“Wednesday Pasta night is the best. Had a terrific meal there this week. First of all, this place has been meticulously restored. The attention to detail is fantastic. And the food was excellent. Started with a tuna tartare taco and it was great. Generous portion. Then on to the pasta bar. So many choice made while you wait. And they encourage seconds and to go portions. Server could not have been nicer. Well worth it.“

“01.06.25 'Big Al's Reel Reviews' Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant Es Tu Casa 'Mi Casa' (Is your home my home) in the City of New London? 🤷🏾‍♂️ Well I am sure that I will be back for more delicious Mexican food. I gave them two 👍🏾👍🏾 due to serving me two amazing meals this evening! I will be honest and admit that the prices are a little bit "heavy" compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area but overall I really enjoyed my meals and the atmosphere at Mi Casa's a lot!

“I discovered this place when looking for a restaurant with some vegetarian options for a family member after visiting the Book Barn... and now every time I'm in the area, I make a point to stop here to grab food. I live a fair distance away and it's always worth a trip. The staff is friendly and helpful, the food is delicious and decently priced, and the restaurant itself has a cool vibe. The pulled pork gordita and burrito are favorites of mine and my partner. I'd definitely recommend coming on a warm spring day and eating outside (maybe with a book from the Book Barn!).“
