Since owners Jeff Gigante and James Lanza opened Florida’s first Ciccio & Tony’s Restaurant in 1996, they have added five other culinary successes to their list: Ciccio’s Quick Cuisines, Water, Daily Eats, The Lime and Delicious Catering. Tampa’s original Ciccio & Tony’s Restaurant still sits at 1015 S. Howard Ave., and has become a SoHo neighborhood institution.  This hotspot continues to charm its trendy clientele with California cuisine served against a backdrop of cool blues with bright accents indoors, or on the airy patio outdoors. The front of the menu defines California Cuisine as “1- A blend of fresh only ingredients utilizing the flavors of Asia, Mediterranean and the Americas. 2- An emphasis on dairy-free, herb and citrus-infused food preparation. 3- Natural, flavorful, healthy food preparation. 4- A combination of flavors unfamiliar to the average restaurant-goer.”

Ciccio’s lives up to that definition with lunch and dinner items such as market-fresh sushi rolls, crisp vegetables and salads, delightful appetizers like lettuce wraps, seared tuna and crab cakes, savory entrees like thin-crust pizzas, rich meat and pasta creations, a variety of stirfrys, California Bowls and Fresh Wraps, served with a choice of dipping sauces, and more.  Enjoy a full meal, keep it light with appetizers, or just stop in to relax post-work or  pre-party cocktails, martinis or wine.
