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.

    Great atmosphere and efficient friendly waitresses. Nice to eat something different Service was fast and the place spotless. Sardines and tortilla lovely Didn’t like the mustard mayonnaise dotted all over the paella, which otherwise was nice. Dessert was very small and our meal overall was expensive for what we had.

    Our second visit here to the lovely Casita. Service was good although I do believe the‘while you waits’ may have been a little quicker. Our favourite tapas were the sumptuous beef and amazing mussel dish and I’m usually blah about mussels! Chicken a bit bland. I believe you used to do chicken wings which were tastier. A good evening and service

    This is the third year running we have eaten here since the new management took over. We previous knew the last owner. The food and service was good. I can recommended the Paella and the Elton Mess. One downside is they don’t have draught beer.

    Really enjoyed eating at this popular restaurant in Carbis Bay. The food was delicious and very authentic Spanish. Would definitely recommend, but you do need to book in advance, as it's very popular!!

    Lovely staff, welcoming restaurant. Authentic Spanish food but with a great pizza offering along side, therefore can cater to all tastes. Will definitely return and recommend to others.

    The food was astounding. I’ll be thinking of those chilli and lime shrimp and the chargrilled steak for the foreseeable future. Also the staff was amazing. The place was packed but with just two of them they left no one without great service. Loved it!
