Case Mia

Casa Mia has been a reliable neighbourhood Italian in East Molesey for over 11 years, and that kind of longevity doesn't happen by accident. Run by Giuseppe and his team, it's the sort of place where you get a proper welcome, a generous plate of pasta, and a glass of house red without any fuss. The a la carte menu covers all the Italian classics you'd expect — think risottos, fresh pasta, veal dishes, and a solid selection of daily specials that keep regulars coming back. Tripadvisor reviewers have consistently rated it well, with over 340 reviews averaging 4.2 stars, praising the friendly service and generous portions.

The location is a big part of the charm. Sitting on Bridge Road in Hampton Court Village, it's perfectly positioned for a meal after a day wandering around Hampton Court Palace or a stroll along the Thames. The dining room is cosy and traditionally decorated — nothing flashy, but comfortable and welcoming in that way only long-running family Italian restaurants seem to manage.

As of 2024, Casa Mia is closed for refurbishment under new management, with Giuseppe stepping back after 11 years (he's moved on to Ristorante Sorrento in Surbiton if you want to follow him). The new team will be carrying the torch, so it's worth checking their website or calling ahead before you plan a visit. If the new incarnation keeps the same spirit, it'll remain one of East Molesey's better Italian options.
