About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Romantic
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.

    Always a great experience. The live music further adds to the ambiance that it offers. It’s unlike most establishments in my area with attentive service coupled with excellent food. Not to mention, the most comfortable table chairs in Tampa Bay. That alone offers so much value.

    Food came out 2x incorrectly. Finally gave up after my guests ate their food and I was still waiting for the new dish to arrive. Was also yelled at by hostess in parking lot where you park for pick up. 10 spots there with no one using them. Told to move my car. When I left 6 spots were raked to park with no one in them so they were at the restaurant and not picking up. Overall disappointing and unprofessional experience.
