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.

    Excellent wine selections, and a very delicious and flavorful menu of shareable plates and entrees. , Sacred pepper has a very friendly and attentive service staff that will make you feel very welcomed and make your dining experience very enjoyable! My regular server "Adam" is the "Best" around and he goes that "extra mile" for you. He always make great recommendations that never fail and his added special touches here and there are delightful. After 59 "awesome" dinners at Scared Pepper in the last 10 months it is still my favorite place for something more than just a dinner and it's always a memorable dining experience!

    Waiter was not very helpful & did not have good things to say about food choices. Dessert was extremely dry & had to be sent back. Disappointed.

    The food and service are top notch. We have always been very pleased with anything that we have ordered, for example, the calamari is the best that we have had anywhere and the steaks are done to perfection. The fish and seafood entrees are excellent. The restaurant is quite popular, and reservations are recommended.

    I had dinner last night at Sacred Pepper during their “Girls Night Out” event that is every Thursday from 6pm – 10pm. They have special prices on Sacred Cocktails ($7.50) and select wines ($6). They have shareable plates ($13.50), and I had their “Signature” meatballs that are handmade with veal and pork fresh ricotta, and house-made marinara sauce. They also have pizzettes ($17.90), and I had the Sausage & Roasted Mushrooms with ricotta cheese, Peppadew sweet peppers, olive oil and fresh basil. Both shareable plates were very “Delicious & Flavorful” and plenty to share. They also have live music during “Girls Night Out” and it was enjoyable. What a great evening to mingle with friends/family in the bar area. This was all recommended to me by my “Excellent” server Adam who consistently turns my dinners into a very memorable and enjoyable “Dining Experience”. He gets my vote for the “Best” server in the Tampa Bay area.
