I enjoyed your Veal Saltimbocca, marveled at your Osso Buca. Enjoyed your clams oreganata and your servers experiences in Italia and America. I am very picky about the places I go to dine I like being the greeter not the greeted as my family owned a restaurant for 26 years and my family has been in the restaurant business since 1948 I think I am connoisseur of what it means to have Italian cooking Italian hospitality an Italian ambiance, Grazia tanti, Grazia tutto. Also for taking care of my two grand nieces with their chicken with french fries which you did perfectly and singing which is an old art,but done perfectly by an Italian waiter aiming to please, 7 people who had never been there before! grazia Buena Vista! We will see each other again if not in person I will order online and pick it up the old fashioned way by car and in person Thank you again sincerely Pietro

Very good Italian restaurant that is unfortunately in a dying plaza. Because of this, I feel like…read moreit was less busy than what it should be, especially on a Saturday night . It makes the ambiance hard to enjoy when you're the only ones in a restaurant, but I will say there were a lot of takeout orders being picked up. The food was delicious though, very affordable, and everything freshly prepared by what looks to be one chef; which he definitely knows what he is doing. I ordered a breaded filet mignon and while it didn't taste like filet, it was very good and flavored nicely. Tiramisu was delicious but I think every restaurant should skip the cheap Hershey's chocolate sauce drizzle and do nothing instead of that option. Best thing in my opinion was the fresh Italian bread and the kids Mac and cheese! Overall, I would come back but more for like a casual dinner instead of a celebratory occasion. I'd say a high 3.75 stars, rounded to 4.

Had a lovely anniversary dinner here…read more We shared the crab meat pizza as an appetizer. It was good, but I think like a drizzle of some chili oil would have made it incredible. The pollo marsala and pasta alla norma were very good as well. Portion sizes were larger than expected, so I brought about half of my pasta home. We also split a pitcher of the Sicilian Sunrise, which was good and not overly sweet. Parking was easy to find in the (free) lot across the street. Our server was attentive but not intrusive, and the food came out at a great pace for us to enjoy time away from the kids.

My review isn't based on the food at Casa Santo Stefano since I didn't get to celebrate Father's…read moreDay with my family at Casa Santo Stefano. This is based on Poor Customer Service. I made a reservation on Open Table for 2 p.m. My husband and I live in the South Shore area and one of our sons lives in St. Petersburg. For each of us, it's a 45 minute to an hour drive to get to Casa Santo Stefano. My husband (the Dad whom we were celebrating) and I arrived @ 1:45. We get to the door with about 10 other patrons and the door is LOCKED. After a couple of minutes, the door opens and we're told the restaurant is closed due to an "emergency" but that the restaurant may open later that night and anyone with a reservation was notified. I checked my phone and received an email from Open Table stating " the restaurant canceled your reservation" at 1:10 p.m. Everyone was already on the road and we don't check emails while driving. Why not post a sign on the door instead of having patrons stand outside in 100° heat wondering what happened? We didn't see emergency personal, a fire truck or ambulance, so thankfully it wasn't anything catastrophic. Knowing the Columbia and Casa Santo Stefano are owned by the same family, we walked to the Columbia, they graciously honored our reservation. We had a great meal even though it wasn't the Italian Sunday pasta we were anticipating. Someone told me Casa posted that they were open at 4 p.m. on Monday. Good thing we didn't wait around on Sunday. Casa Santo Stefano, how about doing right by your disappointed patrons? How about comping a meal for Dad or least a complimentary glass of wine, coffee and dessert so I can change this 1 star review to a 5 star!

They were out of both long pasta so I settled for one of the two short pasta options with the…read morebolognese sauce. Waited over 40 minutes for my pasta. When I went to go check what happened - they gave my order to someone else without checking their number since I still had my buzzer number. Once they remade my order, it was the wrong pasta type and cheese. I was starving at this point - so I just took it. Once about halfway through the sauce ended and the rest of the pasta was watery. The only reason why I got midway through it, was because I spent $21 on one plate and I was starving. Staff did give 3 free meatballs and a tiramisu to make up for the inconvenience and that did help. I don't like tiramisu so my boyfriend ate it and he said it didn't have a lot of flavor and threw it away after a couple bites. I spoke to other people waiting for the food and they also said it was a long wait as well. I don't know if they had issues with the system or if someone was in training. They said the fettuccine was out but I saw like half of a tray on the counter? Not sure if that was meant for online orders or whatever but it was in poor taste to leave it out as it lead to disappointment. Two stars for the free meatballs as they had decent flavor, sauce was fine, lukewarm (that is being generous) even though they had JUST SERVED IT. Won't be coming back.

If you're wondering/debating about what food to get for your kids while at Armature Works, look no…read morefurther and order something decisive at DalMoros. Ever since going to Armature, DalMoros has always been a staple for my family. One of the cool things about DalMoros is the fairly simple menu and selection path. You pick your pasta and the sauce to go with. This is always desired compared to a super extensive and overwhelming menu. The pasta is always a hit with the little ones. The most recent combination was the penne and cacio e pepe - just the perfect base flavor compared to the tangy and sometimes spicier options. When it comes to freshness, freshly made pasta at the site appears to be one of the pillars of the DalMoros business model. You can't go wrong with this as it is cooked to al dente perfection. As others mentioned, there usually isn't a line - and if there is, the staff is able to manage it fairly well such that you can place your order and pick your made-to-order meal within a relatively good time. Would definitely recommend DalMoros if you're ever feeling up for Italian, or just want something hassle free for the kids.
