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.

Sacred Pepper offers a delightful dining experience with "exceptional food, service, and atmosphere." Guests consistently praise the "beautiful decor" and "comfortable dining room chairs." The restaurant is perfect for special occasions, with standout dishes like the Sea Bass and Grouper Piccata. While live music adds charm, some find it "too loud" for conversation.

    Very nice place, I love that restaurant, very elegant and good food, the waitress service was spectacular, but The only thing to note ,is that when there are large groups, they should not be placed in tight areas because ,the dishes can hardly be on the table and ,one is very uncomfortable stuck together and ,can hardly move, and without important dates, you hear the client. It is a constructive comment, not a destructive one.Thank you for your service

    For tonight's dinner I started with the Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower (fresh-fried cauliflower bites topped with Sriracha aioli and served with cool-herbed ranch dressing, house-made pickled cucumbers) and it was fantastic. For my dinner I had the Pan Seared Grouper Picatta with capers, lemon butter, warm house-made orzo pasta, grilled asparagus and it was delicious/flavorful and one of my favorites. My regular server "Adam" was exceptional, as always, and he is consistently friendly, attentive, patient, accommodating, efficient, and he has made so many wonderful recommendations to me that have all awakened my taste buds. Sacred Pepper is an excellent choice for the ambiance, awesome wine/drink selections, amazing and delicious food selections, soothing after dinner drinks, and mouthwatering desserts. And the service staff are all so friendly and welcoming. it's a "WIN" for me every single time I eat there!

    Parking was problematic in a strip mall, but a short walk wasn't an issue. Greeted and Seated with a reservation right on time. Took about ten minutes for the server to show, but he was professional, a bit transactional and not overly personable. Drinks took a bit to show up and were good; appetizer was on point (oysters Rockefeller) Two pasta dishes, one with great flavor, the other was okay. Pasta was over done with both. Dessert of killer chocolate cake was from frozen, not freshly made, tasted alright. Price was surprisingly reasonable. All told it was a fine night out, but there are better places to celebrate a birthday in the Tampa area.
