About Cipresso (in Seminole Hard Rock Tampa)

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.

Despite the good food, 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. However, the staff are generally friendly and attentive, with excellent servers and bartenders like Natalie at the bar. The atmosphere is upscale but relaxing.

Some dishes, like the lobster ravioli, disappoint—the lobster was tough, and the cognac sauce lacked flavor. The Caprese salad, while flavorful, wasn’t constructed as expected. Still, the overall experience is delightful, especially with great wine pairings like the Chianti Rùfina Riserva ‘21. For a better experience, consider sitting at the bar.
