There really is only one way to explain Tanto. WOW!!!!!! Reserve a table ASAP is all I can say. So clean, professional, and what an experience. If you love craft cocktails, amazing small bites, and want to sit back and basically be pampered this is the place. Ari (Sorry if spelling is wrong) was amazing, so friendly, explained everything so well that made it us go completely off menu which we loved. Chuck one of our bartenders and sorry I did not get everyone’s name but honestly rarely can I say, every single person there deserves a shoutout for impeccable service. Cocktails were phenomenal as was the food. Mike, appreciate you taking the time to visit with us as well and thank you for the experience you and the team have created. I rarely can say, I am beyond excited to book a reservation again! A+!!!!

Wowowow, can’t say enough great things about Tanto! From start to finish not only is the service immaculate as soon as you walk in but the drinks and food are absolutely fire! We’ve traveled all over the world and have gone to the best cocktail lounges in the world and what they do here Tanto is special. I would implore you to come visit and be blown away!

We made a reservation at Tanto expecting dinner, but it turned out to be for cocktails and small bites, which was a bit confusing at first. That said, the cocktail experience was quite good.. everything looked fancy and beautifully presented, and the drinks tasted great as well. For small bites, we ordered the tartar and the mini chicken burgers, both of which were enjoyable. Overall, it was a nice experience and definitely worth a one time visit.

Truly one of a kind cocktail place in Tampa. Michelin star experience for what is very reasonably priced drinks. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the staff’s dedication to their craft of mixology. The drinks, the service, the food and the ambience were exceptional. Highly recommend this place for a quick drink with a group of friends or with a special someone.

One of the best bar experiences I’ve had in a long time! The cocktails were insanely good – super creative and full of flavor, not your average menu at all. The vibe was perfect: laid-back but still lively, and the staff were next-level friendly, attentive, and clearly love what they do. You can tell there’s real care and detail behind everything.
I started off with Nobody’s Foo which is a beautifully unique masterpiece both in presentation and flavor. I highly recommend trying this one.
Next I had The Human Condition, a lighter, more refreshing cocktail which paired really nicely with the plates I chose. The Cucumber Toast was insanely good, I practically licked the plate clean lol. Also really enjoyed the Steak Tartare because well… it’s steak tartare!
I ended my night with a delicious Omakase cocktail (bartenders choice) crafted by Chuck himself. He asked me a few simple questions both related and non-related to drinks and delivered something new and delightful to my palate.
Overall, I’m very pleased with my experience and highly recommend checking out this spot.

Today was our first time in Tanto Tampa and we were wowed. The drinks, food and atmosphere were unmatched, as was the customer service and attention to detail. This is such a unique vibe in terms of creativity when it comes to the food and drinks. Mike was very attentive and so was the staff. I can’t wait to come back!

This place was amazing! From the drinks to the ambiance to the staff — everything was on point. You can truly taste the love and attention they put into their drinks, tailoring each one to your preferences and even pairing them perfectly with your food. It’s more than just a meal; it’s an experience. The food was incredible, but what really stood out was how personal, friendly, and welcoming the staff were. I’m definitely coming back — and bringing my friends just for the vibes and the amazing team alone! Chuck, Mike, Ari were the absolute best with the experience here! Each one too. Their time getting to know what our preference was in food and drinks and it just made the experience that much better. Highly recommend coming here.

Order the Second Date first if you are up for a creamy sweet and savory experience! We loved Ari, she was able to dissect our palate and recommend the best drinks for our moods!
