Cipresso at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa offers a variety of Italian specialties, with dishes like mussels marinara served in a cast iron pan. The Carne pizza is excellent, perfectly sized for sharing, and the meatball pizza has a delicious crust. The charcuterie, bread, meat, and cheese plate remain standout dishes, while the chicken marsala and filet mignon are also outstanding. The spinach salad is keto-friendly with bacon, egg, and gorgonzola.
The restaurant's atmosphere is upscale but relaxing, and the staff are generally friendly and attentive, with excellent servers and bartenders. However, some customers have noted long wait times and unfriendly service by the hostess. The limited menu options and the presence of gnats in the restaurant have also been mentioned.
The overall experience is delightful, especially with great wine pairings like the Chianti Rùfina Riserva '21. The Truffle Mushroom Alfredo and Nonna's Meatballs are highly recommended, while the meat lasagna was found to be dry. The scallop special and sea bass were also praised, and the steak was said to be better than at the nearby Council Oak Steaks & Seafood.
