FarmTable Cucina, formerly FarmTable Kitchen, has expanded to be an Italian-inspired restaurant.
Its new menu has been updated to reflect additional Italian dishes but includes guest favorites such as dry-aged steaks and local seafood.
The restaurant staff also added al fresco dining on the upstairs outdoor patio.
Chef Jeff Thornsberry and Locale Market General Manager Mordechai Baron were guest on ABC Action News' Good Morning Tampa Bay Saturday.
