Available Spaces

Wine Room

Our Wine Room is an intimate, semi-private space ideal for seated dinners and small gatherings of up to 10 guests. Nestled toward the front of the restaurant, it features open entryways on both sides and is surrounded by walls lined with Italian wine bottles—offering a warm, atmospheric backdrop that celebrates the heart of our concept. While not enclosed by doors, the space maintains a sense of exclusivity and connection, making it a unique setting for celebrations, client dinners, or special occasions.

Che Vita Patio

The Che Vita Patio offers a charming, open-air setting tucked just below William F. Poe Plaza—bringing a sense of retreat in the heart of downtown Tampa. With direct sidewalk access and a layout that accommodates up to 30 guests for seated dining or 50 for standing receptions, the space is ideal for casual gatherings, cocktail-style events, or intimate celebrations. While not fully private, the slightly recessed location provides a natural sense of separation from the surrounding area. The patio features outdoor bistro lighting, umbrellas for shade, lush greenery, and a mix of existing lounge and dining furniture—along with the option to incorporate high-top tables for a customized setup that captures the relaxed elegance of Southern Italy.

Featuring round tables with comfortable seating, or the option of having a boardroom/family style table, our Hyde Park room can be easily arranged as a sit-down banquet or reception-style space to suit your needs. Soft lighting and tasteful decor create a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Guests also have the option to extend their event outdoors, with access to a charming patio area, ideal for mingling or enjoying fresh air. A built-in TV is available for presentations or entertainment, and the room includes convenient amenities such as a refreshment station and ample space for buffet setups or beverage service.

Whether you’re planning a formal banquet, a casual reception, or a hybrid event, this private room provides a stylish and functional backdrop to make your occasion memorable.
