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!

After a day of traveling and settling in with our hosts in Omaha, we made our way out to dinner. La Casa was the restaurant of choice and a decent one at that! An historic institution to the area, La Casa boasts its' history in photos throughout the space, creating a homey vibe. The interior is cozy, yet spacious and allows for parties of all sizes. Our hungry party of 5, opted for a round of appetizers (garlic bread and toasted ravioli) and salads before diving into our 2 large pizzas and a house made lasagna. I'll admit the crust on the pizzas is light, fluffy and crunchy, which made the entire thing, but I found the pizza to be a little lackluster. Nothing to write home about, in my opinion. The lasagna was stacked high and tasted good but definitely heavy - so avoid if wanting a lighter meal. Desserts here are decent too - we ordered a round of the zappole for home, which I apparently liked even more after a few cocktails. Service was okay - clearly overwhelmed from the Friday night rush, but our waters were refilled consistently, and wine delivered after a bit of wait. Not sure I'd go out of my way to return, but a unique introduction to Omaha.

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!

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 orderedPenne 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.

We did not like this food. This is our personal taste, and I'm sure others find it delicious, but it was not for us. The server was pleasant and I enjoyed watching the staff interact with people they they obviously saw often. The restaurant was a lovely, authentic looking Italian eatery.

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.

First off, I love La Casa...a true Omaha classic. It's square pizzas and the neon light sign out front are a beacon to weary Leavenworth travelers. Honestly, it may have been here when Lewis and Clark came through, who knows. Inside is nice, a bit nicer than one might expect from a normal pizza joint. I usually opt for takeout or curbside, but there's bar seating and plenty of table seating. The pizza is nostalgic, and a classic in Omaha, but it is by no means the greatest pizza ever made. They use romano cheese as a standard, which adds to the unique taste and texture. It's just a very unique staple of Omaha, and I definitely crave it from time to time. Overall, a must try if you're an Omaha resident.

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!

I used to get la casa all the time growing up and it was delicious. Took my girlfriend here to show her somewhere I used to love as a kid and the pizza was.... Disappointing to say the least.For the price I was expecting a pizza with at least a little flavor. The crust was great, but everything on top of it tasted like it wasn't even seasoned. It basically tasted like a Romano cheese pizza with borderline uncooked onions on it. I don't know if it was a one off bad experience, but we probably won't be coming back. I swear I had la casa a few years ago and the pizza was amazing.Also the server refused to let me pay for extra mushrooms on my pizza because it would be too soggy? We eat pizza with a fork anyways so it wasn't even a problem. If I'm paying for a 30 dollar pizza to begin with and want to give you more money so the pizza is how I like it just let me??? Overall really dissapointed. I very rarely leave a restaurant feeling like I wasted money, and this time I did.
