We hadn’t been here in 20 years. There are no Maggiano’s in Sarasota. We had booked a local hotel for an early flight so we were in Tampa. We sat at a high top in the lounge. Are server was Anya and she was just awesome. The Fried Calamari was excellent! Our two fish dinners were great also.
Food was amazing, got the deal where you can pick, an appetizer, two classic pastas, and a dessert (the hot butter cake is to die for) for $50 I believe. Drinks were delicious as well. Excellent experience.
The fettuccine was pretty good and creamy. Just not the best. For it claiming to be little italy it tasted like olive garden and we all know Olive Garden is just an expert at using the microwave. The mushroom ravioli was tasty, the chicken parmesan was also good. I just think that it’s all frozen and should not be over $17.00 per plate. The service was good and environment is actually quite empty and dim but it is peaceful. Would i come again ? Maybe but i have not come back since July 2021.
Went in the afternoon and sat outside. Very nice ambiance and not as crowded as inside. Customer service was top tier and main reason I’m giving 5 stars. Drinks were very good. I myself think I ordered the wrong things because out of my table, I was the only one who didn’t really like their food. My daughter and wife’s food was amazing and mine just wasn’t up to par for what I expected.Stuffed mushrooms didn’t have the taste I was looking for and the salmon dish wasn’t seasoned that much. Just kind of eh. I would definitely return and just order something else.Ordered the Stuffed mushrooms; Salmon with Crispy Calabrian shrimp; Frozen peach Bellini, Citrus mule
Love this restaurant. It was busy tonight but we had reservations so we got seated on time. Food was sooooo deelish! Seafood was really fresh (the calamari was absolutely amazing; light abs crispy). Definitely will be coming back!!
Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant. The food was delectable, especially the Salmon with Calabrian Shrimp. The peppered relish gives you the perfect kick, not too spicy just a perfect balance of flavors and Salmon was prepared just right. Service was unmatched, drinks stayed full yet not so attentive it was bothersome. Overall, this was the perfect family dinner date. As the kiddo loved the Flatbread pizza ?
The food is decent, not really as "authentic" as you'd think. Although I forgot to snap a picture of the bruschetta, it was probably the worst thing we ordered for the table and I will not order it from here again. The bread tadtee store bought and didn't make me feel good, so I couldn't even eat it. It was overall tastless. The pasta's are decent, but I've had better in Tampa. The creme brulee was a good size and a nice dessert. They offer $5 take-home pastas of one of the classic pastas they offer if you order one during your dine-in visit. They do not have oregano, which was kind of surprising for an Italian restaurant. The place smelled a bit greasy/cheesy, but not in a good way, if that makes sense!
There for a family gathering? We had one of the private rooms. Well attended, very attentive staff. Quite pleased!
Great food and service. Had a wonderful time. Go take your family and enjoy good food!
Great service with a smile. Drinks refilled and fresh hot food. The noise is a little loud but all Italian places are like that seats are comfy and prices are fair for the portions size and quality.
