Shrimp Boat Opens in Plaza Bella
La Viva Plaza’s loss is Plaza Bella’s gain as the Shrimp Boat moves from Brandon to Valrico, in the space previously housing Cheddar Biscuit, at the corner of Bloomingdale Ave. and Bell Shoals Rds. It is now open.
The restaurant is owned by Chef Albert “Al” Paone. “They’re not just another food chain and they offer a great variety,” said Matt Creager, who with his parents, Plaza Bella owners Roz Cimino-Creager and Mark Creager, run the Valrico center’s signature retailer, The Green Boutique.
Paone said he and his wife, Sharon, opened Shrimp Boat Oyster Bar & Grille nine years ago on W. Lumsden Rd. and it is the eighth restaurant for Paone, who said he entered the business as a 17-year-old in Philadelphia, working at his mother’s tavern.
