One of seven Columbia restaurants statewide, this location at CityPlace offers a comforting, old-world atmosphere and a rich selection of tradition and original recipes. The first Columbia opened in 1905 in Tampa's Ybor City and a number of entrees, including the red snapper Alicante, have been on the menu for decades. The list of tapas and paellas are complemented by a selection of Cuban dishes, and the wine list spans the globe with plenty of inexpensive Spanish and American vintages available by the glass and bottle.
