Celebrity chef and partners open Tampa modern American eatery

Celebrity chef Fabio Viviani and some Tampa partners have opened a new restaurant at 204 Westshore Plaza.

Amendment XXI, a Prohibition-themed modern American restaurant, had a soft opening Aug. 18 and features a modern American menu with "elevated," chef-inspired choices including craft cocktails, wild boar sausage, wagyu carpaccio, burgers and a New York strip.

The restaurant wanted to move slowly before expanding its hours, which are currently from 3-10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 3-11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Amendment XXI will expand its hours in the future, says co-owner Anthony Sandstrom, who moved to the Tampa Bay region in 2019.
