Best Restaurants for Groups in Siesta Key

Cafe Gabbiano was delightfully cozy, with wonderful cuisine and excellent service. The veal scallopini in the veal Momma Lucia was tender and delicious. Two of us shared a Caesar salad that was fresh and perfectly prepared. When the staff was informed that we had a time constraint, the expertly but comfortably accelerated our service, without rushing our meal. We will definitely return when dining in Sarasota.

The food was spectacular and we will be back. Crispy Octopus, open faced lamb pita, bangers and mash and a whole head of roasted cauliflower with truffle and bacon! Sorry we don’t go downtown more often but this is definitely a great reason to go back! 0ur server was wonderful and the drinks were great as well! Easy parking. Can’t say enough great things! Thanks for a great night out!

The food and ambience were top notch, however, our server, Lucy, was the best part of our night. She was kind, informative and extremely accommodating! We had the most amazing dinner and even better service and we cannot wait to come back!!

It’s always a pleasure to dine at Selva Grill - either location. The service was outstanding, the food excellent, the value perfect. I always will highly recommend.

What most distinguished our experience was our waitress Alyssa, who outperformed. I’ve been a server in the best restaurants in Santa Fe and Boston and can say that she was excellent, thoughtful, and knowing. It was also nice that Kaitlen checked on us and made sure we were happy. Food was terrific and the wine deal for lunch is unbeatable. Also, Alyssa was perfectly charming.
