CASA SANTO STEFANO 1ST FLOOR – Italian
Housed in a 1925 Ybor City macaroni factory, Casa Santo Stefano cooks Tampa Sicilian: the Sunday-supper food of the neighbourhood's founding immigrant families, served with real polish. Open with Meatballs della Nana, arancini al burro stuffed with mozzarella and prosciutto cotto, or burrata breaded in muddica crumbs and fried into spicy tomato sauce. Then imported casarecce maccheroni, twelve-inch brick-oven Sicilian pizza, caponata, mussels simmered with grape tomato. Santo's Drinkeria pours Sicilian street food, cocktails and hundreds of Sicilian wines. Oil, salt, cheese and the hand-painted Caltagirone tile all come from Sicilian family producers. Guests dress up. Reservations are strongly advised.
