Our casual restaurant has a retro contemporary theme which includes a carved wood bar topped with marble, granite table tops and bright turquoise and red accents flanking the wood-burning brick oven. Terrace seating is shared with our fine dining concept Bella Roma. Flavio, a third-generation chef from Venice, Italy, says his Farinata is not available anywhere else in the area. The thin pancake (much like a tortilla) is made of chickpeas, baked in the wood-burning oven and enhanced with rosemary and other savory toppings. Among Flavio's thin-crust pizzas (his grandfather's recipes) are the popular Quattro Stagioni (fresh mozzarella, mushrooms, prosciutto, olives) and the Pizza Vegetariana with assorted grilled veggies. The rustic bread and focaccia are made on the premises. Flavio's also serves up house-made pasta dishes, plus veal and seafood entrees. We look forward to serving you!

    My parents came from out of town and wanted to take my kids and me out and we alll loved our food. We have been many times but the menu changed a bit so we got to try some new food and it was fantastic. Highly recommend. Food is always good and service is always good as well. Unique menu items like Korean meatloaf

    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.

    Great food and ambiance. Service was a little slow, but Nick jumped in and did a great job in moving our meal delivery along. Tripletail entrees were delicious as were the bacon wrapped scallops and lobster bisque.

    We had another wonderful dining experience at Michael's on East, and because of the delightful weather we enjoyed our meal in the lovely outdoor atrium beneath the twinkling lights We decided on the monthly Epicurean menu, so this month we enjoyed menu options inspired by the cuisine of South Africa - what a treat! We always enjoy the regular menu options, but it is so special to be able to enjoy flavors from around the world as an alternative. The food, as always, was freshly prepared to order and every bite was delicious. The recommended wine pairings made the perfect match The service at Michael's on East is always wonderful, and this time was no exception - so many thanks to Freddy, Katie and the rest of the team for a wonderful service that added greatly to our enjoyment of the evening.
