Our Italian Heritage
“An authentic Italian food experience straight from Italy.”
Dedicated to sharing with our guests what true, unadulterated Italian cuisine tastes like: founded on centuries of tradition, family recipes, and the reverence of fresh, uncompromised ingredients.
When the Love of Cooking Meets Quality Ingredients
In our kitchen, there are no shortcuts, no pre-cooked pastas waiting in plastic tubs, and no mass-produced sauces. From the moment our doors opened in Oldsmar, Florida, Casa Cosenza was conceived as an authentic sanctuary of Italian gastronomy.
We serve the finest ingredients imported directly from Italy: genuine Parmigiano-Reggiano aged up to 36 months, delicate Prosciutto di Parma, whole San Marzano tomatoes sun-ripened at the base of Mount Vesuvius, and cold-pressed extra virgin olive oils pressed from ancient groves.
To honor these gifts, our pasta dough is blended and rolled every morning using authentic Italian flour and farm-fresh eggs. Our signature mozzarella cheese is stretched and shaped by hand before every dinner service. Even our artisan gelato is churned fresh in-house.
“Ours is a peaceful, elegant, and exquisite restaurant that puts quality and genuine hospitality at the center of every preparation.”
