Casa Santo Stefano

Housed in a former 1925 Ybor City macaroni factory, Casa Santo Stefano pays tribute to the Sicilian food owner Richard Gonzmart ate with his best friend each Sunday.

Those Nana-cooked meals provide the inspiration for the pastas, sauces and seafood we feature here, not just Sicilian, but Tampa Sicilian.

The Casa interior design offers a showplace of art and craftsmanship. Casa also pays tribute to the wave of Sicilian immigrants who – along with the Cubans and Spanish – helped build Tampa and Ybor City after coming to America.

Begun in friendship, nurtured by family and continued in community, our vision of offers a look back to Sunday suppers, simpler times and shared stories.
