We normally love Joey D's Chicago Style Eatery & Pizzeria in Venice, so we were excited to try the…read moreSarasota location. Unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing. Our biggest issue was the pizza. We ordered a thin crust sausage and mushroom, and it came out extremely soggy -- so much so that you couldn't pick up a slice. It had to be eaten with a fork and knife because it was essentially sauce on a soft, limp crust. The mushrooms also seemed like they may have been canned and not fully drained, which only added to the excess moisture. It definitely did not resemble a Chicago-style thin crust. Service was also lacking. We didn't receive drink refills and waited quite a while for the check. Given how much we enjoy the Venice location, this experience was surprising and disappointing. Sadly, we won't be returning to this location.

My family and I recently dined here and unfortunately left disappointed. We waited about 30 minutes…read morefor our food, which seemed unusual given that the restaurant was not particularly busy. From our table, I could actually see my chicken sandwich sitting in the service window for quite some time before it was finally brought out. When the food arrived, the sandwich, fries, and cheese were all cold. I politely asked for the meal to be remade and inquired whether it would take another 30 minutes. Our server said they would get it out quickly and explained that they were busy. However, looking around the dining room, there were only a handful of occupied tables and two servers working. Several nearby tables were simply having drinks, so it was difficult to understand the delay. What was most disappointing wasn't even the cold food--it was the lack of acknowledgment. A simple apology or some communication about the delay would have gone a long way toward improving the experience. I understand that servers aren't responsible for cooking the food, but they do pass the service window regularly. If food has been sitting under the heat lamps for several minutes waiting on other items, someone should be checking on it or having it remade before it reaches the customer. We were hoping to add this restaurant to our list of regular dining spots, but based on this visit, it unfortunately didn't make the cut.

Service is great, we have had the same male server the past two times we have been there. Not pictured is their key lime pie, which is my favorite in town! Crust is not too dense and the key lime is the perfect flavor of tarte and a little sweet. They have indoor seating in the dining room, bar seating and outdoor seating. I enjoy the outdoor seating the best when the weather is not too hot. Now that we have a baby the stroller fits better at the outdoor table. We come here every time we are in town and will always return.

I called Parrish Well Drilling and Tonya was super helpful in getting us scheduled. She was able to get someone out the next day! Christian and Chris did a very through diagnostics review of our entire system working from the power switch all the way to the well pump. Christian explained every step in an easy-to-understand manner, and as I learned he has a wealth of knowledge in wells and water. They were thoughtful about where they drove the truck to access the well pump and swept the yard to ensure they picked up all the old parts. I highly recommend Parrish Well Drilling. In an time where excellent service is a hard to come by, Parrish Well Drilling gets 5 stars from start to finish!

The Italian staff (speaking Italian and carrying themselves in that effortless European way) make the experience feel authentic, not staged. The interconnected dining rooms are beautifully designed -- a refreshing change from the typical one-room Sarasota setup. The food was outstanding from start to finish. Complimentary frittata to begin, delicious bread with olive tapenade (would've loved it slightly more toasted, but minor detail). The carbonara on fried bread with guanciale was a WOW dish -- crispy, rich, unforgettable. The duck lasagna special was mind-blowing with clearly homemade pasta, and the short rib with polenta was fall-off-the-bone tender (a touch more sear would've made it perfect). Panna cotta to finish? Incredible. Old Fashioned was a bit sweet for me, but the martini and Sangiovese were spot on. We will absolutely be back. A true escape to Italy right here in Sarasota.

Also had the shrimp with black bean sauce and it was definitely very basic. Service was still pretty good. Food definitely not what it used to be to be.
