"Founded in 1905 by Cuban immigrant Casimiro Hernandez, Sr., the Columbia Restaurant is Florida’s oldest and the world’s largest Spanish restaurant and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2005. It began in Tampa’s Ybor City, (pronounced EE-bore) as a small corner café known for its Cuban coffee and authentic Cuban sandwiches, frequented by the local cigar workers. Casimiro Sr. took over the restaurant next door in 1919 and converted it into an additional dining room. His son, Casimiro Jr. also joined the business. Following the death of Casimiro Sr. in 1930, Casimiro Jr. took over ownership and operation of the restaurant."

"Rehearsal Dinner If you are part of the wedding party, please be at the church by 4:45 p.m. on Friday night. The dinner will follow around 6:00."

"Can't find a better place. Pre-wedding coordination was a bit dicey and did not always have us feeling confident. But our event coordinator did swing into action in the last few weeks. And the day of- everything was smashing. If you have a reception here your food will be TERRIFIC. Plus you just cannot beat the price. I would say it's the best value in the city. People still talk about it."
