It's Zeppoli time! It's Zeppoli time and Pasta Casareccia has started receiving their first deliveries of these tasty little buggers. Yea, they aren't made there, Pasta Casareccia is not a bakery, so I'm not surprised. They do, however, receive Zeppoli fresh, and they get snatched up within hours (I know - I snatch 'em).
This morning, I popped by and grabbed up a bunch of Zeppoli and spied my favourite burrata on the back shelf. Guess who's having burrata with dinner tonight?
Pasta Casareccia continues to be my goto spot for imported Italian goods.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Ann-Marie J.

I really liked this place like 10 years ago: the portions were just right, so was the price ($8.95 for 4 cheese cannelloni with your choice of sauce, unlimited bread, etc). Service was excellent and attentive and the place was full!
I recently returned and the prices jumped so dramatically: same cannelloni above is now in the $13 range! I was embarrassed: my guest and I had our meals come close to $50 with a tepid warm coffee and a shared piece of cake. We were only among one other couple on a Friday night.
To top it off, the arabiatta sauce was not at all spicy like it used to be, and the cannelloni were not stuffed with cheese, only filled *ever so slightly* to say it was not just plain pasta and sauce.
To the management of Pasta Casareccia: Return to the previous price point (or just slightly above considering inflation is like 3%), portion sizes (including filling the cheese cannelloni) and you will have a return customer, and a filled restaurant.
I am not sure how this restaurant stays in business: it is never full, regardless of the day and time I have passed by! -

I write this with a heavy heart as this used to be my favorite local Italian restaurant, and now it's just "one of". While the service is a polished and friendly as ever, there are changes in the menu that have made the food experience not as enjoyable as it used to be. My favorite appetizers (bresaola w/ arugula, age parm and balsamico is no longer on the menu) have disappeared, and the pastas, while uniformly good, alwasy seem to be creeping up in price. If you're having a bottle of wine, good luck out of their for under $80-$100. And the wine choices are uninspired at best. C'mon boys, you can do a lot better.

PASTA CASARECCIA is a real gem of a restaurant. It is close to my home, and my wife, who grew up in Italy come here often. The food is jusr like the food we eat in small neighbourhood restaurants when we are in Italy. The fresh pasta and home-made sauces are fabulous and their lasagna is the best I have ever had - my all-time favourite.
The décor is simple but warm. Give it a try....you won't be sorry. -

Not great service, or prices. I've eaten there before and was happy with the no frills, decent pasta... But prices have definitely gone up. We ordered a lunch special to split between a 3yr old and a 5yr old - we were informed that lunch specials can't be split, and we'd have to pay full price. That wouldn't bother me for adults, but for two kids who are going eat a fraction of the meal, it's just not cool. With no reasonable options for the kids, we left. Maybe they're OK with that, but there was only one other table, so I have to wonder...

Ambiance: Salumeria style counter service with a small seating area. Tasteful and fun Italian themed interior.
Service: Attentive, friendly.
Price: $12 and up
Food: Assortment of authentic Italian dishes, focus on pasta. The cannelloni marinara was good, the sauce and cannelloni appeared both homemade. The house Rosé refreshing and well chosen.
Summary: A simple pasta dish together with a house wine and cannoli came to close to $30 for lunch. A diet coke rang up $4 after tax and tip. Ludicrously overpriced. The take out counter should not be avoided, the restaurant on the other hand, can be quietly ignored. -

yum! my parents and i enjoyed some delicious homemade italian fare at pasta casareccia's. half is a lunch eatery that has a 50's meets 80's kitch interior and half displays all the goodies that you can take home with you. the specials are listed on a chalkboard near a shiny red vespa that is up for a drawing - all you put is your name and number on the back of your bill to enter.
the spaghetti with meat sauce (i asked for a little bit spicy) was fantastic! there is nothing like fresh pasta. the meat ravioli au gratin was also very good. we finished the meal with the homemade tiramisu which was light, fluffy and creamy with our coffees.
afterwards, we couldn't pass up the chance to buy and take home some meat lasagna and more spaghetti with spicy meat sauce. after 2 lunches in a row of pasta from this joint - i'm still humming italian tunes. the lasagna by the way is the best i have ever tasted! -

They have very reliable Italian food, both an épicerie and a small restaurant at lunch. Good home made pasta and marinated vegetables. A large selection of olive oils and vintagers.
