TAMPA, Fla. — One of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in the bay area, Midtown Tampa features swanky apartments, a Whole Foods grocery story, elite retail, even a posh hotel.
But what Midtown, a relatively new concept now serving 4,000 residents and visitors a day, needed most was a warm cozy center, a hangout for everyone.
Enter the brand-new Colony Grill, located at 3640 Midtown Drive, a New England-based restaurant with Irish origins that go back almost 100 years.
"Community is super important to us, and Midtown is just so easy to get to," CEO and co-founder Paul Coniglio said. "This will allow us to serve a really wide demographic."
Colony Grill is known for its cozy, old-school bar, its Wall of Heroes honoring local first responders and military, and its unique pizza.
"It's thin crust but sturdy enough so you can hold a slice in one hand and a drink in the other," Coniglio said.
The most popular dish on a food menu featuring just pizza and salad? "Hot oil" bar pie, pizza made with serrano pepper-infused oil and sausage.
