Italian pronunciation - "S"

I can't catch the pronunciation of "S" and confused between my grammar book (circa 1965) and Google Translator: I understood the book as it should be [s] in words like casa, cosa, Pasqua and posta and [z]. Google pronounces it with definite [s] in "Pasqua" or "posta" but with [z] in "casa" and "cosa".
Rosa, frase, sbagli and snello should have "s" pronounced as [z] and casa, cosa, and posta as [s], is this correct?
