TAMPA, Fla. – Just three blocks from the University of Tampa and two blocks north of Kennedy Boulevard lies the new North Hyde Park restaurant, Giancarlo’s Café and Spirits.
It’s a family-run business that offers quick service breakfast, coffee and lunch, and then it converts into an evening hot spot with a casual yet elevated experience for happy hour and beyond.

We have a great brunch — um, and then lunch, a lot of sandwiches, a lot of quick-service stuff. Come up to the counter, grab and go. I know everybody needs to be back at work.”
