Hungry for more Tampa flavor? You’re in luck. While our city is already replete with foodie options from the casual to the refined, there’s always room for more. Our city just needs to adjust its belt a bit.
Here are 3 foodie openings you need to keep on your radar this year and next.

Boozy Pig
This gourmet butchery and kitchen will feature local and ethically raised proteins. The concept itself runs in the owner, Anthony Tambuzzo’s, DNA. When he was younger, his grandfather, Nano Joe Tambuzzo would take him to Tip Top Grocery in Ybor City to make sausage.
Boozy Pig will be located at 3225 West Cypress Street. An opening timeline is still TBA, but the butchery could be open before the end of 2018. Follow them on Facebook for updates.
Sparkman Wharf
The cat is out of the proverbial bag on this one. Sparkman Wharf, a massive outdoor dining garden, biergarten and event space, is an integral part of the Water Street Tampa development. The grand opening at 615 Channelside Drive is set for November 30.
