Diners appreciate the old-school, unpretentious ambiance and faultless service, noting it as great value for money. While the food consistently receives praise, some reviews mention potential issues with cleanliness in the bathrooms and the presence of flies.
"Food is incredibly delicious and portions are huge. No wander why Argentina is the best place to eat Italian food other than Italy. It's old school. Not fancy or pretentious. Service was faultless. Great value for money specially with foreign currencies. Highly recommended"
Natalia Severini
"Casa Vieja is one of the permanent stars in the Mar del Plata's culinary sky. They offer a good food at reasonable prices. Prices are not at budget levels but one gets a good value for his money. Fish and seafood dishes are very good and I found their pasta dishes excellent. Portions are generous, service is courteous.
Because of its relative distance from the fashionable tourist spots, there is a good chance to secure a table at Casa Vieja on a short notice."

"Good looking place and good ñoquis but its kinda dirty and no water came out of any of the bathrooms. There were flys around the restaurant nut overall good place. 8/10"
