I first came here with some friends after a Lightning game a few weeks ago at around 11 PM and was left feeling meh about it. I ordered a whiskey sour that was just okay - no froth of any kind on the top, which was kinda disappointing. I really enjoyed the feel of the place on the inside, though. It was very warm and cozy - I think everyone feels the same way. They've done a phenomenal job with the design choices inside. That first experience did not turn me off from trying them out again due to the ambiance and the solid experience with our server, who handled our large group well. I returned yesterday prior to another Lightning game with my dad. It admittedly was not my first choice, but after seeing how ridiculously packed Yard House was and seeing that another bar of choice was not open, we landed on Predalina. It was booming in there prior to the game, with a mix of other fans and also better-dressed-than-I patrons who were obviously there specifically for Predalina and not just getting pregame cocktails. There were a few single chairs available at the bar - no two seats open next to each other - meaning one person in our party of two had to stand. No big deal and to be expected, given the time of day and the influx of people downtown for the game. We were greeted by our bartender, Jada, and boy, were we lucky to have her! I started with another whiskey sour - specifically requesting egg white this time and choosing Michter's as my liquor of choice. My dad got their in-menu Old Fashioned. His drink was out quite quickly and was great, with the flavors being slightly reminiscent of chocolate milk - in a good way. Mine took a bit longer, with her having the extra step of needing to add the egg, but it was worth the wait! It was very smooth and easy to sip on, not too sweet and not too sour. After we finished those, we ordered the zucchini chips (picture poorly taken by yours truly) and made a bit of a request of Jada. We asked if there were any drinks she had been working on or that she enjoyed making, adding that we were fine with any liquor other than vodka - something from bourbon to gin or mezcal - and left it all up to her. She ended up making us a mezcal sour (I think, also pictured). I am not the biggest mezcal fan myself, unlike my dad, but I always love trying what the bartender likes to make, and this cocktail definitely improved the mezcal experience for me. It made it much smoother, getting rid of the slight bitterness that you can get with mezcal sometimes and making the smokiness more bearable. My dad then requested she make one more of that same drink, but with Laphroaig instead, to see how that interacted with the other flavors of the cocktail. It had a similar effect, neutralizing a bit of the smokiness that, to me, is too much with Laphroaig on its own. Hats off to Jada for making some kick*** cocktails and, seemingly, having fun doing it - that's a big part of the experience, seeing the bartender enjoying their art. This is a great place for a night out with friends, a date night, or pregaming hockey games - or any other reason you may have to go somewhere and enjoy solid food and great cocktails - at least as long as you get Jada as your bartender. I can't speak for the other bartenders... yet. read more

The original Predalina was a complete zero star failure. I went one time and everything I tried was garbage. There was never a reason to go back when you can instead walk an extra 30 seconds and go to Boulon. I ran into a guy that told me he loved going to Predalina Happy Hour. The happy hour is every day from 3-5pm. I had never been for happy hour, and this guy raved about how good the burger was so I thought I'd make my first appearance here since it opened. What really caught my eye though was, "Room Service." You get two dirty martinis, Predalina Caesar, kalamata aioli, crispy fries all for $35. I have recently got into dirty martinis so I really enjoyed both of mine. Now for the food, I would skip the Caesar salad and the fries. You are literally served like an entire 5 pound bag of fries. The fries tasted fine, but I felt like it was enough fries for a family of 4. The salad was pretty bland and blah. I asked if next time substitute all of the food and trade it for a 3rd dirty martini. They said no. What a gip. There's no point of this "deal" when the food is barely eatable. I still really wanted to try the burger even after 5 pounds of fries. So I did end up getting the $16 Predalina Burger. The burger was totally worth it. Way better than Room Service. I thought the burger was on par with Boulon. I also tried an $18 Monkey Business. Not nearly a strong enough mezcal taste for me. The drink fell flat. I still don't see why anyone would come here over Boulon. I just don't get it. Now when you are inside it's like you're eating in the dark. Open the curtains. Let some light in. What in the world is management here thinking? You have to use the flashlight on your phone to find your way around at all. I might try this spot one more time, but I've never been impressed when coming here. There are just too many better options on Water St. read more

Predalina has a beautiful, dark, earthy ambiance with a very bohemian chic vibe...it definitely makes for a unique dining experience. The food was a highlight. The zucchini chips were a delicious starter, and the lamb chops were seasoned and cooked perfectly, they melted in your mouth. The blue crab pasta had a generous portion of crab and was well-cooked, but it was much spicier than expected definitely a kick to it, so keep that in mind if you're not into spice. The eggplant pasta was also very tasty and something I'd order again. Service was good overall, but drinks and food took a while to come out. That said, the Cosmo was one of the best I've ever had ...perfectly balanced, not too sweet or too strong. Everything was really amazing once it got to the table. read more

PROS: The food is amazing, the drinks are very good and the interior design style is classic. My only input there is that it's a little dark inside during the day and customers are commenting on it (not just me). CONS: 1) The bar staff... I say again.."the bar staff". While they make great drinks, they are very slow, unresponsive, forgetful and at times outright rude and I am definitely not the only person who noticed. The talk in the town this very issue. The good news is that this VERY fixable issue and the mgt is aware of it. 2) Another issue, they need a dress code. There are customers walking in dressed as if they are going to the gym or in simply unacceptable clothing for a Resturant at this level. Yard of Ale attire shouldn't be allowed. It's nearly all the male customers that look like this. The ladies, for the most part, are always dress up and look smashing. read more

Had dinner here on a Wednesday night with a big group for our girl's birthday dinner and it was a really nice time. This was my first time at Predalina, so I wasn't completely sure what to expect though I had heard good things. The inside is dimly lit and feels intimate - the trees and natural wood aesthetic was very much my vibe and I thought it was really beautiful. The eggplant rigatoni was fantastic - highly recommend trying it. The zucchini chips and the fries with the olive aioli were also really good. We had the Predalina cocktail as well and we all really enjoyed it. It feels like a good date night spot and it's in a good location on water street for a romantic walk before or afterwards. read more

This was an overall really good meal. The downside was that there was an event going on at the arena so parking was a problem. Our server was great. He had great suggestions and checked on us frequently. The lighting is dim and I loved the light fixtures.

Not sure the hype Not sure about Michelin - we visited for 'brunch' but less than 10 items for brunch? No brunch-special drinks or really anything elevated. Service was good, very sweet, but food timing was off- food before apps, not refilling water. A really good espresso martini Steak frites, ok, needed flavor and spice The aoili dip was strawberry flavor? Not sure since it wasn't mentioned or explained The zucchini chips were chefs kiss, but eat them fast before the oil soaks your plate Great decor read more

When you first walk into Predalina, the lighting is a bit on the darker side, but it quickly becomes clear that the restaurant is going for a stylish, modern vibe that fits right in with Tampa's downtown dining scene. The atmosphere feels lively and trendy without being over the top, making it a great spot for a night out. The menu is excellent and features several unique options that stand out from typical offerings. Service was attentive and friendly throughout the meal, and the martini selection is particularly impressive, with several great choices for anyone who enjoys a well-made cocktail. We started with a medley of appetizers, and they set the tone for the evening. The lamb pops were outstanding--tender, flavorful, and easily one of the highlights. The razor clams were also very good, and the calamari was nicely prepared as well. A couple of the dishes leaned a little on the salty side, but overall the food was very enjoyable. For my entrée, I ordered the Chicken Milanese, which is one of my personal favorites whenever I see it on a menu. Predalina does a very nice job with it--crispy, well-seasoned, and satisfying. Another standout dish at the table was the skirt steak, served with a flavorful chimichurri sauce that paired perfectly with the meat. The only item that didn't quite stand out was the Caesar salad, which felt a bit bland compared to the rest of the meal. Overall, Predalina offers a fun atmosphere, strong service, and a menu with several memorable dishes. It's a great addition to Tampa's downtown restaurant scene and definitely worth a visit. read more

Visited Predalina twice now late night for some bites and drinks. Drinks are on the pricier side and the late night menu only features fried foods which was a bummer. I was thinking I would be able to get a burger or something a little healthier and I was wrong. Food was heavy for the late night menu but I would go to give it a try for dinner next to see if it's worth the hype. I will say the new decor is beautiful and if you are looking for chill lounge like vibes this is def the place! read more

Came back to Predalina in December 2025 and found it had a totally new vibe! Much darker, moodier, cozier, and more eclectic which I'm a huge fan of. Their menu also got an update as well, this time with more of a focus on small plates, new dishes, and new cocktails. While they removed our favorite side (the carrots with labneh), they brought in some new delicious items! To drink, I started with the Limoncello Martini which was yummy with a great hint of vanilla. For apps, we went with the Zucchini Chips, Olives, and Classic Hummus, all of which were devoured (plus a second order of olives were made!). My only qualm was the size of the Zucchini Chips portion, which had gotten quite a bit smaller from the last time we visited, but the price remained the same ($17 for 9 zucchini chips is a bit crazy even for Tampa!). That whipped feta is divine though... At the table, both mains we ordered were amazing! The Blue Crab Chitarra remained on their menu and remained a crowd favorite. If you're not a fan of spice, I would skip this dish, but it's otherwise a universally-loved dish. We also had the Steak Frites which was a welcome addition to the menu. The hanger steak was super tender and the fries paired perfectly with that kalamata aioli. Definitely a dish I still dream about. The Haricot Verts side was small and forgettable (I even forgot we ordered it while writing this review until the end lol). We went for the Olive Oil Cake for dessert and we all loved it as well. Simple but elegant, and a great way to finish off the meal. Overall, really pleased with the changes Predalina made and it remains one of our top restaurants in Tampa for a special night out! read more

This review is for the original Predalina which I loved and their recent renovations will be brining me back very soon for an updated review. I chose this place for a birthday dinner and they were able to accommodate our party of 8 with ease. The service was great and the food was great as well. Our table ordered A LOT of different dishes and we were able to try a lot of the menu. Some of our favorite items were all of the crudos, crudité & pita and the potato stroma. All the drinks we ordered were also pretty good so their cocktail menu is pretty safe to order blindly. Can't say much more about the old Predalina since I'm sure things have changed, but I can't wait to bring the girls back and see the new place and try the new menu! read more

We choose this place for our anniversary dinner date . The ambience was spot on ! It gave those romantic serene vibes. The servers were very patient and explained the menu well. Whiskey based drinks were good, others I found but on sour side. The appetizers I think most loved by everyone is zucchini chips and they are indeed a hit! Had roasted pepper dip with chips was really good too. We went for the branzino which is slow cooked in salt crust was pretty fancy and tasty Desserts we went for the ice cream which 3 different flavored scoops Overall an evening spent well read more

Predalina has a great location, they are situated in the Cora building on Cumberland Ave. My daughter and I attended brunch after church. The esthetics they created in the inside is top tier, very chic and picturesque. We decided to sit outside since the weather was gorgeous in Tampa. Our server for brunch was very kind. No alcohol was served at this meal. We started with whipped feta. Secondly ordered (2) steak on the skewer and eggs, buttermilk pancakes. The steak was a bit dry since you have no option on how you want them cooked and eggs were good. The whipped feta was excellent and pancakes were good as well. I was on the fence about this. When this occurs I go again and try another time of day. I will go for dinner and revisit this review. read more

those zucchini chips are to die for. They are very pricey for the portion that you get, however, they are so good it is worth it. the whipped feta it comes with is a dream, the texture feels like coming home. That is what we will come back for. other than that our meals were very good, but they are so expensive that my expectations were simply met, not exceeded. it was very good however i did not find it worth the price nor good enough to justify it. also we were here for lunch so i'm sure the dinner prices are higher. Bathroom: 10/10 is a nice bathroom very pretty multiple individual rooms with beautiful decor and red color Parking: 2/10 this is downtown so you know what you're going to get. You have to park in the garage and walk. the garages are pretty expensive. expect to pay upwards of 10 dollars. or you could park in the whole foods parking lot and walk over if you stay under 2 hours read more

Predalina was such a nicely designed restaurant: me and my date sat at the bar and ordered old fashioneds. They were well made and delicious. I forget what this dish (pictured) was called but I do remember that it was very well flavored and I cleaned the plate. You can't tell by looking at it but it's some type of fish. It's located in a nice area but parking is scarce so be mindful of navigating the parking situation. The bartender was friendly. read more

A couple of nights ago was our first time at Predalina after their interior remodel, and it definitely did not disappoint. Our server, Julio, and the team took excellent care of us and made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. I really enjoyed the Lou Lou Cosmo, which was a fun and unexpected favorite, and the espresso martini was absolutely delicious. For dinner, we had the Branzino fillets with sides: roasted mushrooms and spinach ~ everything was perfectly prepared, but the roasted mushrooms deserve a special highlight. They were so, so good. We started with the charred cauliflower with macadamia nuts, and it was a fantastic appetizer. For dessert, the Phyllo Crunch was outstanding, especially with the 3 generous scoops of ice cream from Chill Bros, right next door. Highly recommend the dessert and everything mentioned above! What truly stood out was the attention to service. The manager, Lindsay, stopped by our table at the end of the night to make sure everything was to our satisfaction ~ and it absolutely was. We shared feedback about the beautiful new remodel and complimented the great service, which she was genuinely happy to hear. She mentioned that her goal is for Predalina to have the best service in Tampa, and based on our experience, they are well on their way. read more

Visited Predalina for my first time, FINALLY! And honestly, so worth the wait. We started with the crispy brussels (golden raisin, toasted almond, pomegranate molasses) and we were all amazed by this. Definitely in my top 3 brussels in the city now, up there with Haven and Sunda! It was special and unlike other brussels I've had. I looooved the sauce and raisins. For my main I got the 1899 keban (hearth roasted chicken, herb basmati, charred tomato, sumac onions, herb olive oil, tzatziki) and it was light, delicious, and flavorful. I really enjoyed it. My friends ordered the blue crab chitarra and the lamb pita. We didn't love the pasta but the pita was remarkable. The shredded lamb was so flavorful and there was a huge portion. The fries were also just how I like them! Overall, this is a beautiful restaurant. It's definitely pricy, but it's on Water Street so to be expected. We had a lovely dinner! read more

This might have been one of the best items of food I've ever tasted. My boyfriend and I went for a Valentine's Day dinner here with a curated menu and I can only describe it as a beautiful symphony of taste and smells. I was blown away , truly ( no hype) by all 4 courses. The first bite was a bruschetta with something fruity (like a jam of some sort) with a beautiful cheese and meat pairing. Then the waygu, fish, lamb chops even the olive oil cake. It was all beautiful. Also all the staff members were very friendly and good looking. I can't wait to actually come back here and try their regular menu. read more

This was a great unexpected stop while visiting Tampa. I did not know that they were Michelin star recognised when I visited, but now that I know, I am not surprised! Mediterranean inspired, modern, and elegant, this restaurant is located in Water Street. The establishment offers a lovely nature inspired dining room, two patios, and a very nice 360 bar area. The awesome happy hour bar specials are very popular amongst the patrons. We managed to snag two remaining seats in the bar after a couple left! I enjoyed a lemoncello spritz from the happy hour menu and ordered a burger, while my dining companion ordered the potato stroma. Wow oh wow! Both items were absolutely scrumptious. The burger was so moist and flavourful, perfect with the traditional melty American cheese. The potato stroma was also delicious and crispy, topped with a special Greek cheese. Potatoes are awesome in general, but this may be my new favourite preparation! These guys definitely know what they're doing! The bartender was on top of his patrons and knowledgeable of their various libations. Would love a return visit if I return to Tampa. Their various menus look fabulous. read more

From the moment I walked in, the aesthetic of the space really set the tone for the night. The design feels thoughtful and intentional, with stylish décor, warm lighting, and a layout that makes the room feel lively without being too loud. Every corner feels "photo-ready," which adds to the overall experience and makes it a fun place to linger, not just eat and leave. The food was a standout and matched the look and feel of the restaurant. Dishes were beautifully plated, well-seasoned, and balanced, with portions that felt satisfying without being heavy. You can tell there's attention to detail in the flavors and textures, from the appetizers all the way through dessert. The vibe is upbeat and social, but still comfortable enough for real conversation. It works just as well for date night as it does for a dinner with friends or a small celebration. Between the service, ambiance, the quality of the food, and the overall energy of the space, it's the kind of spot you leave already planning your next visit. read more

The food was really good overall. I do think the potato stroma are a bit overhyped, but they were still tasty. I'm not giving this place five stars because I asked for extra sauce and they didn't mention there would be an additional charge, but it still ended up on our bill.

Our first visit to Predalina was amazing! In lieu of main entrees, we wanted to try a bunch of smaller dishes and we left fully satisfied. Our favorite savory of the night was the pizzetta with pesto, burrata, and balsamic vinegar. The dough was light, pesto flavorful, balsamic vinegar brought a sweetness, and the burrata added creaminess. The potato stroma is like a leveled up hash brown--super crispy on the outside and a flavorful sauce on top. My least favorite was the zucchini, the breading didn't have a lot of flavor. That's the only thing I'd skip next time. Both of us decided that the basque cheesecake was the best dessert. I'm so glad Liz, our server, recommended it because it was delicious. It had cookie butter and biscoff crumbs for an extra pop of flavor. This tiramisu was a fun new take on the classic. I was pleasantly surprised here as well--I could just eat a jar of the mascarpone cream and dark chocolate ganache. I'd recommend the cheesecake though. read more

We visited the newly renovated predalina on a Monday evening and it was super busy! Very low moody lighting with brand new wall decor and modern light fixtures. The menu changed slightly (pictured). I chose a spirit free beverage the Gaia which was pleasant! We got plates to share for the table, the calamari was so tasty and we loved the whipped feta as well. For my meal I shared the Greek chicken pita which was sooooo flavorful and easy to share (two pitas). We were too full to try dessert but we'd like to go back! The only reason I give 4 stars is because it took a while for drinks and food to come out. Maybe they're still working out the kinks of a new rebrand. read more

Predalina feels like dining with the sea at your shoulder and the sun in your glass. Food: Each plate arrives like a postcard from the Mediterranean--delicate, vibrant, and full of story. The whipped tahini, the tender octopus, the handmade pastas--they don't shout, they sing. Every bite felt like a memory I hadn't made yet. Service: Graceful, like choreography you barely notice. Our server moved through the space with warmth and ease, guiding us through the menu like an old friend who just happens to know every flavor by heart. Ambiance: A soft breeze of coastal charm wrapped in modern elegance. Light plays on tile and glassware, laughter echoes gently, and time seems to pause just long enough for you to fall in love with where you are. Predalina isn't just a place to eat--it's a place to be and I already miss it! read more

All I can say is I was blown away by their renovations and reopening. This establishment came back with a vengeance and something to prove! I came every now and then before their renovations and enjoyed myself. However, their reopening definitely has sealed my deal as a new regular. Ther atmosphere, decor, vibes, and overall ambiance reminds me of a few other popping areas on water Street. They definitely have a unique vibe and aura since they've renovated. I'll definitely have to check out their nightlife, DJ, and reserve a section in the coming weeks. Their drink menu is definitely mouth watering. I enjoyed the predalina cosmo, and the lemoncello very much. Their food options have improved as well! The service was also great.
