Casa Mia is the authentic Italian Cuisine experience. Our family moved to the U.S. in 1993 from Sorrento, Italy (a province of Naples). We came straight to Scottsdale so none of our palates were altered from the flavors they were familiar with. Casa Mia means "my home", and just like at home our food is made to meet our standards of taste. All of our ingredients are of the finest quality, from home made pastas, organic produce, and now organic grass fed beef. Our wine list features only Italian wines, and is always a work in progress as we are always searching for new surprising flavors!Check out our pizzeria CM2 located next door to our Casa Mia location.

Best food in the valley with the exception of Steak 44. My wife and I have attended Casa Mia dozens of times and never had a bad meal or service! That says a lot and sets a very high standard that few restaurants can match.

I have been excited to try this new restaurant. We had friends in town, so it was a great opportunity. The place was full the entire time we were there. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and timed perfectly. They have a lot of staff working. Everyone was very pleasant from the hostess table to the people bussing tables. Following someone else’s review, our party ordered the short rib lasagna, short rib pappardelle, and I got the chicken rigatoni. Everyone raved about their meals. The Caesar salad had the prettiest presentation. As much as I’d like to keep this restaurant to myself, I have to say it’s amazing, and will be on top of the list when we go out. You must have a reservation. It’s busy and for good reason!

Really great food and staff was friendly. Food portions were appropriate for the price. Staff could have been a bit more attentive, but ultimately was professional and helpful. View of the nearby mountain range is incredible.
