Osteria Natalina

The only thing I did not love about this place, is that it is not in Plant City where I live and it is a bit of a drive ... However! It was worth every minute I was on the road and I will be back again 100%. 7 people in our party with various tastes and everyone was raving about their dishes. I had a very large Veal Chop and I was in heaven.To the chef and all the ladies that made our evening so very special thank you, thank you, thank you!!Worth the drive and any wait you may have to get in

Overall the experience was great, but today it was missing the special spark of times before. The food was maybe slightly under seasoned or the vibe was just off. Maybe it's the 20% service charge, which is mentioned on the menu but no where else). Maybe it's just changed. Maybe it was an off day. Overall no complaints, just missing the spark that used to be there.

Osteria Natalina is a true hidden gem in Tampa! The cozy, authentic atmosphere makes you feel like you've stepped into a little Italian trattoria. While some may argue that fettuccine Alfredo isn't "real" Italian, theirs is absolutely incredible--rich, creamy, and downright addicting. Every dish is made with love and high-quality ingredients. If you're looking for an intimate spot with amazing homemade pasta, this is it!

The staff was so nice! The prices were amazing compared to back home in Orlando. We got the caprese, the special (meatball lasagna) and the tiramisu. Everything tasted amazing. The cork walls were interesting to look at, will be returning again!

The food was ok. My pasta needed a bit of salt. Service was amazing. However, be careful and read the check, they charge 20% tip. I'll probably tip the 20% anyway, but is not necessary to charge you before paying. I don't know if I'll be back

This. Place. Is. A. Must. My husband found out about Osteria from a friend and decided to bring me here for a surprise birthday dinner. It. Was. AMAZING.We brought our own bottle of wine and paid a $25 corkage fee. This was worth it because I had a special bottle for the occasion. But they do have wine and beer for purchase (no liquor that I saw).The restaurant is that of a small Italian cucina, very quaint and romantic. Only about a dozen tables or so and first come first serve, no reservations. We waited about 40 min for our table (party of 2) but was able to open our wine and be served while waiting. The service was EXQUISITE! Wow, what an experience from the time we arrived to when we left. Everyone was so knowledgeable and nice! The menu has a variety of Italian dishes. We started with the special meatball appetizer and mussels. The BEST! The meatballs were perfection!My husband had one of the specials with included the most TENDER filet I've ever had along with a decadent truffle pasta I couldn't decide on a dish (they all sounded so good!). Our server helped me and I decided on chicken parmigiana. Keep in mind, they will make (and your server will tell you this) ANY TRADITIONAL ITALIAN DISH. The service is just amazing. To top it off, one of the server overheard my husband tell another customer it was my birthday (while we had been waiting for a table). So at the end, it was a surprise to us both when we were brought two mini cannolis. Of course they were PERFECTION. So, with all that said and in case I didn't use enough capital words...YOU MUST EXPERIENCE THIS RESTAURANT AND ALL THEY HAVE TO OFFER. Come with an appetite and your own bottle of wine if you wish. Our experience here was exquisite and I hope to go back one day soon!P.S. they also have a pretty busy to-go service, so if you don't have the time to enjoy the ambiance, at least try the food to go!

Such lovely & attentive staff on a busy Saturday night. The dishes were thoroughly explained and items not shown on the menu were offered. Our meals were delicious! What a perfect setting for my first dinner in Tampa!

Such a local gem! Osteria Natalina has been around the corner from me for years and I finally made a stop in for a weekday dinner with a friend! They don't take reservations and the place is fairly small so we got there a little early and we're seated right away. It wasn't too crowded the entire time we were there but with the amazing service and food, I would be surprised if they weren't busy on the weekends!!! The servers were very nice and attentive and the food was amazing quality and so freaking delicious! The portions were also a nice size. I can't say there was one standout because everything was amazing. I will say that the amaretto cake was prob one of the best desserts I have had in a while. Highly recommend if you're craving some great Italian food!

Absolutely fabulous. It's on a first come, first served basis. The food was wonderful and the server shared that if the chef is able to, he will substitute any pasta for anything or make any variation. Obviously that's not possible if they're full, but how fabulous if it's a slow night to be able to ask for some dish my grandmother used to make?! I love that. The restaurant itself is very small, but beautifully decorated. It feels like a neighborhood treasure. My favorite thing was the squash carpaccio. Delicious!

Italian food served by brazialians. Lol. It was ok. Nothing to right home about. Mussels were disappointing. Pasta dishes all around top notch.
