Tapas Restaurants in St. Petersburg, FL

“We had a company get together with the tasting menu. Chad set everyone up with their choice of wine and later a few bottles for the table. All the staff was very accommodating and kind, even took a few group photos. The atmosphere is cozy, warm and inviting. We will definitely be returning in the near future.“

“Tonight was my first visit to Allelo on Beach Drive in St. Pete. We didn’t have a reservation but were lucky to get seats at the bar around 7 p.m. They mentioned they were fully booked, though we did notice a few tables open both when we arrived and when we left. Still, we ended up having a great time at the bar! The female bartender was pretty friendly and attentive, and the bar back (a male) was busy helping with table and silverware setup ~ both were good. We ordered the Baby Gem Salad, Mussels in a delicious tomato sauce, and the Cocktail Shrimp, which were all fantastic. The cocktails were unique and interestingly crafted. The espresso martini had an interesting twist ~ a subtle touch of amaro that gave it depth. The lemon drop martini was made with their house lemonade, which gave it a refreshing and slightly unexpected flavor. My friend ordered the Aperol Spritz and really enjoyed it too. It was a bit loud inside, so next time I’ll definitely ask to sit outside, especially in this beautiful weather. The restaurant has a charming patio right on Beach Drive, a cozy bar area, and another smaller dining room to the right as you walk in. The space is beautifully decorated, with a hand-painted mural of birds by a local artist. They even provided a list so guests can learn about each bird featured on the wall ~ a thoughtful touch! I’m surprised it took me this long to visit, especially since I consider myself quite the foodie. Allelo has been open for 5 years, and after tonight, I can definitely say I’ll be back soon!“

“Anna is the best host! We’ve been coming to Ceviche Tapas Bar for the past five years, and we always ask to be seated with her. She’s always welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making every visit a great experience. She truly goes above and beyond to make us feel at home. Thank you, Anna, for your outstanding service. we’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“Michelin star quality dinner here! The house made sourdough bread and choice of creative butters feeds one’s body and soul. On to the pastas, which are unique and amazing! The pesto is so fresh, the basil tastes just picked from the plant. The lemon dill cream sings with flavor. And the pomegranite pomodoro is spicy sweet with tingles on the tongue as the finish. All the pasta is hand made on order. The wine selection is outstanding, with tastes of every possible varietal and all of the highest quality. The owner is on hand to ensure everything is perfect and the chef takes pride in each dish, as he should. Highly recommend!“

“This is the best bar in downtown St. Pete. We are here at least one day every week. Food is unbelievable and drinks are the best of anywhere in the area. Rick and Tony are awesome. Highly recommend checking it out and grabbing a smoke stack and some amazing food.“

“It doesn’t get better when it comes to food, specialty drinks, service and atmosphere. This is the place to be for calm beauty and good conversation or just plain chilling. Only downside is the prices are the highest in the region.“

“Awesome happy hour, such good prices and fresh sushi! I will for sure be back!“

“Our server, Steve, was very nice and took good care of us. I chose the restaurant because of two vegan options they had on the menu - the roasted eggplant entree and warm chickpea salad. Unfortunately they do not have either anymore which was really disappointing. I opted for the quinoa tabbouleh salad as my entree which was very good. The roasted butternut, mushroom and sauteed kale side was very good and had lots of flavor. They were out of the broccolini so I went with the asparagus which was also very good.“

“Had an amazing experience at The Lure yesterday for my daughter’s 22nd birthday. We were able to enjoy our meal with our dogs too!! Great service, great food (the Onolicious is something special) and super super dog friendly. Thank you!!“
