Malio Iavarone wined and dined celebrities, sports stars and Tampa's movers and shakers more than 35 years at Malio's Steak House on S Dale Mabry Highway. Now the site will likely serve protein bars and fruit drinks to fitness buffs. California-based LA Fitness International recently purchased the nearly 86,000-square-foot site for $4.8 million, according to Hillsborough County records. LA Fitness operates 65 health clubs in Florida and hundreds more throughout the country. Iavarone closed the restaurant in 2005 and opened in downtown Tampa at the bottom of the Sykes Enterprise tower. The tower, on N Ashley Drive, is also known as the "Beer Can" building.
