About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood 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.

    Food is spectacular. Service is inconsistent. We've been a few times and most recently, service was not great. Waters empty, had to ask for refills multiple times, didn't get asked if we wanted parm with pasta, wine went without an ask if we wanted another glass until too late into our meal, etc. Also, the floors are incredibly slippery and dangerous. Even trying my best to step carefully, I still slipped and fell.

    Once again, Casa Santo Stefano has distinguished itself as a rare exemplar of culinary and hospitality excellence. From the moment of entry, the ambiance is nothing short of transcendent—an exquisite balance of warmth, elegance, and authenticity that evokes both nostalgia and sophistication. The carefully curated interiors, ambient lighting, and impeccable attention to detail cultivate a setting that is as emotionally resonant as it is aesthetically refined. The cuisine is a masterclass in tradition elevated by contemporary artistry. Every dish is executed with precision, using ingredients of exceptional quality, resulting in a harmonious interplay of bold, authentic flavors and nuanced textures. It is evident that the culinary team operates with a profound respect for heritage, combined with the creative audacity necessary to achieve true excellence. Integral to the evening’s success was the impeccable service provided by our waiter, Rich. His consummate professionalism, intuitive attentiveness, and encyclopedic knowledge of the menu elevated the experience immeasurably. Rich anticipated needs with unobtrusive grace, offered insightful recommendations, and engaged with a warmth and authenticity that epitomize the highest ideals of hospitality. Casa Santo Stefano transcends the conventional dining experience; it is a celebration of culture, craft, and genuine human connection. In an era often marked by superficiality, this establishment stands as a beacon of authenticity and refinement. I offer my highest and most enthusiastic recommendation. Casa Santo Stefano is not merely a restaurant—it is an extraordinary experience worthy of both reverence and frequent return.

    The food was amazing! We got the toasted gnocchi for appetizers and that marinara sauce that came with it was delicious! I got the filet and was cooked to perfection and my wife got the sea bass which was also delicious! Our server, Maddie was very accommodating as well as friendly and we never felt rushed. Would definitely recommend!

    Eggplant appetizer was good but small. Not really enough to share. Lemon cake for dessert was absolutely delicious and plenty enough to share. The side salad was average. The sausage and peas pasta dish was very good.
