My husband and I had a wonderful time at Casa Consenza for my birthday. They made me feel very special that evening. The food was amazing and so fresh. The service was impeccable. I highly recommend Casa Cosenza for a truly authentic Italian experience.

Was told to eat here by a friend of mine and man am I glad I listened. First off the restaurant feels very inviting and has a at home Italian feel. The live piano music was excellent and the staff was very polite and motivated to serve. I took the pianist advice and had the bone in breaded veal, Wow its was delicious beyond description and paired well with the red wine my server recommended. My family both had the bolognese and we loved each others food so much that we pretty my shared each others meals. I will definitely come back to this Casa Cosenza when I'm back in town.

A go-to spot when in Oldsmar. Family business that makes their own pasta and a superbly attentive staff. Dishes are always spot on. The piano is a nice touch.

The place needs MORE staff!Got there at 7:30 PM.Finally was able to order our food at 8:00 and the drinks did not arrive until 8:10.....40 minutes after we sat down.Yes, we had a party of 10 people but that is not an excuse for the food to arrive until 9:15 (we had a reservation for 7:30).This is not AT ALL a knock on our waiter. The poor guy was running around like crazy and was serving way more tables that he should have. Also notice that he had to mix his own drinks.To me, starting to eat at 1 hr 45 minutes after the reservation time is not acceptable.All gripes aside, the food was REALLY excellent but I do not think I'm coming back until they address their staffing.

First time visit after reading rave reviews. First impression after being seated was place was unkept/dirty. Our cloth seat covers were stained and the fabric shade covering our window was spotted with red sauce. Our bread dishes had chipped edges. Silverware was spotted. The inside decor is white and it looked like baseboards/walls had not been cleaned in months. Not a good indicator for food prep area cleanliness. Wife want to leave but I insisted on giving the food a chance. Wish I hadn't. Bread service was 4 melba-thin slices of hard Italian. Bruschetta Casa was nicely served on wood plater but used same bread topped with limp Arugula and sliced olives(canned). Pollo alla Boscaiola was nice portion of boneless chicken but Marsala sauce was boring with few mushrooms serve with breakfast style potatoes and grilled zucchini. The potatoes just didn't fit the dish. Wife had Fettuccine Primavera which was presented nicely but pasta and sauce lack flavor(salt). There were only a few sliced Porta Bella mushrooms and the prosciutto tasted/looked like diced ham. Service was average at best...not a lot of smiles or conversation. Lots of apologies for being out of a popular Cabernet wine(on a Friday at 5:30p). My wife and I are world travelers and I am a retired chef. We understand what it takes to run a restaurant and present an attractive and tasteful menu. This restaurant does neither. $128 for 3 wines, 1 martini, 1 appetizer, 2 entries. AVOID!

What a hidden gem this place is...very nondescript on the outside but just go inside and it's absolutely stunning with it's dark wood floors and beautiful white draping with white linen tablecloths and a beautiful piano to entertain you ( Fri & Sat) The pasta is all made on site and is perfection ! But don't stop at only pasta the veal dishes were excellent and so tender. Fresh seafood is also prepared perfectly. Let's talk about the extensive wine list ..even the house wines were above average. Not a wine person the dirty martini's were made perfectly chilled as was the old fashioned. Dessert you ask? Don't leave without having some You will enjoy this place tremendously..the staff. The food the ambiance they have it in spades here

Didn't even know about this restaurant until we found it on Open Table after our first choice was booked. There were 4 in our party and all of us remarked on the delicious food, helpful service and the delightful owner who seated us. The live piano player was an unexpected treat. My order of pasta primavera was the best pasta I've ever had, hands down (and I've been to Italy more than once). Very unassuming from the outside and located in a strip mall, but an absolute delight. We will be back!

You have not eaten at Casa Cosenza? Homemade, authentic, delicious Italian cuisine. are you waiting for? Outstanding service with Pepe, Freddy, Chase, and Hudson. Our favorite restaurant in the Palm Harbor/Clearwater/Oldsmar area.

Fabulous fresh made pasta dishes. Service was great and we found it amazing how just 4 people served an entire dining room so effortlessly. We had a wonderful dinner with exceptional food and service.

Casa Cosenza never disappoints. The ambience, the comfort, the friendly service, and most of all the food is all anyone could ever ask for in a charming, authentic neighborhood upscale Italian restaurant.

What an amazing experience! My husband took me here for a belated Valentine's dinner. The service was impeccable. Highly attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. All the pasta was made fresh. You could taste it. My husband ask for the flowers he bought to be brought out to me after we were seated. They brought 2 glasses of rose and my beautiful roses. They followed his instructions to the tee. This is not a fast experience but that's what I loved about it. We spent some quality time together. They weren't focused on turning tables but instead giving great service. The night ended with complimentary shots of Lemoncelo. This will definitely be our go to place for Italian food from now on. Don't let the location fool you. This is a 5 star restaurant for sure!
