Okay I've been looking for a place like this for a long time in Tampa! Food is on point, everything comes out hot and is very tasty. We sat at the bar and the drinks were amazing and service is great too. Now the atmosphere is gonna make you stand from your chair and dance. We went Saturday night and the show with the dancers and the drummers lit up the night. Is definitely a great spot for birthday parties and such. Can't wait to go back!!!

This place is a gem in the middle of downtown Tampa. I can't describe how amazing the flavors were on every plate we tried that night. I'm a fan of Mediterranean food but this place takes everything above and beyond. Also, the drinks are great. It seems that they use high quality products and their recipes are unique. Its location is very convenient for locals and tourists. We made a reservation for the 4th of July and this was the best option because after dinner we headed out to the river walk to watch the fireworks on the way. Also, the service was up to par. We had a bilingual server who helped us with personal recommendations on the menu.Kid-friendliness: Pizza for kids available. Delicious lemonadeParking: Plenty of options to park around

I recently had a fantastic experience at Dio Mediterranean in Tampa. The staff was extremely helpful in accommodating our large group of 11 with reservations. The food was absolutely amazing, especially the octopus - it was cooked to perfection! We enjoyed our meal al fresco and the ambiance was incredible. The DJ played fantastic music and the samba dancers were amazing to watch. In fact, the vibe was so great that everyone was up and dancing! Overall, I had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Dio Mediterranean to anyone looking for a great dining experience with an amazing atmosphere.

We had lunch today and everything was delicious and flavorful. The portion size is very good and decent price. They do have Samba dancers on weekend evenings so if you're in the area definitely consider getting dinner here around 8:30 ish so you don't miss the show.Food: 5/5

I went to Dio with some friends and one of them was vegan. That was his favorite spot and it used to have good options for him. When we went, we were told the menu changed and didnt have enough options for vegans. He struggled to find something that would be satisfying enough. The reason we chose the restaurant was because of his recommendation regarding vegan and healthier options. That was the only downside. I found the food to be good and the ambiance was nice. We sat outdoors. The service was also good. I just think that there should be more options for vegans, or at least more flexibility when it comes to adjusting meals. Other than that, it was a good experience. Loved their sauvignon blanc.

Service is good. I come here often and usually get a coffee and hookah or food sometimes. Now the hookah is great the food is delicious however the place is a bit to pricey for a small amount of food . Even the coffee and the hookah is overpriced. I come here every now and then because the seating outside is beautiful and it gives me a good vibe . Also since I come alone usually I feel like some of the waiters do not attend to you as much as they do to others . But when I did get a fantastic waiter I do realize that not all of them are that way. Anyway if you have the money and want to enjoy an outside seating and a Mediterranean dinner this place is nice for that especially if your new to town and is just splurging here and there . :)

My wife and I were there just for like snack before supper and we had the hummus and baba ghanoush which were outstanding. The waitress was wonderful and attentive to us And was very polite and considerate of our time. I would definitely recommend going there and we will go when we come back to Tampa again

I would say the food was great! The waitress turned me off after we were instructed to have a seat (by another employee) and relax while we waited for our food (on a adventure through company online). We thought about getting a drink it was a nice place but before we could we explained why we were there the waitress immediately told us to go to the bar instead someone would help us with that. The young man that seated said he was going to take care of it, such a turn off probable wouldn’t return just because of encounter.

Me and three of my girl friends decided to drop in on a Saturday night for dinner and drinks - we had no idea how packed this place would be and pretty much every single table and standing space were occupied, but there was a gentleman (I believe he was a manager, perhaps owner, I wish I would've gotten his name) standing near the young lady at the hostess stand who offered to try to find us a place to sit - and he made it happen! We sat outside at one of the tables with the couches - it was perfectly comfortable for the 4 of us. We ordered a hookah while we enjoyed our drinks and ate our food - and then we were able to see the excitement of the dancers that come out in their stunning outfits! The dancers were really fantastic. What we ate - the chicken souvlaki platter - it was delicious, zero complaints. We also had the baklava cheesecake - it was also tasty, and I've never had baklava cheesecake so that was a new experience entirely which is always fun. What we drank - espresso martini - I've had the espresso martini here before when me and some friends stopped by for drinks, so I already knew it was a winner - but again, it didn't disappoint. I love the espresso martinis here. The environment was very festive, fun, and exciting. I will say - if you're hoping for a quiet dinner, this might not be the place for that. But if you're looking to eat good food, have a fun environment and be uplifted by the music - this is a great place for that! We will 100% be dining here again.

We arrived at this restaurant and at the entrance we see a waitress serving us outside, but as soon as we arrived I went in and looked for another person to serve us. be careful (because that is discrimination) a Colombian man attended us, very kind and I asked him why the person who should not attend us, but his explanation did not convince us, too obvious... the girl continued to attend to the other tables outside. Apart from the delicious food, a pleasant atmosphere, it's fine to hang out...
