Cena - Nowatney

Great food and cocktails. Service was excellent. Great date night spot. Most try the meatballs, truffle mushroom and bacon tagliolini and bread service. Will visit again.

One of the top Italian restaurants in all of Tampa tucked away here in Channelside. They have outdoor bar and tables which we love. The owner Michael Buttacavoli is an excellent chef (he beat Bobby Flay with an awesome looking meatball parm sub). Our go to spot for mid/high level dining in this area.

Really good place! And they have plenty of outdoor seating. Their gin drink was really good. The pasta was amazing. The server was lovely and gave great recommendations. The parking situation is great as well! Can?t to come back and try more of the pasta!
