Ash sits in Water Street Tampa under Proper House Group, with chef Ferrell Alvarez describing the concept as "fancy, but approachable fancy." The kitchen makes its pasta in house and sources ingredients close, landing on a modern Italian menu built around that approach.
The Lumache alla Vodka — alla vodka sauce, guanciale, parmesan — is the kitchen's signature pasta and its most requested dish. Grilled Prawns Scampi, finished with garlic scapes, lemon, and herb, is another standout, best ordered alongside the focaccia.
The restaurant sits a short walk from Benchmark International Arena and the Straz Center, making it a common stop before a show or event downtown. Ash also hosts private events, ranging from a chef's table for four up to a full restaurant buyout.
