We visited this restaurant for the second time because the space is really nice, but unfortunately…read morethe food didn't impress us. We started with the bread and ricotta, which was fine--pretty hard to go wrong there. For our main dishes, we ordered the chicken parmesan with pasta and an arugula salad. We specifically asked for no arugula salad, but it still came with it and looked quite unappetizing, almost wilted. The chicken itself was dry and had very little cheese, and the pasta with marinara sauce was underwhelming. We also ordered a side of spaghetti with Alfredo sauce, which unfortunately came out dry as well. Overall, the atmosphere is lovely, but the food didn't match the setting. Not sure if we would return.

Unfortunately the kitchen puts him ant the waiters in a very precarious position. The kitchen cannot handel the volume of takeout and restaurant customers. It took 50 min. To get a med pizza and a flatbread pizza. In addition, it seemed like our waitress was avoiding us because of the delay. (That just an opinion on my part.) FYI, we were not in a rush so we understood what was going on but there was a party of 7 behind us that were "hot" and giving that Maitre d' an ear full. He was good and handled the situation very professionally. Bottom line, great food nice people but the kitchen needs to make the restaurant people the priority not the takeout. It will be some time before we go back, but we will once this evening is foregotten. My recommendatin, great good, nice folks after that changes need to take place

Osteria 500 was a really nice lunch stop for us after a morning spent exploring Sarasota with the…read morekids. We had gone to a nearby park, walked around the lake, and ended up here on a Thursday around 12:15pm. It was pretty quiet, and we were seated right away. The kids wanted to sit inside since they were hot from being outside, though I would've preferred the covered patio--it looked really inviting. Service was very good. Our waiter was kind and attentive, and especially patient with the kids, which stood out in a good way. He took their orders directly and handled everything with a lot of care and politeness. The only real hiccup was with the kids' pizza. I asked if it was shareable or more personal-sized and was told it was small, but we ended up with two full-sized pizzas. Not a big deal at home, but while traveling it was a bit much to deal with leftovers. That said, the food was excellent. The bread was some of the best I've had--fresh, warm, and really memorable--and the olive oil and balsamic were just as good. I had the spaghetti with burrata, which was outstanding and a very generous portion. I ended up taking enough home for lunch the next day. The kids loved their pizza, and overall everything felt authentic and well done. I'd definitely recommend it and would go back.

We tried to get weekend reservations a few times but were always too late! Yesterday after golfing, I happened to check again and was so excited to finally secure a reservation. We were warmly greeted by Stefano, who checked in with us throughout the evening. Antonio was our bartender and server, and Andres kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes, even polishing wine glasses and keeping everything perfectly set and tidy. The menu features focaccia pizza, which looked amazing--we'll definitely try that next time with a group. They also offer a nice selection of wine and beer. Based on Antonio and Stefano's suggestions, we shared the Caesar salad and the chicken parm. They were absolutely right--both were delicious. Portions are very generous, and this would be a great place to return with friends and order several dishes to share family-style. The Caesar salad was hands-down one of the best we've ever had--very cold and crisp, with freshly made croutons and a perfectly balanced dressing that wasn't heavy at all. The chicken parm was massive--far larger than expected--and absolutely delicious. The sauce was outstanding. We can't say enough great things about both the food and the service. The passion of the team truly shines through, and it's clear that everyone--from the top down--takes pride in what they do. Thank you for a most memorable imeal. We're already looking forward to enjoying our leftovers tonight!
