We’ve been hearing announcements on various developments moving into the Big Guava — from new restaurants at Water Street Tampa + the Tampa International Airport’s new Terminal D to Hyde Park Village’s addition of The Salty Donut. In 2023, Tampa’s business + economic development landscape will only continue to grow.

In case you skimmed over some of this groundbreaking news, here’s a quick recap.

This relaxing, full-service Italian restaurant is set to open in the spring of 2023 in the newly developed Water Street Tampa neighborhood. The third business venture of Tampa’s local Chef Ferrell Alvarez, the 2,400 sqft space will feature both an exquisite indoor and outdoor dining experience, featuring European-style interiors.

The Salty Donut, Hyde Park Village, 1519 W. Swann Ave. + 5808 N. Florida Ave.

Offering fresh artisanal craft donuts, this Miami chain of delicious treats is set to open a storefront location in two of Tampa Bay’s most popular areas in 2023.
