Best restaurants in St. Pete
UP-SCALE DINING
Looking for the best meal, drinks and atmosphere? These are my recommendations.
Il Ritorno
Italian Restaurant run by chef and owner David Benstock (Who won against Bobby Flay on Beat Bobby Flay). A staple of St. Pete, and located on Central Avenue - where you will have a consistently unbelievable meal. If you sit inside you can have a direct view into the kitchen while you watch each chef and sous work their magic.
Fortu
Pan-Asian fusion cuisine with an Izakaya-style menu. This restaurant is one of the most coveted in the city and you will be taken on a journey of culinary delights, exciting cocktails, and rich design paired with refined service.
1200 Chophouse
This steakhouse is a must-try! Located on St. Pete Beach, this restaurant does not take reservations so be prepared to grab a cocktail and wait - but trust me, it's worth it.
DINING
Looking to eat well but not break the bank? I've got you covered.
Wanna watch the sunset while you eat? Look no further. Seaworthy is one of the best kept secrets on the beach. If you're looking for fresh seafood, amazing cocktails and the best donut bread pudding of your life, you need to try this one!
Beau & Mo's
A Chicago-style chophouse with sass. You can expect a fabulous steak with delicious sides and all the wine you could ask for at Beau & Mo's. My personal rec is "The Investor" by Stags' Leap.
Inspired American cuisine! This place never disappoints and the menu is always changing, so you'll never have the same thing twice!
