BONU TAVERNA – Italian
A Southern Italian taverna on Central Avenue in St. Pete, built on the notion that the best part of the day happens around a table. The menu shifts with the season: grilled octopus with pistachio pesto and cannellini bean salad, crispy risotto arancini, beef and cheese polpette, tomino baked in speck with balsamic. Pasta is the centre. Orecchiette with Italian sausage, rapini and Calabrian chili oil; rigatoni Genovese under braised short rib; linguine with scallops, shrimp, calamari and clams. Roman-style pinsa arrives hand-pressed. Charcuterie mix-and-match runs each afternoon. Reservations for two or more, a private dining space for larger parties.
