Casa Mamma
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!

A real gem amidst the hustle and bustle of King’s Cross. A traditional family-run Italian restaurant with good friendly service and excellent food. I rate it very highly.
Lovely food, fabulous atmosphere, great service, we’ll definitely go again. - A fantastic experience with great staff - what a find - we loved it.
We had a delicious meal with prompt, excellent service. The staff were very friendly and professional. The atmosphere in the restaurant was cosy. We will be back !
An excellent restaurant. Recommended by my son who works in London. Always had excellent food quality there. An excellent quick service also. Extremely helpful staff. Very close to Kings Cross/St Pancras, so I have used it when travelling through those stations. Much nicer than sitting in the usual noisy chain restaurants/cafes in the stations. I would highly recommend a visit!
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.
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.
I HAVE VISITED CASA MAMA WITH FRIENDS ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS. THE STAFF ARE SECOND TO NONE, THE FOOD IS VERY GOOD AND EXCELLENT VALUE AND THE RESTAURANT HAS A LOVELY ATMOSPHERE. I AM GOING AGAIN FOR CHRISTMAS LUNCH WITH 14 MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY.
Nice welcome. Food no better or worse than other Italian restaurants we have visited but I prefer the more cosy atmosphere at my favourite Bistro Benito in Earls court which feels much more family Italian being a Bistro. Slight problem with our waiter forgetting the olives with our bread but all in all a fairly pleasant experience which probably would be better in the evening.
This is a lovely restaurant. They were great with my little girl and have a kids’ menu. I have the chicken and artichoke dish which was absolutely delicious. Recommended! And great to see a non-chain restaurant surviving the redevelopment of Kings’s Cross.
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.
