The Spotlight on Renzo's - Carrollwood

Argentine Steakhouse Flavor Just Minutes from Tampa’s Live Music Scene

Renzo’s - Carrollwood is a warm, inviting Argentine steakhouse located on North Dale Mabry Highway, just a quick drive from many of Tampa’s top concert venues. Known for its sizzling cuts of beef, bold wine list, and rustic-chic interior, it’s a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Expect authentic South American flavors, attentive service, and a cozy, candle-lit vibe that works whether you're hyping up before a show or winding down after one.

Why Concert-goers love it

Renzo's is especially loved by concert-goers for its quick, friendly service and the fact that it's just far enough from downtown to avoid heavy traffic, yet close enough for an easy Uber ride to the venue. The atmosphere is lively but not too noisy, making it a great spot to kick off your night out. Their hearty meat-forward menu means you'll be well-fed before heading out to dance or sing along to your favorite act. Bonus points for generous portions and easy parking.
