La Casa Mia

Definitely feels like a spot to go on a date, the interior design felt very comfy. There was a bunch of pillows and fancy looking silverware. The food itself was very filling even thought they didn't give you that much. We also got their pizza which was 8 dollars off on wednsdays.

lovely little sit down restaurant with a super cute interior design scheme. we ordered two pizzas and a pasta. very creative and interesting fusion flavors! i really enjoyed the yakult berry drink and the salmon pasta. would definitely come again, especially if they bring back the previous dessert selection.

This place is a hidden gem, the location was not easy parking, but the interior space was cute and floral, our food was great, we ordered one pizza, one pasta and one fries, it’s enough to feed three people with a fair price. I love pizza, very Italian taste! Our pasta was chewy & juicy!! I believe we definitely want to come again!

Food is good but not exceptional. Takoyaki has nice presentation. I would recommend to order any kind of pizza. The fusion pasta are also good.

This restaurant combines the flavor pallets of Japanese and Italian cuisine in a very interesting way. I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing flavors they came up with. I had an Italian meat sauce and a pork cutlet on top that was made Japanese style. The flavors blended perfectly. You must try this place.

I have heard a lot about this place and it has been on my radar for a while. Went with some colleagues. First of all, this place serves some seriously delicious and great value food for sure! We ordered a variety of food - from the risotto to pizza and pasta. Their salmon shimeji mushroom risotto was so flavorful with strong umami taste. Only surprise and complaint was the serving portion too little/small. I think the risotto and the Mentaiko mochi mayo cheese pizza are the highlights! The spicy cod roe and mentaiko mayo and mochi added to the pizza gave it a uniquely delicious and creamy texture with thin crispy crust that we like. I would come back for these two dishes. We also had their vegetable pomodoro pasta which has good flavor profile but nothing special in my opinion. Service was average. Kept asking if we needed any other order (few times- once not long after we were seated and our food has not been served to us yet?!). I guess the waitress and kitchen wanted to wrap up by 2pm for their break. That was the only complaint I have. Ambiance - they have two outside tables for those who like outdoor dining. Parking can get a little tough in that plaza during day.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant since it opened and I finally had the chance to get off work a little earlier! We arrived at 12:55. The interior of La Casa Mia is quaint and inviting. We ordered the pasta Carbonara and mentaiko Spaghetti. The food itself was fresh & delicious however it was extremely hard to enjoy our food with a group of teen waiters and waitresses cleaning both tables on the right and left of us. The screeching of the chairs and clattering of utensils and plates, the banging was so loud we couldn’t hold a conversation. I understand the waiters wanted to close up and it really felt that they wanted us to get out of there. Not subtle at all. We left before I finished my meal. Overall a great meal but just a so so experience.

Went for dinner- My favorite was the tofu pizza (age), it was a good portion to share and was a good fusion with tofu, soy sauce, and cheese and it was a thin crust. The pastas I thought were fine, the portions were small and didn’t hit as much of a fusion taste as the pizza. The reason why I say it’s not as fusion is because I feel like it was a regular spaghetti dish with a bit of fish roe on top/side. The curry casserole was also ok, lacked a bit of kick in the flavor and was a small portion as well. Other than it’s a really great environment with nice indoor and outdoor seating and a little Photo Booth area with props.

Drink/Food: Orange Calpico, Berry Yakult, Mentaiko Pizza, Seafood Pescatore - Bianco, Matcha Tiramisu Price: $8 for the drinks | $28 | $23 | $8 Overall: I love Japanese Italian so I knew that I had to try out this spot and have a girls hang out here. The interior is very cutesy and neat. We came right when it open so there was no wait. We shared the Mentaiko Pizza and Seafood Pasta which were both delicious. The Mentaiko Pizza was very addicting with the mochi and sausage on top. The drinks were also great with came with a heart filled with syrup. At the end of the meal, we shared the matcha tiramisu; can't complain about matcha now! I'll be coming back whenever I'm craving Japanese Italian food!

I have tried the other location in Milpitas and loved it so I wanted to take a friend to this location that was more convenient to us at the time. First of all parking lot is huge. I love that I do not have to fight for a parking space. lol The restaurant is super cute. Small, but plenty of seats. We were seated by the window on the loft are so I was very comfy. We got the pizza with mochi, uni pasta, some desserts and drinks. What I missed from the other location is the colab with the Los Gatos bakery that had the kabocha burned cheesecake. Sooo good. Now how is it? Pizza- Thin crust, like a flat bread, still delicious. I love the little morsels of stretchy and chewy mochi. Didn't ever think of putting mochi on pizza. Pasta- I just wish I had a bigger serving because I inhaled this dish. Creamy, umami, all dente pasta. Nothing to hate. Desserts - The parfait was good but the matcha tiramisu was okay. Still enjoyed them. Overall fun experience and good food. Staff was also very attentive.

Weekday deals available for lunch and dinner! A fusion of Japanese and Italian food. Although we not have reservation for 7pm Tuesday weekday, they were able to accommodate us. Ordered an eggplant Parmesan ($16), salmon shimeji ($22), meat sauce with katsu cutlet ($27). Weekday deals, so I got a yogurt berry which is under the soft drink section (reg $8, Tuesday deal day is $4). I liked my dish my salmon shimeji, a lot of umami flavor. The roe goes well and gives it som salty taste. The meat sauce with katsu has a lot of meat. I think the sauce did not need the meat since katsu would complement it, the katsu did need more salt. Eggplant parmesan ($16) was good, comes with 3 eggplants with meat sauce and cheese on top, but not sure if it is worth the price. The most fun was the juice eyedropper in yogurt berry drink, tasted sweet and delicious. The restaurant got slightly chilly. The waitress acknowledged that the door was broken. Besides that, the restaurant has unique foods that tasted delicious. In addition, the waitress provided with a matcha tiramisu, super grateful. I'm not sure if it because of the chilliness comment in the store or end of the day, but I tipped more. Matcha tiramisu was okay, more of a tiramisu cake.

This place is for you if you want to be ADVENTUROUS! I've passed by this tiny place on the way to Kaiser but stopped in for dinner date after my friend recommended it. It's a fusion of Japanese and Italian so we had what I would call "Japanese pizza and pasta." The pizza had mochi cheese that was really good and potatoes and sausage that was interesting. The pork cutlet was nice and crispy on meat sauce pasta. I had the poached egg with beef on pasta. The pork cutlet was better than the fatty beef. Overall I would come here again on date night, the place was small but cozy and causal and romantic at the same time.

I came here with my friend and we love this place! I'm glad that we are able to make a reservation ahead of time and don't have to wait! We shared our entrees and had leftovers at the end of dinner! The items are very filling! Mentaiko Mayo Mochi Cheese Pizza(9/10): When I saw sausages, I was a little hesitant because I usually don't like sausages on my pizza. I'm glad that they used these type of sausages because I feel like the smoked flavor works well with the dish! The mochi gives the pizza a nice chewy texture and the potato also adds a nice texture! I wish there was more mentaiko, but other than that, it was quite delicious! Salmon Shimeji Spaghetti(9/10): I really liked that they used angel hair pasta for the dish. I think it works well giving the dish a nice full look. The sauce clung nicely onto the pasta and the other items in the dish! The fish eggs give a nice popping texture and a salty taste to the mild dish! I do wish they would give a little more pieces of salmon and mushroom. Service(10/10): They sat us immediately and gave us our menu. They were very friendly and checked up on us every now and then. Everything was quick and I really liked their service. Overall, I really enjoy this place and can't wait to try their other items!

Not as amazing as I remembered it being, but still good! I made a same-day dinner reservation at La Casa Mia. The space wasn't packed when we arrived, but the restaurant is also quite small. The decor inside was minimal, with light blue and teal accents. Service was friendly and efficient. My partner and I each ordered our own pasta - Uni Pasta for me, Bacon Peperoncino Spaghetti for him - and the Tofu Skin Pizza to share. The pizza came out super fast, and was more like a flatbread. I liked the tofu but I feel like it needed some kind of sauce on the pizza, not just the super salty soy dipping sauce. Our pasta dishes were also good, but not mind-blowing. I liked the uniqueness of the Uni Pasta and the flavors generally worked together. However, the pasta was a little overcooked for me and it's not a dish I'm dying to eat again ASAP. Overall, I love the fusion concept of La Casa Mia but feel like the execution was better last time!

We walked in around 5-6pm on a Monday night (though it is Christmas week) and were seated promptly by the window. I had never been here before but my friend had and recommended I try the Mentaiko pasta and the baguette with x3 free refills. Service was great and they checked in often, they also did the first 2 refills automatically when they noticed we were running out. Ambiance is really cute and aesthetic with cottage core style decor. There is also a small photo booth area near the door for photos woth a tripod. Bathroom was a bidet with heated seats which was great! Mentaiko pasta - 9/10, it was really delicious and the flavor was great, pasta al dente. Personally I get flavor fatigue easily so eating some of the baguette helped Baguette - 9.5/10, I love some good bread and it was soft on the inside and a bit crunchy on the edges! I heard that they make their own butter as well which was a bit smoky I would definitely come back here again since the vibes are cute and pasta delicious!

Such a unique restaurant that I have been wanting to try for a little while and finally got around to it today. They have an interesting many of Japanese-Italian pastas and pizzas. I ordered the Salmon Shimeji Spaghetti which was just the right portion size for one person. The sauce was lightly soy-sauce flavored in a way that made the dish really savory and delicious without being overpowering. The salmon was cooked very well, and the fish roe was just the right amount of salty to really enhance the flavors in the pasta. I would have liked a little more salmon on the pasta but it was delicious nonetheless. We also ordered the eggplant parmesan, which we all really enjoyed! Coming from an Italian household it is hard to find good eggplant parmesans, but this one was delicious. The red sauce was flavorful and not greasy from any oil. I would say the flavor profiles of most of the dishes is a Japanese style savory/umami type flavor on Italian dishes, and it is done really well! The inside of the restaurant is really cute too! Not a whole lot of seating so I would suggest maybe getting a reservation if you're coming here on a weekend. Our server Julie was also absolutely amazing! She recommended a bunch of items from the menu that all tasted amazing. She was very kind and constantly checked in on how we were liking the food. Such a fun place to try something new and exciting for dinner and would recommend trying this restaurant!

How have I not rated la casa mia yet? One of my go to favorites. Before moving to the US, I had high expectations of American fast food from Japanese Denny's, Saizeriya, and Coco's which served food similar to La Casa Mia. Although not as cheap or fast as the family restaurants in Japan it does hit the spot. This time we got the risotto and spaghetti and we meant to order the mentaiko mochi pizza...but they brought the spaghetti. My grandpa loves pizza so this was super unfortunate. But we were so hungry I didn't want to complain about it. They're usually pretty good, perhaps an off day for some of the staff. Will be back!

La Casa Mia is a Japanese-Italian fusion restaurant, serving pastas and dessert-the perfect place for a cozy Friday night dinner with your friends or a date. If sitting outside, there are string lights decorated above, which creates a lovely romantic ambience. The restaurant staff are all very kind and accommodating, displaying polite mannerisms. As a vegetarian, there really is only one pasta dish that I can eat from here, which was the Vegetable Pomodoro (this is actually a vegan dish). Usually, I'm impartial to pasta, but this dish was so delicious and flavorful! I've also tried the Japanese Mushroom Melody Pizza, which uses three different types of mushrooms: Shimeji, Maitake, and Shiitake mushrooms. It had a decent crust, not too thick nor thin. I did enjoy this dish but added spicy pepper flakes to it because I wanted a little kick to my pizza. My friends raved about the uni pasta, which they praised for being rich and buttery, so they recommend trying that if you eat meat. Overall, if you're looking for a place with cute, low-key, homey vibes, this is the place for you!

I went on a sunday night for dinner and it can get pretty busy! So if you want a guaranteed seat, making a reservation should help. The employees were so kind and welcoming and helping us guide the menu. The pasta noodles were al dente and perfect texture. The mochi pizza wasnt my favorite after trying it due to the mochi texture but the flavor was great!!

If you love Japanese-Italian fusion food, this is definitely a place you should try. The restaurant is located near Milpitas and has a cozy décor that blends Japanese and Italian styles nicely. We were warmly welcomed by the owner, and the overall service was friendly and attentive -- really made us feel comfortable. I ordered the spicy arrabiata pasta along with a Yakult Berry drink. The pasta was delicious in both flavor and presentation, and the drink looked amazing as well. The staff's friendly smiles and polite service are definitely a big plus. Had a great time dining here and will definitely come back!

The interior is very cute and cozy vibes! I love ordering the carbonara here and the mentaiko mayo mochi cheese pizza. They are both delicious! I usually make a reservation but the service is fast. Parking lot gets busy but it is big so parking is normally not a problem.

Ambiance: cute interior that feature many different plaid pattens Service: Excpetional! The servers were so friendly. Made the experience so much better Food: The pizza, was interesting. I enjoyed the unique fusion but felt like the execution could have been more flavorful and complete. Lacked seasoning that would have increased the dish. The risotto was unique, but the overall dish had clashing flavors. Just felt odd. By no means am I saying the food is bad, but it was below expectation

Overall Experience 5.5/10 We came here as a group of 6 on a weekend night and the place was super nice, bright and cozy. I loved the decor and how the lights were set up. We came near closing and the staff were super nice and amazing by getting us a better seating area after we sat already. The Food: Our table got a bunch of dishes, but I mainly ate the Mentaiko Mochi Pizza and the Waygu Sukiyaki Pasta. The portion sizes were a little small for the pasta, and the meat was a little leathery and grainy. It seemed like it was simmered for a little too long. The pasta and the sauce tasted a little too one dimensional for my liking, it was just the taste of earthy mushrooms. The pasta itself was cooked nicely, but I personally was not impressed by the pasta. The pizza we tried was also not to our personal liking. I think this was more due to a personal taste, but I did not think the roe with the mochi, cheese and mayo was a great combination together. I do think the pizza itself was cooked amazingly and I loved the crust and crisp that it had. I shared both dishes with my girlfriend and she agreed with most of my points on the two dishes. Overall Experience: This one stings a little bit because I came inside hoping to really like the place. Many from my party felt disappointed in the food due to the portion size and the taste, but that may have been because of our preferences. Maybe I'll come back to give it another shot one day.

Finally got to try La Casa Mia! This is such a cute little restaurant with cozy vibes and attentive/friendly staff. I went to celebrate a friend's birthday and we loved everything we ordered. I got their wagyu meat sauce pasta with pork katsu on top, my friend got the carbonara and we split some truffle fries. My pasta was so good. I loved that the meat sauce had a sweetness to it, made the fusion of Japanese and Italian elements come together nicely. The katsu was nice and crispy and paired well with the spaghetti. The truffle fries came out nice and hot with a nice truffle flavor and aioli. Got to try my friends carbonara and that was delicious too. The creaminess was just right and it packed a good amount of flavor. It'd be hard for me to decide between the carbonara and meat sauce pasta next time!

I absolutely love this place! It's the only restaurant in the bay I know that does Italian Japanese. The restaurant is cutely decorated and it is very popular so I recommend a reservation thought they did take a couple walk ins when I was there on a Monday evening. The staff are so friendly and hospitable! The food is fresh and delicious and such a unique balance of Italian and Japanese cuisine. Every time I come I get the uni pasta - it is absolutely phenomenal.

Service was friendly but limited vegetarian options. My friends and I came on a Sunday for late lunch and were seated immediately at the end table. It was a nice table with a bench on one side and chairs on the other. I got the vegan pomodoro which wasn't any different from other restaurants except there weren't that many veggies. It had plenty of good flavor though! I think it's a good spot to go get food with friends. Not somewhere I would personally go on my own or get takeout from since they have limited vegetarian options, but non-veg folks won't have this problem!

What a phenomenal experience! Truly such delicious food and great service! I was so impressed by the variety of Japanese-Italian dishes on the menu. The waiters were beyond friendly and really took the time to chat with us. The exterior and interior of the store were adorable - I felt like I was in a cute cottage. There were so many dishes I wanted to try, and the two I chose were delicious. The salmon shimeji spaghetti was umami and fragrant. I loved the mushrooms and fish roe. The mentaiko mayo mochi cheese pizza had an incredibly chewy crust and complimentary toppings. I am so excited to visit again and try more memorable dishes!

Service ambience were all 10/10. Parking however is difficult to find since it's in a very busy plaza. Carbonara is hands down their best dish here, everyone should try it, 100/10. We also tried the spicy version, but me and my friends all decided that the original one is better and we could just all get that and be happy. 10/10 for honey mustard chicken as well, it was well fried, very crispy and juicy. Honey mustard sauce goes well with it. We got this curry casserole that was $18 bucks that was smaller than my hand . The description made it look really good but it wasn't a lot. It was tasty but I don't think it was worth the price.

I discovered this place on Yelp looking for a dinner spot to celebrate my birthday. I'm so glad I chose this place because it did not disappoint! Since it was a Thursday we also got 40% off their cocktails which is an amazing deal. I got the strawberry calpico and my boyfriend got the apple sparkling juice cocktail. It's very cute and aesthetic inside. The food came out really fast and was so delicious! I love uni pasta so i had to get that and also got the mentaiko mochi cheese pizza -- both were so yummy! Other dishes ordered were the garlic shrimp pizza, mentaiko tagaliatelle, cabonara, and seafood pescatore. We also ordered the dessert parfait for dessert which was also really yummy. I highly recommend this place - they did a great job with japanese italian fusion! perfect place to eat out for dinner

Stopped by La Casa Mia to check out how their Japanese-Italian fusion dishes measured up to similar places I've tried in LA. The Mentaiko Mayo Mochi Cheese Pizza was unique for its chewy mochi texture, but the flavor was a bit basic, as the toppings were mostly cheese, sausage, and potato. I also wished it had been served a bit hotter to be more gooey and melty. The pasta dishes and risotto were better balanced for me. The Salmon Shimeji Mushroom Risotto, Mentaiko Cream Spaghetti, and Seafood Pescatore were flavorful without being heavy, thanks to the fresh salinity from the roe which balanced the richness. It's great to have a Japanese-Italian fusion spot like this in the South Bay, and I hope to see more unique concepts like it in the future. While some items were more successful than others, I'd be happy to go back and try more of their menu.

We had a resevation and were seated right away even though we arrived 20 minutes early. The mochi pizza is a must try!! It's plenty to share too. The appetizers are pretty standard but their pastas are really good! Highly recommended the mentaiko cream pasta.

Heard about this place by my friends and wanted to try it out. The decor was rlly nice, very ig worthy. The restaurant is small but the turn table rate is pretty high so it's not that much of a wait if you come late. We got the carbonara and the salmon shenji spaghetti . The carbonara was excellent, it was rlly flavorful (I did had stomachache after tho cuz of the raw egg , just be careful) . The salmon shenji is either your type of food or not, since it is more of a Japanese fusion spaghetti. The sliced baguette was rlly soft actually, we had all the 3 free refills. Overall will come back again to try other spaghetti. Will stir clear of the egg next time as I'm not sure if it's pasteurized as Japan.

The seafood pasta (red sauce) was really really good and mentaiko cream spaghetti was not bad. The pasta texture is really good. However the curry casserole was so incredibly small and has no meat other than an egg (not very worth it for the price). The most worth-it dish is probably the seafood pasta. The baguette is also not really worth it because it's literally just small slices of toasted baguette with plain butter, but you do get to refill it three times which is nice. The matcha tiramisu is mid. The service is really good, the staff are all really nice and the restaurant is super cute with all the decor!

Cute place for a first date. The food was ok. The meat sauce with pork cutlet spaghetti was good. Would I get it again? No. Tastes exactly like Hong Kong style spaghetti, which you can get at half the price and double the portion at a less "trendy" place. The mentaiko mayo mochi cheese pizza was okay. The crust was a little soggy and so everything kept falling off, and there was barely any meat. I didn't like it very much. But also I don't think I'm the target demographic of this sort of place. So many young Asian people here. Hopefully they enjoyed the food more than me.

During my trip to Japan, I thought they some of the best pasta I've ever had. And ever since then I've always thought that Japanese Italian fusion could be really fun! When I found out about La Casa Mia, naturally I got really curious! We got their bacon peperoncino pasta, salmon shijmeji mushroom risotto, and their mentaiko mochi cheese pizza. Both the pasta and the risotto were really good! I wish there was a little more flavor in the bacon peperoncino, but otherwise very good. But the mentaiko mochi pizza was SOO GOOD it surprised us so much. The snap from the sausage, the savory umami notes from the mentaiko, the bounce and chew from the mochi, and the mild creamy cheese. It all worked so well together. I would come JUST for this dish, it's that good. I can't wait to be back!

This place is surprisingly really good!! And perfect for Asian tastebuds!! We got the bread, the pasta, and the pizza and they were all sooooo good! We fully enjoyed our meal here :))

I've had this restaurant on my radar for the longest time, and I finally got to come here for dinner with my boyfriend on a Saturday evening. I liked how you could make reservations online on their website via OpenTable, as this was super convenient. We also had no issues finding parking in the plaza they are located in. My boyfriend and I decided to order a few dishes to share: 1) Sukiyaki (Sweet Shoyu Beef) Pasta: This was me and my boyfriend's favorite dish that we ordered. The sukiyaki sauce was delicious, and all the ingredients worked well together. I also loved the shimeji mushrooms a lot. 2) Meat Sauce with Pork Cutlet Pasta: The pork cutlet was just alright on its own. Eating all the components together at once (pasta, meat sauce, and cutlet) was the way to go for this dish. The meat sauce had a nice flavor, and I enjoyed it overall. I would say get this pasta if you're a fan of spaghetti with meatballs. 3) Mentaiko Mayo Mochi Cheese Pizza: I wanted to like this item more, but I wasn't the biggest fan of it personally. While the mochi had a nice chewiness to it, I feel like it didn't really belong on the pizza. I really liked the potatoes on this pizza, though, and I appreciated the variety of textures it offered on each slice. Our total before tax and tip was $82. I do wish the tables were a bit bigger, as our food and plates all barely fit at once. However, our servers were very attentive and I enjoyed the garden/tea party vibes of the restaurant's decor. Overall, I would come here again for another date night to try some of their other pizzas and pastas.

Great customer service and reservations are highly recommended. My husband and I went for a brunch date and we were lucky enough to snag two seats outside (it was cold and windy). We ordered: Eggplant parmigiana - this was delicious! Little Japanese eggplants cooked to a crisp on a hot cast iron pan with cheese and meat sauce. It is a small appetizer portion so probably only shared amongst two people. Takoyaki - also super good and crispy! Came with 5 pieces. Meat sauce pasta w/ pork cutlet : 10/10 would recommend and to get again. This portion was quite large and my husband loved it. The spaghetti was cooked to perfection, the pork cutlet on top was good and so was the meat sauce. Uni pasta - lol please skip this. The uni was way too briny for my taste and the mentaiko probably just enhanced it. I couldn't finish it. It was a large portion size as well. Mentaiko pizza: it was average. The mochi crust was good but the cheese topping was overkill. It needed something to balance it out. The chewiness from the mochi crust and the cheese was too much. Overall, I'd come back for a date but maybe try a few other things from the menu! The presentation of food was great!

The food was very flavorful and you could taste every ingredient. The pizza was quite filling and worth the cost. The pasta was slightly small in portion but still very flavorful. I also recommend the truffle fries. Service was very kind and checked in appropriately. The ambiance was also very homey and cute. Great for a date night.

Cute little restaurant that serves Japanese-Italian fusion food. Not sure where else you can find that around here. Food was amazing including the Tokyo style takoyaki, the salmon shimeji, and the mentaiko cream spaghetti. If you're looking for a non-dairy option, go for the salmon shimeji. Unfortunately, we went during lunch time and they do not serve desserts at that time. Definitely recommend as a lunch spot or cute date night spot.

La Casa Mia is one of the few remaining restaurants in the Bay Area serving up "Yoshoku" (Japanese-Western Cuisine). They do it well because I loved everything I ordered, especially the mentaiko mochi pizza, which was chewy with the perfect crisp crust and salty bites of the mentaiko. The pizzas here are big and come cut in 8 slices so they're perfect for sharing. The carbonara is also a delicious pasta and I'd recommend it for first comers. The shoyu beef pasta is great if you want something umami and light. The mustard chicken appetizer was crispy and juicy. I'd come back for the katsu bolognese pasta and mushroom medley pizza. They also have a lunch special for $18.50 on weekdays. Service was fast but I wish they had comfier seating. Definitely recommend!

I visited Casa Mia after seeing a video of this place online, and it looked pretty good. The food was okay, nothing great. I did not enjoy the tofu skin pizza (it felt like it was missing something), but the carbonara was pretty good. All in all, the service was decent (regular service, nothing spectacular), and the food was okay. I personally don't think I'd come back here, unfortunately.

I have heard a lot about this place and it has been on my radar for a while. Went with some colleagues. First of all, this place serves some seriously delicious and great value food for sure! We ordered a variety of food - from the risotto to pizza and pasta. Their salmon shimeji mushroom risotto was so flavorful with strong umami taste. Only surprise and complaint was the serving portion too little/small. I think the risotto and the Mentaiko mochi mayo cheese pizza are the highlights! The spicy cod roe and mentaiko mayo and mochi added to the pizza gave it a uniquely delicious and creamy texture with thin crispy crust that we like. I would come back for these two dishes. We also had their vegetable pomodoro pasta which has good flavor profile but nothing special in my opinion. Service was average. Kept asking if we needed any other order (few times- once not long after we were seated and our food has not been served to us yet?!). I guess the waitress and kitchen wanted to wrap up by 2pm for their break. That was the only complaint I have. Ambiance - they have two outside tables for those who like outdoor dining. Parking can get a little tough in that plaza during day.

Finally got to try this place one evening with my friend! We brought our dogs so we sat outside, the patio was a cute little space. Unfortunately, the heater wasn't working that night, so hopefully they get that fixed soon since it's starting to get colder. Other than that, it was a nice spot. Our waitress was super friendly and checked in on us often, so service was great! Food: We came during their weekday happy hour and ordered the takoyakis. They were actually pretty good, especially for the happy hour price. I got the strawberry milk tea (hot) and my friend got the yakult berry (cold) and both were delicious, the yakult berry was refreshing! For food, we tried the Mentaiko Cream and Salmon Shimeji pastas. Both were cooked al dente, so if you like your pasta with that perfect bite, I'd definitely recommend it. Photobooth: There's a cute little setup near the entrance with a bench, props, and some decor which was such a fun touch for photos!

It was fairly busy on a Monday evening around 7:30 PM but we got to sit outside. The table was fairly small for how much we ordered so we kept having to shift things around. Nowhere to put my bag (the back of the chairs were too round) so I just put it in my lap. The water glasses (mason jars with handles) weren't thoroughly cleaned since I found a piece of carrot stuck to the side and they smelled strongly of some savory dish which was a bit off-putting. The actual food is excellent though, albeit very salty even for me. Also a lot of saffron put on for some reason. The menu is different from the one online - no grilled wagyu steak, lemon beef tongue, or the nikujyaga potato stew that I wanted to order. They did have items on the menu not shown online though, such as a curry casserole rice dish. We ordered: 1. Honey mustard chicken (appetizer) They used chicken thighs so pretty juicy. The outside isn't too crispy (even the pieces not covered in sauce) but somehow felt "hard" - not stale, but I'm not sure how to describe it because it wasn't really the same as overcooked meat either. Beautifully battered though. It came with spring mix on the bottom so that the sweet honey mustard became a dressing after we ate the chicken. 2. Tokyo style takoyaki (appetizer) Presentation was interesting - each ball came on its own soup spoon. Actual taste was standard - very savory batter with pieces of octopus in it, and covered in bonito flakes and saffron. 3. Kimuchi mochi casserole rice It's kimchi on rice covered with cheese, pieces of mochi, and more saffron. Tasty overall though it's like appetizer-sized - if you had 8 people in a party, each person could probably have just one large bite. 4. Mentaiko mayo mochi cheese pizza This was amazing. The spicy cod roe and sausage went so well with the tomato sauce and cheese. It also came with a side container of ranch dressing but the pizza was so savory already that it didn't add any extra dimension to the flavors. It's thin crust so the dough doesn't clash with the flavors.

Came by on a Friday afternoon (around 1145am) with my husband and sister for lunch. They had a few tables going but weren't completely full so we were seated fairly quickly. La Casa Mia specializes in Japanese Italian fusion and I'll be honest, I love Japanese Italian fusion. There are not enough of these restaurants! They have a lunch special available on weekdays as well. It comes with a salad, soup, a slice of pizza, and your choice of pasta. My sister opted for the special and it came with a slice of Margherita and she chose carbonara for her pasta. I decided to get their salmon shimeji spaghetti, which had salmon, shimeji mushroom, butter, soy sauce, green onion, daikon radish, and flying fish roe. I personally really liked the pasta. The texture of the pasta was great -- al dente. The sauce was light but still had a good umami to it. The salmon pieces were cooked well. The flavors all combined quite well. My husband went with their mentaiko mayo mochi cheese pizza, which had tomato sauce, spicy cod roe, mayo, mochi, sausage, potato, mentaiko mayo and greens. We've never had a Japanese styled pizza before so this was our first experience. We really enjoyed it. The mentaiko mayo definitely pulls it all together. It's a thin crusted pizza so it's not mochi bread pizza. There's mochi scattered about with the cheese so you actually can't tell it's mixed in until the pizza cools down and the mochi hardens back up. We really enjoyed this dish! Nothing was too overly heavy or overwhelming. Everything was really pleasant and I would come back for their food.

I was looking forward to Japanese/italian but I think this place just didn't do the trick for me. I got the lunch special that they have on Wednesday/Thursday to have an assortment of things. The pasta was probably my favorite of the assortment but probably not my favorite mentai cream pasta. The pizza seemed on the softer side. The soup was flavorful. The salad was a regular salad. Make sure you make a reservation and to come on time. They close early for lunch on Wednesday and doors officially closed at 1:30 so you need to finish by then. They have a really small Photo Booth area near the entrance that may be easy to miss.

La Casa Mia is a Japanese Italian fusion restaurant located in a plaza with plenty of surrounding parking spots, our 5 car party of 13 were able to find parking easily and close by on a Sunday around lunch time. Given the restaurant is smaller in size, I called to ask if a table of 13 was too large to accommodate but the nice woman on the phone happily welcomed us and advised us to make a reservation on OpenTable which was super easy. If you're a large party, put around 10 people (if you have more) and write a note to let them know the exact amount (or you can call them to update the reservation as well!). They were very detail oriented and before I could call already updated the reservation by checking my note, that was already a huge positive for me. The day of, staff was very welcoming and patient with our large party especially given two toddlers among us. They were great and provided two baby chairs for us. One of our toddler's families were running late and I really appreciated the staff being patient with our clean up toward closing time for lunch. Definitely keep an eye on the time and be considerate if you're eating close to closing as they need to prep for dinner time. For our entire table various people ordered pizzas (we pretty much ordered every pizza available except one) and a few people ordered a few pastas. Some stand out food included the mochi corn cheese pizza, I added pepperoni and basil and it was so delicious! The size of the pizzas are really great for sharing as well. The tofu skin pizza was very unique, it came with soy sauce and reminded me of a scallion pancake, not too much flavor but a great crisp and chew and the soy sauce helps! The mentaiko mochi pizza was also good, mochi and chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside which was perfect! One of my favorite pizzas was the mushroom medley which had a variety of mushrooms as a topping and was absolutely delicious. I didn't get to try the pastas personally but one of my cousins said the uni pasta was great, had a strong uni flavor and was creamy. The sukiyaki pasta is also a very unique flavor and had sukiyaki beef but my cousin said the sukiyaki flavor is subtle which can be suitable for some and maybe not for others. My other cousin raved about the carbonara. We also ordered the sangria pitcher which was solid and plentiful (filled about 5-6 cups with one refill) and I really enjoyed the kimono sparkling drinks, the yuzu and tangerine were both tart and refreshing. Bathroom was clean and decor is just so cute here! Again we really appreciated their patience with such a large group and the food is so good! I definitely want to come back to try some of the other entrees and maybe some of their cocktails. Thank you for great customer service and attention to detail. Your restaurant and staff made a wonderful lunch spot for our cousin's going away party. See you soon La Casa Mia!

Tucked in the back of a plaza, La Casa Mia features the unique fusion of Italian Japanese cuisine, which is something that I didn't think would go well, so I didn't have the highest of expectations. We started with the Tokyo style takoyaki, which was delicious and hot, but it was what you would expect from takoyaki, which I appreciate. Bread service came with toasted baguettes and a whipped smoky butter, but for me it was a skip. The meat sauce mochi pizza was delicious, the chewy mochi crust with the corn and cheese on top, it was great. However, the star of the show was the carbonara. I should preface this by saying I almost never order carbonaras because they've never really been good or just were not made correctly. But the one at La Casa Mia is one that I would order just for myself, and you would have order your own because I'm not sharing. Interior is very cute, cushioned benches with pillows all over the place. They also have a little gift display in the front with ceramics for sale which I thought was so cute. My only complaint is that the heater was RIPPING. It was extremely warm, which at first felt nice, but then eventually did feel like hot flashes. Overall, 10/10 would come back again.

Was excited to try this Japanese/Italian restaurant, got last minutes same day reservation at 7:45pm. Got seated right away when we arrived around 7:40pm. We ordered couple things to share: 1. Garlic edamame: the flavor was good 2. Fries with truffle oil: used real potatoes and loved the taste, probably the fav item of this dinner for all of us 3. Carbonara: this was probably the least fav, didn't really have that rich/creamy carbonara sauce we were looking for. 4. Uni pasta: taste was good, good portion of uni and fish roe 5. Mentaiko Mayo Mochi Cheese Pizza: the taste was interesting, it wasn't good nor bad, but it kind of taste like the hotdog bread from 85 degrees, probably won't order again Overall the food was good, but not super good

Japanese style Italian restaurant. I was hyped but food was very mediocre. Nothing special and felt over priced. I did however enjoyed the mentaiko potato pizza I asked for take out. It felt like the decor and the food didn't match. Servers were nice. I miss the Izakaya Iroriya that used to be here.

It's hard to find Japanese style western food in the bay. This place delivers. I've had several items on the menu and they were all very tasty! Service is great. As I'm writing this, I'm thinking about their beef stew. I gotta go back soon!

Italian and Japanese are my 2 favorite types of cuisine, so when I heard about La Casa Mia from a friend I added this straight to my Yelp Bookmarks and beelined right on over to this place! We lucky squeezed in during dinner time and were able to sit down right away without waiting, which was nice. The inside is very cottage-core with rustic accents and homey touches all throughout. The restaurant has a small market of goods from Japan, too, like little Miffy plates, bowls, and more. We ordered 4 things: - Bread with butter: fluffy and light with a light, whipped butter - Garlic edamame: edamame with plenty of garlic and chili oil - Mentaiko Risotto: salmon and roe in creamy risotto- beautifully plated and tasty, though pretty heavy and a smidge salty (if you like the saltiness of roe, it'll be perfect for you though) - Spaghetti Ragu with Tonkatsu: SO GOOD! The pasta sauce had a nice touch of wine which made it taste quite fancy, and the tonkatsu on top was a great addition. Servers were friendly and kind, and everything came out fairly quickly. Price came to just shy of $90 for those 4 things, which was slightly higher than I thought it would be considering we didn't get drinks or dessert, but all together the beautiful presentation, unique combinations of flavors, and overall quality made it worth it in my opinion! Stop by this place for a cool blend of cultures, especially if you're looking to try something new!

This place has been on my to try list after seeing it on my Instagram feed. I love a good Mentaiko pasta so I was curious to try it at La Casa Mia. We finally came to celebrate my fiancés' birthday. I got the mentaiko cream spaghetti since I love mentaiko and he got the meat sauce tonkatsu. Both were delicious! His portion was very large and the tonkatsu was very crispy and well done in breading. We also got a pizza to share since we saw the table next to us had one and it looked to be a popular dish. We honestly were super full when the pizza came but I tried a slice. It was interesting with the mochi texture and I dipped it in the sauce that it came with which turned out to be ranch. I think overall it was alright as I couldn't taste the mentaiko that well and it was mostly a cheese pizza to me. Would probably skip ordering this again and just go for the pastas. Overall it was a delicious meal and the restaurant is super cute and decorated like a little cottage. Seating at the table was a bit awkward because of how low the table is when seated in the corner table by the window.

I had heard a lot of hype on La Casa Mia but unfortunately, it did not deliver. We came without a reservation and got seated, though it was a full house. It's a pretty small place so expect to sit quite close to others. It felt kind of like we were at someone's house -- which might be what they are going for due to the name? It was also super hot outside and inside.. I ordered takoyaki to start, as well as the mentaiko cream pasta. The takoyaki was decent, nothing special. The mentaiko cream pasta though, was a let-down. Not only was it not hot temperature-wise, but it was also tasteless. When I asked for some salt and added it to the dish, it didn't amplify it as much as I had hoped. It just felt like it was lacking in the umami and depth department. My husband got the meat sauce pasta with pork cutlet which was definitely better than mine, but still overall not comparable to any Japanese & Italian fusion restaurants in Japan, sadly.

10/10!!! We made a reservation for 7pm on a Friday and were seated right away. Baguette Slices: we were so surprised by how delicious these were. Super light and paired really well with the smoked whipped butter. We got all 3 refills!! Honey Mustard Chicken: crispy and so moist! Carbonara: fresh, chewy pasta with a creamy, umami sauce. Insanely good. Meat Sauce Mochi Pizza: the mochi added the perfect chew. Comfort food with such a fun twist. We loved every dish we tried. Next time around, I think we'd get one of the salads or edamame to balance out all the heavy food. We can't wait to come back and try the rest of their dishes!

Was visiting from L.A.area and enjoying trying good food when traveling. This place did not disappoint. The noodles and clam dish had a clean taste and was filling. My son had a seafood pasta and was pleased as well. Oir dinner came with a complimentary salad and soup. The broth and dressing on salad had delicious flavors. The restaurant is quaint and super adorably decorated. The service outstanding. Attentive waitress with darling personality. The portion size was just right! Thank you!!
