Excellent. This was my first experience at Casalinga's and it was wonderful. I enjoyed linguini with shrimp,clams,calamari,mussels, and scungeli, it was delicious, generous portion , could have used a little more sauce. The pasta was done perfectly. The breads were cripsy and great for dipping, The tossed salad was fresh and plentiful. I would say the prices were reasonable considering the portion sizes and qualityof the food. One of my favorite things though was the music!! It was the music I grew up iwith in an Italain family. Although deceased I could hear my Dad singing along with Dean Martin and I with Connie Francis, I had not heard Ol sol a mio in years but It brought memories of the big wind up victrola in our basement where we would play all the Italain music on Sunday afternoons while pot of sauce simmered on the stove. My only complaint was I found it to be a bit too dark inside which made it difficult for me ot read the menu. Our waiter was wonderful. He was attentive but not overly so! A wonderful time was had by all !!Between good food, the wonderful music and my two friends it was a perfect evening!!…
NOT WORTH THE TRIP!!!!!!. Haven't been back since the change in management. Was really looking forward since seeing all the positive reviews. We were severely disappointed!! The food on the buffet had no flavor. Everything was really watery. when I asked about Carlo the woman who claimed to be the owner suddenly became very cold and angry. Although the servers were friendly, We won't be back. Looking back, it seems like all those positive reviews were written by the same person. Such a shame because we really liked this place when Carlo was here and now its just not the same.…
Not the same at all since Carlos has went to Casa San Carlos. Very disapointed, portions are much smaller, food is not the same at all :( we did not understand the change till the waiter told us Carlos has a different place at 9660 Falls of the Neuse Ral. My husband and I looked at each other and said ok now we understand why its just not the same quality and portions. Dont understand why they keeped all his pictures on the wall . That is a verry deceptive and sneeky. We had recomended Casalinga when Carlos was still there to the CEO's and they came as a huge group after Carlos left. The presedent of the company had brought his wife many times when Carlos was there and returned without knowing he was no longer there ,and they were so dissapointed as well.The company called us and shared there experience and we had to tell them . Oh no wish we would of known before you went back , Carlos is no longer there he is at Casa San Carlos off Falls of the Neuse. :) So now we are regulars again but at Casa San Carlos. :)…
All Customers, Please Go Back!! JOSEPHINE IS IN CHARGE!!. This place is better than ever, with Josephine and Manny running it, if you felt uncomfortable in the past but loved the food , it's ok now, go back and you will have a pleasent experience with no harrasment! Food is better than ever and the gracious hostess.. Josephine and owner will welcome you with open arms and her sidekick Manny is always the best. Best linguini w/ white clam sauce and the hot spinach salad is outta this world. Now a very comfortable environment..you will feel at home in this amazing place of good food and great atmosphere.…
NEVER AGAIN!!!!!. Contrary to previous reviews, this restaurant has gone down the toilet the last 8 months. We were so exicted to eat there last fall and upon arriving we were rudely told that our favorite chef CARLO was no longer there and they were under new management. We decided to stay and eat anyway and I have to honestly say the food was disgusting. The staff was rude, the food was cold and tasted like it was from a box. So upset that we had no place to eat fine Italian food, we plesantly discovered Carlo had opened up his own restaurant - Casa San Carlo. Finally...some awesome Italian food...will never go anywhere else...Worth the trip all the way from Apex...…
