/elevated comfort food/

Sōl (soul) St Pete is a cozy yet sophisticated, family-owned and operated, farm-to-table boutique restaurant dedicated to gluten-free and allergen-free casual-upscale dining. Free from  refined/seed oils, eggs, corn, soy, GMOs, refined sugar, peanuts, and homogenized cow cheese.   We aim to provide a welcoming and inclusive experience for all, regardless of dietary restrictions or preferences. Our passion is crafting dishes that elevate comfort food and arouse nostalgia by taking you back to your grandmother's kitchen. We use simple cooking techniques and the highest quality fresh, organic, wild-caught, and grass-fed & finished seasonal ingredients to create an inviting-conscious culinary experience.

Debbie DeVico-O'Neil, the founder, executive chef, and co-owner with her husband Ron, has celiac disease and multiple food allergies, which the restaurant accommodates. After working as a holistic and allergen-free personal chef and caterer for nine years, she opened Sōl in January 2022, driven by her passion for fresh, seasonal, allergen-friendly cuisine. With over 20 years of experience in holistic health and wellness, Debbie has offered conscious culinary classes, holistic nutrition guidance, and lifestyle coaching.

Ron, a fitness expert who healed himself through nutrition and exercise, co-owns Sōl and previously operated local personal training and fitness studios for over 20 years, helping others transform their health. Together, Debbie and Ron, parents of seven children, provide a warm, friendly, and intimate boutique dining experience unique to St. Pete.
