The Italian Club of Tampa
A classically elegant three-story architectural masterpiece bringing over a century of cultural heritage, winding marble staircases, and old-world romance to Ybor City events.
Where historic beauty meets timeless charm
Founded over a century ago to support the local immigrant community, the historic Italian Club of Tampa stands proudly as a premier jewel within the Ybor City historic district. Designed by award-winning architects, the breathtaking three-story building showcases an exquisite blend of Italian, Spanish, and Greek architecture. Its interior immediately captivates guests with towering windows, hand-painted floral ceiling motifs, grand alabaster chandeliers, and majestic winding marble staircases.
Partnering with CBK Catering & Events at this magnificent property provides a highly unique all-in-one footprint for multi-phase celebrations. The distinct three-level layout allows your event to progress seamlessly through separate floors, starting with a lively cocktail hour in the Mediterranean-style first floor Cantina, moving into a formal presentation or ceremony inside the second-floor Theater, and culminating in a grand banquet inside the top-floor Grand Ballroom. Every step of your timeline is beautifully supported by CBK’s custom-designed culinary menus and elite full-service coordination.
