You’ll find yourself welcomed into the classic Italian grandma-style setting, checkered tablecloths and all. Bellissimo!


Don’t hesitate to sway to the sounds of the sweet Italian music as you pick your dish(es) – because who is counting? Start off with their delectable warm appetizers like the baked feta in napolitana sauce served with toasted garlic butter on an oregano pain de mie, and get your veggie intake with their fresh salads or corn and carrot soup. YUM!

So, whether you’re going for a classic heartwarming carbonara, a lip-smacking Alfredo, or their delectable gamberetti: shrimps buttered to perfection with garlic and lemon sauce, you are in it to win it.

Once your eyes land on their homey cannelloni, you will not be able take your eyes off of it. The definition of comfort food in a plate, an oven-baked tray of stuffed tube pasta filled with creamy ricotta, bechamel sauce, and delicately topped with mouth-watering mozzarella cheese. It is what Italian food dreams are made of.



The homey place doesn’t limit itself to decadent Italian recipes, the Hamra gem also offers its regulars another signature dish from a neighboring country, the one and only paella. It is recommended that you order your paella a day before so that the chef can seek out the freshest seafood and the most preciozo spices.


Although we are totally judging you if you’re not in the mood for pasta, you can also opt for their signature platters. We have butterflies in our stomach just thinking about the succulent pollo con formaggio, an oven baked chicken breast generously filled with delicious ricotta cheese and mascarpone, topped with asparagus and even more cheese. For people looking for a quicker bite, pair one of their filling sandwiches with a side salad or crunchy fries for the perfect lunch on the go. Our favorite is the beef tenderloin sandwich, which stands out with a mustard, sharp cheese, and pepper to boot.



It should be illegal not top off your Italian food fiesta without a creamy tiramisu or a sweet crepe coupled with a perfect cappuccino. We warned you, you are going to get hooked pretty easily… Finally, here’s you next video sensation (almost as good as ASMR), here’s how fresh ravioli is made at La Casa Di Pasta.
