Tampa's Olivia and On Swann Coming to UTC

Good Bite

Two of Tampa’s most popular restaurants are coming to University Town Center (UTC) next year. Olivia and On Swann, both by award-winning Chef Chris Ponte, are set to open back-to-back locations in the West District of the premier shopping, dining and entertainment destination. The two restaurants will be located along N. Cattlemen Rd. in a new ground-up development on the opposite side of Ford’s Garage. Olivia will occupy about 6,500 square feet and remain a family affair, with Ponte partnering with his wife, Michelle, and sons JT and Andy Mahoney to operate the business. Like its Tampa sister, Ponte will partner with Chris Arreola for On Swann, which is expected to take up to 5,000 square feet.
