About Casa Mamma
King’s Cross can seem a little impersonal and alienating at times, with so many people in such a hurry to get around. If you’re needing a respite from the hustle and bustle, an oasis of calm and friendliness in the centre of London, then you need Casa Mamma. Their name, if you haven’t guessed, means Mum’s House, and they’ve been going since 1993, a testament to Franco and his team’s dedication to creating a family atmosphere and a traditional Italian welcome. Their menu is packed with the classics of the genre: antipasti to start, soups and salads, pasta, gnocchi and risotto to follow and a range of fish, meat and vegetarian dishes as main courses. We’d plump for a grilled river trout with rosemary and garlic dressing or a steak flamed in brandy, wine and peppercorns. You can find them on Gray’s Inn Road in the very centre of London, and remember to book ahead – they’re very popular with locals and will get busy from time to time!

5 of us getting together for a catch up... the food was lovely, mixed bunch of vegetarians and carnivores all happily full by the end of the meal. The charming waiters were attentive without being pushy and we didn't feel rushed to finish and leave - we took 3 hours in the end to catch up! We were very pleasantly surprised by the bill which included 2 bottles of wine. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who would like good pizza or pasta in a great environment. We'll definitely be going back.
As usual we had excellent service and a superb meal, attentive friendly staff. The menu was extensive and more than covered our requirements. Many thanks, we will definitely recommend you and we will return.
We were a family of 11, ranging in age from 3 to 70s and had a wonderful meal. Excellent service and everyone enjoyed their choice of meal (even the children). Would choose again when next visiting London.
Food was lovely, shared the veggie pizza and the calzone- both were delicious! Nice wine and service too :) would definitely visit again. The waiter took my suitcase and stored it away from the table which was really helpful too!
What a gorgeous place to eat. Lovely atmosphere. We had children with us who were a dream to feed. They loved it all. The pizza and spaghetti bologese went down a treat with them. The owner and waiter couldn't have been anymore helpful. Had olives and garlic bread to start and then fantastic main meals. Great family feel about the restaurant. Downstairs there is more seating. Enough space without being cramped. Great personal service. A fantastic choice fir a meal and a 2 minute walk from Kings Cross ...ideal.
Traditional Italian for very reasonable price in London. Staff were friendly despite us running late (and having an extra person; 6 rather than 5). Slow service to start, hence dropping one mark to 5/6. Once we had ordered the food was provided in a timely fashion. Recommend the Pizza.
Great little Italian restaurant located near Kings cross station. Very well priced and does fantastic pizzas for less than a tener...And the waiters are fun as well
Fantastic food and staff, very reasonably priced. This was my second visit and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others. A very authentic Italian restaurant!
Book ahead, you know it makes sense. The service and food were great, I heartily recommend visiting this restaurant, I will next time in London.
Great little find, food was great and the staff were friendly. I had Spaghetti Milianase which was delicious. Good portions and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend
Met friends for lunch and enjoyed the fact that we could hold a conversation in a pleasant atmosphere with good food and a glass of wine.
Abrupt first impression as they were very busy and I forgot to change our booking from 5 people to 4 but once sat, the food and service was lovely.
Good food, good service, dated decor but a feel of authenticity to the place. People kept coming and going all night so nice atmosphere. All the family enjoyed.
Service by young waiters was slow and careless compared with several years ago. No olive oil on the table, no offer of bread, no ground pepper. We wont be going back when there is so much competition.
We had a nice meal but my jacket got drenched in a leak from next door and the owner could not see why this bothered me and was very dismissive.
Pasta dishes on the small side but the pizza looks nice and authentic. I had a salad which was OK nothing special and certainly not worth the price.
