The Take
Order nothing at Ciccio's Lodge. The Tampa restaurant is closed as of 2026, so the Slop Score sits at 48.
Non-chain Italian lodge energy earned some Yelp love for atmosphere, yet thin details on oils and sourcing plus the gluten-free plant-based push signaled virtue over substance. Health-curious locals bought the healthy mindset branding until the lease killed it.
The Verdict
Skip entirely. The spot delivered non-chain appeal with some positive local feedback but collapsed under lease issues and left nothing behind.
Surviving Ciccio concepts exist elsewhere in Tampa. Slop Score: 48.
