If you are searching for authentic Northern Italian cuisine you have found the right place. Osteria Natalina is a hidden gem in Tampa. I had the opportunity to travel throughout Northern Italy and ate plenty of food that was a delight for my eyes and taste buds. There isn’t one Italian restaurant in town that replicated those dining experiences except this one. The service is impeccable, friendly and warm. The dining experience is similar to European customs. Don’t expect to rush in and out. Rather, sit back and enjoy your time here. The restaurant is very clean, small and cozy. It’s not loud like so many restaurants are these days. The menu has many delicious options. If you can’t find what you are looking for ask the waiter to see if the dish you are requesting can be prepared for you. I have been here at least four or five times and can’t say enough positive things about it. The food is consistently excellent, full of flavor and the portions are just the right size. I assure you I always leave completely satisfied and have discriminating taste in good food. I highly encourage you to try it out if you have never been before. You will be pleasantly surprised. Ciao!
I’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile. Like all the restaurants over in those shopping centers, it is a mission to find parking. The restaurant itself is tiny and cozy but definitely gives you that warm feeling of a really friendly Italian family making you homemade dishes. They were extremely accommodating as my friend was debating between two dishes and our waiter (which also could have been one of the owners)surprised us with both. I had one of the specials which was a very interesting seasonal twist on four cheese raviolis, this one had pear and walnuts. The texture and taste was awesome. Portion size for me was perfect but for people who are used to Olive Garden portions, this might not be the place for you. I highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic and delicious Italian food in South Tampa.
Great little spot in the crowded restaurant scene in this area of Tampa. Small cozy inside so if this is not your bag then look elsewhere. If you do tyou will miss a truly Italian experience in service, food and ambiance.Very romantic as well for a date night, special occasion or other worthy woo the babe event.Food was excellent and we even got some personal attention from the ownership on our visit. Wish there were more like this one around, in Tampa and other places as well.Well done.
Rude!. I called the restaurant to reserve a table and the guy who answered rudely told me no reservations, first come first serve. So I thought, I’ll give it a try regardless. My friends and I show up at the restaurant at 5:30 for dinner and went to open the door, which was locked. Strange, i thought, since there were two men sitting right at the entrance looking outside at us. I knocked and a guy opened the door and asked what we needed. I said, uhh, dinner? He said we’re not open; I explained I had called and was told 5:30. He said it’s not 5:30; my friends and I all have 5:30 as the time. I said, ummm, it is 5:30. He said not by my watch and went to close the door. I said wait a minute; you are the same rude guy I talked to on the phone (the owner I’m pretty sure). He said you don’t like it go somewhere else. Jesus are you kidding me!? Clearly, we left…

Amazing!!! One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to. The service was incredible, very nice staff. Very reasonably priced, will definitely recommend and come back. A+++
A Lot Like Italy. Customer service is outstanding and enough to keep coming back. The food is also outstanding. Lived in Europe, visited Italy and this is very close.
