    As always, a wonderful dining experience. Our waitress, i think her name may have been Avely, was amazing. We were impressed with how quickly this restaurant recovered after the recent hurricanes. We loved the mojitos made tableside, and as always, their salad was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant for both the food and amazing service!!

    We absolutely love this place. The chef is very talented and skilled. Their soup, we've had several different soups there and they are always outstanding. Tonight I had the seafood stew and everything was cooked to perfection. My wife also enjoyed her veal raviolis. Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in Venice

    Ophelia’s was fabulous as usual! We have never had anything but fabulous food, wonderful service & a beautiful outdoor dining experience! This is our favorite restaurant in the Sarasota area and possibly just our favorite restaurant period. Chris provided wonderful service tonight and our meal was timed perfectly by him so that we could enjoy every aspect of it! An overall beautiful dining experience!
