Rome + Fig, a globally inspired bistro in North Hyde Park, is closing after six years.
Owners Eric and Kristine Zostant announced the decision on Instagram, expressing gratitude for their guests, staff and supporters. Rome + Fig’s last day of service will be June 28.
“The restaurant industry is filled with challenges, but despite them, we consider ourselves fortunate to have spent the last six years serving this amazing community,” the Zostants wrote.
Rome + Fig opened in summer 2020 during the pandemic. Kristine and Eric had to be adaptive to open their first restaurant — they had socially-distanced tables, sanitizing stations and single-use physical menus.
Six years later, Rome + Fig boasted a large international dinner, brunch and drinks menu. Dishes spanned fish papillote (French) to lomo saltado (Chinese-Peruvian) to chicken pizzaiola (Italian).
“What began as a dream became so much more than a restaurant … countless memories were shared around our tables,” the Zostants wrote.
The restaurant will have modified hours through June 28: 4 p.m.-12 a.m. Friday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday for brunch and 4 p.m.-12 a.m. for dinner and 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Sunday for brunch.
Rome + Fig is located at 301 N. Rome Ave., Tampa.
