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.

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.

Salt Shack

This restaurant promises to be a rustic-refined beach getaway. We’re always up for an escape to paradise while we dine. There will be ample seafood on the menu, and you’re favorite beach-themed cocktails.
