About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    Our waiter was friendly but super quiet. He didn’t really make an effort to talk to us or greet us and introduce himself when we first sat down. Other than that, this restaurant is very nice and the food is good.

    The Casa is always superb. Their homemade dishes, fresh breads, and incredible Caesar salad are the best in town. On top of that, they have impeccable servers. One always feels welcome there!

    Our dining experience was outstanding. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Our server Vincent was also outstanding. He was there when we needed him, but did not hover. The food and atmosphere were excellent. We certainly will return. Would highly recommend.

    The food was not prepared well. Pasta was undercooked and not good. No I don’t mean Al dente, I eat my noodles that way. Just didn’t taste the same as it has in the past

    I always order the same dish- because it never dissapoints. Slight mishap, as they forgot to add the chicken to my entree- but quickly made it right. Service and experience was amazing , as expected. Will definitely be back again!

    Overall, a pleasant experience. The drinks menu was above average, offering a variety of well-crafted beverages and mocktails. that complemented the meal nicely. The ambiance was inviting with a moderate crowd and noise level.. The service was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcomed throughout the evening. However, the main entrée was a bit of a letdown in terms of seasoning — it was excessively salty, which overshadowed the meal. On a positive side, the dessert was truly tasty and provided a sweet ending to the meal.

    What a fantastic place to have a great Italian meal! Delicious food. Must haves are the meatballs and calamari appetizers. I had the seabass for dinner and it was probably in my top 5. Server was super nice, but took a reminder or two on getting the bread to the table.

    Appreciate you taking time to give a positive rating, Jerry. So close to greatness! Sorry about the bread. We look forward to your next visit to Casa Santo Stefano.

    Service slow and food was mediocre. I visited three times before but this time I could tell it’s declining.

    During a holiday such as Mothers Day, and despite checking slightly earlier than our appointed time, there was very long waiting without any seating available for older patrons or disabled ones.
