***SELLER FINANCING AVAILABLE WITH $550,000 DOWN***

RARE OPPORTUNITY to acquire a HIGHLY ACCLAIMED and long ESTABLISHED Italian restaurant offering a charming and authentic dining experience with fantastic food, exceptional service, and a loyal local following. This award-winning concept has earned multiple “Best of the Best” recognitions from the Tampa Bay Times along with several prestigious diners’ choice awards, helping establish a POWERFUL BRAND presence and strong brand recognition throughout the community. Guests consistently rave about the homemade pasta, attentive staff, cozy atmosphere, and welcoming hospitality that keeps customers returning for special occasions and regular dining alike. The restaurant enjoys a STRONG LOCAL REPUTATION backed by OUTSTANDING online reviews, THOUSANDS of digital impressions, and a loyal customer base that does not rely on tourist traffic.

The business operates ONLY DINNER HOURS, FIVE DAYS per week, and is run in a SEMI-ABSENTEE manner with experienced staff handling the day-to-day operations while ownership works only approximately 3–4 days per week primarily overseeing payroll and wine pairings. The approximately 2,500 sq. ft. restaurant features indoor and outdoor seating for approximately 90 guests, a fully equipped commercial kitchen, attractive and well-maintained dining and bar areas, and recent capital improvements including upgraded equipment. LONG-TERM LEASE lease in place with rent including garbage service. Beer and wine license included.

There remains TREMENDOUS upside potential for a more hands-on operator through expanding lunch service, increasing catering and private events, corporate functions, and additional marketing initiatives, as the current owners do not actively pursue these revenue streams. Ownership also closes approximately one week annually for vacation and remains closed on major holidays, creating even more opportunity for expanded revenue. 2023 Gross Revenue $850,000+ with an owner benefit of approx $215,0000, 2024 Gross Revenue $870,000+ with an owner benefit of approx $220,000, 2025 Gross Revenue $763,000+. 2025 decreased in the entire State Of Florida due to economy plus owners health issues, however 2026 is coming back strong and on pace to surpass $900k in revenue.

You are not simply purchasing a restaurant — you are ACQUIRING a TRUSTED and ESTABLISHED brand that has successfully served the community for over 20 years. This OPPORTUNITY is ideal for an owner-operator looking to further grow and maximize the business or for a more passive buyer seeking a well-established operation requiring only part-time oversight. Seller willing to offer limited seller financing to qualified buyers with a strong down payment. This business will not qualify for traditional bank or SBA financing and will require a financially qualified buyer with sufficient liquidity. Opportunities to acquire a restaurant of this CALIBER, REPUTATION, OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE, and proven local following are EXTREMELY RARE.
