Great Italian restaurant a few steps away from our airbnb - the salad is awesome, pizzas so yummy, and the pasta divine. Great for dining at the restaurant or even take out!

Great lunch or dinner spot steps from our airbnb offering healthy options for your entree. I particularly like the 4 or 6 bowl with bbq chicken, cauli mash, mushrooms, broccoli, and coconut sriracha sauce. You can order online an pickup, or dine in.

Love their bowls and chips and queso - they tend to be a bit pricy, and it is alllllways busy and packed. Great ambiance for a night out, or you can order for pickup/uber eats and easily grab it to go.

The trendiest of places in south Tampa. You will need a reservation, booked several weeks/months in advance, and dress up! Think Bern's, but for the younger crowd.

Great place for a date. Reservation recommended.
Husband and I went here for an impromptu date night. I ordered the scallops, and my husband the steak, sharing the steak tartar app. The steak tartar was on pointe, full of flavor, and just the right consistency.
The scallop entree - I don't even know what to say - my food was so flavorful that I felt like my taste buds exploded with every bite. Veggies? Devoured like candy. The scallops were cooked perfectly and had just the right seasoning. My husband loved the steak as well, although he said the bites of the scallop (I generously allowed him) were more flavorful.
Server was attentive, noise level perfect, and the manager (owner?) seemed to keep tabs on everything going on. Top notch hidden gem. Definitely check it out!

Another beautiful restaurant alternative to the always booked Berns or Timpanos, Ponte is set in the newly established nearly Midtown, and has a highly regarded food menu and wine selection. Score yourself a reservation here.

Another wonderful restaurant option, this time in nearby Channelside. Great food and ambiance, this place also requires reservations.
