As you open the doors to La Casa Pasta, your senses will be stimulated. The aromas of freshly-pressed pasta, delicately made sauces and warm, baked breads fill the air. Critics will agree that the tastes are even more satisfying. Set in classic Italian decor, our marble floors, breathtaking art and stone statues representing our heritage will surely impress you and your guests. Chef and Owner Giuseppe Martuscelli's roots and knowledge of fine foods and wines originated in the town of Santa Maria Di Castellabate near Salerno, Italy. Giuseppe came to America with the Italian Navy in 1967 and returned to stay in 1973, settling in Newark, Delaware to open La Casa Pasta in 1978. Since then, he has made it his goal to serve only the most authentic Northern and Southern Italian foods. Each year, he travels back to his homeland and beyond to learn new recipes and import ingredients not to be found in the states. Giuseppe's recipe for success has proven itself for over the years and La Casa Pasta is a landmark to people around the country. Generations of families and critics alike will agree that La Casa Pasta is authentic Italian cooking that satisfies your appetite and makes you feel right at home.
