Food. Flavors. People. Style.

Inspired by her flavorful travels, Candy DeBartolo set out to bring something different to North Tampa’s food scene: a dining destination where everything that happens around the table is considered sacred—a place where every detail matters. Together with her team of passionate experts, she opened Sacred Pepper to provide the community with new twists on classic favorites in an inviting atmosphere. Locally sourced ingredients and made-from-scratch pastas and sauces highlight a Contemporary American menu with dashes of Mediterranean flair. Cocktails are inspired by cultures from around the world as well as modern, traditional, and pre-prohibition tastes.

    For dinner tonight I had The Deluxe Mixed Grill (oak-grilled 8oz. Certified Hereford Angus sirloin steak topped with 6 seared shrimp and cabernet demi-glace, Yukon mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus) and it was "SUPERB" and a great value. I also had a side of their delicious Brussels Sprouts which are plenty to share. Sacred Pepper has the best food, drinks, ambiance and service in the Tampa area!

    A fabulous and creative menu. Nice wine list! Delicious homemade pasta. Dominic was a thoughtful server and gave us time to chat and decide what to order next. I can’t wait to return to the Sacred Pepper on my next trip to Tampa.

    What an amazing dinner experience tonight at Sacred Pepper. I let my "exceptional" server Adam pick out my wine and he amazes me with his wonderful choices that never disappoint. I started with the Crab & Corn Chowder which warms my soul every time My entree tonight was the Branzino fish special, and it exceeded my expectations. The crispy roasted potatoes that came with it were flavorful and a delight. I always have an enjoyable and memorable dining experience here at Sacred Pepper and with the incredible service staff that are always so friendly, attentive, and welcoming, it's no wonder it's my favorite restaurant in all of Tampa Bay!!

    We dined on a Tuesday. We had a wonderful evening celebrating a birthday. The staff was attentive, the food was outstanding. We enjoyed the oysters, the pistachio crossed fried brie and split the Mixed Grill entree. My only comment would be that the waiter brought a dessert menu without mentioning they were bringing a birthday dessert from the kitchen. So we ordered the bread pudding and then also received a small celebratory molten lava cake. So, we were stuffed. But everything was wonderful.

    Everything was absolutely delicious. Service was excellent (our server, Hope, was great—personable and efficient). Our food was brought at a good pace. Never waiting for long, but also didn’t feel rushed. We were brought a wonderful dessert to celebrate our anniversary, and made to feel special. Will definitely be back, as well as share our wonderful experience with others.
