Surprisingly large portions help make this place stand out. Those large portions reflect the owner’s philosophy of what makes the restaurant special: the three S’s of sharing, socializing and sangria. Their desserts are recommended. There’s a relaxed atmosphere about the place, especially compared to some of the other spots on this list.

Vizcaya serves up eclectic Spanish cuisine, and even hosts Flamenco nights complete with dancer and a singer/guitarist. The shrimp tapas are recommended, as is the pate of duck liver. Chef/Owner Felix Piedra’s personal touch adds to the ambience. Vizcaya’s authenticity causes many diners to refer to it as a little taste of Spain in Tampa.
