Tastes Pretty Good to open Japanese restaurant in Tampa

Tastes Pretty Good, the restaurant group behind Michelin-starred Rocca, plans to open Kingfish, a Japanese restaurant at Rome Collective in North Hyde Park.

Nick Reader, CEO of Tastes Pretty Good, described Kingfish as “a full-service sushi bar that takes a minimalist approach to Japanese cuisine, complemented by a curated selection of cocktails and sake.” He said the restaurant is expected to open in the first quarter of next year.

Rome Collective is a 38,000-square-foot retail development along North Rome Avenue in North Hyde Park. Kingfish will join Lumbre at the project.

The restaurant will occupy about 3,390 square feet at 1706 W. North B St. The interior buildout is valued at about $600,000, according to building documents filed with the City of Tampa.
