If you are anywhere near the downtown area of Tampa, Florida and you are looking for an italian place to dine and chill out, make sure to drop by FarmTable Cucina. This restaurant offers one of my favorite styles of dining, It’s casual, family-style with sharing plates and authentic dishes that combine the highest quality ingredients to bring flavor to every bite.
The Italian-inspired style of dining is who FarmTable was always meant to be. It’s been an evolution and now we can celebrate and enjoy what it has become.

Favorite dishes include house-made pastas, pizzas and fresh breads. The full bar offers handcrafted cocktails, craft beer and wines by the glass.
FarmTable Kitchen began as a small-plate beer-and-wine-only bar, no reservations, then added a ticketed prix-fixe, multi-course tasting menu, dining room. St. Petersburg residents pushed back — they wanted a full menu, reservations, a full bar. Mina and partner Don Pintabona obliged.
This restaurant is located in the downtown St. Petersburg area, just a few blocks from Beach Drive and inside a newer outdoor mall. The downstairs area of the space is dedicated to a market. From the second you enter you encounter delicious looking food and tremendous smells. The restaurant itself is located above the market and it is a very modern and chic space.
The decor makes it feel like you are located inside a working industrial kitchen. From the second you enter you encounter delicious looking food and tremendous smells. In addition to a standard sandwich station and meat counter, the store area had a poke station, ramen bar, and a dozen other hot food areas. It is hard not to get a least a little excited after seeing that.
So if you are planning to visit Tampa,Florida and you are within visiting distance make sure to drop by this place and don`t forget to taste their duck fat fries and their burger, I heard it was to die for especially for those who love fries.
