This pizza spot has been my family's go-to since I was in high school, and coming back home for a visit meant we had to order from here. The nostalgia was real, and I was hoping the food would still taste like it used to -- and it totally delivered. We got a large Meat Mania pizza, a small buffalo chicken pizza, and 6 garlic knots. The Meat Mania was packed with all the classic meats and had a great ratio of toppings to cheese. The buffalo chicken pizza had a nice balance of spice and tang -- not overwhelming, just right. The garlic knots were more on the well-done side this time, so they were a bit chewy and harder to tear apart than usual, but they still had a rich buttery garlic flavor that paired really well with the pizza. I wouldn't say they were perfect this time, but I still enjoyed them. Everything tasted just like I remembered -- the kind of comfort food that hits different when you haven't had it in years. If they keep up this level of quality, I'll keep coming back every time I visit home. read more

Casa Della Luce - Italian Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

Stopped here for the first time while visiting RI. Cute little place! They even gave my daughter something to draw with to keep her entertained. The pizza slices they gave were huge! Definitely worth the price. The free bread rolls were good, I almost wish they had more seasoning or flavor though. The fettuccine Alfredo had fresh broccoli in it and was delicious. Also got penne vodka which was good as well, not too strongly flavored and cooked just right for firmness. The waitress was nice and checked in as well. We will stop again next year! read more

Nothing much here. While definitely not bad, there isn't anything good about the pizza here. Thin crust, a nice sauce and a decent cheese and crust but really nothing good about it. Perfectly edible and a place that ultimately is probably worth your time, but not a place that will be on my list to go back too. read more

Casa Della Luce used to be our go-to place for garlic knots, salads, pizza, and entrees. We went last night after a bit of a pause visiting. We were so disappointed. A few of the garlic knots were good, and two were burned. The wait person brought one of our two salads at the same time(?) as the pizza. We ate some pizza, which was crisp to the point of being difficult to eat. Definitely overcooked! Another wait person offered to box our leftover pizza, as our wait person had disappeared. We sat for a few more minutes, and the one entree we ordered finally arrived. A few minutes later, the salad I expected before dinner, arrived. I indicated I no longer wanted it, since I had expected it much earlier. The manager came over, and indicated that we would not be charged for the salad. What a bargain, not having to pay for the food I did not eat! To be clear, it was a Sunday night, and the restaurant was hardly busy. There were probably no more than five other tables, none with more than four people, and most with two. We are in no hurry to return. read more

I just wanna start by saying I love this restaurant. The food is phenomenal, best vodka sauce in town. but for years I have asked them and told them that they should stop packing the salads with their hot food. i haven't ordered in a long time and i forgot to ask them over the phone to be separate but I'm sorry if someone spends 30+ dollars on one meal that comes with a salad, but the salad is steaming hot that's disgusting. I'm literally a general manager of a restaurant and we would never pack a cold salad with a hot pasta. I truly hope you guys see this and learn from this experience. An extra paper bag doesn't kill business, but unhappy customers do. thank you. also i asked 2 times and re read the order not to have parmesan cheese added as a garnish and yet the kitchen put it anyways. also asked for extra sauce but not really seeing anything extra. i guess i'll go another 6 months without ordering. read more

If you just want a slice of pizza for a quick lunch this is your place. I have only tried their pizza and it is very good.

Stopped here for a late lunch. A hidden gem! Had the chicken piccata with vegetables. Unreal! Chicken was thin, tender and delicious! Vegetables were cooked to perfection! Friendly service. Don't let the pizza parlor decor dissuade you. Must visit! read more

Fresh pasta, great pizza, and relaxing atmosphere. Prices are reasonable. And you can get a slice if you don't want the whole pizza. read more

After a sunny walk on a nearby beach we were famished and stopped in for some pizza. They offer both Sicilian thick crust an NY style thin. The day was sunny and we had originally planned to dine indoors. A waitress assisting customers on the patio let us know to sit 'anywhere' and she would be with us shortly. Unfortunately, the music inside was loud and 'twangy'. No idea who it was and I'm not familiar with the style. It seemed more appropriate for at-home enjoyment, by those who appreciate the genre. We moved out into the sun. We selected a large, thin crust pizza to share and two adult beverages. Although the beer and wine selection is modest it covers a good range of choices. We saw others eating pizza by the slice and those slices are huge. Their '2 slices and a soda' option would certainly fill you up. Our pizza arrived. It looked well cooked and had a fair amount of toppings. At first bite the crust was crispy, but the pizza had. . . no flavor? Now this is my experience, and there are plenty of reviews that rave about the pizza. This is my experience. Take it or leave it. The thin crust was not as thin as I would expect on a NY style thin crust pizza. The very bottom of the dough was crispy at first, but between the outer crust and the sauce it was 'doughy'. The sauce is very bland. It is a light, crushed tomato variety, which I actually prefer over a heavy sauce. This sauce however would benefit by using San Marzano tomatoes for their 'bright' flavor and a bit of added garlic and/or oregano. Anything really. I couldn't taste the sauce at all. The cheese was 'sriingy' as we do love our pizza to be. Again, there was no real flavor associated with the cheese. Maybe if we got a pizza loaded with meat it would translate better. I ate one piece at the restaurant because it really wasn't worth the chewing effort. I re-cooked a slice at home in my skillet to cook the 'doughy' crust, and added basil and good olive oil after it was done cooking. That was a definite improvement. Unfortunately, the after affects were very unwelcome. Yes, I'm sure it was the pizza. Other than tea, it was the only thing I ate that day, so no doubt it was the pizza's revenge on my digestive tract. As you see, it didn't turn out at all well for us in the food department. The waitress was excellent. The prices are no surprise. The interior looked very clean. They use nice heavy silverware. Parmesan and hot pepper flakes were offered with the pizza. All good stuff. Not sure what happened with our experience being so different. Guess everyone has a bad day. read more

Casa Della Luce - Large, thin crust. 'Build your own' pizza. - Italian Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

Came here last week for a small family reunion of sorts. Oldest son is in college and middle son is serving in the military. The stars happened to align and everyone was home for a few short days. We decided to eat here. We were a party of 6. An older couple who came in about 5-10 minutes after us (I mean when we got seated there was another couple who just finished up, they left, their table got cleaned off and THEN this new couple came and sat at this table) got their orders taken before us and their food obviously came before ours as well. They also were offered the complimentary pizza slices that Casa always used to offer. But my last 4 or 5 trips here either they didn't give us the complimentary slices, or they didn't have any, or we had to ask to get them. So not sure what the deal is any more. My dish was very tasty. I had the veal Marsala. It was even better the day after. 2 of the pizzas we ordered were dry as hell. The taco pizza barely had any toppings on it. The meat was practically dehydrated. I think there was 1 or 2 crushed up tortilla chips. I think the whole thing had 2 tablespoons AT MOST of meat. The white clam pizza maybe had 5 clams worth of meat. No sauce. It needed olive oil or something. It needed a lot of help. And the toppings were in like the middle 4 inches of the pizza. So the crust was like 3 inches wide. I am not exaggerating. Please look at the photos. This trip may be one of my last here at Casas read more

1st time was yum. I'm looking forward to more and I crossed off bk as a regular meal. Yum

This is one of our favorite pizza spots in Westerly especially for a reasonable price. Only downside is they don't sell grinders, but if you're up for a pizza or a good meal, this is your place. The service is always friendly! read more

the Casa never disappoints us. today we had squash arancini as an appetizer and chicken picatta FABULOUS AS ALWAYs! our waitress was prompt and friendly. my only regret was they weren't serving SPinach and Artichoke soup my favorite. of course the pasta served with the chicken was homemade. it isn't fancy, but spotless and homey. reasonable prices too. ​ read more

We are frequent diners at Casa Della Luce. It's our favorite restaurant in town. The service here is always fantastic, no matter which server waits on us. They are attentive, come back to check on us, friendly and professional. The pasta that comes with most dishes is homemade and cooked to perfection. We recommend the eggplant fries as an appetizer, crispy on the outside and delicious eggplant wedges inside. They're served with marinara. The chicken Marsala is one of our favorites! In addition to the regular menu there are usually amazing specials for apps and entrees. You definitely need to taste the fresh, tasty dishes at Casa Della Luce! read more

We ordered a take-out eggplant pizza. It was $25, super dry & utterly flavorless. We had to add jarred pesto & parm at home to make it even remotely palatable. Extremely disappointing. read more

Casa has my favorite penne vodka around. I love the lunch portion. The garlic knots are great. They also have my favorite Arancini! Friendly staff. Patio in the summer! read more

We were in the area and didn't feel like going home to deal with dinner so Casa Della Luce came to the rescue. I quickly looked up restaurants in the area on Yelp and this one came up. It looked perfect. A quick stop for a delicious meal with no frills - my kind of place. We arrived Sunday night, just after their dinner rush and ended up being the only ones dining at that time. We felt bad but they still had a couple hours before closing and our server had a bunch left to do, so we didn't feel like, nor were we treated like we were inconveniencing them. We both started with a caesar salad and it was as delicious as our server mentioned. The romaine was crisp, and the caesar dressing had the right amount of tang to it. Definitely tasted homemade. Simple yet delicious. I had the Casa Special Pizza - Pepperoni, homemade meatballs, sausage, peppers, mushrooms,onions, Casa pizza sauce & mozzarella cheese. Each slice kept getting better and better as it cooled off a bit and as the toppings settled. The crust was thin and crispy. A great pizza. read more

When you get the slices in window much better than when ordering a pie to take home. Crust is thick and dry on take out. Small size for $25. So disappointing. We love their individual slices at counter. Why can't the take home be the same? Willing to spend more if take home would be the same. Waste of $56 for two pies. read more

HOMEMADE PASTA! All dishes are served with homemade pasta!! This wasn't even mentioned on the menu but I knew immediately upon that first bite. I clarified with our server, Cassidy. I want to take a moment to discuss the superb service we were provided by Cassidy. I waitressed for 14 years at all types of restaurants- super fancy, waterside hot spots, casual mom and pop places, etc. I understand everything that goes into exemplary service. Cassidy went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. When I asked for crayons for my nephew she came back with a digitized etch-a-sketch thing that made so much more sense for the rest. Business (crayons break and wind up everywhere, they are difficult to sanitize, and require frequent replacing). My nephew hadn't eaten all day. The day before, we ordered pasta with butter at very popular restaurant that shall not be named. It was disgusting. Over cooked, mushy, not even hot. Truly, how a place could charge 10$ for a kids bowl of nasty A$$ gruel is beyond me. When he tried the pasta that Cassidy brought out very quickly, he immediately said "mmmmm" and did his thing. All of our dishes were great and fairly priced. My sister took a bite of her husband's chicken parm and liked that more than her scampi. Being the awesome dude that he is, he switched plates. Cassidy made sure to come over and say that she noticed this swap and she would be more than happy to replace my sister's dish with something else. That wasn't necessary, my B.I.L. We joyed the scampi- but think about that. When was the last time a server noticed something like that and proactively offered to exchange your entree? Superb service is not just being polite and responsive- it's anticipating and being proactive. When my sis asked for plain rolls for my nephew because he can't eat the garlic, she offered for them to bake a whole new round. Again, we didn't accept that offer because it wasn't necessary. Still, it was noteworthy. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a great "home cooked" meal with fresh pasta and Cassidy, the G.O.A.T server ! read more

CASA is my go-to workday lunch destination. There's always a variety of fresh, delicious slices to choose from for those in a hurry, and plenty of salad, sandwich, & pasta options on the menu. The service is always spot-on - thanks, Rachel - and a nice quiet atmosphere to enjoy as you see fit. Highly recommended. read more

Casa Della Luce is hands down our favorite pizza in RI not to mention all their entree's. We have been going here since we moved up from NY 3 years ago and never had a bad meal! PS. The service here is also A++ read more

Our waitress was very friendly and she gave great service. I had a chicken parmigiana hot grinder and.....well....so.....it was not good. Dry, chewy, no sauce and just overcooked. read more

Overall: Easily 4 stars. Great food promptly prepared at a great value. Parking: 5 stars. Open parking up front and plenty of it. Service: 5 stars. Friendly and courteous. Ambiance: 3 stars. This time the place was a bit loud even though there were not that many customers. The loudness of the place came from the kitchen staff who was busy carrying on a very loud conversation. Very annoying. read more

Pizza was very good. It was like a NYC pizza. Thin crispy crust with sauce all the way close to the edge. Service was great with very friendly servers. Highly recommended!!!! read more

Many people go to sit down and dine --- my favorite is the meat pizza. Order takeout and we have dinner and each of us have lunch for two days!!! This is a 'loaded' pizza! Enjoy:)) read more

My husband and I would absolutely recommend this place! We thought the food was fantastic, price was not as expensive as it could've been for the area and they have the option of indoor or outdoor dining. We went on a Thursday evening and it was very busy. They did not seem to have enough help so it took a very long time to get the food and our waitress could have probably checked in a bit more. I had the homemade pasta with meatballs, which I thought was a decent size and very tasty. My husband had the chicken marsala with homemade pasta and clam chowder which he thought was also delicious. Neither of us were fans of the garlic knots. read more

My family has been going here the last few years when we vacation in Watch Hill and we are always greeted with smiling faces! This is a great local spot that serves delicious classic Italian. I love their Chicken Parm. My daughter loves there spaghetti and meatballs. Prices are reasonable and staff is friendly! Highly recommend! read more

Average food, definitely not an upscale location. pizza is better than most in this area. Sister company with vetranos and Victoria's

What a surprise. Great Italian in a small strip mall. The food was excellent and abundant. Salad for first course the a huge Veal Parm Chop over Linguini. Our waitress was a delight. And the best part was it was light on the bank account. read more

Very good food known as the local spot for good Italian and pizza. You could definitely tell all was home made in the food and desserts. read more

Forgot to post last night, but we have been here several times now, and don't believe that last nights visit was up to the usual standards. To start, my 3 star rating has nothing to do with the wait staff-- our waitress was great and right on. The kitchen was obviously very busy. You can see into the open kitchen. We ordered Garlic Knots with marinara sauce as an appetizer. Needless to say, they were quite dark and just short of burned. We didn't even get them until after our dinner arrived. Not the servers fault. We got our salads- they were good. My husband ordered lasagna. He loved it with lots of meat and cheese. I had a special of Homemade cavetelli with crabmeat, tomatoes, broccoli and garlic. This was disappointing. Presentation is a big deal, and this wasn't pretty. The pasta was good, definitely homemade. When I saw fresh crabmeat on the menu, that's what I expected but not what I got. It was definitely imitation crab meat. It was all just sitting in oil as opposed to a nice sauce. The concept was a great thought, I just wish there was better execution of the idea for the simple ingredients that made up this special. Like I said, it was ok but disappointing. We will be back though; this was not typical as far as we are concerned. read more

consistently excellent food and service. Especially server Rachel. If you see her, smile mention this review. She com some positive ju ju. She promotes the restaurant whenever she has an opportunity.

Yep, three years later and still amazing pizza, amazing pasta, amazing staff. We have not once been disappointed in the last three years since my first review. I do wish they had a better craft brew selection, but I would rather have perfect pizza instead! I'm telling you, the pizza and pasta will NOT disappoint. read more

Definitely a hidden gem in this area. Very Cozy spot for lunch or dinner. We were greeted by friendly staffs, and were given some thin cheese slices for snack while we browse the menu. My wife and I picked the basics (see photo) - Fettucini Alfredo with Chicken - Penne alla Vodka Very generous lunch portion and both pasta were out of this world. Home made pasta had great texture and sauce tasted very natural. Can't wait to come back again soon! read more

Casa Della Luce - Lunch Special (Very filling!) Fettuccini Alfredo (+ Chicken) Penne alla Vodka - Italian Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

Just ordered takeout. We ordered 2 clam chowders, we were informed that they were "out of the fritters" fine, but you still charged us the regular price? $6.00 for a tiny cup of chowder, maybe 4oz? That didn't come with the fritters. So basically, $12 for what would equal a small bowl of chowder. It's not even good, way too much butter/fat and flour. Maybe the fritters would have been the saving grace? The kids pasta and meatballs looked literally thrown into the container. The kids chicken and fries looked less sloppy, but that's to be expected. The pepperoni pizza tastes OK, but is small for the price. We'll never go back, way better options for the money. They should be ashamed charging $6 for a minuscule amount of chowder that didn't include the fritters that are supposed come with it. Don't waste your time here. Go somewhere else to get quality food with people that take pride in what they do. read more

Yelp wants a review every time we go. It's always awesome as well as the help. Merry Christmas

Great Food Great Service The service is wonderful. They offer Italian entrees, but the pizza is good too. Good luncheon specials read more

I will admit...driving up I thought "this will be disappointing." Driving away I wondered "can I come back tomorrow?" Homemade pasta, yum. Strong pizza game. Fresh salad. A veggie special (grilled skewers with balsamic). Draft beer. Friendly service. All of it was outstanding. I'd come back here in a second. I loved the Westerly pizza but I swiped some of my daughter's pasta and next time I'll order my own plate of it. You should too. read more
