MacDill Ave., which is in the same plaza as Pane Rustica.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since opening in 2015, Old Heights Bistro (spelled \u201cOlde\u201d on some instances) has been a fixture of the Seminole Heights neighborhood, serving up a variety of beer, wine, and sake, as well as an <a href=\"https:\/\/theheightsbistro.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">eclectic menu<\/a> spanning everything from sushi rolls and hummus, to steaks, burgers, curries and ravioli. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A representative from Old Heights Bistro told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay the new space will only serve breakfast and lunch for the first two years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a
