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.

    The food and service was good. My only complaint was the way our leftovers were boxed up. He should've put me and my husband's scraps in two different boxes vs dumping it all together in one box. I don't eat off anyone's plate like that after they've eaten their food, including my husband & kids. I need my scraps in my own box. Other than that, no complaints.

    Usually this is one of our favorite dining spots. The temperature was very cold and uncomfortable in the restaurant. The majority of people were complaining about how cold it was, and you could that people were not taking their coats off. In fact, they were hugging themselves to get warmer. I mentioned it to my server, and she said the staff were standing under the heaters to stay warm. My husband loved his pork chop. I ordered the spinach papperdelle with lobster. The pasta and sauce were delicious; however, the pieces of lobster were very tough and chewy.

    Our group of five adults experienced for the first time that live music, started about half way through our meal, was drowning out any conversation at the table. the waitress, Danielle, managed to lower the noise somewhat but it remained a nuisance. Food and service were, as on previous occasions, excellent.

    I was WOWED last night by the tasteful Holiday decorations at Sacred Pepper which make the ambiance there that much more spectacular. I always start my dinner with one of their excellent choices of fine wine and it puts me in a great mood to enjoy another fantastic dinner. I had the Pork Chop dinner with the pear chutney and fiocchi pasta with butter sage sauce and it was delicious. I added a side pasta dish with a choice of sauce and it was filling and full of flavor. The service staff is exceptional and the best of all the restaurants I have been to in the Tampa area. They are all so friendly, welcoming, attentive, and they work so well together to make sure you have a memorable dining experience.

    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
