At La Dolce Casa, we believe every gathering is an opportunity to create cherished memories. Throughout the year, we host a variety of events—weddings, private parties, and full-service Catering is designed to bring people together. The holidays are especially magical with our sparkling Christmas light displays, and our live concerts feature incredible artists from around the globe who fill our space with music and joy. To make your experience even more special, we’ve partnered with The Village at Houser’s Crossing (hyperlink to www.HousersCrossing.com). A true one-of-a-kind getaway with mountain and river views - plus train service to Pennsylvania’s most charming small town, Historic Jim Thorpe. Like us, they believe that “Family is Everything.” Their beautiful accommodations—just minutes from our restaurant—offer the perfect place to relax, unwind, and feel at home while enjoying all the area has to offer.
