- SsilvioVIPChicago / Illinois •9 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis is one of our favorite places to go when we are in Sarasota. They have a friendly welcoming staff that makes you feel like family. For wine we love Fratelli Vogadori, Forlag, Amerone, and highly recommended it. It’s not earthy like some Amerones. Very good. We start with burrata and prosciutto appetizer and the insulate arucola salad. They offer a fresh bread that is hard to pass up. We had the lasagna alla bolognese that has a béchamel cream in its layers-yum! Pappardelle alla bolognese, and Pappardelle Funghi e Salsiccia. We don’t do the sea food due to a table allergy. The staff are always friendly and take great care to make sure you’re happy and having a great time. Sometimes they have a singer and that adds a layer of fun.More infoLa Dolce Vita Authentic Italian CuisinePrice: Expensive• Italian• Sarasota•4.9

- EElizabethNew Orleans / Louisiana •5 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoReally great food selection here. We sat outside and we were there early enough for half priced wine which was great. Service was nice, but I think our server was a little young and shy. Didn’t really provide a lot of details, but was still a very nice server. I’m probably being overly picky with that. Highly recommend! We will be back.🔙More info1592 Wood Fired KitchenPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Sarasota•4.6
