About the restaurant

We are Allelo.

Our name comes from the word allelomimesis which is the phenomenon of a group, such as birds, coming together to form a flock.The idea of gathering is echoed throughout our menu where items are meant for sharing with friends.

Our dining room here at Allelo is very intimate with the majority of our tables being smaller than five guests. Please note that if your party is larger than 6 people, you will most likely be outside.
All outside tables have heaters and blankets available, but please dress warmly as nighttime temperatures can change suddenly.

$25 corkage per 750ml. We have a three bottle limit per table. We do have an extensive wine list with over 500 bottles of wine to choose from. Also, our in-house sommelier would love to make a recommendation for your table.

About the restaurant

BellaBrava New World Trattoria was born in 2005 in Downtown Saint Petersburg. Over the years since, BellaBrava has been voted Best Restaurant in Saint Petersburg, Best Italian, and is a perennial Guest favorite on Beach Drive.

Less formal than a ristorante, our service is casual, our prices remain reasonable and our emphasis is on a steady clientele rather than haute cuisine. Old World flavors mingle with New World flair. From seafood to traditional pasta, pizzas, and more, we are positive everyone will find something delicious to savor.

BellaBrava’s unique Woodstone™ ovens cook delicious pizzas and a guest favorite, the Crostata.

Our ingredients are fresh, often locally sourced, and evoke the flavors of Tuscany and other delicious cuisines from Italy. With friendly, competent staff, BellaBrava aims to be your casual dining spot.

London was a fantastic server, we needed an early lunch reservation due to a meeting, and this worked out perfectly. The Ahi Tuna with mango salsa and rice, and the cold lobster roll were absolutely fantastic. I normally don’t finish a complete meal, but this was so good. I couldn’t stop. Highly recommend eating here!

Most friendly, professional and accommodating staff and the stunning locale and vistas of the Mahaffey plus great dining. As yearly visitors who always catch an event at the theater this is icing on the cake to enjoy dinner here before the show.

St. Pete Beach

About the restaurant

Spinners Rooftop Grille is intimate dining and sophisticated indulgence at its best. Experience the panoramic view as the restaurant slowly revolves 360 degrees.

*Due to the movement of the restaurant floor, and the desired intimacy of the restaurant, we cannot accommodate any parties larger than 8*

Located in the Bellwether Hotel, the seafood-inspired concept mimics the beach vibes of its surroundings. Located on the 12th floor of the hotel, every table has a view!! A draw to both resort guests and locals alike, Spinners will build upon its reputation through elevated cuisine at the top of one of St. Pete’s most iconic buildings.

We had a great time at the Spinners Rooftop Grille, their special catch of the day snapper with crab cake was delicious and good size portion. The tuna tartare was great too. Drinks were okay. It was fun watching the restaurant spinning while dining. Would recommend for special occasions.
