Been wanting to try this place for a while because I enjoy fusion food. Came here on a Saturday when they opened and had no problem getting a table for 6 including 2 kids. Good place for kids since they have high chairs and kid meals. I don't recall if they had a diaper station in the bathroom, that might have been limit. Ambiance is cute and cozy like you're dining in someone's homey restaurant. Particular enjoyed the mushroom pizza and the uni cheesy pasta. read more

We'd been waiting weeks to go here, mostly because when my class ended was around when the restaurant would close we eventually finally made it in time about an hour and a half before closing. the interior design feels really DIY but i thought it was a cute design, really gave me teacup party vibes. the food was good, i think next time i'd order different things but whatever pizza we ordered had an overwhelming amount of cheese. honestly i heard a lot of hype about this place but i learned soon after that there are two different locations so i'm really interested in what different with this and the other. read more

I absolutely love Japanese Italian fusion type of restaurants in Socal and happily to find out about La Casa Mia in the Bay Area! It reminds me of Spoon House, Unico, Akane Chaya combined from Gardena & Redondo Beach. With that being said, I appreciate that I could order uni or mentaiko pasta and bring home leftovers. I love their honey mustard karaage and the mentaiko cream pasta along along with other offerings. Their cute beverages with the snow cone ball is a nice touch! read more

I had a reservations for a Friday lunch at 1 but it wasnt required. The store was completely empty so it was actually kind of nice to have the place to ourselves. The one server was super kind and interacted with my littles. Food portions were larger than expected, and dedinitely could have been a sharable. Food was well seasoned and delicious; nothing seemed bland or lackluster. We were celebrating a birthday and had the plesant surprise that the birthday girl got a little ice cream treat with a candle at the end. I need to be on a low carb diet, but I really want to come back to try all the pastas. I didnt know Japanese Italian fusion was a thing! read more

What a great find! La Casa Mia had been on my list of places to try for a while, and it did not disappoint. I made a reservation for a Thursday dinner at 6 PM, and we were greeted and seated right away. The service was warm and attentive from the start. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary salad and vegetable soup, both of which were a wonderful way to begin the meal. The mentaiko pasta was the highlight of the evening, rich, creamy, savory, and full of flavor. Since we had noted on our reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, the restaurant also treated us to a complimentary scoop of ice cream with a birthday candle, which was such a thoughtful touch. The host was incredibly kind and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. Between the excellent service, delicious food, and welcoming atmosphere, La Casa Mia made our celebration feel extra special. We will definitely be back for future birthdays and special occasions! read more

I dream about their cod roe pasta, it's literally the best I have ever had. Like next level pasta! We went as a big group for my sister's birthday, and they were pretty accommodating and nice. We had them keep our cake in the back fridge which they charged us for, but it wasn't too much. The pastas are the way to go! The pizzas were alright and the drinks were also okay, but get the pasta!!! read more

I always wanted to try this place since I heard of it but never got the chance until recently. Fusion food has never been my favorite cuisine but the combination of Italian/Japanese piqued my interest. [[ Location ]] It's in a familiar plaza in Milpitas most noticeably with the Lion's Grocery Store but it has a ton of other stores in the area too. There is plenty of parking but it can get crowded sometimes when its busy (aka lunch/dinner) but you'll always find parking. You might have to walk a bit further. [[ Restaurant ]] In my opinion, the first thing you will notice is that this place is SMALL. It's really nicely decorated inside but it just feels small overall. It wasn't too busy when we went but I can see it filling up on the weekends. [[ Service ]] I'm not sure if they normally do this but they went around and gave us free salad and a cup of soup to anyone who wanted it in the restaurant. I thought that was a nice surprise and a nice touch that made the dining experience really nice. Also I'm a huge fan of their free birthday treat. Most places just give you a small piece of cake or something but La Casa Mia gives you multiple scoops of ice cream and a nice happy birthday sign at the end of the meal. I thought that was really touching and the whole group was able to enjoy the ice cream without feeling like we had to control how big of a spoon we got. [[ Food ]] I feel like we got to try most of the more interesting food here but the group got the following: 1.) French Fries with Truffle Oil 2.) Carbonara with Udon ($2 add on) 3.) Mentaiko Mayo Mochi Cheese Pizza 4.) Salmon Shimeji Mushroom Risotto with Noodles Overall i think they did a good job with the balance. The Japanese / Italian flavors were equally balanced and nothing felt overpowering which made the dishes very good and easy for hesitant people who haven't had fusion food before. I don't think there is a dish I did not like and I was very happy with the meal. I think the most fun to eat was the Mochi Cheese Pizza because I did not think Mochi would be a good substitute for the carbs of a pizza but it worked just fine and tasted spectacular. The French Fries with Truffle Oil was also really good but I thought the portion sizes were too small. read more

I grew up visiting this area for various Asian restaurants, and did not expect Italian to make an appearance. I came here for a weekend family lunch and was able to appreciate their smaller portions. I typically can't finish my own pasta at American / Italian restaurants so it was refreshing to see something under $20 One lady was servicing the entire restaurant and handled everything really well. Overall a great spot for a family get together or small group gatherings. read more

What a little gem! The service here and the presentation of all the food is very Japanese, which means polite and beautiful. All the food was absolutely delicious and the fact that they were so visually appealing, made it that much more extra. Looking from the outside I would not have thought this place was so good! If you like any pasta this is pretty darn good. I also got to try a bite of my son's seafood pasta which I thought was also really good. I definitely recommend this restaurant, and I look forward to coming back. The only downside is the space is actually quite small. It would not be good for big groups, and you most likely to wait for a table. read more

It's been on my to-go list for a long time and I finally got a chance to visit. I love the earthy and homey aesthetic; it made me feel at home. It's spacious and has plenty of seating. My group did have to wait awhile for the food to come out but the service was attentive. Payment comes in a little bucket which I thought was cute. I definitely would come back to try their other menu items~! Food: - Mentaiko Cream: saucy, noodles were well-cooked. gave a generous amount of cod roe with the pasta - Carbonara: the bacon definitely completes the meal, toppings were proportioned well with the pasta. read more

Wow! It's so great to have this spot in Milpitas. We love Japanese Italian fusion and had been looking for a local spot to get our fix. Very cute decor in the restaurant, almost like a garden or afternoon tea vibe which we really liked. The servers were very nice and were able to point out what items on the menu were vegetarian for my family family. We wound up getting the Pomodoro, the mushroom melody pizza the katsu pasta and the uni, with some bread and fries as appetizers. The bread was very fresh, warm, and fluffy. Very tasty. The fries were interesting, clearly fresh cut single fry fries, so don't expect a super crispy fry, but the potato taste was quite nice. The mushroom pizza was a highlight, we loved the combination of the asian mushrooms, lots of umami with a nice crisp crust, highly recommend this one. My uni pasta was great, perfectly seasoned, salty with a fresh seafood aroma from the uni and the ikura salmon roe, I would get this again in a heartbeat. Desserts were decent, I was hoping to get the Match panacotta but they were out. We got some ice cream and the Casatta instead which was ok, I would probably skip the Casatta in the future and hope to get the panacotta instead. All in all this is a very solid pasta spot with reasonable prices. We will definitely be back! read more

[Food] - Seafood Pescatore Rosso ($23): Made with shrimp, mussels, scallop, clam, octopus, tomato sauce & parsley. One of my favorite dishes here! - Yuzu Clam Pasta: Made with white wine sauce and comes with yuzu kosho on the side. Loved this dish the most! I hope they keep this on their permanent menu as this was part of the limited time special menu. Unfortunately I forgot price of this but it was around the $20 range. - Lunch Plate Special ($18): Comes with pizza of the day, soup, salad, and your choice of pasta. My bf picked the Mentaiko cream pasta. Definitely a good deal for lunch! - French Fries w/ Truffle Oil Sauce ($9): Fries were nicely fried and seasoned. The sauce was yummy as the truffle wasn't too overwhelming. - Japanese Mushroom Melody Pizza ($29): Made with a white sauce with shimeji, maitake, shiitake mushrooms, & mozzarella. For me the white sauce was a bit too heavy, and having tried the Mentaiko Mayo Mochi Cheese Pizza at their Santa Clara location, I think I enjoyed that much more as it was more balanced. My bf's mom loved this though! - Matcha Tiramisu ($8): I would call this more of a parfait than tiramisu. Wasn't too sweet and nicely balanced with the cream, mochi, and jelly. [Service] - Super polite, friendly, attentive & helpful [Ambiance] - Nicely decorated like a cute Japanese cafe [Overall] - Would definitely come back! Especially for the Mentaiko Mayo Mochi Cheese Pizza, Seafood Pescatore Rosso, the lunch plate special and the Yuzu Clam Pasta! read more

Such a cute restaurant with delicious food! They have interesting and unique dishes. We tried several of their pasta and a pizza. Would love to see more pasta options maybe in the future, currently it's fresh spaghetti or udon for a little extra. Price is reasonable and we were served salad and soup as soon as we sat down. Came on a weeknight and was seated immediately. There was only one staff working out front and she was so kind and friendly! read more

Got to try La Casa Mia again, this time in Milpitas! This location's interior is very cozy. I ordered the Carbonara and Truffle Fries. They oddly came out at the same time, I would have preferred some time apart. But that's okay, still delicious :) The truffle fries are so long and I love the aioli it comes with. Carbonara super creamy and delicious. Poached egg on top and everything was perfect. Pasta was the perfect al dente too. read more

We decided to grab dinner here this past Sunday. The online ordering system on the website wasn't working (it would not accept payments), so we ordered by phone and paid on site when picking up. Our order was ready by the quoted wait time of 30 minutes. Service was standard and sufficient. The place had a cute interior setting. The plaza lot was crowded but not impossible to find parking. We got the salmon shimeji mushroom risotto, veggie pomodoro, and side salad which was very colorful. The pomodoro had tiny bits and pieces of vegetables but it was so little that it felt like eating plain noodles with tomato sauce. A bit disappointing. The risotto was better, a nice mix of salmon, mushrooms, and fish eggs. It was creamy and delish, even if the size of the dish was tiny. I'm giving 3 stars based on value and overall experience. read more

It's our go to spot for Japanese Italian food! All the pasta dishes were made well, al dente. The environment is relaxed. Perfect for a family lunch or a date. Service is attentive and friendly also. The only thing was the salmon shimeji mushroom risotto was on the saltier end. I had added mentaiko which made it even more salty. read more

Ambiance: very adorable Japanese cafe style. From interior to menu design is very cute. Service: the staff is welcoming and helpful. They are considerate and careful with orders and serving. Food: the mustard chicken is in bigger chunks than karaage, but the flavor and crispiness is great! The season limited yuzu pepper clam pasta is a bit pity. The sauce is too light and the yuzu pepper paste only comes with a little bit. On the contrary and seared salmon pasta is flavorful and strong with Asian fusion flavors. read more

The fusion food here is so unique and yummy. The mentaiko mochi pizza is so delicious, flavorful, and has very strong mentaiko flavor so if you're into that it's super yummy. The mochi chunks are also so chewy and fresh. Such a unique way to eat mochi that's savory. Even the carbonara pasta was so creamy and comforting. The bacon wasn't too overpowering and I enjoyed the small bits. The pork cutlet in the spaghetti pasta was also really good and lightly crispy and very juicy. We really enjoyed everything. I think this is the perfect place to try something new and eat out with friends. It's pretty small inside with a cozy atmosphere. read more

To celebrate a friend's birthday, we decided to try Japanese-Italian fusion and landed on La Casa Mia, drawn by its solid reviews. We ordered the cheese mochi pizza, salmon shimeji mushroom spaghetti, and risotto. The mochi cheese pizza was the clear highlight. You can taste the mochi texture throughout. We were debating whether mochi was blended into the dough or the cheese. Definitely worth trying if you're a mochi lover. The Salmon Shimeji Mushroom Spaghetti is listed as one of the more popular pasta dishes, and it earned that reputation. The cream and seafood flavors blended nicely. The risotto, however, was a bit of a letdown as it was way too salty for our taste. Since I mentioned we were celebrating a birthday, our waitress brought a sweet touch: two scoops of ice cream with a candle. We also ordered the matcha tiramisu, which was pleasant but not particularly memorable -- not overly sweet, but nothing that lingered either. Overall, La Casa Mia is a solid spot for Japanese-Italian fusion. I'd come back to explore more of the menu. read more

This is a cute restaraunt and service was good. Staff was nice and friendly. Came here for lunch when it opened and there was no wait. We got the mentaiko cream pasta and the meat sauce pork cutlet spaghetti. I wanted to enjoy this place, however the mentaiko cream pasta was a bit fishy tasting and not flavorful enough. The pork cutlet meat sauce spaghetti was not bad but also not amazing. Could use more meat sauce and flavor as well. I will probably try the other location some time to give it another try and see if it's any better. read more

MY friend and I came on a weekday at open, as we don't like to wait. We were seated quickly. What a cute spot! The decor is very instagram worthy and easy on the eyes. The food itself was okay. I don't think there's anything special about it, but it's fun with the atmosphere. Service was quick and friendly, but food wise... I wasn't impressed. I would still go back and try it again, but first impress was just ok, def could have been better. I found the food lacking in flavor. read more

I had the pleasure of trying this restaurant recently with my cousin. It was a pleasant experience. The decor is so cute too. We ordered the chicken karaage, spaghetti carbonara pasta, and the mentaiko pizza. Surprisingly big portion. I liked everything we ordered. I don't get Italian-Japanese fusion often so the flavors felt new-ish to me. Carbonara is excellent. I don't like cream pasta but that one, I can eat the whole bowl for sure. Would love to try their other pastas. The mentaiko pizza is salty for my taste but still not bad. The chicken kaarage they gave us is huge. Also nice and crispy. Chicken was cooked well. As for the service, it feels like you're in Japan. She's very kind and quick. Works very hard. Please be patient with her, she's the only one serving everyone and she does a phenomenal job. I will certainly be back! read more

Japanese and Italian fusion works! I came here on a Thursday night with no reservations. Luckily, we were able to be accommodated. The place was decently packed and there was a steady stream of customers coming in. I ordered the salmon shimeji spaghetti and the mentaiko spaghetti. You get your choice of spaghetti or udon noodles but these two dishes were one of the most popular dishes. I ordered the baguette with their whipped butter as an appetizer. The baguette was plain but the whipped butter was so nice and light with a touch of smokiness. I anticipated that the mentaiko spaghetti was going to be overly salty and creamy but I shouldn't assume. I had a taste and it was balanced with flavor. Not overwhelming with one ingredient nor the other. I loved the shiso leaves that were sprinkled in. The look and feel of the place reminds me of a casual tea place. It's well lit but there is limited seating. Since the first question I was asked was if I made a reservation - I would suggest make reservations if you're a large party but walk-ins were seated when there was availability. read more

Food is really just average. ordered the daily special which comes with soup, salad, a slice of pizza & a portion of pasta (you select your pasta from a list). Veggie soup is a nice clear broth but salad dressing is not to my taste. It was the house pizza which was magherita pizza but look/taste like tomato-based pizza with cheese topping. Where's the basil/herb? Dough was decent. I chose the mentaiko pasta which is ok (but lowest rating of all the mentaiko pasta I have had) Friend ordered seafood pasta in red sauce. It came with so much liquid that we thought it was a stew. Both of us agreed that this is a one time is enough kinda place 5 Stars for friendliness of the staff & pleasant interior decorations but that's where it end. Felt more like a cafe read more

At La Casa Mia, I ordered the carbonara. The carbonara had a rich, creamy taste after mixing the egg together. The portion size was just right. I felt full and satisfied after finishing my meal. The interior was decorated beautifully and made me feel at home. The service was a bit slow but when the waitress came by to check up on us, she noticed that we ran out of water. She made sure to promptly provide us with a new jug of water, which I appreciated. I also asked for my bacon to be put on the side and my request was accommodated. I would return again to try out more from the rest of the menu. read more

Tried the other location before. Didn't hate it. Was always open to giving this place another try, so we finally did a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I was still a bit underwhelmed with my experience. Not sure why this place is so popular! It's unique I guess, don't really see many other restaurants with the same dishes, but the prices are astronomical and the taste is just ok. We tried the Mentaiko Mayo Mochi Cheese Pizza - again. Last time, the crust was VERY undercooked. This time, I think it was cooked better, but the crust was so flavorless, it didn't add much to the dish at all. Might taste better just eating it all with noodles and without a crust. We also got the Sukiyaki, with pasta noodles. I didn't wanna pay $2 for udon lol. It tasted fine, but it definitely feels like something I can just make at home. It's $26 here... I gave this place enough tries, won't be back, too expensive! read more

The pasta was sub-par but I'd return here for two orders of the honey mustard chicken! Honey mustard chicken ($12): a must get! The perfectly fried chip-like skin with tender and juicy chicken thigh. The honey mustard is a light drizzle on the chicken allows for some slightly sweet or savory bites, 5/5 stars! Carbonara ($19): the pasta was al dente but the flavors were subtle which is surprising for a carbonara, 3/5 stars. Bacon Peperoncino Spaghetti ($18): this was plain Jane as in bland but was dry and barely had any bacon, 2/5 stars. The service was swift and the restaurant was intimate as the tables are fairly close to each other; therefore, you can hear others' conversations. They definitely heard me raving about the honey mustard chicken. read more

This restaurant offers a unique fusion of italian and japanese flavors. It truly is something I've never tasted before. The pasta gives a strong umami flavor, so I can see if it would be a hit or miss for customers. For me, it was definitely a hit. We also got the pizza, but it wasn't all too memorable. Our pizza just tasted like the korean cheese corn with tomato sauce. And, it was a little pricey for what came out. Nearly $30 for a whole pizza. Presentation was pretty though! I took some cute pics of our food before digging in. Their orange calpico drink was good, however it just tasted like regular orange juice. Nothing special, but it was super cute and picture-worthy. Service was good, we were seated quickly, but our server took a minute to get to us. The restaurant itself is fairly small, so it may feel a little tight sitting next to other customers. But it was clean inside and very cute! read more

This restaurant is tucked inside a Chinese plaza. It is not easily discovered but once you're inside you'll see a green colored theme restaurant. You are greeted with Japanese waitress that are very attentive and friendly. After we sat down, we ordered: Appetizer: Salmon Shimeji Mushroom Risotto (5 / 5) The risotto has a heavier cheese taste to it. It is mixed in nicely with salmon bits and mushroom. The salmon eggs adds the salt naturally and the flavor feels balanced. The portion seems more in line with an entre rather then an appetizer. This is a solid dish on the menu. Pasta: Seafood Pescatore - Bianco (4 / 5) Seafood pasta with white sauce tasted on a lighter side. The scallop, clams, and white wine is blended nicely with the pasta. The jumble shrimp instead of regular shrimp they provide for you is a big surprise. The attention to detail is good, I would have personally preferred a slightly stronger blend in sauce though. Pizza: Meat Sauce Mochi Pizza - (4 / 5) Ever thought pizza can be mixed in with mochi? Look no more! This one is it. The texture to this pizza is unique, however the meat sauce pizza had just very minimal meat. There's just a lot of ummm....sauce. That left a lot to be desired that can be added to this this dish. Kid's dish: La Casa Mia Kids Plate - (5 / 5) Got the Mentaiko Fish Roe as the pasta choice for my son. He loved it, so that's a 5 / 5 for me! Japanese pasta just works. The food here is great example of the fusion of eastern and western culture together in harmony. A great spot to keep coming in the future for sure! read more

It was quick to make a reservation. My friend had an emergency so I had to call the restaurant telling them I was going to be 20 minutes late. They were so understanding and pleasant to talk to. When we got to the restaurant, they did reserve a table for us. I felt like royalty because of the way they treated us. They introduced us to water, salad, and soup that came in a cup. It was so cute. They took our order and our food was so delicious. I got the carbonara and my friend got something with an M. Menineto? I don't know but it was so food. I was so glad mine had a poached egg. It was quite the surprise. The food was filling. We were glad we didn't get appetizers. It was my friend's birthday so they gifted her ice cream. Perfect way to end a birthday dinner. We would be coming back because their menu looks delicious. It's a cute spacious place so very handicapped friendly. read more
