Casa Santo Stefano

food★ 4.6 (3,259)$$ · Moderate

Owner Richard Gonzmart imports everything from family businesses in Sicily—wines, cheese, olive oil, even hand-painted tiles from Caltagirone. The menu runs deep on pasta, seafood, and Sicilian wines (hundreds of them). It's a celebration restaurant, formal enough that people wear suits, but honest enough to serve food that tastes like memory rather than ambition.

Best time to go

Sunday dinner, when the whole point of the place—those nana-cooked Sunday suppers—makes the most sense. Santo's Drinkeria (the bar side) opens at 4 p.m. on Sundays if you want to start earlier.

Local tip

The vintage pictures scattered around the restaurant are actual family photos from Tampa's founding Sicilian families, shared by their descendants. Ask your server which ones are which—you're eating inside someone else's genealogy.
