It's just south of Tampa Rd. on the west side of US19 in Palm Harbor. The interior is upscale. As we sat down, we were served a dinner roll and some of their compound butter. For starters, we shared the Fried Argentinian Shrimp & Artichokes. It was wonderful. It came with a nice dipping sauce. I would definitely recommend. We both had their version of a Caesar Salad with added anchovies. For entrées, we both ordered their specials of the day. We got the Chilean Sea Bass and their Veal Osso Buco. The Sea Bass was nicely cooked and had a bell pepper coulis. The Osso Buco was served on a bed of risotto. The service was friendly and speedy. As a heads-up, they only have iced tea in plastic bottles. Most diners ordered wine with their meals. The owner was nice enough to speak to everyone at the end of the evening.

First trip to Tarpon Springs. Saw good reviews and decided to swing in. the menu was pretty limited…read morebut my husband and I decided on the Greek salad and one of the platters. it took a while for our server to get to us to order but they eventually made it. My husband wanted a beer and asked for "one of the Greek beers" as there weren't any descriptions or options on the menu. Our server wrote it down and went on their way. My husband then commented that they must only have one Greek beer, because he wasn't given any options; the menu didn't list any specific beers either. After our drinks arrived I noticed our server smoking a cigarette outside on the sidewalk right outside the restaurant and right next to other dining tables. This was unsettling, and I kind of didn't want them handling our food after that. However, our food arrived promptly and was very good. I was surprised to find potato salad in my Greek salad, but it worked! The gyros were delicious as well and the pita bread was great. At one point we wanted more tzatziki sauce but our server was no where to be found. After a while they finally stopped by and we were able to ask for more sauce and our check. All together it was not the best experience. The food was very good but it was the experience that will keep us away. I find it unacceptable to have employees smoking out front of the restaurant, ESPECIALLY when it is in the outdoor dinning area. I am sure there is an area behind the restaurant that they can smoke if they need to. If I would have seen then when looking for a restaurant, I would have kept on walking.

Hi from Haze Amazing!!!!…read moreI am so glad that I saw this place on TV and found it on our trip! To say that the food was great is an understatement. For me it is the best Greek food I've eaten. The service and atmosphere were fantastic ,didn't make it on a Saturday when they have belly dancing! I have a problem because we live toooooo far away from them!!! Haze approved!!!

Love this place! Parking can be a little tricky in Tarpon Springs, but it's absolutely worth it…read moreevery time. The salads are HUGE, the gyro meat is always on point, and their BOGO homemade sangria is so refreshing--perfectly balanced, not overly sweet or too dry. I've been here at least four times this past year (and I live about 25 minutes away), and it has never disappointed. They also have free belly dancing shows and live music on Saturday evenings, which makes the whole experience even more fun. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to

My husband got the Chicken Pita platter with soup and rice. He said it was delicious. It was freshly cooked. I got the chicken souvlaki platter which had two huge skewers of chunks of white meat chicken. It was brushed with a garlic sauce and grilled. It was served with a Greek side salad and I chose the veggie of the day, peas. The chicken was moist, the sauce was garlicky genius. The Tzatziki and freshly grilled pita were also outstanding! The portions were huge and everything tasted freshly prepared. Service was friendly and attentive. We'll be back!

My only reasoning for not doing 5 stars was because the server was very friendly with everyone in the restaurant, but my table. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I don't think anyone upset her by anything we could've said. I know we asked her what was her favorite on the menu, and where the restrooms were, but that shouldn't have made her uncomfortable and unfriendly. I know people aren't regulars here, because I overheard a table talking about "Where we live in Michigan" and it's a touristy destination. So, anyway... The location was great. They had an acoustic singer outside and he was going a phenomenal job, and I had a great time watching everyone walking by and some stopped to take pics of the guy singing, and also of the building. Not sure what was so special about the restaurant, but definitely popular with some. I will give this place another try eventually just because of the food. Hopefully we'll get another person waiting on us, or at least be more friendly and attentive.

We were greeted immediately with our orders taken. I ordered a sangria but realizing it was happy hour so I was surprised when she brought me 2, and I'm not complaining! Sangria was delicious. The Greek combo platter was big enough for hubs and I to share and also had some to take home. Everything on the plate was delicious. I loved the Greek salad. We were supposed to get a side of veggies with our combo but never received it. Didn't realize until we left but it was so much food anyways. Definitely a place I'm adding to my fav list for when I'm in the area.

We still chose to give 5 stars because the food was delicious and the service was excellent. The staff was very friendly and attentive. When we sat down, the table already had olives and Turkish bread. I do not usually eat olives, but these were genuinely delicious. For our appetizer, we ordered babaghanoush with lavash bread. The lavash came out steaming, which is always fun to see. For dinner, we shared the mixed grill for two. There was plenty of food and we even took some home.

***GLUTEN FREE REVIEW*** On my Gluten Free journey to find…read morenew places to enjoy, I came across suggestions for Casa Cosenza. I read that the Chef is the wife/owner and the husband/owner runs front of house. I read they offered GF bread, pasta and other options. We went in right after they opened for the evening at 5:30pm. There was a couple at the bar and 5 gentlemen at a table. The ambiance and decor is nice and comfortable. There's a full bar. As we sat a young man brought water and menus right away, then brought a bread plate. I asked if he could bring GF bread. He returned and let me know there was none available. Not a big deal. The owner greeted us and I asked about the menu. On Yelp a menu shows clearly marked GF options, but none were on this revised menu. It did have a notation that GF options were available upon request. He said to just pick what I like and he'll see if it can be GF. I'll be honest, I "think" the server(s) must have called in sick because it was just the owner and the young kid, and the owner seemed very disorganized about serving and it wasnt even busy yet. It took a good 10-15 minutes until he was able to make his way back to us to order wine and a cocktail. His response to hubby's cocktail was that he's not a bartender and cant make a Moscow Mule. I asked if he had GingerBeer (I would walk him through it) but he said no. Hubby drank water, I had a glass of Pinot Noir. I knew things like Lasagne, Ravioli, etc could not be made GF, but the 3 plain pasta options weren't appealing to me. So I asked about the Eggplant appetizer and could it be made a dinner. He said he could make it dinner sized. Sounds good! Hubby got the Veal Scallopini Marsala. It does take awhile to get the food but you are forewarned that everything is fresh and made to order, so we were ok with the wait. My eggplant and sauce had a delicious flavor! However, the portion was small...either they forgot to make it larger (but charged me for it) or it just wasnt sufficient. Sadly, I left hungry. Worse, it was also COLD. I was so surprised! It was so cold that the Mozzarella Cheese was hardened on the inside. And speaking of hard....both hubby and my potatoes were hard and undercooked so we couldnt eat them. The veggies were good, but I also couldnt eat the chewy round parmesan crisps. Husband's Meal was decent, he said the sauce was delicious, but the veal was a bit tough, and again, his potatoes were undercooked and couldnt eat them. So to sum up, service was a bit disorganized and a tad slow (but I really do think someone called in as there was no server or bartender), the food was cold and small portions, BUT.....the flavor was really good! It is a bit of a disappointment to leave a restaurant hungry and paying $80 for a meal. Reading all the excellent reviews I think we just caught them on an off night. My suggestion, take your chances, it is a charming restaurant and the flavor of the food is really good--just try to catch them on a good night!
