Italian tradition, handmade in Jávea

Since 1999, La Casa della Pasta has been serving simple, honest Italian cooking in Jávea, with homemade fresh pasta as the star.

Cristina and Fabio, the heart of the house

Cristina and Fabio, an Italian-Dutch couple, are behind this family restaurant, which has been bringing the authentic taste of Italian cooking to Jávea since 1999. Over the years it has become a benchmark for Cucina Italiana in the heart of the town, with one clear idea: quality ingredients, tradition and warmth in every dish.

Pasta and fillings made by hand

Homemade fresh pasta is the house signature: spaghetti, linguine, rigatoni and, above all, filled pasta, whose dough and filling are both made by hand. The menu is completed by cold and hot starters, risotti, meat and fish, traditional homemade desserts and a large selection of Italian wines. Guests with coeliac disease have a special section on the menu.

A cosy dining room and a terrace among plants

Besides the indoor dining room, the restaurant has a spacious terrace surrounded by plants, with a relaxed atmosphere, suited both to intimate meals and to gatherings with family or friends, under the Jávea sun or by starlight. As gifts, they offer vouchers of 30, 40 and 60 euros.
