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.

    For dinner last night at Sacred Pepper, I had the” COD” Special that was delicious and flavorful. I added the Sacred Hear Salad that was full of fresh ingredients and a side of the Tillamook Cheddar Creamed Corn w/Applewood bacon that is a new favorite side of mine. My regular server “Adam” made a recommendation for me to try the Pieropan Soave Classico wine from Veneto, Italy and it was phenomenal, and that wine has had an excellent rating for several years (92 – 94 points). Sacred pepper has the best wine selections around, fantastic menu choices, and an amazing service staff that are all so attentive, friendly, & welcoming! Always a Special & Memorable dining experience to share with family & friends!

    Our reservation was for 730 and we did not get seated until 8:10. Walker the manager was exceptional because of not seating us bought our daughter appetizers for her birthday. Actually, he was very genuine with making the rest of our night fun. Our waitress on the hand was very good but seemed like she wanted to be someone else. It wasn’t the best experience but it could have been better considering we waited 40 minutes to be seated. The dinner food was on point like always. Last, we ordered dessert for the table and we ate unfortunately we finished our dessert but she forgot the crème bruleee and our guest had to eat by himself why the table was done. Not very good for the experience. I want to say our server’s name was emeralda. Thank you walker, but you still should have checked up on us. Great place to eat.

    My favorite restaurant to visit when I’m in the area. The food is delicious. Everything is very fresh, served temperature appropriate and quickly. The service is top notch. I have enjoyed every meal from the Sacred Pepper.

    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!
