2BHospitality is bringing a fresh wave of flavor to Land O’ Lakes with the upcoming launch of BellaBrava Bexley, set to open its doors in December 2023. This culinary hotspot marks the third installment of the beloved BellaBrava restaurant line-up. Nestled in a sprawling 8,200-square foot space at 16722 Focus Loop, Land O’ Lakes, Florida 34638, it’s poised to be a one-of-a-kind dining destination.

BellaBrava has been a hit in St. Pete for over a decade, and most recently made a splash in the ever-evolving Midtown Tampa.

“We are excited to be growing in North Tampa,” said Thomas Sanborn, President of 2BHospitality. “This expansion into Land O’Lakes with BellaBrava is just the beginning of our larger plans to bring traditional Tuscan flavors and delicious cuisine to an even wider audience.”

A few unique menu options include buying a round of beers for the kitchen staff as a way to thank them. Another option is an unseasoned burger patty specifically for the four-legged member of the family. And with each burger patty purchased, BellaBrava donates $2 to Southeastern Guide Dogs, an organization that provides professionally trained guide dogs to the blind, free of charge.

The eatery, which first launched in 2014, focuses on American Scratch cooking while working with local ingredients to deliver a modern interpretation of classic American dishes such as fried green tomatoes and more.
