Exquisite experience! Everything is beautiful and the food delicious. Truly a delight to spend a couple of hours being treated like royalty. There's also a little coffee/tea shop for specialty beverages and lovely gift items you find only in rare spots like this. Tampa is very fortunate to have this gem in our midst!

I have been to afternoon tea throughout the USA,England and EU. RIALTO was by far the best. The food was fresh and so tasty. The service was exceptional. The owner came to the our table and described all the delicious food. The atmosphere was charming and cozy. I can't wait to return.
