    Five stars all around. I don't know how they get the steak to be so tender, but they do. My younger son ate all the steak in his kids bowl. I got a base of sticky rice for him, which he ate a little. It might be worth me trying another base for him next time. I got the egg bowl with steak and a base of potato, it was so filling and so good. I had it for both lunch and dinner. My older son got a starter of herbed fries (which seems hand cut) and their version of a cheese pizza (they only have one size, which is medium. He ended up eating half of it.) I was a little concerned since it is a sourdough crust but it didn't taste strongly of sourdough and he really liked it. My husband always gets the same order, which is a steak kids bowl with greens. We also got chips and salsa to start. The chips are so thin and delicious. I could drink the red salsa, it isn't spicy at all. I would gladly come here anytime. They have a parking lot and were only moderately full on a Saturday at 1 pm. It's pretty casual inside, some people were dressed cute in dresses whereas others were in workout clothes. Neither looks out of place. Service was super friendly and we were constantly checked on so we never needed things for long. I highly recommend coming here.

    Supreme pizza no mushroom light mozzarella

    The food was amazing it was first time eating here ! I ordered the supreme pizza bc without pepperoni and shared hummus as an appetizer! the service was quick the atmosphere was relaxed and clean to include the restrooms. The food digested very well, no extreme bloating or digesting feeling afterwards. The also have a sourdough chocolate chip cookie I hope to try next time. Might I add the pizza dough is locally sourced from Gulf Coast Sourdough who's notorious for delicious sourdough sandwiches and treats.

    Hot & crunchy tuna tacos & spicy Brazilian tacos
    Amanda D.

    I really enjoyed this place before this huge menu overhaul. Now I'm sad they no longer offer Taco Tuesday deals or the Asian Salad that was my favorite. I visited over the weekend and got a bowl and while I think it was good I just don't think it was worth $20 after tip. The bowl I got was the spicy Brazilian with blackened chicken and avocado rice. While I do enjoy the interior remodel I wish they would have left the menu alone as it was fine as it was. Overpriced bowls at a fast casual place just don't do it for me. Also I asked if I can do half rice and half greens for my base and server advised I would just have to pay extra for an extra base - the bowl is expensive enough as is so I'm not gonna pay $1.50 for some mixed greens. Just a shame because like I mentioned this place used to be one of my favorite places and now it's just ok.

    Tortilla chips with guacamole and salsa
    Olesya P.

    Came here for Saturday brunch after we run a 5K. It a beautiful modern place. It's kind of in between a quick bite and seat down restaurant. I visited their other locations but this was a first time I came to South Tampa. They had a nice brunch menu, very large portions and affordable. Service was friendly and attentive. We had guacamole and salsa to start and enjoyed it a lot. Tortilla chips were fresh. My husband had a burrito which was delicious and large. He only was able to eat half. I had a bowl with potatoes and eggs. It was very tasty. Definitely enjoyed it.

    Best hummus in usa ever ! Sourdough pizza , and the dragonfruit lime agua fresca was delish . 100% recommended great steak

    Spicy Brazilian Bowl
    Hannah H.

    After trying the St Pete location and seeing there is one close to me in Tampa, we decided to stop in for lunch. The inside is very beautiful, it has a humble upscale vibe especially for this to be a more casual spot. I ordered the spicy Brazilian bowl and my boyfriend ordered one of the breakfast bowls that was on the specials. Both were delicious!! I loved the flavors of my bowl and the crispy jalapeños elevated the entire bowl! Our server was nice and friendly. No complaints about this place and will definitely have it as a part of our restaurant rotation.

    Asian Salad
    Chelsea O.

    Once upon a time there existed a salad so perfect, so electric, so utterly divine, that it redefined what a salad could be. I'm talking about Cali's Asian Salad with seared ahi tuna and Thai vinaigrette. A true masterpiece of flavor, crunch, and soul-soothing freshness. This textural symphony of crisp veggies, vibrant herbs, the perfect sear of tuna and tangy vinaigrette made every bite unforgettable. It was everything a salad should be. So imagine the betrayal I felt walking into the South Tampa location only to discover my beloved salad had been unceremoniously removed from the menu. Gone, as if it meant nothing. And yet, like some cruel joke, the St. Pete location still honors this glorious dish. Riddle me this Cali: Why is this culinary gem being gatekept on only one side of the Bay? Are Tampa taste buds not worthy of flavor? Are we not loyal? Are we undeserving? I've got a broken heart and flavorless void where the perfect salad used to be. To management: IM BEGGING, bring back the Asian Salad to South Tampa. Do it for your loyal regulars. Do it for flavor. Do it for justice. And do it for the 5 stars. Until then, I'll be reluctantly battling the 275 traffic, not without holding a grudge.

    We had an evening flight and weren't in the mood to cook lunch, so we decided to order healthy bowls from Cali. We went with the Spicy Brazilian and New Mexican Bowl for a flavorful and nutritious meal. I picked up our order in just 20 minutes and headed home. Both bowls were absolutely delicious, tasty, healthy, and with good portion, making for a satisfying lunch. For anyone looking for fresh and flavorful healthy bowls, Cali is definitely a go-to spot!

    Spicy Brazilian - as recommended but add pickled onions
    Elle H.

    This place is a mist visit when in the Tampa area. I wish this location had a outdoor area, it would be a perfect spot. The inside ambiance is adorable and refreshing. I got the spicy brazilian as the menu recommends it and added pickled onion. I could eat this for lunch every day. Light, refreshing, healthy, and cohesive. Chips and salsa are also solid.

    We had a great experience here this week, stopping in for a healthy, quick dinner on a week night in a boho chic style restaurant. Our service was great and food came out quickly.

    Menu - 2.2025

    I went to Cali for lunch recently. Here's what I thought: Ambiance: Cali is simply and nicely decorated on the inside. The inside space feels very clean and welcoming. I didn't look at their outdoor seating, but it looked like they had a nice outdoor seating area. Restrooms: The restrooms were nice and clean. They had two single use bathrooms. Service: Our waitress was super friendly and welcoming. She gave good recommendations on what to eat. Our food came out quick. Food: They have tons of healthy options on the menu. I also thought their prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. If you love healthy food options - come here! I tried their 'Spicy Rio Burrito', it was a burrito filled with turmeric rice, black beans, roasted corn, cheddar cheese, guacamole, cilantro, sambal, tomatillo salsa, and lime Caesar. It was delicious! I asked for the salsa on the side and it was the perfect amount of heat. It came with a side which I felt the wrap didn't need. I ordered their roasted broccoli as my side and I couldn't eat it all because I was so full from the burrito. My fiancé had their 'Sooo.... buff' bowl and loved it. We will definitely come back for a yummy, quick and healthy food option!

    Spicy Brazilian Bowl
    Joe D.

    Stopped in with a buddy before his flight and were pleasantly surprised. Our first spot we struck out so stopped in here on a whim and glad we did. We began with the chips and guacamole. The guacamole was average, run-of-the-mill guacamole and not to write home about. The chips, however, were incredible. They were seasoned with a tajin or some sort of spice that enhanced the profile. For our mains, my friend go the So Buff bowl. He seemed to really enjoy it. I ordered the Spicy Brazilian Bowl. This bowl was delicious with the turmeric rice and blackened chicken. It was very heavy and I was not able to finish it all. Definitely come here hungry because the bowls are deceptively filling. The service was great and the ambiance was simple but bright with large windows letting in the natural light. I would come back as the value is on par with a chipotle bowl in price but much better quality.

    Veggie breakfast bowl + 2 eggs
    Devon O.

    Cali's menu is so good that every time I order something different and it's never disappointed. Today I got the veggie bowl with 2 eggs - definitely recommend any of the breakfast bowls as the crispy potato base is so good. The San Jose bowl was excellent as well. Service is great, staff is kind and helpful.

We were a group of 10 and our server was excellent! The whole staff really! We sat outside and enjoyed our food+ mimosas. There was a tv out there so i know if i ever go with my husband he can watch his games (gooooo sports) while i indulge in my mimosas. I'd been studying the menu ever since my friend told me we were going. I ended up going with the avocado tartine and added smoked salmon. It was delicious and went well with a day of heavy drinking!! We also ordered the grazing board for the table which was amazing. I loved the assortment of cheeses and snacks. The butter on the board was bussinnnnn! I was in heaven!! I should mention the bottomless mimosas were $25 and the bottles literally just keep coming! Safe to say we were all feeling nice and toasty by the time we left. We hung out for a while without even getting kicked out I'd love to visit again and try more menu items. The server mentioned the cubano is the best Cuban you'll have. Now I'm always a bit skeptical bc everyone says that lol but the cubano came out looking gooooodT! I didn't try it but my friend who ordered it loved it! Parking was easy and right outside. We parked and checked in pretty quickly with ease. Thanks for the awesome service and experience! I definitely recommend adding district south kitchen & craft to your list of boozy brunch spots!

Two different sauces per plate. So in my mind, that means they most likely make their own ranch, honey mustard, etc. how exciting?! I ordered a ranch for my friend and I, hoping that it would be homemade and blow my doors off. Ranch came, paired great with the fires but then they charged me $2.75?! Yooo, did me dirty, I can't lie. All in all, I liked it here. I just don't know if I'll hurry back. Also, for two apps, 3 entries, was kinda expansive. Idk maybe I'm just complaining. We are in Tampa, I just didn't feel great looking at the bill.

We also got their brunch burger, which we ordered at medium rare. It's probably the first place I've ever served me an actual medium rare burger cooked correctly! The egg was nice and runny the bun was seasoned. I could've gone without the croissant bun. I think it got soggy and the flavor didn't quite fit. I was expecting a more buttery, flaky croissant rather I got a more sweet dough croissant. Otherwise, the other components were put together very well. The french fries are also cooked perfectly. Highly recommend. Then we ended the meal off with macadamia pancakes. The pancakes themselves were kind of flat but surprisingly very moist and very yummy. I wasn't expecting them to be moist because I have flat they were, but it was very good. The macadamia and the fruit combo on top was delicious. The passionfruit syrup was tangy and sour. My only feedback is to serve it with whipped cream or something to just relieved all the sourness that's on this plate. Otherwise very well executed. We'll definitely be back!

Physically, I'm fine, but I'm uncomfortable - My left side is soaked, I smell like wine, and you didn't bring the napkin I needed...so I asked again, may I please get another napkin. Now, I get it, people make mistake. Thankfully it was white wine, but I sat in wet clothes for over an hour to dry. We were there from 12:30p-3:00pm. I expected sometime during that 2.5 hour lunch for a manager to come swing by the table and just check in. Did they? Nope. Did my wine get comped? Nope. But is a complimentary wine what I expected? Nope. The only expectation I had from this incident was for an upper management staff to check in. Would I be treated differently if it was red wine instead? Shouldn't have matter either way. I'm completely disappointed in the way this matter was handled. This is not the establishment where I would expect this lack of service. If you want to know about the food, it's fine and consistent, but you pay a lot for the small portion size, and can get better and more food across the street, and you may not get wine spilled on you to boot!

    May I suggest: Grimaldi's has been such a favorite of ours…read morefor many years, possibly more than a decade now when I come to think of it. Although some of their seasonal cheesecake has changed, some do make a return and I get to enjoy them again! Their cheesecakes are rich, thick, creamy, and probably the closest thing you'll get to an authentic New York style cheesecake without a trip to The BIg Apple itself. Some of my personal notable faves include Caramel Coconut Chocolate (not here this year. Hint hint Grimaldi's--bring it back!!) Strawberry (always a pleaser and always comes during the summer without fail!) and Pumpkin (perfect for your Thanksgiving plate). They make pretty good salads too to keep things healthy and balanced. My fave is the Arugula Lemon with shaved parm and a lemon vinaigrette dressing that offsets the bitterness of the arugula. But of course... Let's not forget the pizza!!!! If you're a fan of coal oven New York style pizza, this is the place to be! I love their white pizza, and I've been alternating between the regular white with garlic, and their four cheese! You can customize your pizza to suit your taste anyway you like. I always get the regular white with added ricotta. Perfection! Grimaldi's loves their regulars and it shows because I'm always greeted at the front. Nice to see familiar people there, which makes you feel right at home!

    Visited for pizza before a kids movie, party of 5. The kids hated the pizza. Adults thought it was…read moreokay. Our waiter changed mid-service and we got a server who we noticed giving us awkward stares. She wasn't polite, throughout, she dropped items off without speaking and finally accused us of being thieves. She left the check as we were getting multiple kids ready to pack up and leave. We saw the total, paid and tipped amongst us in cash. As we're walking out, literally at the door, the server runs out accusing us of skipping out on our tab. The tab holder now has our cash and no receipt. She claims we didn't pay in full and blocked us in. This was by far the most embarrassing experience ever. In front of other guests, we were vilified and ridiculed. I will never, not ever, visit this place again. Not Black family friendly.
