In Short – Casalinga's owner is from Sorrento, and has brought a piece of southern Italy to Raleigh. Candlelit tables are surrounded by murals, photographs and artwork. Casalinga means "homemade" in Italian, and this restaurant is reminiscent of Mamma's kitchen. Their specialty is linguine alla pescatore--fisherman's linguine--but the menu has literally hundreds of choices, from New York- or Sicilian-style pizza to calzone, stromboli and pastas.

Food was tasting good, but the service was bad
by A SK at Citysearch
The server was ok at the beginning, but messed up my friend's dinner order (the chicken pizza was missing all other toppings except chicken!). he then seemed very reluctant to make another pizza and just offered to bring all other toppings separately as a side. Another friend of mine had asked for hot sauce and had to ask 3 more times before being told that they had run out of hot sauce and that he would have brought it earlier if he had it!!!.. In the end, the check had a "share" charge of $ 3 for three of our dishes.. when we asked about the share charge, we were told by the manager, that we were given more food because we asked for our dishes to be split in 2 and the server was actually doing us a favor by not charging us for an entire order. Sure enough, there was no mention of the share charge on the menu. the manager did finally take it off but added a "generous" gratuity to make up for it..... all in all, we didn't mind the food so much, but were quite disappointed with the service we got..
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Service, Restaurant location

GREAT FOOD FAST FRIENDLY SERVICE
by Caroline M at Citysearch
My family been there several times never been nothing but impressed with the flavor of their Meals. Service is good and attentive. Place is a little pricey but sometimes we pay more for things that we view as good. Pizza is just ok.. stick with the pasta dishes!

Hidden Find

My friend and I ate here last month and the food and service were excellent. We were turned off by the location at first (being located in a strip mall off Capital Blvd.), but once we were inside, it was a totally different atmosphere. Inside the it was was very cozy and nicely decorated.
- Pros: Great Food, Cosy Enviroment
- Cons: None
