Chef Chris Ponte's Tampa restaurant — modern Italian and Mediterranean cooking with French influences in a polished room, from one of Tampa's most-recognized chef-restaurant groups (sibling restaurants Olivia and Counter Culture). The handmade pastas, the wood-fired meats, the chef-driven seasonal menu. Less ambitious than the Tampa Michelin destinations, more about reliable execution from one of the city's most-established chef partnerships. For modern Italian-leaning cooking from a defining Tampa chef name.
