    What a treat! I was in town to visit family and they invited me to dinner at their favorite regular haunt. I couldn't have been more impressed with this restaurant. They are committed to authentic Bologna-style cooking and it shows. No Olive Garden style sauces here! We ordered Caprese as an appetizer. The homemade mozzarella was delicious. All the herbs are grown on the premises and the basil and balsamic were great quality. No sad large leaves or wimpy vinegar here. I ordered the maccheroni verdi in a pink sauce. The other guests had the tagliatelle with bolognese and tortellini with bolognese. All pasta is made on the premises and it was prepared to complete perfection. I tried a bit of every dish and can emphatically recommend them all. The staff are amazing and they seem to really make an effort to get to know their patrons. A few tips: -Definitely make a reservation -Trust their judgement on the wine

    Way Too Expensive for Very Small Portions. Yes it's authentic but we where very disappointed. It should be $$$$ Not $$. Very limited menu.

    The food is very good and the potions are average but it is expensive. It is easy to get to and the restaurant is beautiful. I would go back for maybe a birthday or celebration.

    We love this place, even in the new location which is a lot less convenient than when they were in Sarasota! This is always a regular stop for us because we love the fresh-made pastas and sauces...my favorite being the tagliatelle with a very rich bolognese ragu. All their pastas are great and very light on its feet...you won't find the heavy sauces here. Can't comment on their meat dishes since we only come for their pastas. They have a great selection of prosciutto and cheeses, which you can purchase to-go. I also loved the olive oil and balsamic vinegar with their breads - the vinegar is DOP! Someone commented on the menus having no prices - it's very traditional for some restaurants to do this still, but the prices are listed generally on the gentleman's menu. I love the staff and owners - super-friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. Ambiance is nice and very civilized!

    Although the food was excellent the portions are small and prices large. Service was a little slow but wait staff very friendly and accommodating.

    Run. Don't walk... Go now. East everything with truffles. It's the most amazing authentic Italian... The staff is outstanding, and the owners are a delight.

    Awesome food with great presentation. Service was exceptional. Great recommendations. The main reason I didn't give them 5 stars was no prices on the menu (folks don't like to ask). Portions were a little small for the price, especially dessert. But overall a great evening, authentic tasting food with fresh ingredients, may consider coming back for a special occasion. Would recommend a prix fixe menu option.

    I had done the first review for the Cafe in this location. This make our fourth visit I wish they would open a branch in Cape Coral. We stop for lunch after a 9 month absence due to Bariatric surgery. This place is fantastic, we were not disappointed.. The menu has changed for lunch but they accommodated us by making a favorite appetizer Bresaola and Burrata not on the lunch menu. The pasta was homemade Tagliatelle with shrimp and orange sauce. The dessert my wife selected was Tiramisu very light and very good.They allowed us to share both the appetizer, pasta and dessert. I was able to consume a half portion of appetizer and pasta and it was the best meal I've had since my surgery. The food is fresh and the wait staff (Dimitri) was friendly, accommodating, timely and professional. In a couple of words "This is Italian" The do need to update their daytime signage, from the road and even in the 1st parking slot we could not tell the Cafe was open.

    Great Italien homemade food. My favorite dish is the Caprese and any pasta with their tasty bolognese sauce. In fact everything on the menu is truly outstanding. Great service and nice wine selection. My favorite restaurant in the Sarasota area.

    We had lunch here for the first time today. Everything was very good, and our server was very helpful and made excellent recommendations. While there we looked at the Dinner menu and the Wine list. Both contain some our favorites. We will be back soon.

    Simply delightful! Every bite was delicious and thoughtfully created. It feels like you are dining at a family table with every detail attended to with love. We had several pasta dishes and eggplant too. The starters were simple ingredients with homemade flare. I loved having the kitchen visible to the dining room and watching the care and fresh ingredients put into a perfect symphony of flavors to satisfy the most discerning palate. Lovely Italian wine list too. This gem of a restaurant is just what Sarasota has needed.

The bologonese sauce perfect and the pasta makes me want to go back to Italy~will go back. Only 8minutes from Siesta Key and so worth the drive. Go Go Go! You will not be disappointed!

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
