The crew behind Tampa’s Michelin-starred Rocca is about to turn up the heat in North Hyde Park. Lumbre, a modern Spanish restaurant centered on wood-fired grilling and paella, is set to open next Wednesday, July 15, inside the Rome Collective at 220 N Rome Ave. Reservations are already live as staff put the finishing touches on the new dining room.
Who's Behind Lumbre
As reported by Creative Loafing Tampa, Lumbre comes from local hospitality group Tastes Pretty Good. On its restaurants page, Tastes Pretty Good lists Rocca, Bar Terroir and Streetlight Taco among its existing concepts, so Lumbre is joining a lineup that already has serious food-world credibility.
Menu And Approach
According to Lumbre, the menu will focus on “wood-fired grilling, traditional paella, and tapas featuring pristine seafood and imported cheeses & hams.” That points to a grill-forward, shareable format rather than a buttoned-up tasting menu, with paella and tapas built for lingering, communal meals.
Where To Reserve
Reservations are handled through OpenTable, which lists the restaurant at 220 N Rome Ave and includes price brackets and hours. The listing also names Nick Orr as executive chef and provides contact details for the Rome Collective location, for anyone planning a group night out or special occasion.
What This Adds To NoHo
Lumbre arrives as the Rome Collective continues to fill out its retail footprint, attracting multiple new concepts this year, according to WhatNow. The operator’s track record carries weight: Rocca holds a Michelin star, a detail the Michelin Guide notes prominently and one that is likely to raise expectations for Lumbre’s Spanish spread. For neighborhood diners, the new spot looks poised to become a go-to for relaxed, wood-fired nights.
We’ll update this post when Lumbre releases full menus or announces opening-night specifics. For now, reservations and press inquiries are being routed through the restaurant’s OpenTable listing and official site.
