Food. Flavors. People. Style.

Inspired by her flavorful travels, Candy DeBartolo set out to bring something different to North Tampa’s food scene: a dining destination where everything that happens around the table is considered sacred—a place where every detail matters. Together with her team of passionate experts, she opened Sacred Pepper to provide the community with new twists on classic favorites in an inviting atmosphere. Locally sourced ingredients and made-from-scratch pastas and sauces highlight a Contemporary American menu with dashes of Mediterranean flair. Cocktails are inspired by cultures from around the world as well as modern, traditional, and pre-prohibition tastes.

    Chicken on Sunday special for 2 was overcooked. Like it was prepared ahead of time and left to warm for hours.

    Last night was my 28th dinner at Sacred Pepper since July. I have never had a bad experience yet and why I keep coming back. It’s my favorite restaurant in the Tampa area. The best place for awesome selections of wine/cocktails, shareable plates, dinner entrees, after dinner drinks, and some delicious desserts. And everything is “That Good”. Last night I let my regular server “Adam” pick out my wine and my dinner entrée since he always makes excellent recommendations to me. The wine choice was phenomenal and Sacred Pepper has an awesome selection of wines to choose from. He then brought me the Caramelized Brussels Sprouts w/Applewood bacon & a balsamic glaze that are so good and plenty to share. For my dinner entrée, he chose the Cod dinner which came with sliced cheesy potatoes and green beans. It was very filling and flavorful and my new favorite. Thank You “Adam” for making all my dinners at Sacred Pepper so enjoyable and memorable. Servers are a dime a dozen, but great servers are rare, and you are the “Best”. Sacred Pepper does have an exceptional service staff, and all are very friendly, efficient, attentive, knowledgeable, and very welcoming.

    Have been wanting to try Sacred Pepper for awhile and wish we never went. It was horrible. The room to the right where we sat was extremely loud and freezing cold. The food is awful, zero flavor on anything. The meatballs were bland and way too dense. Shishito Peppers just tasted like whatever oil they were fried in, no salt or other seasoning and the dipping sauce was watery and added no value to the dish. Chicken and Fish also had zero flavor. The veggies were lukewarm and the white rice was almost cold. We were going to get desert before we came but barely ate a quarter of our meals and just wanted to leave. We had to go somewhere else to eat after. Overpriced and Awful.
