"a small,charming family restaurant with delicious Italian food. we liked everything about this restaurant. came early, so it was very quiet, but remained so, even though almost full. the server and hostess were attentive and helpful to tell us about the many,varied specials. the food was served in time. we had a glass of wine, which was very good my friend and I shared the cuddles in weeping first excellent. I had linguini with muddles and tomats, which was also very good, like my friends branzino. Although full, we had to try the Dessert Special a lemon cake and were very glad that we were. it was, it was especially made! we have lived near for over 20 years in sarasota but have never heard of this restaurant. we are so happy that we have tried. we will return!"
