Combining flavor, culture, passion, and ingenuity. Pelagia Trattoria FL offers a full dining restaurant seating 152 guests -- 90 inside -- in a space designed to emanate a sense of intimacy and luxury not found at other restaurants in Tampa FL.
Since opening more than five years ago, Pelagia Trattoria has attained a reputation for quality, creativity and using only the freshest, seasonal ingredients available, all while under the watchful eye of Executive Chef Fabrizio Schenardi.
Pelagia has also adhered to the same principles and practices that define the worldwide food philosophy known as the slow food movement.
Slow food represents an alternative to fast, overly processed foods. It advocates the use of clean, sustainable produce, seafood and livestock, particularly those produced locally with minimal impact on the environment. It is based on a philosophy that food should be enjoyed in a way that lets you savor the flavors.
By exclusively serving freshly prepared, made-to-order dishes, Pelagia provides guest with a relaxing and rewarding dining experience that is tasteful and healthful.
Diners are becoming increasingly more aware about the entire eating experience. They want to know where food comes from. They care about freshness and taste. And they are concerned about how their food choices impact the world.
Overly processed or pre-cooked foods have no place at Pelagia. Our chefs truly take the time to cook from scratch, not just heat something up.
Join us in support of this movement and allow yourself the dining experience you deserve to enjoy.
