BEVERAGES

All beverages are charged on consumption. Some hosts choose to limit the wine menu to control cost while others allow for free reign. There is a $25 corkage fee per bottle and a two-bottle per group limit. If it is a bottle we normally have on our menu, we charge the full menu price. We can also bring in any special bottle you would like to help make your evening personal and exciting. Advanced notice is needed for this request.

CHEF'S BAR

The IL Ritorno Chef’s Bar is a culinary experience unlike any other in Tampa Bay. Adjacent to the open kitchen, you’ll have a front-row seat to all of the action while being treated to 8-9 curated courses that are not available on the dining menu. Don’t leave in a hurry – the seat is yours for the entire evening. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Pricing: Seats are $255 per person, exclusive of beverages and taxes. You can reserve a Chef’s Bar experience via Tock.
