Although this restaurant has been open for 7+ years and I’m a regular in downtown Tampa, tonight was my first visit. I debated between 3 and 4 stars, but I’m going with 3.
We had a 6:30 PM reservation and the restaurant was fairly empty (about 4–5 tables occupied), yet we were seated at a very small two-top directly next to another couple where we could clearly hear each other’s conversations. Several larger tables nearby remained empty the entire evening. When I asked about moving, we were told the tables were reserved and we’d need to leave by 8:30 PM ~ yet we stayed until 9:40 PM and those tables were never used…
Service started off slow. No one greeted us for about 20 minutes until we waved someone over. When our server, Briana, arrived, she asked if we had been helped, which made it seem like there was a lack of communication between the host staff and servers.
Food was okay: the branzino with grilled vegetables was very good, but the octopus was extremely tough and chewy. My plate was also chipped on both the left and right sides, which was surprising considering how expensive the dinner was. Drinks were fine, just a bit too sweet.
What really caught me off guard was the automatic 20% gratuity added to a two-top. The most expensive restaurants in Tampa don’t even do it and this is not Miami.
Overall, not a terrible experience ~ but not one that makes me eager to return.

Stopped by Dio Modern Mediterranean for hookah, appetizers, and dessert before a dinner and loved the luxury lounge atmosphere. Everything was elegant and relaxing, and Paul was an exceptional waiter attentive, professional, and welcoming. Will definitely return.

This place is still happening. Amazing food, great vibes, music and a bit of samba dancing friday and satirday nights. Hookah, good looking crowd. Youll love it!

I came here randomly and it did not disappoint. Took myself on a date and its a total vibe! Great night great food! I ordered the octopus and asparagus with watermelon mint hookah; delicious! Lila was an absolute doll! Thank you for your excellent service. Also the rain WAS a paid actor.

We came from out of town and spent over $600 for an experience that was honestly very disappointing. The service was poor from start to finish. I ordered a whiskey sour with no egg white, yet it was made incorrectly. The hookah was terrible, and we barely received any attention once we were seated.
A 20% gratuity was automatically added because we were a larger group, which we understood. However, we did not tip extra because our waters were never refilled, drinks came late, and the hookah wasn’t attended to. We ordered drinks and hookah around 1:45, and even then, service felt rushed and careless.
When we asked for to-go cups for our soft drinks, Briana gave us noticeable attitude, as if the 20% gratuity wasn’t enough. She seemed eager to clean our table and push us out rather than provide hospitality.
I’ve been coming here for 5–6 years, and every visit has always been respectful and grateful on our end. This was the first time my family and I left feeling unwelcome and disappointed, especially after spending so much money. This experience did not reflect the place we’ve supported for years.

Came in and had the filet mignon and lamb chops. Filet was very underwhelming, especially for the cost. It taste more like a run of the mill sirloin. Lamb chops were good. Service was generally good, but the tip was automatically added for just the two of us and the server never mentioned anything to us about it. I did not appreciate that. It seemed very underhanded. Overall, food was overpriced for what it was.

I visited Dio Mediterranean to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and the entire experience was incredible. The atmosphere was a total vibe, lively, stylish, and perfect for a special occasion.
Our server, Jane, was fantastic. She was attentive, friendly, and really made sure everything went smoothly throughout the night. The food was top-notch. Served warm and full of flavor. I had the chicken kabobs with truffle fries, and let me just say, those fries were absolutely amazing.
The live shows added a fun and entertaining element to the evening. The dancers put on a great performance, and they even included a special moment for my wife’s birthday, which made it all the more memorable.
Highly recommend Dio for anyone looking to enjoy great food, great service, and a great time in Tampa!
