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!
The exterior of the restaurant is quite outdated, however, the inside is like nothing you would expect!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.
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.
The fettuccine carbonara was exceptionally creamy and flavourful! I would totally get this again!
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!
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.
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.
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.
Had a salad as well, which I did enjoy. I thought the shredded mozzarella was a good touch.
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.
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.
I went for lunch here and was impressed with their , which was homemade, piled with plenty of toppings.
The restaurant is decorated in the style of a warm, traditional Italian restaurant, fit for a bunch of friends, family, or even a romantic night out for two.
Our server was really good, giving us enough space to have a private meal, but was always there when we needed something.
Definitly a must try for anyone who wants an authentic, homemade Italian experience!
They do something amazing with deep fried bread pieces & sauce. What an appetizer. Sometimes a little too noisy for my taste but food is worth it. Red checkered tablecloths and candles add a nice touch. Staff friendly & most times efficient. Pizza makes my mouth happy with all those flavors.
Third time being there tonight. Ordered two of the specialty pizzas - forget the names but one had spinach and feta along with sausage and the other was some sort of deluxe. Both were good!! I personally prefer thin crust wood fired pizza (think pizzeria gusto) but for a thick crust pizza with lots of toppings, it was great and tasted fresh. Crust was crunchy yet chewy and they didn't skimp on the toppings. I still go there for the cool little Italian environment so I'm glad to know that the food is still good.
Absolutely Delicious Pizza!. Living in St. Vital this place is quite a trek for us, but we tried it on a recommendation of a co-worker. It was great! We went on a weekend and it was very busy, but the staff was upfront about there being a long wait for pizza. It took almost 45 minutes but who cares...the ambiance was nice as it has very classic Italian restaurant feel to it. Let me tell you, the pizza was worth the wait! The thing was absolutely monstrous and all the toppings were very high quality. We only managed to finish half the pizza and we brought the rest home for another hearty meal the next day. 10/10, will be back.
Rich italian pizza. The food was great a really nice italian feel id go there again and again also very class and not to expencive ether! I also loved the soda !
Hands down the best pizza I have ever had anywhere. I travel a lot and eat in resturants all over the country. I moved to Alberta over ten years ago and when I was back in Winnipeg for a couple days I had to make time to go pick up my old favorite. Not greasy. Perfect cheese. Fresh quality toppings. I really miss this place. Perfect for a date too. If you're passing thru Winnipeg give it a try. If you live there you're going to become a regular if you eat here. There aren't many good things about Winnipeg but this is one of them.
WOW! Some of the best Italian takeout I have had. The bread is worth going here alone!
Staff super nice and massive amount of food!
Cute place to eat in. Love the old school decor.
I ordered the Casa Combo pizza, this time around. It's always a solid pie. But, the true gem is dining inside Casa Grande. I'm excited to get back in there post-pandemic and enjoy some delicious Italian food; surrounded by brick walls and old Chianti bottles at the centre of each table.
Amazing food, amazing portions, pretty good pricing for the portion size. I had the spinach manicotti and the Italian wedding soup. Everything was amazing. Service was fairly prompt and our server had a smile. Upgrades for sides were available for everything asked.
Made reservations. They have a place upstairs for dinner parties or groups. Service was great. Our servers name was Loida. She did an amazing job with making sure we were always taken care of. I'm talking about a group of 11. You can see just how big some of the pizzas were. That is a XXL. If you have a show and save book that's even a bigger bonus because there are coupons for this restaurant. The pizzas were absolutely delicious with the cheese stretching out as you pulled off a slice. My favorite kind. And I had the chicken parmesan. So delicious. My sister had the cannelloni which was just stuffed! Also delicious! Great sized portions! I recommend it. Also included a picture of the downstairs dining area. Great for date nights!
The food and the service are great. The portions are big, and that's why it becomes expensive...The cost of the lasagna in the picture is 21 CAD. It's a really good option, but it's a little bit expensive. Other than that, good experience!
Really Great Pizza!!!
Great food, garlic bread and bruschetta was nice, would have been better with real calbrease bread. But other then that, the pizza was great!! Service was excellent! Nice night out!
Excellent pasta and very friendly service. Lots of layers in the baked lasagna. Fettuccini with chicken was excellent
