MALIO'S PRIME STEAKHOUSE – Steakhouse
Downtown Tampa, close to the water, carrying a name this city has known since 1969, when Malio Iavarone opened the original — his immigrant parents had been running their own restaurant since 1945. Malio's Prime is the current chapter: an upscale steakhouse with Italian inflections, prime cuts, a room built for the occasion rather than the quick bite, and a reputation for service that the family has spent more than fifty years defending. Private parties and catering run alongside the dining room. Lunch through dinner midweek, dinner only Saturday, closed Sunday.
