, as is the deli and grocery selection. Perfect rolls, perfect sauce. So lucky to have Casa d'Italia Right around the corner! read more

Freshly made pasta, including lasagna noodles! Bought some and fettuccini. Can't wait to try them! Served by a wonderful gentleman who's run the store for 34 years. read more

Casa d 'Italia is a Waltham legend. The owner Luigi is a one man band serving up Italian classics on a daily basis. He definitely deserves a space on Waltham's Italian Mt Rushmore!! If you're looking for a tasty sandwich or home made soup look no further and while you're waiting for Luigi to finish your masterpiece grab some imported Italian specialties for your next Sunday dinner. Waltham is the place to go for your Italian culinary needs. It's closer than the North End and has more parking. read more

No doubt The Clash is the only band that ever mattered. Same of The Godfather for movies. There is a scene where Genco's father unwillinly fires The Don from his store, Vito tells him that he will always be grateful for the support that he has shown him. He doesn't argue whine or complain or tell him that he has a wife and son to feed. He keeps it to himself because that's how he works. That store that Genco's Dad owned is in Waltham. I went there today. It's called Casa D'Italia. The owner Luigi is a throwback too. " We make a all our stuff ina house a. Not like a those other guys " in a thick Italian accent. We chatted about lemonciello and bracciole like we knew each other for years. He made a chicken parm. I didn't mind when he didn't ask what type of cheese? He knows. Homemade sauce and chicken cutlets with provolone and soft bread. Who am I to question my new longtime friend? He keeps to himself. That's how he works. read more

Delicious sandwich shop and specialty foods. Been in Waltham forever and the family couldn't be nicer. Those roast beef sandwiches. Mmmm. All around great place if you live in the area. read more

I get lunch from here all the time. Their chicken cutlets are the best. The rest of the food is great. I love their salad with chicken cutlets and fresh mozzarella. And let me not forget about the Italian cold cuts calzone. Sara and Luigi are two of the most genuinely nice people you could possibly meet. read more

Have been going here for a year now. It is a nice little convenience store that has a lot of different variety of foods to offer. The owners, Luigi and his wife Sarah are nice and friendly. The menu is extensive and everything is prepared fresh daily. The quality is incredible. I love the Italian sub, Italian tuna sub, chicken parm sub, meet ball sub, and the egg plant sub. The soups are delicious as well. They do special events and cater. read more

Create FOOD !!! We are come at least two time a week for lunch, it's always great food and friendly service. They have a ton options of Italian food. We would recommend this place for anyone looking for a good value, tasty meal. read more

Casa d'Italia doesn't look like much from the outside but the food and groceries really make a positive impression. The workers are always kind and helpful and really work hard to make the customers happy. Almost everything they sell is homemade and delicious. After going to Casa d'Italia, you will never want to go back to any Subway ever again because they always have high quality and delicious cold cuts. This store provides much more than sandwiches; they have pasta (It's homemade!), salads, cold cuts, soup, Italian groceries and so much more. If you are ever in the area I highly recommend stopping in! read more

Pretty good homemade ravioli ($7.50 for 18pc tray). They also have a wide selection of imported Italian foods such as cookies, pastas, San Marzano tomatoes, and general convenience items as well. I have not tried the sandwiches yet but I will be back in to give them a go! The people are super friendly and the food is authentic Italian. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but if you are in the area I recommend stopping in. read more

I come here every holiday - best Italian cold cuts around! My antipasto and calzone cannot survive without them. And the owners are a pleasure to work with too! read more

After having visited Salem Foods and leaving less than wowed, this place was on my peripheral, and has become the place to grab Italian goodies short of the North End. While some might say that my southern Italian pride is a vested interest, Luigi is a truly nice guy, and helped me find all the fixings for the Northern (but still delicious) Pasta Amatriciana. For meats, this place is definitely on the A-game, and very reasonably priced. The Italian grocery selection is noteworthy, I was most impressed with all the variations of San Marzano tomatoes. However, they were missing two of my all-time favorites, Pan di Stelle and San Benedetto Iced Tea. The real hidden gems in this casa are the deli sandwich selections, ranging from a mere $5-7. While subway shops go with Waltham like Snooki goes with Pickles, this place stands out as being the only one with Porchetta (Italian pulled-pork) Totally sets it apart from the rest. read more

I love these local mom and pop shops. Looks like nothing from the outside, but the freshest deli meats and Italian specialties are available from this local shop. Prosciutto and Mozzarella with Basil sandwich is something I can't pass up. Theirs was super, with soft fresh Italian roll with olive oil and oregano. On a side street but worth the trip. Thanks fellow Yelpers for steering me here! read more

Authentic Italian. So good! Great people. I love to get the Greek Salad for lunch. Hated when our office moved farther away from them. Definitely worth stopping in! read more

I stopped by Casa d'Italia today to get some stuff to make dinner with. The man who worked there, Luigi, was really friendly...I told him I had never been there before so he showed me around. There were so many great things there...fresh pasta, huge deli, homemade sausage, and frozen ravioli and manicotti. The sausage wound up being VERY, VERY salty...almost inedible so I had to dock them 2 stars. I'll give the sausage another shot but this first time didn't bode well. They had some yummy Italian cookies that I love, but I couldn't get them because I'd be sitting here eating the entire bag. read more

Literal mom and pop from Italy. Authentic Italian food and hospitality.

Besides having a difficult time parking(not really their fault) this place is great. Doesn't get more authentic than the Italian couple working behind the counter. I've been twice in the last 2 weeks and they have known other customers orders by heart for their regulars which is something I can appreciate. Food is amazing, I won't have a regular order any time soon since I want to try everything read more

My go to for fresh cold cuts and Italian speciality cheeses. Everything is fresh and feels like a bit of the North End. Owners are very nice and welcoming! Their hot and cold sandwiches are delicious! read more

My wife and I went here for a quick bite to eat for lunch and we each got a different sub and they were both very good. The atmosphere couldn't be any better, very nice people with very good food. I can't wait to go back and try some of their home made sausages! read more

The best! My husband has been frequenting this hidden treasure for 10 years ( only during foot ball season) the home made pastas, meat balls, cutlets and proscuitto are amazing! The husband and wife owners are so kind! Outwardly, it is nothing fancy, but the quality of food makes up fir it! A gem! read more

This gem is a little bit of Boston's North End on the South Side of Waltham. As others have mentioned, it doesn't look like anything special from the outside, but inside is an authentic Italian market and deli. I went there today to buy a couple of Italian cold cut subs to go. The first thing I noticed when he handed me the bag was how heavy it was. These subs are built on a sub roll that looks like a loaf if Italian bread, and they don't skimp on the ingredients. Everything was fresh and delicious. Parking can be tough, but this place is worth parking a couple of blocks away and walking if necessary. I highly recommend you check this place out! read more

I used to work down the street from this pleasant shop. I went for lunch there at least once a week for two years. The food is splendid, the prices are amazing, and the owners are friendly and helpful. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in for a sub, soup, or salad. read more

This is the best authentic, home cooking Italian food you can ask for. I lived next door for 6 years and it was almost a second home. The proprietors, Luigi & Sarah, are extremely personable, and unless it's during one of their crazy (and it can get busy quick) lunch rushes, they'll strike up a conversation as much or as little as you like about just about anything. Everything is good there, but if you just want a sandwich, I highly recommend the Italian Special...but be careful. They're addictive and I still blame Luigi for the extra pounds I put on while I lived there haha :). read more

Last time I was in this place I did not particularly like it. I thought it was a bit "dirty-looking", maybe old stuff on some shelves, and Salem food owner was much more pleasant. But that was a while back so maybe the owner and the place is better now. Still, based on my prior visit I can't rate it high. read more
