Born from New York energy
& Caribbean soul.

Bello Bar + Kitchen is Downtown Tampa's answer to the question nobody was asking loud enough: why can't the best room in the city feel like New York and taste like the islands?

This is a kitchen where jerk spice shares a shelf with sofrito, where a Chopped Cheese sits next to Rasta Pasta, and where the bar program was built to hold a night — not just start one.

"Finally a late-night spot that doesn't feel like a club but hits harder than a bar. The Chopped Cheese alone is reason enough to go."
