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.

    Decided to take my roommate out tonight for a Christmas dinner at Sacred Pepper and we both enjoyed the dinner immensely. I have eaten here many times and never have been disappointed. It's the best place around for the ambiance, the awesome wine/cocktails, delicious food, and for their exceptional service staff. My roommate had the Chicken Burrata dinner and he said the chicken was vey juicy and flavorful. And he loved the warm orzo pasta it came with. I had the seasonal Cod dinner and it is already one of my favorites. And it came with cheesy potatoes and green beans, And their bread is another special treat that you cant help yourself to. My server "Adam" was so friendly, attentive, efficient, and he made sure our Christmas dinner was very special and memorable. My roommate was really impressed and can't wait to try more dinner entrees at Sacred Pepper.

    Chicken on Sunday special for 2 was overcooked. Like it was prepared ahead of time and left to warm for hours.

    Last night was my 28th dinner at Sacred Pepper since July. I have never had a bad experience yet and why I keep coming back. It’s my favorite restaurant in the Tampa area. The best place for awesome selections of wine/cocktails, shareable plates, dinner entrees, after dinner drinks, and some delicious desserts. And everything is “That Good”. Last night I let my regular server “Adam” pick out my wine and my dinner entrée since he always makes excellent recommendations to me. The wine choice was phenomenal and Sacred Pepper has an awesome selection of wines to choose from. He then brought me the Caramelized Brussels Sprouts w/Applewood bacon & a balsamic glaze that are so good and plenty to share. For my dinner entrée, he chose the Cod dinner which came with sliced cheesy potatoes and green beans. It was very filling and flavorful and my new favorite. Thank You “Adam” for making all my dinners at Sacred Pepper so enjoyable and memorable. Servers are a dime a dozen, but great servers are rare, and you are the “Best”. Sacred Pepper does have an exceptional service staff, and all are very friendly, efficient, attentive, knowledgeable, and very welcoming.
