One of the absolute best places in Sarasota for people who like to eat clean and healthy. They give full transparency to what is in their dishes on the menu and cater to many different types of diets. Plus, it’s delicious. Service is always great and we never have to wait very long for food even when it’s busy. Very cute little cozy café vibes.

This was the fifth time we had dinner at Ophelia’s and it was awesome as always. The staff is so friendly and helpful, everything was timed perfectly. I had the best duck ever and my wife had lobster risotto that was amazing. It’s so good they were able to recover from the recent hurricanes! We will be back soon.

The food and service are outstanding. They are by far the best value in Sarasota....3 courses for less than $40 for great food is crazy good. We have always received great, attentive service whether we were outside on their patio or inside.

The 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 … shhh
