I seriously cannot believe that this takeout food this good exists, in a residential neighborhood, in Tampa. If you have been to Osteria Natalina then you know what fresh, quality Italian cooking tastes like. And this place is run by O.N. The sausage and carbonara lasagnas were divine. I'm sure they all are. Ask for extra ceasar dressing!!!!!!!!!

This place has selected it Lasagna niche and filled it commendably. Their Lasagna is excellent, having tried beef and meatball variations and both sauces. Ate there once on a Restaurants.com discount and had their catered food at a local elementary school event...and thanks for donating to that. The owner was a bit unhappy we had a $25 Restaurant.com coupon since he does not get one cent of that amount, and had discontinued his contract with them......but fully accepted the one we presented....other places have not after change of ownership or mind. We tipped well and will return. We also tried their Mediterranean Salad....unusual and worth trying but probably not repeating....orzos, veggies, including baby corn, figs, pear and apple-----a bit too much kitchen sink but the standard Caesar salad comes with lasagna orders and is fine.

The owners of Osteria Natalina have done it again! This go round they made enjoying Italian cuisine a little more casual. We usually enjoy their food via take out. There isnt a long wait time for my food and it has that authentic, made from scratch, taste. Im a big fan of the beef lasagna with the pink sauce. I will most certainly be sure to frequent this place every time Im not in the mood to cook dinner.

Great food and great service. The meatballs were probably the best I've ever had. The eggplant roll was delicious. The meat lasagne in Vodka sauce was exquisite. The servers are courteous and service is prompt. Appears to be a family owned business. This is a great alternative to going to Maggianos for dinner for the people who live in South Tampa.

I have been to New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and even San Francisco... And I have never had lasagna this good! I rushed to the place because my friend said they close at 8 pm but I was lucky that they now close at 9 and it was so worth the drive.

It is Osteria Natalina/Spartaco's lasagna! How could we go wrong? What a great idea and perfect for my office party or a weekend with family when I don't want to cook The house salad is amazing and is a meal in itself. They seem to be open dinner hours now so I plan to swing by after work and pick up fully made dinner which my family will love!

Excellent, great/fast service and spectacular lasagna. Will pick up from them again. There are a few tables (literally three), but it is really geared around carry-out.

Love this place. The food is delicious and the people are so friendly. Can split most of their dinners into two. :)

Only open for a couple weeks but wow they are good. Awesome sauce and huge portions. Come hungry. Only bad thing is the hours. Hopefully as word gets out they will stay open longer

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
