Amazing food. Definitely worth going for the gnocchi alone. We had the Burrata, stuffed mushroom, parm to table, focaccia, gnocchi and tiramisu - everything was phenomenal. The service was excellent. The noise level was a bit loud but might have just been where are table was.

Haven in South Tampa delivers an exceptional dining experience with creative and flavorful dishes. The Cheese Monger board and Brussels sprouts salad were standout favorites for me, showcasing bold, balanced flavors. My husband couldn’t stop raving about the perfectly cooked 24oz bone-in steak and the fresh, vibrant Brussels sprouts salad. With impeccable service and a cozy (albeit loud) atmosphere, Haven is a must-visit for anyone craving elevated American cuisine.
