Food. Flavors. People. Style.

Inspired by her flavorful travels, Candy DeBartolo set out to bring something different to North Tampa’s food scene: a dining destination where everything that happens around the table is considered sacred—a place where every detail matters. Together with her team of passionate experts, she opened Sacred Pepper to provide the community with new twists on classic favorites in an inviting atmosphere. Locally sourced ingredients and made-from-scratch pastas and sauces highlight a Contemporary American menu with dashes of Mediterranean flair. Cocktails are inspired by cultures from around the world as well as modern, traditional, and pre-prohibition tastes.

    Worst experience and management does not care! Rushing people out basically cause they were busy. I made a reservation for my family. We get seated takes forever for drinks. Then our apps finally come out. As we reach for them to start eating, our main courses are in front of us. We sent them back to enjoy our apps, and when they saw our apps were done, they brought out the same meals, cold, old and inedible! The lady manager didn’t care just said “I’ll take it off your bill”, well ya I didn’t eat it why would we pay for it… they ruined our night and tried to charge us the whole bill with no comps after seeing non of us ate. We had to go home to feed the kids dinner at 9 pm. This is not the sacred pepper we are used to… disgusting!!

    Great vibe and live music on a Friday night but we have been here a number of times and the food is very OK. Still go back again but next time just hang out around the bar area and get small plates.

    Really enjoyed our Friday night! The food, service (thanks Cory!), and entertainment were all spot on. The cosmo my wife had was perfect (not always the case), and every course was wonderful. Can’t wait to come back!

    Last night was my 6th month anniversary of eating at Sacred Pepper and after 33 dinners there it's still my favorite restaurant. The ambiance/decor. wine/drinks, excellent menu selections, and the exceptional service staff make it not just a dinner but a very special "dining experience" on every visit. Besides their delicious daily specials their "Sacred Sunday" sharing menu and their 3- course "Ciao Monday" menu are both exceptional values for the quality and quantity of food served. Last night I started with the Crab & Corn chowder and for dinner it was the Tenderloin Steak Bites that comes with a crispy polenta. And as an entree you get to choose 2 sides from wonderful selections. Everything was perfect and my regular server "Adam" was awesome as always!

    Overall, very good! Excellent ambience and service. Sacred Sunday menu is good, but I like the regular menu items better.

    Had another "Amazing" dinner tonight at Sacred Pepper. I had the seasonal special "Blackened Grouper dinner" and it was very delicious and flavorful. Add the excellent wine, Sacred Heart salad, and the Red Velvet Cake dessert and it was a "Perfect" dinner. My server "Adam" was exceptional and he always takes care of me like a VIP. He is just so friendly, courteous, personable, efficient, welcoming, and always makes the best recommendations for me. Sacred Pepper is my favorite restaurant in the Tampa area for ambiance, wine/drinks quality/quantity of food served, desserts, and the best service staff around!
