Esposito’s Italian Restaurant Tampa

10/08/2026

No frills, no BS! It doesn’t make for a great photo only to taste like limp noodles. And it definitely doesn’t fall apart after your first bite. It’s a real OG lasagna!

Made with the best ricotta, Parmesan/Romano blend, ground beef bolognese, and Grande’ Mozzarella layered 3 times… and of course our 55 year old Sauce/Sugo/Sunday Gravy recipe! Don’t worry about taking a photo of it, just freakin taste it! Madone a Mia’ 🇮🇹👌🔥

I know AI has some people freakin out thinking the robots are going to take over the world; But hey, they have nothing but nice things to say about Esposito’s so far.

And I quote…
“Absolute must visit” “Grassroots phenomenon”
“Stepping into a classic episode of a homeland food tour”

I don’t know about you, but I think these guys know what they’re talking about! (Emphasizing our Goomba dialect)👌🇮🇹

Tampa Magazine did a great feature on a pasta dish that has caught fire through the piazzas in Roma and now currently on fire at Esposito’s Italian Restaurant… Can you say ZOZZONA MANIA! It’s an indulgent, delicious, decadent messy bite combining elements of Caico Pepe, Carbonara, and Amatriciana all in one pan with baby sausage meatballs.

Zozzona has appeared in Brooklyn and Boston but we are the ONLY Italian restaurant in Tampa currently serving this trendy Roman Trifecta! 👌🇮🇹
