Casa Grande Pizzeria - Winnipeg

Excellent pizza at reasonable rates.  Toppings were fresh and abundant.  The restaurant itself is quite small and dated.  Especially the bathrooms (yikes)  But I didn't go the atmosphere.  The food is the star and is well worth the visit.

Best pizza in Winnipeg...friendly and excellent service for such a busy restaurant.I especially liked the pizza but my friend really enjoyed the Fettuccini carbonara..Ive been coming here for years and I recommend it to everyone.

Casa Grande serves authentic Italian meal. I was recommended by a colleague to check this place out so I took my family here last night! <br/ <br/ The exterior of the restaurant is quite outdated, however, the inside is like nothing you would expect! Its decor and the dimmed lighting give a nice touch to the ambient setting, which I enjoyed very much. <br/ <br/ Our entrees came with antipasto, Italian salad and garlic bread to start. For entree, we ordered the Fettuccine Carbonara, the Il Padrino pizza meat lover pizza and the Veal Con Fungi breaded veal cutlet topped with white wine sauce with a side of spaghetti.<br/ <br/ The fettuccine carbonara was exceptionally creamy and flavourful! I would totally get this again! <br/ <br/ The pizza was phenomenal! Its thick crust was crunchy, yet light and fluffy on the inside. The pizza was fully loaded with meat and cheese, it was definitely one of the best pizzas that we have had in town! <br/ <br/ The veal was good, except it was way too salty. We raised our concern of how salty the veal was to the server and he fully acknowledged it, which we appreciated very much. <br/ <br/ Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Casa Grande and would totally come back again! Its price range is comparable to the majority of Italian restaurants in town. However, at Casa Grande, you're definitely getting what you pay for because all meals come with massive portions. If you're looking for an authentic Italian restaurant, this is it!

Driving down Sargent ave trying to decide what to eat for dinner and decided to stop in at Casa Grande and give it a try. It has a classic Italian restaurant look;red and white checkered table clothes, brick and arches, pictures of old Italian guys on the wall, etc. <br/ <br/ We ordered calamari to start, and while I liked the flavours, I felt that either they didn't fry it long enough or the oil wasn't hot enough, as the batter didn't crisp up. <br/ <br/ Had a salad as well, which I did enjoy. I thought the shredded mozzarella was a good touch. <br/ <br/ Then came my pizza. Delicious! Crisp crust, nice amount of cheese and toppings. My only regret was that I didn't order a larger size. <br/ <br/ The service was good, too. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back.

Make a reservation! Theres only a dozen or so tables. And dont bother going to the second floor, always a party going on up there and your meal WILL be ruined... trust me. The main floor is very nice, dimly lit, candles, wood walls. Some of the round tables are rickety and sloped so if you are a group of 4 or less, ask for a square table. The marinara sauce they use on the pasta is awesome! Some of the best ive ever had... tangy and well seasoned. The spaghetti we had was perfectly cooked, i find most places slightly overcook so its too tender. we both had chicken parm and it was great, breaded chicken with marinara, cheese and parmesan cheese. Anyone ever notice how at many places the chicken parm has no parm???? Well this place does, and they even have a parm shaker on the table to add more! (dehydrated parm though).The garlic bread isnt anything to write home about, very simple, but still good and half a loaf of bread! The bruschetta was nice but just average. The salad was really good! not huge but really nice dressing. The guy serving us was hilarious! I had my phone on the table because I just finished snapping pictures, and he came with our pepsi and pretended to put it on my phone and said 'coaster? ' we all laughed and then he said 'theres an app for that! ' and walked away. awesome! Overall nice little place, worth taking a look at, can get a bit noisy at times though.
