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.

    Members of my party were running late. I was able to be seated early, our server Vincent was amazingly polite, tended to my food allergies and made sure we were still fine and out on time for our event following dinner.

    We will do all we can to accommodate, no matter what the conditions might be. Thank you for your kind words, Anne.

    Nice place, great food, but they always seem to be behind in reservations and service was slow. We made reservations but still had to wait 20 minutes to be sat. It is a very pretty restaurant though.

    Sorry we were busy, Jacalyn. Sundays are busy nights for us, but we should have done a better job managing your visit.

    The server said they didn’t have Irish coffee. We encouraged her to ask the bar tender and he was able to make. The salad didn’t come until after the entrees were served. Don’t know if this was a kitchen issue or server issue.
    Casa Santo StefanoResponded today
    We should have managed your service in a more orderly fashion. Irish coffee isn't in the wheelhouse of our Sicilian restaurant -- we don't carry Irish whiskey -- but we should have done more to accommodate.

    Disappointed they no longer serve the Polpo alla Griglia - Grilled Mediterranean Octopus. Was our favorite - went to Casa Santo Steffano just for the Polpo. No reason to return. Will be looking for another resturaunt that serves Grilled Octopus. Sorry. Shame on Rich Gonzmart for this change!
    Casa Santo StefanoResponded today
    Thanks for your comments. Sadly, although it was a delicious appetizer, the dish sold poorly. Hope you return to find another appetizer. We'd hate to lose your business, Jim, over one item.
