The new Tampa Museum of Art features a café - Sono Café - which is open seven days a week. Sono Café overlooks the banks of the Hillsborough River and is accessible to all visitors through an admission-free entrance. The café has a seating capacity of approximately 75, including waterfront tables, and will offer menu items appropriate to visitors of all ages. Sono Café embraces the ‘Slow Food Movement,’ which counters fast food, and fast life, and invites guests to slow down and enjoy their dining experience with all the sensations that accompany the consumption of good food and quality ingredients in a comforting environment. The menu of Sono Café is rooted in Italy – where the concept of ‘Slow Food’ was founded in 1989 – and will offer guests a range of choices from wine to dessert, and everything in between. Sono Café will become Tampa’s downtown hub during the week, and a key destination for weekend visitors and downtown residents alike. Sono Cafe is operated by Mise en Place of Tampa.
