We found this place randomly after going to Ridley creek. We enjoyed a chicken, veal, shrimp and pasta dish. All were fresh, flavorful and tasted made to order. Wines were good and all but one dessert were great. We would return. Prices are reasonable for quality and portions they offer.

Even though my daughter did not enjoy her veal parm (she said it tasted "like soap") and my father did not enjoy his lamb chops (they were "just fair"). My husband, mother and I enjoyed our dishes. (My mom and I shared the Veal Francaise - which was delicious and, thankfully, not drowning in butter-sauce as we asked for it "light" on the sauce). Salads were super fresh and the best part for me was the screppelle soup. Awesome. Good service, too. My 10 year old wanted to give this place 2 stars but I like it here and next time I am coming without her. Meanwhile, she polished off her New York Cheesecake for dessert with no problems and I enjoyed a perfect cappuccino. So there!

Love the scrapple soup, I can't find that anywhere now a days so I was so happy to see they had it, and they make it deliciously!! I love the caprese as well.

We've known of this establishment for a while but didn't entertain the idea of eating there until we came across a restaurant.com deal. What a mistake. We enjoyed our meal and drinks, ironically discussing how nice it is to support local family businesses. What happened next when we presented our restaurant.com certificate is unprecedented. The server told us that the certificate was not valid on alcohol, though it stated this no where on our certificate. She said she would go show the manager, and we assumed the matter would be resolved. After ten minutes, she returned and told us that her manager refused to accept the certificate. We politely asked to speak with the manager. The manager rushed over to the table with "her copy" of a restaurant.com certificate and asked us "What can I do for you that she didn't explain?" We replied that we would like our certificate to be accepted since this exclusion was not present on our certificate. She responded by showing us "her certificate" and telling us that discounting alcohol is illegal in PA. We tried to explain that we use restaurant.com all the time and a restaurant in PA has never made this claim. I am a law student at Temple, so I refuted this claim politely. She responded by mocking me. We also pointed out the fact that restaurants that choose not to include alcohol clearly display this on the website and every coupon. Then, the owner, who had been drinking beer at a table alone, since we had arrived, angrily approached our table and began yelling at us and emphatically waving his hands wildly. At this point, we explained that this was our first time eating there, and we were unlikely to come back. He replied "I don't care if you come back! You're no good for this place, and this place is no good for you!" Then, a random waitress stormed over to the table and started getting in our face, telling us that it says so on the certificate. Now surrounded by three hostile employees/owners screaming at us, we acquiesced to pay the bill and leave. The manager and random waitress left the table and processed our bill. The owner returned to his beer and continued to harass us from across the room. As mentioned earlier, our food and waitress were excellent, so it's understandable that other people have provided good reviews. But, good luck if you any problem with your meal and wish to get it resolved by management or the owner.

My wife and I were visiting a friend at the hospital across the street yelped this place up and were very pleasantly surprised. Great menu selection service top notch. The manager came over and asked us how we liked our meal the wait staff was always attentive but not intrusive and the food was outstanding. My wife had a coconut crusted fish dish which she loved and I had the double cut stuffed pork chop which I'm still thinking about a week later. Definitely recommended I'll talk about this place to my friends go and try this place it's great.

I too was at the restaurant for the first time last night. We found the food excellent and staff very pleasant. The only issue we had was the loud belligerent so called law student who was clearly trying to make a scene. So everyone in the restaurant had to endure his loud complaining and threatening the staff that he would go on yelp ,until he and his dinner companion finally left. At that point we all enjoyed the rest of our dinner.

CAUTION: This restaurant sells discount gift certificates on the restaurant.com website. BUT DO NOT BUY THEM, BECAUSE THE RESTAURANT WILL NOT HONOR THEM. The gift certificate says it's valid on purchases over $50, but apparently there's a new owner who has CHANGED the terms to exclude alcohol. Terms should NOT be changed after people make a purchase. Not a way to encourage repeat business - I know I'm never going back there, with or without a gift certificate, because this is ripping people off. FOOD: I've had Italian dishes and American dishes at this restaurant, and neither are anything to write home about. The food is so-so, nothing better than what you'd get at Olive Garden or anywhere else that would be cheaper. They also tend to be skimpy on the ingredients that constitute the price (e.g., hardly any chicken in the Chicken Caesar Salad, and hardly any shrimp in the Shrimp Pasta). I will say, however, that the bruschetta appetizer was tasty. (But let's face it, how hard is it to pile chopped tomato onto toasted bread.) COCKTAILS: The drinks are VERY WEAK, overdoing it on the mixer and skimping on the alcohol. (Gee, I'm noticing a pattern......Was that a bird?......"cheep cheep"!) SERVICE: Service from wait staff and bartenders is fair. No complaints, but no kudos either. The owner sits at a table with his buddies, drinking, eating, and yucking it up (sometimes annoyingly loud and intrusive). I would expect the owner to visit customer tables and make nice, see if people are satisfied, etc., but he didn't do this in the entire two hours I was there. WAY TO GO! Rip people off, cheat them on food and drinks, and don't even bother to say hello to the people paying the bills. Yeah, this place will last...... I will not return to Casa Mia, I do not recommend Casa Mia. Go to a restaurant in Media instead, which is 5 minutes down the road and 5 times better. FINAL NOTE: There are a couple of tables for outdoor seatching, but they are sandwiched between the building (including door into the kitchen!) and the parking lot. Eating to the smell of exhaust and the sound of clanking pots and kitchen staff - how romantic.

For those who haven't recently been to Casa Mia Bistro ( near 452 and Route 1) it's really gotten quite excellent with the new owners. This a classic family-run restaurant. The drinks are reasonably priced and the food is first rate.

The pizza is terrific. I love wood-fire pizza and I think they did a great job preparing it. Their wait-staff is friendly and our waitress was hilarious. We had a fun night, enjoyed our food, and thought the prices were fair. I will visit Casa Mia again.

To Amy P, all restaurant.com gift certificates exclude alcohol and it is ludicrous to compare Casa Mia to Olive Garden. I've been there several times and have never ever been disappointed. While their regular menu is on the typical side, their specials are outstanding all the time. Their chilean sea bass is perfection and their veal parm can be cut with a fork. Service was terrific and the owner visited all tables to chat with the clientele. I would go weekly if I could!

I went to Casa Mia this past Friday with my friend for dinner and some drinks. We spent hours just hanging out and catching up. The staff was very friendly and the food was very good. It's a very nice environment to get together with some friends and hang out, and the prices are very reasonable. I would definitely go back again.

Would have been a great experience except for the veal. It was tough and chewy. Told the waitress, nothing done. Then the owner sat down, told him, nothing done. Ended up paying for an entire entree we could joy eat. I think if the owner sits down with you to find out how your meal was and you tell him and he does nothing you've got to ask why he even say down I. The first place.

Went to Casa Mia for dinner tonight. The food was great and served quickly. With the exception of waiting for a table for a while when there were 2-3 empty tables sitting right there the whole time, the service were pretty good - our waiter was prompt and courteous. My only real complaint about the place was how loud it was in there. I think it was mostly from the bar patrons, not the diners. Glad they were having a good time, but my husband and I had to literally yell to hear each other so we pretty much just stopped talking. Anyway, it's not the place for a romantic dinner - at least not on a Saturday night.

Good food, and more than just a red-gravy joint. The food is very good, service up to the task, and the prices are modest. This is fine neighborhood-style restaurant, where we'll return . . . when in Media.

We're here at Casa Mia. We had soft shell crab special entree and it was to die for!! Buttery, lemony, crunchy and soft all at once! The muscles were juicy and plump and very tomatoy. Great peroni beer. Love this place!!!
