Casinha Velha in Leiria offers traditional Portuguese cuisine. Positive reviews highlight its warm, home-like atmosphere, attentive service, and high-quality food, particularly homemade bread, cheese boards, and goat dishes. However, significant criticism focuses on poor value for money, with some guests finding prices excessive and noting aggressive upselling. A minority of negative reviews mention unprofessional service, overly oily food, or hygiene issues. While the restaurant excels in creating a welcoming environment and delivering authentic flavors, visitors should be cautious regarding pricing and additional charges.
Suitable for diners seeking traditional flavors and a cozy atmosphere, but verify prices beforehand to avoid unexpected costs.
