“My husband and I recently visited Quality Foods Market for the first time for our wedding anniversary. It was the most amazing experience. Chef Chris and his staff went above and beyond anything we had experienced before. Chef Chris recommended a wonderful wine and the food was delicious (especially the freshly made pasta). We can’t wait to go back!“

“You go for you food, and Realize it’s awesome. And then you realize the staff is working nonstop to make sure you and the rest of their customers are feeling cared for and served correctly. And then over time with repeated visits you realize the staff and ownership are awesome.“

“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.“

“just a little upset they didn't have shrimp parm. and they said they couldn't make it because they were to busy“

“Amazing food … best Italian I have had in years.“

“It’s a small hidden place in an unexpected area, however… the food and the service was excellent! I ordered the chicken piccata and next time I intend to order the chicken Marcella! What a great find!!“

“The best Italian there is ,“

“Love the wine dinners each month!!!!!“

“We have been dinning at Bella's for over 20 years and have enjoyed each visit. We love the atmosphere! The place is usually busy with couples of all ages, groups of friends, 3-4 generations of families dinning together. It's wonderful! The food is always good to very good to great! The service is always good, but the service last night from Justin, our waiter, was exceptional. We'll request Justin the next time we visit Bella's.“

“Awesome vegan options! Everything had so much flavor.“

“Was not used to or prepared for the crust. I was educated on what Chicago Pizza truly is by a native LOL it is a very thin crispy crust, but it is not like a New York City where you can pick up a piece of pizza and fold it in your hands. It is very crispy it was still pretty good“

“Right here on the Island! Heaven! All of the best of the old Natalina days with lots of new twists. I truly can't recommend this highly enough!“

“Our initial visit experience this evening was 5 star and we were made to feel like family. Paulo welcomed us and then his daughter Ilaria took over and walked us through a flawless journey from wine to our incredible meal. Homemade pasta, Paulo’s personally made bread, and much more. We look forward to returning and will refer our friends to this awesome restaurant. Marlene, David, and our little pet Morkie Gracie. Grazie Paulo.“

“Awesome service, great food! Sure we’ll be back“

“Excellent attention by waiter Rod who answered all our questions. Marco greeted us with his charm and personal attention. Excellent terrine, always perfect flavor and texture. Grouper luvornese style was perfectly cooked with reddish orangish sauce dotted with capers and black olives. The cannelloni burst with veal and mozzarella with just enough white and red sauce. Excellent care. Excellent perfect food and service“

“Absolutely the best Italian Restaurant I’ve experienced in Tampa. Grew up in the business and am tough to please. My requirements: great service, great ambience, and great food. But it all goes back to the service - I will give a restaurant a second chance if the food was “ok” ONLY if the service excelled. This place hits all the marks. The owner, Adolfo, treats everyone like family and leads his team by example. His staff is outstanding and his lovely bride, Camila, helps brighten the place up with her charming smile. Definitely 5 stars for this stylish, fine, exquisite, yet not pretentious “Osteria”. Worth the 1/2 hour drive for us!“

“Ate here for the first time for my birthday. Food was amazing!“

“It’s a neighborhood favorite for a reason! Always great food, friendly service, and just around the corner. Do try to set space aside for their awesome bakery!!!“

“Best chicken parm I know of“

“I can't say enough great things about Z, the concierge on the 7th floor co-working space. I work out of this floor almost every day, and without fail, Z always brightens up my day. She's not only super helpful and efficient with anything I need, she's also just cool and a genuinely good vibe. She even throws in some good life advice for me every so often. Asher is truly lucky to have someone like Z on the team.“

“great place good atmosphere“

“Good food and service. Eggplant is outstanding!“

“Quick and easy child friendly restaurant. Good service too!“

“We had lunch, Parmesan chicken and salad. We have found that if we request the Parmesan chicken to be "not too crispy", it comes out quite good. The salad allows refills if desired. For $12, it was a good deal. The service was excellent. I also ordered an iced tea and the waitress gave me one to go!“

“While visiting for the weekend, we had our first dinner at La Casa delle Pasta and we will be visiting again. The calamari, Fettuccine in Parmigiano Wheel, and Tiramisu were all amazing. We had a larger party and all the plates looked delicious (entire party loved their meals). Top off the food with the amazing staff and servers that took care of our party ( Fiona and Ren), we had a wonderful experience!“

“This is an Italian Restaurant that reminds me so much of my time in Italy. It has a very authentic atmosphere as well the best Italian cuisine.“

“This is by far the best Italian restaurant in or around Oldsmar! I could eat here every night! We tried it for the first time last weekend, and I’ve been back for takeout twice!“

“I definitely recommend this place. Very good service food atmosphere. Everything was amazing. We definitely will be back.“

“Stellar food and cozy ambience delivered with passion and authenticity. If you're a lover of bona fide Italian food and appreciate gourmet cuisine you owe it to yourself to experience the magic Antonio and his team yield. In an age of boring, multi-million dollar restaurant build outs that look like banks rather than restaurants it's refreshing to enter an independently owned mom and pop restaurant inside a candle-lit house that reminds you of lovely dining spots in Europe, Charleson, Savannah and New Orleans. Many of the dishes are literally prepared tableside, and Chef Antonio eloquently describes the ingredients, the process and the origin of each dish. The experience is anything but standard or mundane. Pasta made in house. Cheese made in house. Air Dried meats in house. Stellar wine list. Need I say more? ;)“

“Margherita pie and cannoli. Not too shabby.“

“We had brunch and it was amazing. Great atmosphere and friendly service. The food was delicious.“

“We ordered chicken wings with honey and chili sauce, delicious. Also, ordered the charcuterie waygu beef delicious as well bread basket, and a surprise meal ordered for one of our party he couldn’t decide so the server surprised it was pasta, chicken ??? But was delicious too.“

“Good and service were very good for a table of 7. Had a great time!“

“First time dining here and it was an amazing dinner! The food is delicious and the service was top notch. Susan and all the staff really made us feel welcome. Great atmosphere for date night and gathering with friends and family. Recommend the Caprese App, Chicken Piccata, and Bacon, Pear, Blue Cheese Flatbread and the Red Sangria.“

“I Want to say thank you to the owner, Manager , and the restaurant staff for being open after Hurricane Milton. This place was very good, the food was very hot and fresh, and the customer service was excellent I will definitely come back to this restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: have children slices good for toddlers.“

“I was thinking about having some Italian food. Maybe some spaghetti or Eggplant Parmigiana. So my daughter and I headed for Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Citrus Park. We were seated immediately by friendly and welcoming staff who made us feel at home. The never ending salad and breadsticks are always a treat. I love their Eggplant Parmigiana so that is what I chose. My daughter chose Spaghetti with Mushroom Sauce topped with Broccoli. I definitely want that when I go back again. The food was served quickly and arrived hot and delicious. I recommend the Olive Garden Italian Restaurant to anyone who enjoys authentic Italian cuisine served with elegance in a pleasant atmosphere.“

“Enjoyed every minute of time spent there. Can’t wait to return!“

“I almost didn’t get this and got Burger King instead. I’m so glad I didn’t, this was the best meal I’ve had in days since the hurricane and in general some of the best tasting Alfredo I’ve ever had. Thank you for being there today yall!“

“Great abundant food and variety, also equally great service“

“Intimate, cozy local Italian restaurant run by authentic Italian American couple x 42 years! A hidden gem!! Serious quality of traditional dishes as well as Chef's Specials! Everything served is made there, even the desserts. Tiramisu & Limoncello cake were fresh, superb! Mmmm, Capri..“
