South Tampa Restaurants

I can’t believe we’ve lived in Tampa and haven’t been to timpano until last night. What a great restaurant! Food was great, service was great, atmosphere was great and everything is at a price point that won’t kill your wallet.

Our servers Nicholas and Shelby were amazing and the food was unbelievable. Definitely a great experience

Charley’s is our go-to when we are in Tampa. The food is ALWAYS amazing. The Bison Ribeye was perfectly prepared, the baked potato was one of the best we’ve ever had. We sat at the bar, and were somewhat disappointed with the service. We typically choose to sit at the bar when we go to Charley’s because the bartenders are always great—super informative, friendly and helpful. Last night something was missing with the service we received. Again, the food was remarkable as always.

We love eating on the patio. The food is always consistent, flavorful and well presented. I love that there is always a specials list. The servers are very attentive and fun. I recommend it to all.

Haven in Tampa exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and chic, especially in the bar area—it’s beautifully designed and perfect for enjoying a drink. Speaking of drinks, the Berns cappuccino was an absolute highlight, with rich flavors that were perfectly balanced. The Brussels sprouts were phenomenal, easily one of the best dishes of the night. They were so well-prepared, packed with flavor, and left a lasting impression. Our waiter made the evening truly unforgettable, delivering impeccable service with a warm and attentive attitude. They went out of their way to make my wife feel special on her birthday, adding a personal touch that elevated our experience. We’d give our server a 10 out of 5 if we could! Haven is a spot I’d wholeheartedly recommend for any occasion—whether a casual evening out or a special celebration. We can’t wait to return!
