Casa Della Luce

Came here last week for a small family reunion of sorts. Oldest son is in college and middle son is serving in the military. The stars happened to align and everyone was home for a few short days. We decided to eat here. We were a party of 6. An older couple who came in about 5-10 minutes after us (I mean when we got seated there was another couple who just finished up, they left, their table got cleaned off and THEN this new couple came and sat at this table) got their orders taken before us and their food obviously came before ours as well. They also were offered the complimentary pizza slices that Casa always used to offer. But my last 4 or 5 trips here either they didn't give us the complimentary slices, or they didn't have any, or we had to ask to get them. So not sure what the deal is any more. My dish was very tasty. I had the veal Marsala. It was even better the day after. 2 of the pizzas we ordered were dry as hell. The taco pizza barely had any toppings on it. The meat was practically dehydrated. I think there was 1 or 2 crushed up tortilla chips. I think the whole thing had 2 tablespoons AT MOST of meat. The white clam pizza maybe had 5 clams worth of meat. No sauce. It needed olive oil or something. It needed a lot of help. And the toppings were in like the middle 4 inches of the pizza. So the crust was like 3 inches wide. I am not exaggerating. Please look at the photos. This trip may be one of my last here at Casas More...

After a sunny walk on a nearby beach we were famished and stopped in for some pizza. They offer both Sicilian thick crust an NY style thin. The day was sunny and we had originally planned to dine indoors. A waitress assisting customers on the patio let us know to sit 'anywhere' and she would be with us shortly. Unfortunately, the music inside was loud and 'twangy'. No idea who it was and I'm not familiar with the style. It seemed more appropriate for at-home enjoyment, by those who appreciate the genre. We moved out into the sun.We selected a large, thin crust pizza to share and two adult beverages. Although the beer and wine selection is modest it covers a good range of choices. We saw others eating pizza by the slice and those slices are huge. Their '2 slices and a soda' option would certainly fill you up.Our pizza arrived. It looked well cooked and had a fair amount of toppings. At first bite the crust was crispy, but the pizza had. . . no flavor? Now this is my experience, and there are plenty of reviews that rave about the pizza. This is my experience. Take it or leave it.The thin crust was not as thin as I would expect on a NY style thin crust pizza. The very bottom of the dough was crispy at first, but between the outer crust and the sauce it was 'doughy'. The sauce is very bland. It is a light, crushed tomato variety, which I actually prefer over a heavy sauce.This sauce however would benefit by using San Marzano tomatoes for their 'bright' flavor and a bit of added garlic and/or oregano. Anything really. I couldn't taste the sauce at all. The cheese was 'sriingy' as we do love our pizza to be. Again, there was no real flavor associated with the cheese. Maybe if we got a pizza loaded with meat it would translate better.I ate one piece at the restaurant because it really wasn't worth the chewing effort. I re-cooked a slice at home in my skillet to cook the 'doughy' crust, and added basil and good olive oil after it was done cooking. That was a definite improvement.Unfortunately, the after affects were very unwelcome. Yes, I'm sure it was the pizza. Other than tea, it was the only thing I ate that day, so no doubt it was the pizza's revenge on my digestive tract. As you see, it didn't turn out at all well for us in the food department.The waitress was excellent. The prices are no surprise. The interior looked very clean. They use nice heavy silverware. Parmesan and hot pepper flakes were offered with the pizza. All good stuff. Not sure what happened with our experience being so different. Guess everyone has a bad day. More...

My husband and I usually enjoy this restaurant; good food, decent service. But we went for a late lunch yesterday at about 3 pm and I tried to order the gnocchi from the lunch menu - in a pesto cream sauce, I made the mistake of just stating "gnocchi" and not only did Jenni serve me the dinner gnocci in bolognese sauce, it was twice as expensive. I didn't want to make a fuss when it was served but I didn't realize the cost difference until the bill came. Jenni, as a good server you should be asking, did you want the gnocchi in the cream pesto or the bolognese as one is a lunch item and the other is dinner. Also, when she asked what kind of salad I wanted (which I suppose should have clued me in on whether it was lunch or dinner, I asked for the field greens and she brought a caesar salad. At least we had points to use to reduce the bill. I think I may opt for one of our favorite restaurants a little further away next time. : ( More...

We were in the area and didn't feel like going home to deal with dinner so Casa Della Luce came to the rescue. I quickly looked up restaurants in the area on Yelp and this one came up. It looked perfect. A quick stop for a delicious meal with no frills - my kind of place. We arrived Sunday night, just after their dinner rush and ended up being the only ones dining at that time. We felt bad but they still had a couple hours before closing and our server had a bunch left to do, so we didn't feel like, nor were we treated like we were inconveniencing them. We both started with a caesar salad and it was as delicious as our server mentioned. The romaine was crisp, and the caesar dressing had the right amount of tang to it. Definitely tasted homemade. Simple yet delicious. I had the Casa Special Pizza - Pepperoni, homemade meatballs, sausage, peppers, mushrooms,onions, Casa pizza sauce & mozzarella cheese. Each slice kept getting better and better as it cooled off a bit and as the toppings settled. The crust was thin and crispy. A great pizza. More...

Forgot to post last night, but we have been here several times now, and don't believe that last nights visit was up to the usual standards. To start, my 3 star rating has nothing to do with the wait staff-- our waitress was great and right on. The kitchen was obviously very busy. You can see into the open kitchen. We ordered Garlic Knots with marinara sauce as an appetizer. Needless to say, they were quite dark and just short of burned. We didn't even get them until after our dinner arrived. Not the servers fault. We got our salads- they were good. My husband ordered lasagna. He loved it with lots of meat and cheese. I had a special of Homemade cavetelli with crabmeat, tomatoes, broccoli and garlic. This was disappointing. Presentation is a big deal, and this wasn't pretty. The pasta was good, definitely homemade. When I saw fresh crabmeat on the menu, that's what I expected but not what I got. It was definitely imitation crab meat. It was all just sitting in oil as opposed to a nice sauce. The concept was a great thought, I just wish there was better execution of the idea for the simple ingredients that made up this special. Like I said, it was ok but disappointing. We will be back though; this was not typical as far as we are concerned. More...
