After living in Tampa for 5 years, let me tell you some of the best places to eat while there

The best italian food
Forbici Modern Italian
Espresso martinis here are amazing and the food is 5 stars
Battery
If you want fine dining, do not pass this one. Ocean prime is the prime seafood in Tampa and it's absolutely incredible.
Ocean Prime
I love how community oriented this place is. During holidays, football games, or parades, everyone in Tampa knows this is the spot. Grab a drink and have a view of the bay.
American Social - Bar & Kitchen - Tampa
High end steakhouse on steroids. The steak is melt in your mouth to die for
Meat Market Steakhouse Tampa
So good. Small menu but 1000% worth it. A must try in hyde park
On Swann
You need to try the parm to table. They come out with a big Parmesan block and make a delicious pesto pasta in it right in front of you
Timpano Hyde Park
Such good authentic mexican food. The drinks are also adorable and come with a little rubber duck. I love the aesthetic in this place
