Osteria Natalina

Item: Osteria Natalina

Cuisine: European, Italian

Price Range: $$

10Best Says

Osteria Natalina is a casual restaurant located in a strip mall in south Tampa. As its location suggests, the restaurant is unassuming from the outside, and once inside, it's pretty unassuming there as well. But looks are not everything - and in this case, they just don't count. The authentic homemade specialties served here are rhapsodized about throughout Tampa. After being greeted warmly upon entering by the owner, Spartaco, expect to be dazzled. Dishes are reflective of the owner's birthplace, Rimini, on the Adriatic coast of Italy, and are based on his mother Natalina's recipes. Specialties also reflect the owner's birthplace with a focus on seafood and homemade pasta.
