We got La Casa to feed a hungry crowd on Saturday night. I ordered online--super easy! I usually avoid carryout here because their parking lot gives me hives, but I saw they now have designated carside pickup spots. Hopeful, I placed a hefty $160 order and braced for battle.
When we arrived, the lot was completely packed. No designated pickup spots in sight. Luckily, we snagged the last spot and called in. Then... we waited. And waited. Ten minutes past pickup time, I was about to head inside when I spotted confused staff wandering the lot. I jumped out, helped them find us, and finally secured the goods.
Once home, everything smelled amazing--except we noticed something tragic. No toasted ravioli. Our favorite appetizer had been forgotten. I didn't bother calling--it wasn't worth a 20-minute drive and parking rage round two. Still a bummer.
Now, the food:
Honey Sriracha Wings: DELICIOUS. Sticky, crispy, sweet-heat perfection. Total crowd favorite.
Pizza: Tasty as always, but the "large" pizza is more like a medium. We should've ordered two--zero leftovers.
Pasta: Mostaccioli and penne pollo balsamico were solid. Cheese ravioli in garlic cream sauce was good, but I'd skip the primavera veggies next time (too much squash for me).
Minestrone Soup: Meh. Could've used more seasoning. The roll that came with it? Ice cold. Like, borderline frozen.
Side salads & meatballs: Nothing to write home about, but they did their job.
La Casa is an Omaha classic, and I get the hype. But between the parking drama and missing ravioli, this visit was a little hit or miss. We'll be back--probably for wings--but maybe on a night we feel emotionally prepared for the pickup process.
