Good quality, soft meat and they know how to properly prepare it. If you ask for medium rare you actually get medium rare. The Lamb chops and Portuguese steak were awesome but first price goes to the Espetada, if you like enough meat, this is it. Not to mention the espressos, everything is just nice.

Again, not sure how people rate... Anyway, as already mentioned it is difficult to give impartial reviews. I understand and hear the locals support, but not great pizzas here, plain and bland, very disappointed, the pasta was tasty but not that special. The service was good but really do not understand how such prices can be charged for the food we had.

Brilliant pizza and pasta. Local and family run. Excellent service. Fast service. So fast it’s ridiculous. Excellent pricing. Rustic but real. Been there 25 times. Never failed to deliver. Thoroughly recommend.

We had a lovely time at Casareccio. Pizza bases thin and crispy. Perfectly done! Gluten-free and banting options also available. Lots of other options on the menu as well. Service friendly, fast and efficient even though it was quite busy. Very nice to see a restaurant full like this on a week night. Owner present and hands-on, which always makes a huge difference. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Casareccio is conveniently located on the main road going out to Chapmans Peak and a great stop for cyclists, motorcycle groups and others for a quick bite or coffee en route. Not a great view or fancy for a special evening or event, but good value, food and service. Awesome local spot.

Had a very pleasant lunchtime pizza experience yesterday. I travel to Italy a lot, so have developed a preference for crispy bases, these were a little bit soft, but otherwise great meal, fresh ingredients and quick service. Great affordable wine list. Shall certainly be back and will also try their breakfast.

Whether its a cold and windy day, or the sun is shining happily, Casareccio offers the ideal spot to satisfy your grumbling tummy and make some cherished memories with your loved ones. I myself was treated to a delectable Frutti Di Mare Taglietelle with a tomato based sauce that danced across my taste buds and an assortment of fresh seafood that left me smelling that salty sea air even whilst I sat at my table. An assortment of wines and alcoholic beverages offered that good time atmosphere, whilst hot chocolate or a good cup of freshly brewed coffee made you feel right at home.This family-run, little piece of Italy is a true gem on the coast, and is my new go-to spot for those days when youre just craving that mouth-watering, traditional Italian meal.Hats off to the impeccable service, homely atmosphere and delectable food!

This food gem should not be passed without stopping for some great food or coffee. If you like Italian, you will love it here. Since theres also a Portugese part in the ownership, the food can be spiced in a great way. The service is just topnotch. The crew has been serving us for years sometimes and its always great to walk in and greet them. Their positive attitude just makes you smile. Wish we had that service up here! Open form breakfast till late. Thanks George!

Been there before with friends. Always loved their chicken peri peri and chips. Tonight the chips were dry and awful and the chicken was awful. No taste! I sent it back. The pasta my partner had wasnt that good as the same one we had 5 days ago, so possibly a different chef tonight, but I also noticed 8 empty tables at 8.30pm on a Saturday night, so not a good sign.

The waiters were not particularly attentive. I was not greeted by the door and had to ask for the bill 10 minutes after my meal was finished. The waiter did not follow up on the food nor the bill. I get the idea things are a bit looser when Jorgé is not there.Food was very good.
