Best KPortal Reviews
My first time there and this was a very pleasant surprise. Everything was first class from the service to the food to the great atmosphere. We shared a meal and had plenty even with the small share charge. I really liked their attention to detail from the servers and they were always there with multiple people taking care of you. Doesn't look like much from the outside but this is a top flight place to go to eat. Do it!
We came on a recommendation from a friend and she really was not mistaken, since we arrived the attention of our waitress Carly was always impeccable with a good recommendation and knowledge of the menu, the food was spectacular, my daughter ate some gnocchi and they were so good that she ate up to the “Literal” dish they are served in a bowl made of bread that was very good idea from the Chef, my wife ate a French Chicken with potatoes and spinach that I can’t explain how tasty it was, I ordered a lasagna that was for The dish that we came recommended, personally is one of the best I have tried in my life, everything was at its point cooked to perfection, the flavors impressive, my brother-in-law ordered the pasta sea food He felt that the seafood was fresh and the pasta at its correct point of cooking “Al Dente” I really congratulate the Chef because everything was Awesome . I recommend it 100%
Haven’t been here since the remodel but WOW! Looks GREAT!! The owners have done great things to the place! Had an awesome meal, great service by Josh and I forgot they have one of the best pizza/calzone makers ever! I can’t remember his name but he’s been there forever and does a really great job! My daughter had her very first Calzone and LOVED it! We will be back soon! Thanks Rob & crew!
What a great find. We wanted to have a quick bite to eat before the movies and found this very quaint but elegant place. Everyone was so nice, including the customers. Perhaps it was all the great wine being poured. ???? we had the Salmon Special, Lasagna and Chicken Parmigiano. Everyone said it was the best they have ever had. We will definitely be back!
After reading the reviews, we decided to check it out for ourselves. The bad reviews were so minimal that I thought, "they have to be good".
We walked in and immediately seated at whichever table we wanted. BTW this was today, Sunday, 7/9. When we were seated, our waiter came over, Wes, and immediately asked if we wanted a drink. I ordered a smoked old fashion. We ordered a bottle of red wine for dinner and had bottled water. Wes came within minutes with my drink and wine for the table.
Soon the appetizer of buarrata cheese salad came and it was delish! In the meantime, a basket of homemade focaccia bread was presented along with a small carafe of seasoned oil to dip in.
Our entrees were served, I had Veal Picotta and my husband had the special, spaghetti bolognese with sausage.
I noticed the pizza oven and mentioned to my husband he needed to go see. He did and then the owner came over and struck up a conversation with my husband. They talked about pizzas and having a home oven. We were eating our dinner when all of a sudden a cheese pizza shows up courtesy of Rob, the owner. We let it cool down, still hot from the fire roasted oven. So at that time we decided to save half of our dinner so we made room for the pizza. Glad we did, that was incredible.
Dinner was done and dessert time. Apparently they offer a complementary zepolies for dessert. We got that and I got an espresso.
All I can say is that from the beginning of walking into the restaurant, we had nothing but a great experience. Rob was very cordial and interested in our input.
Great time and food. We will definitely go back whenever we are in town. This is definitely THE ITALIAN RESTAURANT OF SARASOTA.
Nice atmosphere. Clean. The house dressing is homemade and delicious. Chick parm was thick and juicy; a nice size portion. Breading didn't fall apart. Pasta al dente. Plated nicely.
Changed hands last year and one of the chefs quit, taking the awesome, not overly garlicky, delicious sauce with them....
When greedflation took over, you guessed it: portion size got smaller. The pics depict pre-greedflation. Pasta, sauce, and of course cheese portions were noticeably smaller. Really guys?
Haven't returned. We don't like the new sauce and chicken Parm is all we eat. So, no point....not with all the choices nearby.
Gnocchi, Pizza, spag and meatballs all great. Service was awesome.
Delightful place for a nice meal, service was good, portions are more than enough. Every table that order seemed to get something different. I look forward to more meals.
