- BBrianVIPTampa / Central Florida West •2 reviews5.0Dined todayCafe Gabbiano is our go-to restaurant on Siesta Key. Tucked away in the corner of a shopping area, we’re always greeted by friendly staff who always seat us at our before our reserved time. Our waitstaff has always been friendly, attentive and a pleasure to speak with. They have a large selection of wine, and the bartenders serve excellent mixed drinks. The selections of appetizers, to salads, entrees, to deserts provides an experience for even picking eaters (like our kids). We’ve tried many of their selections and while we have our favorites, we’ve never experienced a bad meal. My favorite, bruschetta for an appetizer, truffle ravioli for the main course and a chocolate martini for the closer.More infoCafe GabbianoPrice: Moderate• Italian• Siesta Key•4.8
- MMargaretTampa / Central Florida West •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoAs always, La Dolce Vita serves fresh, authentic and delicious Italian food. From the moment you walk through the door until the time you leave you will not be disappointed. Tina‘s limoncello is the best we have ever had.More infoLa Dolce Vita Authentic Italian CuisinePrice: Expensive• Italian• Sarasota•4.9
- LLeeVIPTampa / Central Florida West •135 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoBased on reviews and having to book more than a week in advance, we accepted an early reservation and are so glad we did. I consider La Violetta to be in the top three restaurants in Sarasota after dining there just this one time. Exceptional dishes for us were the ravioli osso buco and the sardine appetizer. Our server Frederico was exceptional. We'll be back.More infoLa Violetta RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Italian• Sarasota•4.8

- LLarryGreater Boston •11 reviews5.0Dined on 12 Dec 2024The food was amazing ! We started with sardine which were perfectly prepared - light, flakey and flavorful. My wife had the grouper with mussels special, which she loved and I had the paella - simply fantastic ! We tried Sardinian wine for the first time. I highly recommend you try it. Antonio was out server. He was a delight! Attentive, engaging and a pleasure to talk with about his career in the restaurant biz. At Antonio’s recommendation, we will be back to try the veal chop. Sardinia is a hidden gem … shhhMore infoSardinia SarasotaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Sarasota•4.7
