Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Ybor City

The food was exceptional—truly top tier. Every dish we tried was fantastic. While our entrée took a bit longer to arrive, the appetizers came out quickly. The service was good. The standout dish was the goat cheese croquettes with guava sauce—absolutely incredible. The guacamole and chips, as well as the ceviche, were also delicious. For the main course, the steak frites were cooked perfectly, with tender, flavorful steak complemented by a delicious chimichurri sauce. The potatoes were equally impressive. Overall, a wonderful dining experience!

This by far one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the Tampa Bay Area. I’m thankful for their food & service. Amber was our server & she was very attentive, knowledgeable & polite. The food was excellent, as being a vegetarian they were able to accommodate very well. Our only wish was due to us removing meat from our bruschetta board we wished they’d added more cheeses. However, food was delicious. We will be recommending to others & for sure going back. Thank you!

One, if not the best experiences we've had at a restaurant. Our waitress was so well versed in all of the courses. The meals were absolutely divine and made valentines amazing. The butter rolls and blood orange cake really stuck out with us and were so glad that we were able to take it all to go. Definitely worth trying during your visit to Tampa!

Parm to Table experience is ABSOLUTELY worth the price, and for 2 people is actually better pricewise than most two-entree combinations. Atmosphere was lovely, our server was kind and knowledgeable, and amazing Italian food.

Every year we meet friends here & enjoy a Spanish / Cuban meal in one of many rooms of this historic restaurant. There are three large parking lots, a gift shop and always a wait. Today we discovered that the restaurant is expanding and taking over the gift shop. The gift shop will be moving across the street. We always start with the sangria which Victoria prepared table side in a Spanish pitcher. The warm bread & 1905 salad is excellent. We shared 4 small devil crab croquettes, beef saltedo & we finished by sharing a warm white chocolate bread pudding. Portions were huge & prices reasonable. Our lunch was delicious. All four of us devoured our meals. We went next-door into the gift shop with a sell, their beautiful pottery, tiles, wine, cigars, cookbook, and ingredients
