Beau & Mo’s Italian Steakhouse in Historic Kenwood purchases neighboring property, announces new menu offerings
/
Finding a parking spot at one of St. Pete’s most popular steakhouses just got a lot easier, thanks to a major new investment by the restaurant’s owners.
In June, the owners of Beau & Mo’s Italian Steakhouse, located at 2924 5th Avenue North in Historic Kenwood, purchased the neighboring auto shop for $1 million.
The family-owned steakhouse has faced limited parking since it opened in 2015.
The acquisition adds over 30 parking spaces for the 125-seat restaurant, which itself only has 15 on-site spaces.
Guests frequently relied on street parking or overflow parking across the street at the nearby PPG Paint Store.
For now, there are no plans to repurpose the vacant auto shop.

Construction crews have completed demolition of the former UPC Insurance headquarters in downtown St. Pete, clearing the three-acre site for two 31-story apartment towers with 824 apartments and more than 30,000 square feet of retail space.
The 40,000-square-foot office building at 800 2nd Avenue South most recently served as a temporary office for the Tampa Bay Rays after Hurricane Milton damaged Tropicana Field.
UPC Insurance, which once occupied the building as its corporate headquarters, was placed into liquidation in 2023.
St. Pete-based Echelon, in partnership with Third Lake Partners, will develop the $225 million project, which will span more than 1.7 million square feet.
While shorter than the 46-story Residences at 400 Central, the two-tower development will contain more total floor area. At 343 feet, the towers will become the tallest buildings west of 5th Street and rank among downtown St. Pete’s 10 tallest structures.
