ALLA FAMIGLIA!
To us, family is everything.
So Casa Santo Stefano is a salute to family.
It’s a new venture for the Gonzmarts, fourth
and fifth generation family owners of the
Columbia Restaurant.
Much of what we serve
here – from the wines in
your glass to the cheese
on your plate and even the
extra-virgin olive oil and
the salt on your food – we
import directly from family
businesses in Sicily.
Those hand-painted,
colorful backsplashes,
tabletops and countertops we ordered in
person from a family in Caltagirone, Sicily.
The vintage pictures artfully scattered
around the restaurant represent many of the
founding Sicilian families in Tampa, generously
shared with us by their proud descendants.
Enjoy your meal with us today.
