Olympia Catering & Events of Tampa is running the café. Lisa Schwartz-Green is the restaurant manager.

Dishes include such highlights as the Italian aqua pazza (crazy water), which features locally harvested sturgeon lightly poached in a golden sherry saffron broth paired with leeks and tomatoes. A wide range of artisanal-crafted salads and paninis and many surprises is making the MFA Café a Mediterranean oasis in the heart of St. Petersburg.

Olympia Catering & Events is a third-generation family-owned business founded in 1924. It is one of the oldest and finest bakeries in the area and has been in the catering business for more than 40 years. In the last few years, Olympia has managed a 60-seat café at Mainsail Suites and a 500-seat facility at St. John Greek Orthodox Church and currently manages the 250-seat event facility of The Tampa Firefighters Museum.

The company is a preferred or approved vendor at every major event facility in the area and has a long list of regular clients, including PriceWaterhouse Coopers, Home Depot, Verizon, Jabil Circuit, Fowler & White, The Tampa Tribune, and many others. With Olympia, the MFA has found the perfect partners to serve lunches that are, in themselves, works of art.
