Casa Tua King's Cross is a cosy Italian restaurant on Cromer Street, opened in 2016 as the second Casa Tua location. Its name means your home, an idea reflected in the intimate bistro atmosphere, warm hospitality and focus on Southern Italian comfort food.
Fresh pasta is made by hand and paired with slowly cooked sauces, including simple spaghetti with tomato and basil, carbonara made with egg and cheese, and a rich Bolognese. Stone baked pizza and regional Italian main dishes broaden the lunch and dinner menu.
Breakfast and brunch add another side to the restaurant, while panini provide an easy option for a quicker meal. Vegetarian and gluten free choices are available, and desserts such as tiramisu, cannoli and homemade ice cream complete the Italian progression.
Italian wines and Giuseppe's Aperol Spritz suit a relaxed evening in the compact dining room or on the outdoor terrace. The downstairs space can host groups and private events, while the location works well for diners travelling through King's Cross and St Pancras.
Address: 106 Cromer Street, London WC1H 8BZ, England
