St. Petersburg, FL has arguably had some of the most-anticipated new restaurants debut since the beginning of the year. From new food halls and Tiki Bars, to gelato spots and walk-up windows, here are some of the hottest new eateries in the St. Pete. Here are some of our favorites:
Brick & Mortar
is a Rustic-chic nook with seasonal, New American fare, unique wines & craft beers, fine and casual dining, plus outdoor seating.
Il Ritorno
is a rustic-industrial dinner spot with a daily changing menu of contemporary Italian fare located in St. Petersburg’s modern downtown on Central Avenue. Having an ever changing menu means having to source locally owned businesses to obtain the freshest ingredients.
Fresco’s Waterfront Bistro
on 2nd Avenue in downtown St Petersburg is the only waterfront restaurant in this area. This restaurant highlights its open, airy and large veranda to its fullest. The veranda with string lighting overhead and on the railing, ceiling and deck fans, and views of the Bay and of bustling downtown St Petersburg creates a picture-perfect memory for a romantic dinner.
