La Casita boasts a relaxed and welcoming ambience. Set in its Carbis Bay location, this family-run restaurant is incredibly vibrant and has a close team of exceptionally friendly staff.
We invite you to join us at the bar for a pre-dinner gin tonic a fino or cocktail. Relax on the terrace with a glass of fine wine sourced from small boutique vineyards in Spain and Europe. Alternatively, we have some superb Cornish and European beers and ciders on offer.
The finest fresh ingredients are meticulously sourced both locally and from Spain. This is at the heart of La Casita's menu which features paella, pizza, chargrilled meats & local seafood, vegetarian & vegan dishes. Our specials change regularly and we have a great selection on our tapas menu.
Children are welcome and have their own menu with a great selection of dishes.

    After reading some of the previous restaurant previews, we we were expecting some great authentic tapas. However we were very disappointed with the quality of the food. The tapas dishes were just bland and very average, but the calamari in particular was inedible as it was rubbery and overcooked. We also had a paella, which had a reasonable flavour, but the prawns had been completely overcooked and were mushy! On the plus side the service was good and the staff were friendly.

    Beautiful food, served efficiently in a lively atmosphere. This was our second visit, which tells you a lot, and we were not disappointed. The paella menu is a real highlight. highly recommend, and will be returning.
