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.

GREAT FOOD FAST FRIENDLY SERVICE
by Caroline M
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!
- Pros: Flavor and presentation of food
- Cons: Little Pricey

Hidden Find
by boston17
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

Great Family Run Busines
by goldfire
Even though Raleigh lacks an authentic Italian restaurant I like Casalinga. It is located in a low end strip mall but I keep going back because the food is great! I lived in Italy for 2 years so, I am comfortable with this type of atmosphere which is quite comfortable on the inside. It is a bit pricier than comparable places like Cafe Luna. If you live near Casalinga take advantage of taking out a pizza! If you like a more romantic place where you can walk to other bars and shops after the meal then go to Vivace in North Hills Mall.
- Pros: Great dinner, pizza, service
- Cons: location, pricey, same tomatoe sauce used on too many items
