Benvenuti! Casa Santo Stefano is a Sicilian restaurant from the Gonzmart family, owners of the 1905 Family Of Restaurants.

We bought La Casa della Pasta in 2017 and moved from our home in the Langhe in Piedmont, located in the northwest of Italy to the sunshine state. We have always been passionate about food and wine and would like to share the authentic Italian cuisine we know and love with you! While our time at La Casa della Pasta is just beginning, we have spent many years in the restaurant industry and are eager to share our delicious food with you! We hope to see you soon, Mara and Franco.

    Last night was my 6th month anniversary of eating at Sacred Pepper and after 33 dinners there it's still my favorite restaurant. The ambiance/decor. wine/drinks, excellent menu selections, and the exceptional service staff make it not just a dinner but a very special "dining experience" on every visit. Besides their delicious daily specials their "Sacred Sunday" sharing menu and their 3- course "Ciao Monday" menu are both exceptional values for the quality and quantity of food served. Last night I started with the Crab & Corn chowder and for dinner it was the Tenderloin Steak Bites that comes with a crispy polenta. And as an entree you get to choose 2 sides from wonderful selections. Everything was perfect and my regular server "Adam" was awesome as always!

    Excellent menu, wine selection and the food and ambiance were outstanding. Saltimbocca and sea bass were fabulous. Clearly one of Tampa’s finest restaurants.

    Quality Foods is an experience and an education. If you saw it from the outside you would think it’s a pizzeria that you can just drop in for a quick bite. If you just walked in off the street you might be confused because half of the place is storage for wine and food. There are only about four tables available inside. But the reason we would go back is the experience. We were almost full before dinner. We had fantastic bread & olive oil/balsamic, caprese salad and tomato bisque. So by the time our pasta came, we could barely eat half of it. But it was amazing. I ate the tastiest scallop I’ve ever had in my life. My husband had the ragu pasta and was also in love. Again, it’s an experience that Chef Chris personally guides each guest through by talking to everyone multiple times. He’s a very proud chef and owner and we see why now.
