Passion for food and people is key

Da Sesto Italiano Ristorante e Vino opened its doors in January 2007. Starting out as a boutique-size restaurant, chef Sesto has since grown his business and relocated the restaurant to the larger present location on 66th St N., in Pinellas Park, Florida. Our restaurant has been serving the most authentic regional Italian cuisine with fresh pasta for more than 15 years and has earned multiple awards including the Certificate of Excellence - Hall of Fame by Tripadvisor for six years in a row since 2015. Our restaurant has also won the Best of Tampa Bay award for 16 years running. Chef-owner Sesto prides himself in having created the most authentic Italian dining experience and continually strives to give his customers traditional Le Marche Region dishes as well as new and creative dishes. Sesto has also built an extensive wine collection and enjoys introducing his customers to great Italian wines, especially those from the Marche Region of Italy where he is from. Sesto invites you to come to enjoy an authentic Italian experience. Salute! Cheers!

Authentic Italian Cuisine

Sesto's Mechanical Engineering degree proved useful in helping him start Techno-Pasta which specialized in the sale and service of pasta manufacturing equipment. This would eventually lead him to service Florida Pasta Company in Clearwater, Florida, and in the end, buy Florida Pasta and move his family to St. Petersburg in 1997. For over ten years, Sesto managed Florida Pasta Company (which now has its products distributed statewide) before deciding to open up his own restaurant, Da Sesto Italiano Ristorante e Vino in 2007.
