Sip, Savor, and Stroll: History, Art, Wine, & Architecture Await at the Crislip Café!
Step into history and savor the romance of Tuscany right here in St. Petersburg. Located on the historic 600 block of Central Avenue, the Crislip Arcade is nearly 100 years old, one of only three remaining arcades in Florida from the 1920s. Originally built during the arcade boom to connect communities and commerce, it now serves as a hub for creativity, culture, and local art.
At the Crislip Café, you can immerse yourself in a unique blend of history, architecture, and culture while supporting local artists and craftspeople. Indulge in the centuries-old Italian tradition of Buchette Del Vino, small wine windows originating in Tuscany during the Renaissance, designed to serve wine directly to patrons.
Through our Buchette Del Vino, you can enjoy:
- A selection of red, white, and sparkling wines by the glass.
- Champagne-based cocktails that add a touch of elegance.
- Refreshing and creative mocktails, perfect for all tastes.
- Seasonal specialties inspired by the flavors of Tuscany.
Stroll through the charming arcade, soak in its timeless architecture, and savor a glass of wine or mocktail from our wine window. The Buchette Del Vino experience offers a unique way to connect with history, culture, and the vibrant spirit of the Crislip Café.
Join us for an unforgettable journey that blends local charm with the flavors of Tuscany, right in the heart of St. Pete.
