Very good authentic home made Italian food. Fresh bread brought to our table with olive oil and herbs. My wife had the meet ravioli and said it was just like her grandmother used to make by hand. I had the mushroom risotto and it was amazing. Cold Peroni and sangria to drink.

Inconsistent food, one day great, next day very sad! Service is good, but you never know what you're gonna get food wise!
This is my new favorite restaurant! The food here tastes like the best of Rome. Don't waste your money at expensive high profile Italian restaurants in our area this little gem is the best! The staff is so knowledgeable and attentive and the little extras they grace your table with make the experience that much more pleasurable!
This is the most amazing small Italian restaurant in tampa! Everything we ordered was perfection.. appetizers, entrees, and the oreo tiramisu.. amazing!!! The staff is so kind, the owners hands-on and caring. Such an experience! Super highlights the risotto and the most fall apart lamb shank, the biggest eggplant parm, the cheesiest gnocchi... everything! Lollol the app won't allow me to add pictures.

the fettucine alfredo prepared table side is always a hit! We brought a couple who had never been here before and they loved it. They will be back and of course - so will we. Such a hidden gem!! It's about a 30-minute drive and so worth it!

La Casa Della Pasta fell significantly short of expectations, particularly disappointing given it was Valentine's Day. The main courses were served cold, with a lackluster presentation that left much to be desired. The dining experience was further marred by erratic service, characterized by a revolving door of servers, which disrupted the meal's flow. Desserts, while aiming to impress, tipped the scale towards overly sweet, failing to provide a balanced end to the meal. Additionally, the rushed atmosphere detracted from the romantic setting one would expect on such a special occasion. Overall, La Casa Della Pasta did not live up to the hopes of a memorable Valentine's Day dinner. Food unfortunately fell short of expectations didn't even take pictures at the table, this was the left overs after one day in the fridge as well it was unappealing to the eye and inedible

The food was amazing, the servers were all cute little waitresses, and the look of the place fit the authenticity of the food, extremely good tasting food, the price is a little high for the average little Italian restaurant but when you bite into the food you know why, high quality ingredients from Italy! Over all really happy to have made it out to dinner here shout out to Franco who personally comes to your table to check on you! Loved it

First visit to Tampa and had to try this Best of the Best to see if the Italian food stacked up. Boy did it ever. Such a hole in the wall vibe making it feel even more authentic to Italy. Calamari - lessons should be given to everyone else on making it this way. Every dish our family of four raved about and we all sampled each others and agreed with the amazingness. Pricey but worth it from calamari to pasta dishes to chocolate cake and cappuccinos.
This restaurant is absolutely delicious!!! We came to celebrate a friend's birthday and all of the dishes we ordered were incredible. The place is very cozy with an elegant touch, it makes you feel at home. The service was excellent, we were 13 and the food arrived at the same time for everyone and was hot. They were always attentive and checking on us to make sure we have everything we needed. I must say, our reservation was at 8:30 pm and when we arrived they kindly told us that we had to order quickly because the kitchen closed at 9, it seemed a little illogical to let so many people make a reservation at 8:30 to close the kitchen 30 minutes later, however they never rushed us, the service was incredible and as I said before the food came out super fast, hot and delicious. We finished with tiramisu and wow it was delicious, it felt homemade. Without a doubt I would return to this restaurant. PS: It is essential to make a reservation in advance because this restaurant is almost always full.

It's never a good sign when the first thing they bring to your table is bread, and the bread is stale. The dipping olive oil however was delicious. My Caesar, which the website claims includes anchovies...had no anchovies. And speaking of the website, it's hopelessly out of date. Prices on the hardcopy menu they pass out are about 10% higher than the website pricing. This needs to be fixed. Had I been paying I would have protested. I ordered the tortellini which supposedly is filled with beef...but the alleged beef was tasteless, if there at all. The tortellini, in a rich sauce of four cheeses, is good...but after the third bite or so it becomes monotonous. Less tortellini with a side of a tart foil of greens would be a big improvement. For $26 I'm sure this is doable. Service was good. The decor? Eh... In sum this is a second-rate Italian restaurant that gets rave reviews because it's in Tampa. Enough said.

Came to celebrate a friend's birthday and also ended up celebrating the food, even tho I couldn't order the whole menu (I wanted to) I got to try a few different dishes that my friends ordered, while the pastas and lasagna had a very authentic italian flavor, I wouldn't say it is the same case for the appetizers, felt a little bit basic and sort of on the frozen food side. Their attention was immaculate, I can't recall a moment of our night were someone wasn't at our table making sure everything was looking good and tasting amazing, great when you have a big table. Also even tho they close at 9:30PM, our reservation was for 8:30PM and I'm pretty sure we stayed past 10PM and never felt rushed to leave, even on our way out they were really kind saying goodbye and thank you. I will definitely come back, great place!

Absolutely Amazing Service! Family Owned Restaurant that has the most fresh-tasting food I’ve had in a while. The lasagna and fettuccine was so good and I will definitely be back to try the veal! Mara and Franco, the owners, have created a family feel restaurant with authentic italian cuisine that rivals the best italian spots in tampa such as Nabruzzi’s and Casa Cosenza and to be honest…this might be the best spot of them all.
