Cena in Tampa is a great spot for a date night or special occasion. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, making it perfect for a romantic dinner. The service is top-notch, with servers that are attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The food is delicious, with a variety of Italian dishes to choose from. The appetizers, like the crispy eggplant, are flavorful and unique. The main courses, such as the rustic bolognese and shrimp and scallop risotto, are cooked to perfection. The desserts are also delicious, especially the dark chocolate dessert cake. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but there is a parking garage around the corner. Cena is definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a memorable dining experience.

Rest in peace Cena. I have loved this place for years. Thank you for being so incredible and delicious. What a shame to lose such an awesome establishment. Hopefully Michael and the rest of the partners have a bright future ahead because they will be missed here. Service: Dine in Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Great creations by the chef, and a rotating menu. Everything was cooked to perfection. Atmosphere is lovely but service and attentiveness could be approved - for both bar and dining. Get the branzino! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Recommended dishes: Truffle Pasta

Having heard about Cena's Michelin star reputation, we eagerly made a reservation for Saturday evening dinner. Upon entering the restaurant, we were warmly greeted at the reception and promptly shown to our table. Our server soon arrived with menus in hand, and we couldn't help but admire the vibrant ambiance, with people all around enjoying their meals in the beautifully decorated space. After browsing the menu, we started with glasses of red wine--Cabernet and Pinot Noir--which were the perfect way to kick off our dining experience. For dinner, we ordered the Crispy Eggplant, Baby Kale Caesar, Truffle Radiatori, and Bucatini Primavera. For dessert, we decided on Cannoli. The Crispy Eggplant arrived first, and it was the perfect starter--crispy on the outside, complemented by Tomato Marmalade and Truffle Cheese. We absolutely loved it. Next, we enjoyed the Baby Kale Caesar, which stood out with its unique Chickpea Croutons. The flavor was different, yet absolutely delicious. Our main courses arrived shortly after: the Bucatini Primavera and Truffle Radiatori. Both pasta dishes were exquisite, with the chicken perfectly cooked and the flavors truly finger-licking good. We couldn't get enough of them. To finish, we indulged in a Cannoli served with Chocolate Ice Cream. It was the perfect sweet ending to our dinner--delicious and satisfying. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and meal at Cena. The combination of mesmerizing ambiance and delectable food made for an unforgettable evening.
