Made-to-order gourmet pasta dishes
Semolina’s menu will offer a wide selection of made-to-order signature pasta dishes, as well as freshly-baked breads, salads, wines by the glass and a variety of local beers, according to a release.
The dishes here will be crafted with high quality ingredients, inspired by the sidewalk cafes of old-time Italian eateries.
Semolina’s design by Tampa-based architecture firm OWA offers easy walk-up counter service, giving guests the option to enjoy a full dine-in experience, or a grab-and-go gourmet meal.
