I highly recommend the original La Casa, the food is amazing and the service from Trent is superb! If you want authentic Italian food theirs's truly the best! I have gone with my entire family so many times and it is a staple in our life!

This legendary 1953 Italian restaurant on 44th & Leavenworth in Omaha is definitely worth checking out. Walking in you will see a lot of their accomplishments on the walls over the years. Impressive. Our family of 5 walked in for lunch & was greeted & seated right away. They have a long menu list of all your favorite Italian food options, plus pizza lunch special: 2 slices of house select pizza & salad $9.50! The only down side to their pizza special is they prepare it early so they can have it ready quickly for their lunch rush, but that doesn't allow for any alterations, such as requesting light cheese or no olives. Their pizza slices are approx 4x4 squares & they were served what looked overcooked, but my family said it was delicious! I chose their Eggplant Parmesan that was very tasty & covered in cheeses-Romano & Mozzarella. I also tried their Chicken Parmesan that was a nice piece of chicken lightly breaded & topped with cheese & Marinara. These dishes come with a side choice of either spaghetti, mostaccioli, vegetable or fries. A favorite of mine is their toasted ravioli appetizer, filled with meat & meat sauce. Worth trying! For desserts we tried wedding cake & cheese cake. Both fresh & YUM!

Muy delicioso. Lot of politeness there. The kind the mid-west was knowd for. Pizza and pasta are excellent.

La Casa is only a few miles from our neighborhood but this was the first time we had been here. It won't be the last. The tables are nicely spaced out so you don't feel like your're on top of each other. The ceiling looks like tin stamped-old-timey tiles and helps keep the noise down, although it was kind of noisy when we were there. I ordered a glass of wine, which turned out to be sweeter than I liked--Valkenburg Dorfender. Lesson learned. Bookguy ordered Penne shrimp Calabrian with extra shrimp. The presentation was impressive as the waiter plated it at the table from a casserole dish. Bookguy thought it was delicious and not lacking in shrimp. I ordered a small plate of mostaccioli with marinara. I liked how they offer smaller portions. Our entrees came with a standard dinner salad and rolls. We both enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere. I also liked how the waiter, Trent, whisked my leftovers away to box up to take home. Somehow this is more refined than just giving us a box to load at the table. All in all we had a great dinner.

Finally came back to the OG La Casa after 5 years. As our last experience was insanely awful. I am pleased to say tonight was great! Our server was very friendly and kind. The food was hot and delicious! Sadly I wanted eggplant parmigiana but they were out of eggplant so I went with good ol chicken Parm. All is good again! Amen!

Tried this long standing Omaha Italian restaurant, and I can say great pizza. We did an order of onion rings and the "4 cheese" pizza both were exceptional. The rings were fresh, lightly battered (almost tempura) - the pizza had great flavor and a light, crispy crust that was thick on the edge and thin in the center. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and like the rest of the staff, friendly and efficient. The dining room was bright, clean and nicely decorated. A great first impression will bring us back to try their variety of Italian dish - they have many vegetarian options.

I have to say I quit going here for quite a while, because pizzas were so inconsistent. However, the last two times have been amazingly perfect! Pizza has been perfectly done both times which makes me very happy. I hope it continues! I know a lot of people have been saying they are inconsistent, but I think they may have figured it out... Yay love, Lacasa!
