YBOR CITY. Named after Italian sculptor Bernini, this elegant restaurant occupies the building that once housed the Bank of Ybor City. Its elegant interior befits the extravagant entrees and sophisticated diners who frequent the place. Although lunch is a casual affair, dinner itself is an occasion. Live jazz plays in the background and patrons feast on calamari, black Angus beef, orange-glazed duck and salmon carpaccio. The open dining room provides a vista through the entire restaurant, and guests who partake of martinis and cigars upstairs have an even better view of events. Desserts, as necessary as main courses, are fresh interpretations of Italian classics. NB Their wood-fired pizzas are nothing short of sinful.
