A very warm welcome to La Casa Mio.
In Italy, as everyone knows, family is life. Maybe it's the close-knit communities we covet. Maybe it's the climate that makes impromptu gatherings so much more attainable. Or maybe, just maybe, it's the food. A culture where recipes are passed down through generations, the ingredients are always fresh - usually grown at home - and the quantities made are enough to feed an entire village, is reason enough to gather together as a family for every single meal.
Now, we open our doors and invite you to come and share in our traditions; eating our delicious, secret recipes, sampling the freshest, local, seasonal ingredients and experiencing the warm embrace of familial dining, as only the Italians can.
Benvenuto
The key to good Italian food is simplicity. A few fresh, seasonal, well-selected ingredients in the hands of a skilled chef, who really knows how to bring out the best in them, is a guaranteed recipe for a fantastic meal.
Angelo, Head Chef
We are very proud of our Italian roots; our people, our culture, and our food. We are equally proud of our adopted hometown, county, and country.
Consequently, whilst all the recipes on our menus are authentic Italian family recipes, we strive to buy local produce.
Il Casa Mio is truly blessed to be surrounded by lush, verdant farmland, farmed by multiple-generations of farmers who produce the very freshest, highest quality meat, veg, fruit, and alcohol.
We are delighted to share that more than 90% of all ingredients used in our restaurant are produced within a 30 mile radius of us.
