    Absolutely one of my favorite places in Sarasota and beyond. Everything is made with love and tastes amazing. Plus it’s so cute inside and cozy. The owners are the best. And you can find unique things you never knew you would love and now can’t live without.

    I had the tris ravioli which was too rich. Expected dough to be lighter and sauces more delicate

    Based 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.
