Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Ybor City

Best Italian food in the Tampa Bay Area period. From Pasta, Pinsa to the Vino everything is absolutely fantastic.

We had high expectations after having dined at a sister restaurant (Rooster &the Till), and Ash exceeded our expectations. The rabbit and artichoke hearts were so wonderfully flavorful. A great night out.

First time here. Great food. Good service. It is an Italian restaurant but it isn’t the “same average Italain food” they have interesting and unique dishes. The salad is small. It is a small appetizer. The ravioli dishes come with 5 big raviolis. Generous gnocchi dish. The duck over risotto was a very good size. Cocktail was made nicely. It took while to order. Drink order. Brought the wine. Waitress made the cocktails and delivered them. Then, brought the bread. Then, went away and came back and told us the specials. Then, came back to take out orders. But this is my only compliant, and would not deter me from returning. Did not have dessert. The restaurant is not quiet. It on the louder side. I think it is the layout. Still a great meal and you can hear people at your table.

This intimate restaurant above busy Central Avenue was an awesome night out. A terrific wine list, house made pastas, and delicious desserts made for a wonderful meal with my friend. I highly recommend the the Lamb Sugo. The waiter recommended a Tempranillo wine for me that I ended up loving. What a great spot in downtown St Pete. Make reservations because it is small and fills up quick, with all the local wine aficionados hanging out at the bar.

They have always been able to accommodate for last minute changes like adding more people. Makes it my go to spot for groups over ten
