Farm Table Cucina is a guest favorite on the St. Pete Beach Drive Dine & Wine Tour. We are treated like royalty and the food and wine pairings are always amazing.

The farm to table concept is apparent in all of the food. Notable is the produce from local farmers Brick Street Farms also in downtown St. Pete.

Clams with house made sausage.

The atmosphere is friendly and warm as is the service.

The tables are always beautifully set.

The private dining room where the weekly Thursday night Chefs table is hosted is rustic and inviting. It is always a special treat when the room is available for our St. Pete Beach Drive Dine & Wine Tour.

Here are a few impressive stats from the pastry kitchen.

  • 7 – 8 varieties of cookies are available
  • 94 varieties of pastries and bread are produced
  • Gluten free and vegan options can be made upon request
  • Special order cakes and pies available

The original chocolate chip cookie recipe of Michael Mina. Michael is a celebrity chef and owner of The Mina Group. Locale Market and FarmTable Cucina are among his 40+ restaurants world wide. This is a recipe not to be tampered with, and since it is the most popular selling item in the Market, there is no reason to alter perfection!

The restaurant features separate menus for vegan and gluten free diners. As a food tour operator it is a valuable option as we have many on the tours that ask for those options.
