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.

    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.

    Tonight was my 40th dinner at Sacred Pepper in the last 7 months and it was just PERFECT as all the others have been. After enjoying a glass of one of their fine wines, I started with the Buffalo Cauliflower which is fresh-fried cauliflower bites topped with Sriracha aioli and served with cool-herbed ranch dressing, house-made pickled cucumbers. And plenty to share. For my entrée I had the Blackened Tenderloin Steak Bites with crispy polenta, herb horseradish sauce, and house-made marinara sauce. I added 2 sides, the vegetable medley and the Fresh Tillamook Cheddar Creamed Corn w/Applewood bacon. It was all cooked perfectly and very flavorful and delicious, a true favorite of mine. The service staff at Sacred Pepper is the BEST around and all are very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. And my regular server “Adam” is the best server I have ever had, and he always makes sure my dinner experiences are very special and memorable! Sacred Pepper is my favorite restaurant in the Tampa Area.

    From top to bottom the service, food , ambiance and music were tip top. I couldn’t have asked for much more. Everything was delicious as can be our waitress was fantastic and very informative. I had the pork chop and it was game changing. I will be back plenty of more times, and will recommend anyone in ear shot distance to give this place a try!

    We had lobster and steak. Both were wonderful. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the lobster was meaty and delicious. Mac and cheese and Brussels sprouts were also great. The butter cake was just okay at the end.

    Had a really good meal. The special was the branzino. The fish was delicious. We've never had a bad meal at the beautiful Sacred Pepper.

    The food was incredibly delicious. Tried the sacred meatballs and I recommend them. The entrees were perfect and the chocolate cake was as well. The ambience was amazing.
