Amazing food and service! I loved that it was on the water as well, definitely recommend!read more

Went here for a friend's birthday. This restaurant has a Mediterranean flair and it was absolutely…read morestunning inside and out we opted for the outdoor seating. The weather was great, so it was nice to be sitting outside and enjoying each other's company. Our server Frankie was super nice and explained every cocktail with detail as well as the entrées. He shared some of the popular entrées as well as his favorite. I had the limoncello martini, which was absolutely delicious. The lemon and vanilla had the perfect pairing flavor that made for a refreshing drink. And then I had the chicken Milanese for an entree. The chicken was nice and crispy and the flavors were just well put together. The highlight of the dish with the tahini sauce, which was a nice twist. At the end of the dinner, he surprised our friend with olive oil cake, which was so delicious. Recently, I have tried olive cake and it has definitely been a nice different treat instead of the usual dessert offerings. Would love to return soon when visiting Tampa again!

Tried Predalina for the first time and wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised…read more First off, the remodel is absolutely stunning. The lighting, décor, and green accent colors create such an elevated atmosphere while still feeling inviting. We started with the fries and hummus. The aioli served with the fries was delicious and definitely the highlight of the appetizers. The hummus wasn't bad, but I've had better. For my entrée, I ordered the salmon, which came with toasted orzo, tomato, spinach, olives, feta, pine nuts, and tzatziki. The portion size was generous, and the orzo was packed with creamy flavor without feeling too heavy. The tzatziki added a nice freshness to the dish. My only complaint was that the overall dish was just a little saltier than I would have preferred. Lastly, our server, Mariela, was fantastic. She handled our party of 10 incredibly well and was warm, friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, I was very pleased with our dining experience and am looking forward to coming back!

From the moment we sat down, it was clear why ROCCA has earned a Michelin star. Every dish…read moreshowcased outstanding technique, impeccable ingredients, and thoughtful execution. We started with the signature mozzarella cart, which was an experience in itself. The freshness and quality of the cheese, heirloom tomatoes and basil were remarkable, and it set the tone for the rest of the evening. The house bread with the lemon butter was delicious and impossible to stop eating. The tagliolini al ragù was perfectly balanced, with fresh pasta cooked to the ideal texture and a rich, deeply developed sauce that never felt heavy. The tortello all'uovo was exquisite--silky pasta surrounding a luscious, perfectly cooked egg yolk, creating an incredibly luxurious bite. The branzino alla Ligure was flawlessly prepared. The fish was delicate, moist, and beautifully seasoned, allowing the natural flavors to shine while the accompaniments complemented it without overpowering the dish. Every cocktail was equally well crafted and complemented the meal beautifully. What truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service. The staff was exceptionally attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm without ever feeling intrusive. Every detail was anticipated, each course was timed perfectly, and the team demonstrated the level of hospitality you expect from a world-class dining destination. What impressed me most was the consistency. Every plate arrived beautifully presented, perfectly cooked, and thoughtfully seasoned. The attention to detail, precision, and respect for each ingredient made every course memorable. ROCCA delivers the kind of dining experience that reminds you why Michelin-starred restaurants are so special. From the flawless execution in the kitchen to the impeccable hospitality in the dining room, every aspect of the evening exceeded expectations. If you appreciate authentic Italian cuisine executed at the highest level, ROCCA is an absolute must-visit in Tampa. I can't wait to return and experience more of this exceptional menu.

The Bluefin Tuna Crudo was so fresh you couldn't tell it was fish. Excellent blend of flavors. Agnolotti pasta was a Fav. It is spicy but delicious.

**Tampa Bay's New Espresso Martini Champion!!**…read more Wow, I came here once for a yelp event like a year ago, and never once returned. I walk past here on the time on my way to Yard House and thought I'd finally stop in again and try some cocktails and food. Whoops, jokes on me for waiting this long to come back. The Edition Hotel next door used to have the best espresso martinis, but they've since changed their ingredients and in general the cocktails over there have tanked. Boulon still makes great cocktails, but hello we have a new challenger at Ash. I loved the espresso martini here. Flavor, espresso, cocoa powder all spot on. Plus it's only $17. A lot cheaper than most of the other bars around here. I also had a $19 Let me be clear. For whatever reason, only Santos Kitchen down the street knows how to make a fabulous mezcal drink. I also had a $25 Tonnarelli. OMG! When pesto is done right it's always my favorite sauce for pasta. This dish was freaking phenomenal. I might go back tomorrow and have another one. Super impressed both times I've been here. Not sure why I haven't ever kept this spot in the rotation, but I need to.

We had such a fantastic dining experience at Ash last night that I felt compelled to leave a…read morereview. From start to finish, everything was exceptional and our server Jill absolutely made the evening. Jill spent so much time with us, thoughtfully walking us through the menu and helping us choose dishes based on what we actually like. She explained that the servers "tag team" tables at Ash; if one server is tied up at a table, another jumps in to check on guests so no one feels forgotten. Such a smart system, and you could really feel the level of hospitality. Jill's recommendations were spot on. We are not big bread people and honestly don't even usually like focaccia, but she insisted we order the focaccia with whipped ricotta and herb oil. I'm still thinking about it. Calling it focaccia almost feels inaccurate; it was unlike any bread I've ever had. More like a piece of heaven. We started with the hamachi, which had the perfect amount of spice -flavorful and fresh without being overpowering. For dinner, we ordered the chicken cutlets and two pasta dishes: the strozzapreti with wagyu beef cheek and hazelnuts, and the mafalde with black truffle, miso, and cacio e pepe. Both pastas were incredible: rich in flavor but still delicate and not overly heavy or filling. Just perfect. We also tried the "perfect skinny margarita," and the name fits: not too sweet, not too tart, just really balanced and delicious. And because we are serious dessert people, we couldn't leave without trying dessert. The marzipan sundae and namelaka absolutely delivered. We don't indulge often, but this meal was 100% worth the calories. If you haven't booked Ash yet, highly recommend. Exceptional food, incredible service, and a dining experience that actually lives up to the hype.
