Benvenuti! Casa Santo Stefano is a Sicilian restaurant from the Gonzmart family, owners of the 1905 Family Of Restaurants. The lunch and dinner menus feature maccheroni (pasta), steaks, seafood, scacciata, salads, soups, desserts and hundreds of Sicilian wines. Curbside takeout is available by calling the main phone number. The rooftop Santo's Drinkeria also is open.

Housed in a beautifully re-imagined former 1925 Ybor City macaroni factory, the restaurant is a look back to Sunday suppers, simpler times and shared stories.

Dress code: Casa Santo Stefano often is visited for celebrations and special occasion meals, so it is common for our guests to sport formal wear in the dining room. We welcome everyone, but politely ask that men wear sleeves at Casa Santo Stefano.

    We were not pleased with the new menu options and uninformed service. Also, a dish had to be sent back to the kitchen.

    Usually outstanding, this experience was lacking the usual good service and great food. Disappointed in the experience for the cost.

    Over all we had a great time. We ordered the Arancini and the centers were cold. We ordered the chicken Parm and the chicken was almost burnt and the pasta was luke warm. Everything else was delicious. Just seems like the kitchen wasn't really doing quality checks before it went to the table.

    You're absolutely right. None of what you described should have reached the table. Appreciate you taking time to give a positive rating. Thanks.

    Casa Santo Stefano was excellent. Me and my boyfriend were visiting from Orlando and this place looked good and it was! The whole restaurant is beautifully decorated and when you walk in you can see the kitchen and the wood fired stove. I had the casarecce with sausage crumbles and peas in a light cream sauce and it was divine. The calamari fritti and margarita pizza were also very tasty and the portions were very generous. Would definitely return!

    So many delicious choices, Courtney! Thanks for making the trip. Hope your drive back to Orlando was safe.

    Casa Santo Stefano has a normal Italian menu. The food was excellent as was the service. The restaurant is very nice inside with a typical Italian vibe. They also have an excellent Sicilian wine list. The complimentary parking is an excellent advantage. The roof top lounge is only open on weekends but looked very inviting.

    Thanks for noticing all of the special details, Jeff. Be sure to visit the Drinkeria on the weekends. No better place in Ybor City to enjoy a sunset.

    We went on a Sunday night so noise level was good. Not sure what other nights were like. The calamari was excellent. We had the hot honey Pizza which was very good. We also enjoyed the burrata. We felt the veal had too much tomato and green peppers on it; however it was very good. The Bolognese pasta was also to our liking. Our server was very pleasant and attending. The decor was I pleasing. We had a nice night overall.

    Thrilled you had such a positive visit, Sea. Thank you for your feedback on the veal. Hope to see you again soon at Casa Santo Stefano.

    This was our second visit to Casa Santo Stefano and it was as memorable as the first. Our waitress, Brittani was spectacular. She was friendly, informative and attentive and went out of her way to make sure our dining experience was special. Their menu is excellent. We both enjoyed our meals. Will definitely go back when we return to Tampa!

    Being consistently excellent is what we aim to be, Christine. SO happy to hear we hit the mark again during your second visit. We look forward to your third!
