“Review: Casa Cosenza - Oldsmar, FL Casa Cosenza – Oldsmar has become my go-to Italian restaurant, and each visit is nothing short of a culinary journey through the diverse flavors of Italy. From the moment you step through the door, the warm ambiance and friendly staff make you feel like you've been transported to the heart of Italy. The owner is what I call fresh off the boat, and many of his staff reflect the flavor and ambiance you would expect in Italy The menu offers a delightful array of authentic Italian dishes that cater to all tastes, and all the pasta is made in house! Michael Glinter has traveled to 68 countries and 36 states to get the flavor of some amazing foods. His view on reviews is simple – Taste, Presentation, and Service. He believes it's important to tell the reader both a positive and negative unbiased look at the restaurant. Let's take a look and see how Casa Consenza scored in these 3 categories. Taste and Presentation We started with a special appetizer for the night which was a Homemade Tortellini stuff with Italian cheese and white truffle in a white cream sauce. Then for entrees we had Filetto al Barolo a 8oz Filet Mignon in red wine sauce, served with mushrooms, vegetables, and house potatoes, and the night special which was a Branzino filet with mussels and clams topped with a red sauce. The filet was cooked to absolute perfection, the Barolo wine reduction is a symphony of flavors and truly complemented the meat, The presentation was equally impressive, with an artful arrangement that highlighted the dish's elegance and with a side of perfectly cooked mushrooms, zucchini, and potatoes. and a choice of potato accompaniment The Branzino was a true celebration of the sea, a dish that impeccably combines freshness, flavor, and culinary artistry. It was grilled to perfection, showcasing the pristine quality of the fish. Each forkful revealed a subtle sweetness that spoke of the sea, and the expert seasoning allowed the natural flavors to shine. The inclusion of mussels and clams added a dynamic layer to the dish. The shellfish were impeccably cooked, tender and brimming with the essence of the ocean. The savory broth, infused with garlic, white wine, and herbs, was a symphony of complementary flavors that elevated the entire dish to a new level of indulgence. The presentation was a work of art, with the vibrant colors of the seafood and the aromatic broth creating an enticing visual appeal. The dish was accompanied by a medley of seasonal vegetables, adding a refreshing balance to the richness of the seafood. Service What can I say. Max. Dear Max. He was amazing. He exhibited a genuine passion for the cuisine, providing insightful descriptions of each dish and its preparation. His enthusiasm not only enhanced our dining experience but also reflected a true dedication to the art of hospitality. He was constantly attentive to our table, always asking us how things were doing, tasting, and making sure we were well taken care of. I observed him around the restaurant and his passion for people and really creating an amazing guest experience was top notch. The Italian décor, soft lighting, and the piano truly created an intimate atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for a romantic dinner or a celebration with friends and family. In conclusion, Casa Cosenza is a gem among Italian restaurants. The dedication to authenticity, the quality of ingredients, and the overall dining experience make it a must-visit for anyone craving a taste of Italy in the heart of Tampa Bay. Every visit has always been a celebration of the rich culinary heritage that Italy has to offer. Buon Appetito! If you do go to visit and Max is working, tell him “Uncle Mike” sent you there and he will make sure you have an unbelievable experience.“

“From the moment we walked into Mandolzas Italian Kitchen, we were greeted with a warm smile and genuine hospitality. The restaurant was spotless, with an inviting atmosphere that made us feel instantly comfortable. The staff was incredibly friendly, and ordering was an absolute breeze with their full menu of mouthwatering options. Portions were perfect. Satisfying without being over the top and the service was impressively efficient. Plates were served and cleared so quickly without ever feeling rushed. I loved the thoughtful touches, like the to-go station for leftovers and to-go cups for drinks. A huge thank you to Jessica, the manager, for the wonderful conversation and the sweet surprise of dessert. The food was absolutely delicious, and then there’s dessert… oh my goodness! From the beautiful selection of gelato to the tempting baked goods, it was impossible to resist. We left with full bellies, happy hearts, and the excitement of knowing we’ll definitely be back soon. Thank you, Mandolzas, for an incredible dining experience!“

“Good food, good service, good prices, nice atmosphere. It's all good!“

“The atmosphere is great, very charming, relaxed yet upscale vibe.
The service was phenomenal! Gina, one of the bartenders is the best!! On top of great service, she's such a delight! The waitresses were all super sweet and extremely tentative.

I had the chicken parm, and it was probably the best I've had from a restaurant! The chicken was seasoned and breaded perfectly, juicy and delicious. Pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce you can tell is made with love!

The manager, Carole Ann was amazing too!! She made sure to visit my table and made sure everything was up to our standards. I will definitely be back regularly!“

“I was so very happy after Madison came to Dunedin. I have been eating at Madison for years now and everything I have eaten there has been outstanding. on 11/29/25 we ordered two pizzas for delivery and the total with tip was 70 plus dollars and that's ok for a great product but, it wasn't, the pizza was dry from little sauce and the lite amount cheese on the pizza, but that can happen by mistake. It's now the next day Sunday11/30/25 and getting ready for Bucs football and time to order food so I'm thinking i will order Madison pizza again to fill the craving for a great Madison pizza that didn't get filled by the pizza I had the night before and to confirm that it was just one time thing. I ordered my pizza and picked it up and came home and started eating it right away so it would be hot and fresh and to my disappoint the pizza is the same as last night, dry and little cheese. I'm going to try it again next week and give it another chance and then come back and edit this review and hopefully have a more positive review. I will still continue to eat the many other Great items on the menu and would encourage anyone reading this review to go and try this place out because over all its a great place to eat with a great atmosphere and very clean.“

“I will say this was our first visit of many if I may say. Our food was so good. We had Veal and clams along with the garlic knots. The stuffed mushrooms were delicious. I wish I could show you pictures. You will live it.“

Highly recommend this gem!“

“Hey everybody just wanted to let you know that I broke down this morning alongside Jet's Pizza at 1334 main Street Dunedin Florida and I would like to let you know THEY ARE AWESOME KIND PEOPLE, WITH SUPER PIZZA!! They were so kind they made sure I had water , they would not take any money from me , then later on the day they brought me out in individual piece of pizza because they knew I've been out here a long time and then just a few moments ago they make sure I had more water. All the while I was parked alongside their business blocking about four parking spaces. So if you are in their their area and want a good piece of pizza, from kind people come by and see them. JETS PIZZA IN DUNEDIN, FL 1334 Main St THANK YOU GUYS, YOUR THE BEST!!“

“The #1 pizza in Dunedin for sure. Everything is delicious and made fresh daily. The place is awesome. Mom and daughter are both really nice and very helpful to our community. I highly recommend this place as your #1 go to pizza place. Everything they have on the menu is delicious, but the Super Baby the best.“

“Last three times, horrible service.. orders were messed up.. never again“

“I usually order to go. Their wings are some of the best I've ever had. They're coal-fire cooked like their pizza so if you're looking for fried wings, this isn't your place. As for the pizza, it's great, but some pizzas are square cut so make sure you read the descriptions. This is a great place to get pizza and wings. I wasn't too crazy about their Alfredo when I had that, but I'll forgive that because everything else I've ever had has been awesome.“

“Matt is the best! Great service, nice people, perfect for downtown palm harbor.“

“They are open until 2 AM which is great! The crust is not pre-made or prefrontal, he spins it right in front of you. We had the Orr, pepperoni with pesto and honey Sriracha drizzle. The pesto was not overwhelming and the drizzle was the perfect amount of spicy and sweet. The Italian working there never stopped and worked quickly to fill orders. I noticed they had a Cauliflower crust option! Prices are great! Make sure you give them a try!“
