I tried a sample of their non-vegan pistachio & it was too sweet, did not like it but if you like pistachio flavor strong, this might tickle your fancy.

They have very few seats inside but much more seating outside! Parking is not plenty in front of the business but it's not far from the public parking at the Village.

Small and busy, I would recommend getting a reservation. I checked out their menu earlier in the day and was very much looking forward to trying their Pappardelle, Funghi e Salsiccia, a sausage and mushroom pasta dish with a creamy panna sauce. I was not disappointed. In fact, I found my food absolutely delicious. I loved the mushrooms, the sausage, and the sauce really tied it all together. Service was fine, maybe just a little slow at the end getting the bill, but we were in no hurry. Very helpful, one person in our group had some dietary restrictions which were accommodated.

A nice finish in Siesta Village…read more After enjoying dinner in Siesta Village, we headed out for some dessert. Both at St Armands and Siesta Village, there is no shortage of ice cream and gelato places. Each has their very popular spot, at St Armands it is Kilwin's, in the village it is Big Olaf. Yet, there are other choices, and we headed to one. We discovered Stefano Versace Gelato is now in the spot previously occupied by Ciao Gelato. They have been open for about 3 months, offering not only gelato, but also coffee, smoothies, and more. We were there for the gelato. While Big Olaf looked busy, there was no line at SVG. I liked the colorful display of various gelatos. Some of the names were in Italian, the helpful counter person interpreting a few for us. Both the brownish gelatos looked like coffee flavor, but neither was. That's ok, I pivoted to bright white and got their coconut gelato. The coconut was definitely coconut, with pieces of coconut like grit throughout the gelato. That threw off the smooth texture I expected, but it was still good. They do not have much in the way of seating, counter seats running along a couple of walls. We also thought the cost was a little high. There are a handful of parking spots in front, shared with other businesses. Good luck scoring a spot.

The lady who worked there was kind and helpful. I thought it was a bit strange that they didn't have an option for getting one scoop. So my friend and I split the two scoop deal and she put a scoop in separate cups for us. I was a bit surprised that they didn't have a very big selection of flavors. They have other stuff though, such as; coffee, smoothies, and juice. It's located in a good spot to walk up to after a long day at the beach, or if you have a Sweet tooth.
