La Casa Nostra, Marine Walk

La Casa Nostra is a family-run Italian trattoria that has been trading since 1996, “Casa Nostra” meaning “Our home,” which makes it one of the older restaurant names tied to Umdloti’s food scene rather than a recent opening. It seats around 100 guests, a larger footprint than most of the smaller cafes in this guide, split between an al fresco courtyard and an intimate red-brick dining room.

The centre’s own store directory, checked in September 2026, lists La Casa Nostra as a current tenant of Marine Walk Shopping Centre at Shop 06, phone 031 568 1996. It became one of the originating tenants when Marine Walk opened on 30 September 2022, a fixture of Umdloti for close to three decades by the time it moved into the newer centre. The kitchen is renowned locally for pizza, pasta, risotto and Italian grills, with seafood options including grilled prawns, calamari and mussels.

Marine Walk runs as a single complex from 08:00 to 22:00, seven days a week, though individual tenants can and do set their own shorter hours within that window. No dedicated opening hours for La Casa Nostra itself were sourced for this page, so treat “mid” as a general price band rather than a fixed figure.

Marine Walk is also home to several other venues in this guide, including Tightline and Tyler’s, so La Casa Nostra sits inside a food precinct rather than as a standalone building.
