Most Disliked
While much love adorns Casa a Roma, some guests point out noise levels during peak hours as a downside, potentially impacting conversations. Families and groups tend to be lively, so if you’re after a quiet dinner, choose your timing wisely.
A handful of diners note that the service can slow down when the restaurant is busier, despite the staff's best efforts to keep pace. This might lead to longer wait times for meals, especially during popular dinner hours, a consideration for those on a schedule.
Additionally, while the atmosphere is generally warm and inviting, a few patrons wish for more space between tables for added privacy during their meals. Nonetheless, these minor nuisances often pale compared to the overall positive dining experience.

This Italian restaurant is a must-try! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was fantastic. The waiters were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. The cozy atmosphere added to the charm, but it did get quite loud, which might be a consideration for some diners. Overall, a fantastic dining experience!

"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" (This is coming from a person who is not a great lover of Italian cuisine) But for me, I found everything was just perfect & warranted the 5 stars. The staff were super friendly and helpful (a rarity in this day & age) The menu was vast & exciting, with something to offer every pallet. All served in a clean, well decorated, pleasant atmosphere. We will most definitely be returning.

Really impressed. Went after a long days hike. We had two of the fish platters to start which was really nice. For main we all had the Romano base which we thought was worth it and it was! We were stuffed from this and couldn’t manage a dessert but would highly recommend. Staff very attentive as well.

Warm and cozy Italian in the heart of Whitehaven. Book in advance as it always seems to be busy, plenty of classic dishes well cooked and setved with a smile. Loved the pizza and the tiramisu was the best I've had, all fairly priced. Highly recommended.

Great local Italian restaurant with good atmosphere and great food. Very friendly service, generous portions and the genius to create a Calzone Kiev pizza. Which was amazing!
