We've been to Casa Mia twice now and it was incredible both times. You must order the burrata, which comes with a large portion of cheese and the best prosciutto I've ever tasted (so fresh). Bread is free, served to every table with delicious olive oil and vinegar. I really appreciate the free bread, not many places do this anymore and it's just such a nice touch. The bread pairs perfectly with the burrata. For the mains my husband ordered the tagliatelle which comes with bolognese sauce. He got this both times we came because it's just that good. I ordered the gnocchi the first time and the paccheri the second time. Both so delicious. The gnocchi was very rich and creamy with lots of mushrooms. The gnocchi pasta had a great flavor and texture. The paccheri comes with a huge portion of sauce with sausage and tomatoes and basil, the flavor is amazing. The pasta itself (paccheri noodle) is the best noodle I've ever had, cooked perfectly al dente, it has such a nice texture, so chewy. You can tell everything is homemade and fresh. For drinks we both got a glass of the Cabernet which was very nice, $15/glass. Something shocking happened at a table next to us at our most recent visit. Our table was right next to the kitchen. One of the waitresses was bringing our pastas to our table and she slipped walking down the steps from the kitchen to the dining room. She accidentally dropped my plate of pasta which caused the ceramic dish to break into many pieces. Obviously this is an accident and the waitress feels awful dropping a plate of fresh food, who would want to make her feel any worse?? The table next to us. A table of four, two couples. That table was incredibly rude, started yelling that the "glass" flew and hit one of the men and demanding the entire meal be comped. The dish wasn't even glass lady... I was shocked by this woman's behavior - she was speaking so loudly, bad mouthing the restaurant, demanding meal be free, cussing, saying they're never coming back and that it's a terrible restaurant. Just nasty behavior. It was my pasta dish so that means we waited longer to get a new plate. Did I care?? Absolutely not. I felt awful to all the staff at the restaurant that had to interact with this person. Her husband finally started telling her to calm down and sent her out to wait in the car while they finished paying. During this whole interaction my husband and I just observed the madness and waited patiently for our food without a complaint. Two waiters (maybe owners?) came over and asked us if we were okay, apologized, and offered a free glass of wine. We didn't want the wine, or anything for free, but they insisted. We talked to our waiter about how rude they were being and agreed that it's best if that group never returned. I felt called to write this review to show how incredible this restaurant truly is, not just because their food is so tasty and fresh. We had so many staff come to our table and be so kind, generous, and warm. I can imagine this rude woman might go leave a negative review and I just need people who read reviews to know the truth - the lady was the problem NOT the restaurant. I can't understand this behavior, so entitled and ignorant. Thank you to everyone at Casa Mia, we had a wonderful night and will be coming back and bringing our loved ones. By the way - we live in downtown Phoenix so we drive about 30 min to get to Casa Mia, and it's 100% worth it. read more

Casa Mia is my favorite local Italian restaurant. The food is incredibly flavorful. Every time we go, I'm reminded why we keep coming back. It feels authentic and made with care, and the staff is always warm and welcoming. It's the kind of place you're happy to recommend to friends because you know they'll have a great meal. read more

Casa Mia - Lobster Ravioli - special that night - Italian Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Thought I'd give an Italian restaurant a try and this place was a very nice experience. I was promptly greeted upon arrival and seated at a comfortable table. The menu was quite large and I decided to go simple. I started with the Cesare salad. It was good but far from special and definitely not exceptional. It was served in what appeared to be a soup bowl which seemed a bit strange. The Caesar dressing was quite ordinary and the salad presentation was what I'd expect in a 3 star restaurant. My entree was the Spaghetti Puttanrsca. It was a nice blend of pasta, meats and spices. Served at the right temperature, it was unique and very flavorful and not too spicy. The dish does not appear on the online menu so I presume it's a newer item. For dessert I had the Coconut Sorbet. I should note there was no dessert menu and the waiter went over the choices with me. The Coconut Sorbet was rich and creamy although frozen quite hard. Overall I give the restaurant 4 stars. The service was excellent and the restaurant comfortable and inviting. The bar area was crowded which demonstrates the popularity of this location. I give it my recommendation. read more

We made reservations on a Saturday night and we were seated right away. I immediately loved how the tables are all spread out and you don't feel crowded. It is an older crowd so it is nice and quiet.

Casa Mia - Inside - Italian Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Had date night there on a Saturday night- we were seated in the back table with ambient lighting. The restaurant isn't big but a quaint experence. The server was friendly, attentive but not overbearing. Management let us stay to talk after hours while they cleaned up. Closed at 9pm on a Saturday night (too early for my taste) to close at 9pm on a Saturday night. I had a pasta dish with chicken, sauce, olives- the sauce was good but not great. Italian food seems to be about sauces and this sauce was average. The server was excellent and unfortunately I forget his name. A bit of information about the restaurant. Casa Mia prides itself on serving the authentic Italian Cuisine experience. Their story is that the owners' family moved to the United States in 1993 from Sorrento, Italy (near Naples in the province of Napoli). Casa Mia means "my home," so they appear to have named it for a place to feel like home. The owners state their ingredients are homemade pastas, organic produce, and now organic grass fed beef. I thought the food was good but not great but the service made up for it. I had the expresso martini it was excellent so I didn't taste the wines. All and all a good experience and I would go back. read more

We had my family in town & wanted to try out this local restaurant- only 1 mile from our house. The food & service was top notch- would definitely go back. We had the Rosato, chicken prosciutto with mushroom cream, some hot sausage pasta dish & Caesar salad. I must also share that I was disappointed that I made our reservations on Open Table & looked at the menu so I knew what I wanted to order. They must have an old menu because the prices were quite elevated for every selection. Increase of $5-10 on everything so that's one downfall on my first experience. You think one thing & get another! 4 star for the food & service - lack of 1 star for proper pricing. read more

We came for New Years Eve dinner service. Restaurant was busy but staff was attentive and prompt. We ordered the tomato soup, Caesar salad, lobster ravioli, and sausage & broccoli Strascinati. They forgot to bring the salad which was unfortunate but they more than made up for it with a tiramisu on the go as an apology. The food was divine, very tasty. Nothing to complain about whatsoever. Ambiance was great, I had a delicious glass of wine. The table bread was fantastic - the exact style I like. We're only a few miles from Casa Mia and can't wait to come back soon! We noticed they have a sister restaurant next door called CM Pizzaria which is on our short list. read more

If I'm being honest, I don't like writing 1 star reviews but this was necessary. I'm going to walk you through our evening, which was supposed to be a romantic Valentine's Day dinner, we get to Casa Mia and we're seated immediately because of our reservation. 15 minutes go by and no waiter. At this point we are getting frustrated but understand it was Valentine's Day. (I want to mention it was pretty empty). Finally, our waiter comes over and here's how that went: he did not tell us his names (no worries sometimes people forget to do that), he did not give us a drink menu (this was odd), he did not ask us if we wanted anything to drink (I'm not sure if that is typical here but we didn't not get drinks) and the best part instead of him asking what we wanted to eat he quite literally just stared at us (we wanted to ask questions about the menu but it felt as though it got shunned off) 20 minutes go by from us ordering our food, at this point (45 minutes in) we had no silverware or plates and our waters had only been refilled once (this was the entire time). Our waiter came back over and asked us "do we have room for dessert" to which I replied (as kindly as possible) "we have not gotten our food yet". He looked at us and said "where is your silverware" to which I replied again "we have not gotten our silverware yet." He went back to the kitchen and let them know to bring our food, and of course, they brought the wrong food! They then brought the correct food but at this point we just wanted to go home. I got the gnocchi and my boyfriend got the tortellini, nothing special. I looked around the restaurant to see if he had acted this way to any other tables and I noticed the "regulars" got special treatments (eager goodbyes and hellos, some hugs, lots of laughs and chit chatting), us newbies were left out to the side. We finally got our checks and left. On the receipt his name was "ghost" which checks out because the entire night we were ghosted. read more

It's not my first time to eat at Casa Mia but this is the first time I'm writing a review. Now, I remember why we do not frequent the place considering it's a walking distance from home. The food at Casa Mia is very tasty but very, very rich. If you have issues with cream, high fat content, rich good....this is NOT the place to go for pasta. Stick to salad and little bit of their soup. The service for the night we were there was not very good. We had to flag our server to take our orders, more water, and for dessert. Oh, we received our check before we were served our dessert. When we told him we didn't get our dessert yet, he double checked the tab to make sure we ordered dessert when he was the one who took our order. This is a small restaurant which can make it not conducive to having conversations. It tends to be loud and you will end up hearing complete conversations of other customers dining in the restaurant. read more

Arrived at 530 - was seated at a tiny corner table - not large enough for two adults and awkward sitting in a corner. Ordered the chicken with mashed potatoes and veggies. ( I should have ordered traditional pasta ) . The mushroom sauce had no flavor. The chicken was just ok and I don't know what the veggies even were as they were submerged in all the mushroom gravy. The staff is not overt friendly. Disappointing. Have lived here since 1994 and have been coming since they were in their first location in this strip mall . read more

Simply Italian food that is made properly with portions that fill you up The pasta is good and the sauces freshly cooked

Some friends invited us to dinner and suggested Casa Mia which is about a mile behind the Mayo Clinic off of Shea Blvd. in the foothills.  We read the reviews on Yelp before we went and felt we might be in for a interesting dinner.   We ordered a bottle of wine and appetizers of homemade Italian sausage & Calamari as we arrived. Both were delicious!  Some of us ordered martinis which were tasty and served in an oversizes glass. As for dinner, we had the Halibut and the homemade raviolis with bolognese sauce -- again, both were really very good.  Our friends ordered the Veal Saltimbocca and some of their chicken dishes.  We were there for about three hours.  We never felt rushed or that the wait staff was running around without their heads on. The owner's son came over a few times and chatted with us and all the food was served hot and in unison. read more

What a great find! Hospitality, fast service, flavorful food = this place is a hit! Broad menu that focuses on the best of Italian, we were quite pleased with everything. Fantastic fresh bread with oils to start before he Burrata appetizer. They brought two large balls of cheese with cherry tomato compote, lemon, mint, prosciutto, and a dash of fig syrup " the whole dish proved outstanding. The Caesar salad we split ... not hard to mess up, though perhaps a bit too much dressing (said my wife). For mains, I went with the Risotto di Andrea (three large scallops over risotto with sausage, pancetta, and a bit of balsamic to taste), while TWTWIRBM enjoyed (like nearly licked the bowl) the Strascinati (round, flat pastas about the size of a silver dollar + broccoli and Montasio cheese with a bit of a white cream sauce). Delicious on all fronts. Somehow, we had room to go for dessert (which was a surprise, as the portions were filling). The Tiramisu delivered, no question. Go and enjoy Casa Mia ... you should love it! read more

Perfect family dinner! Birthdays celebrated! We've been here many times and knew it'd be the best!

The atmosphere, food, and wait staff were amazing! I am so happy this place is walking distance to my house because it will be nice to walk for some wine and cheese or a nearby dinner on nice nights. Looking forward to my next meal here already! read more

Casa Mia - Chicken parm- not on the menu but they will make it for you! With pink sauce pasta on the side - Italian Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Food was flavorful and the space is nice for a date night or small group dinner. Would come back

Food is great and a little constructive criticism. A high end restaurant should never put menus on people's plates.Everyone knows menus are filthy.Especially during post pandemic times.Also either get table clothes that are changed out or don't put silverware directly on the table.Dont hand people silverware. Put it on a plate with napkin and let them pick it up.Condoments should be cleaned and refreshed after each customer.Tell the bus Boys no long hair that they have to keep running their fingers through to keep out of their eyes.Also if they wipe something off the floor tell them not to put the rag in their back pocket,but get a new one.No one wants to see a table get wiped down with a floor rag.Lastly don't reach over people's plates.Walk around the table.These things are okay at Dennys but not high end restrictions. read more

Casa Mia is located in a small shopping center at the base of Scottsdale Mountain. It is nothing fancy but solid food and most of the time good service. This time we popped in for early dinner on Friday, had the owner wait on us, my spaghetti bolognese was great and the calamari fra diavlo appetizer was good as well. They do have nice choices for Italian reds, which is great. The bartender was also flexible with my grapefruit martini, so all in all good solid place to visit if you don't want to go too far away from Sm or FH. read more

Delicious food and great drinks. Great service too. We usually go here with friends and always have a great time.

My family has been coming to Casa Mia for many years and it has remained the best Italian food in Scottsdale! Each dish offers a generous portion (though you probably would not want to share) with delicious flavors. My personal favorites are the tortellini and the pappardelle but honestly, everything is good here. Highly recommend if you are looking for authentic Italian food in a comfortable environment! read more

Overall this place wasn't horrible just not sure if I'd come here again, especially since it's a little out of the way if a lot of things. To start off, I understand it's hard for places to seat large parties, but when I say we were CRAMMED into a table, we were CRAMMED. The food was pretty tasty and it came out hot which is a plus. For the price though I would've expected a little more. Serving sizes were a little small for the price. Maggianos little Italy restaurant is maybe a 20 minute drive from Casa Mia and you get way more bang for your buck. Plus I feel like quality of food is similar, so if you're looking for pasta I would just make the drive over there. Staff was friendly so that boost the score to maybe a 3.5. Again not horrible, but definitely some better Italian restaurants nearby I would rather choose. read more

Very good Italian food so close to my house, really enjoyed my dinner here. Started dinner with octopus salad (not on the menu but was special on that day). Really loved that tangy salad dressing. Portion size is large, could possibly just have that for dinner. Good octopus should have nice texture and theirs had that. I was going to have pasta but decided to go with gnocchi after seeing the list of cheese they use. Gnocchi was prepared perfect. Combination of cheese and quality cheese with nice texture of gnocchi made this dish so good. Casual ambiance, fancy price, excellent service and great food. I couldn't drink on this particular night I came in but a table next me had a bottle of wine. Based on wine glass I saw, I am looking forward to coming back to pair my dinner with a nice glass of red wine. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for years. With so many restaurants in Scottsdale, there are so many other choices. Finally, we had the opportunity. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. The service was not up to par for a restaurant that is pricey. I believe that the owner that night was the one who took our order. We started with a cocktail and a glass of wine. They have a nice selection of wines. We were given the menu and barely had a chance to review it when we were asked for our order. He came back within a few minutes. My dad ordered a bowl of Straccetela soup along with the Veal Saltimbocca. I ordered the special of the day, Chilean Sea Bass. After waiting almost 15 minutes, we were asked if everything was ok. We advised him that we were still waiting for the soup. We were told he didn't hear my dad order it. I guess it was an honest mistake. With that being said, my dad did enjoy it. He finished the soup, and another waiter came and asked if that was all for us. We were obviously waiting for our meal. The evening continued with the same type of service. The dishes finally came out after another 15 minutes. The veal dish was good, and my Sea Bass as well. I was hoping to be wowed, especially after so many great reviews! We were never asked if we would like another glass of wine. It was a Wednesday evening with not much activity. All in all, we were very much disappointed with the service. The food was good, although I have had better. I'm glad we tried Casa Mia, but sadly, we won't be back. read more

Worth the drive, cute place with exceptional food. Our service was excellent and super fast. The calamari was the best we have ever had, seriously cooked to perfection. My husband had the tagliatelle and the French 75 cocktail, which he said was incredibly strong (no complaints). I had the gnocchi and it was perfect, texture and oh so creamy. Anyone complaining about the serving size belongs at Olive Garden and not this immaculate place. read more
