Predalina

First time dining at Predalina, which we picked for the Mediterranean vibe and to celebrate a friends birthday. Restaurant was moderately busy for a Sunday night, we had a reservation, only waited about 5 minutes to be seated. Great atmosphere, beautiful intimate setting. Nice bar area as well. The service was average, but bar options were challenging. They were out of basic common wines and limited on bourbon and mojito options. For such a nice restaurant and bar, very surprising. Overall the food was good, some dishes were average. The razor clams and bruschetta were great along with the crab pasta. The phyllo with ice cream dessert was very nice, which they provided for the birthday celebration. I would return for the atmosphere and to try something different. Hopefully there will be more bar availability.

Talk about an incredible meal! I went last week with my dad and husband. We each got a drink, got the chicken and beef skewers, and the cauliflower. We split the haricot verts, potatos, and the branzino and it was all to die for. I think I went to heaven when I tasted the beef skewers. I'll be dreaming about them for a while! The portions were a bit small for American restaurant standard, but we were happily full after our meal (no leftovers). We also indulged in the ice cream dessert with a thin phyllo covering. All delicious! Our waiter was also a 5 star individual; I wish I remembered his name (seen in picture), but he made the experience a delight. He was funny, had great suggestions, and was extremely polite. Will definitely return next time I am in Tampa! (Recommend eating inside, as it was a little windy outside in Jan).

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.

Predalina Restaurant in Channel Side very close to Sparkman Wharf in Tampa Florida is an absolute gem in this city!! We chose this restaurant to celebrate my daughter’s UTampa graduation day straight after the early morning ceremony. Our reservation was for 11:45am, we were seated outside as planned and it was a lovely early May Day with gorgeous weather on that particular day and time. We had a lovely brunch enjoyed the beautiful ambience of this particular place and it was just perfect. My daughter was very happy with her graduation brunch, it was memorable and felt perfect for her occasion. Everyone raved about their selections. They accommodated my mom’s appetite which was simply a bagel with their chive cream cheese and a fruit bowl which made her day. This restaurant has a Mediterranean vibe but really it has roots from Portugal specifically northern Portugal Porto(My husbands was born in northern Portugal and we are huge fans of the Porto soccer team) and also the family generations apparently have roots in Providence Rhode Island where were are from so this restaurant was chosen for multiple reasons not to mention they have a Michelin Star. The prices for brunch were reasonable considering how amazing this place is and the quality of the food goes right along with it. Our server, Spencer, was so kind and attentive very professional and accommodating. Absolutely lovely experience!!!!!!!!!

I love the revamped Predalina. Have been here twice now. Once at the bar, it was a pretty busy Friday night and service was a bit slow but the bartender was sweet and I could tell she was very busy. Had a few skewers and small bites which were really good. Highly recommend the fried potato stacks & mushroom skewers. I hadn't had alcohol in a long time but had a couple cocktails there and it was much better than the previous times I had been there which is a plus now that I'm not on an alcohol sabbatical lol. Went there for brunch recently and I absolutely love the new decor. We were celebrating a friend's birthday/ galentines brunch but service was incredibly off. The waiter was shakey and couldn't remember a lot of things. He definitely was having an "off" day but for this restaurant it was not a good representation. I had the predalina classic and it was ok. Nothing spectacular but also not terrible. So it was just neutral for me on brunch. I'd probably come back to try a full dinner next time but if it's not great, I'd probably just stick to the bar small bites & cocktails if I'm in the area.
