After a brief but notable hiatus, Predalina Water Street Tampa is officially gearing up to reopen its doors on Dec. 9 — and Tampa’s culinary scene is buzzing. This vibrant Mediterranean restaurant, owned by Oxford Commons, is stepping back into the spotlight with a completely refreshed look, a revamped menu, and an atmosphere primed for nightlife energy.
A Fresh Start for a Water Street Favorite
Predalina temporarily closed at the end of October to launch an ambitious renovation, transforming its 7,000-square-foot footprint into a captivating and colorful space designed for evening crowds. The new ambiance brings the signature Oxford Commons touch — a blend of modern artistry, Mediterranean flair, and the unmistakable playful charm the group is known for. The reopening marks an exciting new chapter for Predalina Water Street Tampa as it positions itself as a trendsetting destination for food, drinks, and social gatherings.
A Menu Designed to Delight
With its doors swinging back open, guests can expect a fully redesigned menu that leans into relaxed dining, vibrant flavors, and elevated Mediterranean comfort. After its renovation, Predalina is set to spotlight both returning favorites and fresh new creations. Signature dishes such as the potato stroma, blue crab chitarra, and a reimagined steak frites will meet newcomers like burrata and caviar, calamari, and a decadent shaved lamb dip. While brunch and dinner menus will be available, lunch service won’t debut just yet, preserving the restaurant’s focus on bold evening experiences.
A Space Built for Nightlife and Energy
As night falls, the restaurant’s expansive interior comes alive with a DJ, a shimmering gold disco ball, and immersive design touches curated by Oxford Design Studio, a sister company to Oxford Commons. To embody a renewed sense of modernity, the interior features mosaics, lush olive trees, and dramatic drapery. The walls shine with bold statement pieces, photography, and an eye-catching mural depicting “Predalina.” Outside, the 2,000-square-foot patio offers large umbrellas and plenty of room to enjoy Water Street’s electric atmosphere.
Two New Cocktail Lounges for Evening Crowds
To further embrace the district’s bustling nightlife, Predalina has transformed its private events room into a full-blown cocktail lounge. The restaurant now features two corner lounges located near the top bar, complete with plush seating, a painted dance floor, and an ambiance that blends luxury with fun. These additions reinforce Predalina Water Street Tampa as a go-to destination for those seeking handcrafted drinks, stylish surroundings, and a vibrant social scene.
The Investment Behind the Transformation
Though the renovation cost was not disclosed by representatives, Predalina originally opened in July 2023 with a $2 million construction investment, according to Tampa building records. This latest transformation proves Oxford Commons’ commitment to creating standout experiences and elevating Water Street’s identity as a hub for dining, entertainment, and creative design.
A Holiday Reopening Full of Anticipation
Predalina Water Street Tampa is ready to make its mark once again just in time for the holiday season — refreshed, revitalized, and reimagined. With bold flavors, gorgeous design, and a renewed connection to Water Street’s growing community, the restaurant is poised to become one of the district’s top evening destinations.
