La Casa della Pasta Carrollwood Review

La Case Della Pasta is an authentic Italian restaurant located in Carrollwood. They also have a new location on Columbus ave. They serve beer & wine. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

They very first thing you notice pulling in at night is how nice their outdoor seating area looks. We dined outside, since this Florida weather has been the best.

We had (All Pictured)

• Beef Carpaccio $10
• Vite Milanese $22
• Vitello Mare E Monti $22
• Nutella Mousse $10
• Cannollis $10

The Beef Carpaccio had Parmesan cheese, wild mushrooms, and olive oil. It was great! The only thing that could have made it better, was to use truffle oil instead of olive oil. With the healthy portion size and price, I do understand not using truffle oil though.

The Vite Milanese is veal scallopini lightly breaded, topped with fresh greens, tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. It was not what I expected it to look like, but turned out to be better!

The Vitello Mare E Monti is Veal scallopini, topped with asparagus, crab meat, and fontina cheese, with a chianti glaze reduction sauce.

The Nutella Mousse is a special dessert that's not normally on the menu. It was great.

TAMPA — The lure of homemade pasta and sauces created a loyal following for Enrique Tangari when he opened his first Casa della Pasta north of Carrollwood five years ago. But between bites of fettuccine and veal scallopini, says Tangari, customers clamored for a more central location.

"I have judges, lawyers, doctors and politicians coming for authentic Italian cuisine who want me to open in South Tampa,'' said Tangari, who left his native Bari, Italy, some 15 years ago.
