The Original Wolfie's Restaurant, Deli & The Rascal House Bar is a New York-style Jewish deli in Sarasota. They're known for classic deli fare like pastrami, Reuben sandwiches, matzo ball soup, potato pancakes, stuffed cabbage, and famous cakes like the Rascal House chocolate cake. The vibrant deli is filled with Broadway & celebrity memorabilia. It is a modern revival of a classic deli with full-service dining, a lively bar, and both indoor & outdoor seating, As a child, a highlight of visiting, my grandparents was getting online at Wolfie's in Miami Beach. The original, iconic Wolfie Cohen's Rascal House and Wolfie's Delicatessen in Miami Beach & Sunny Isles closed in 2008. The original Miami Beach locations were famous landmarks for 50 years before closing. We almost missed the deli. It's sort of around the corner in a little alleyway. We walked in past the bakery, deli meats, salads, and desserts before getting to the maître D. Danielle waited on us, she was informative and on point. We shared a pastrami on Rye and a potato knish. It was a lot of memorabilia inside as well as a full bar. We sat outdoors. It was a beautiful afternoon. Our potato knish was large. It was enough for two of us, a little cold in the middle. Our pastrami sandwich was too big to fit in my mouth, the meat was a little dry and tough. The dessert we ordered 4 Rugelach that tasted more like cake. I'm glad we shared because this would've been much too much to eat on my own. There seem to be confusion between our waitress and the kitchen, either they brought out something that we didn't order or nothing came out and Danielle thought we were serve served. Our shared dinner was reasonable, $40 for the both of us.

Everything was yummy. Cute ambience, very much a classy upscale 50's style deli. Remember if you…read morewant a kids cheeseburger you should ask for cheese for the kids burger. (Mind you it does say hamburger so that was our fault). My Reuben was delicious. I am a picky Reuben eater, the marble rye was butter/flat top toasted (a nice crunch) with fresh corned beef, Swiss, dressing and I enjoyed the pickle on it. The right amount of everything. Our server was polite, and on top of everything. We suck and didn't catch his name (our fault not his), younger guy with a bald head, Monday lunch closer. Thanks for taking care of us and 3 little kids. The closing host was also awesome noticing that my kids loved the wiki stix and gave us more to take home. Thanks

Beautiful place. When you walk in it feels like you are going to have the most amazing meal ever…read more We both selected the PAM breakfast. One was ordered as is and it was rated 7 out of 10. OUCH The other PAM was modified and I rated this one the same. Another OUCH I wanted so much to love this place but when you're eating your meal and thinking my OJ at home is sooo much better than this one. I wonder how long this bacon has been sitting around because it's dry and tough? THAT's NOT GOOD. Food should taste fresh as though it was just made, FOR ME. This food was not. It lacked flavor was not very warm and again did not express freshness. Bagel was also just okay. No where near a New York Bagel. Overall for a restaurant to be memorable each individual item has to be the best. This results in a total amazing meal. This meal unfortunately was not amazing just Okay. What was good? Glad you asked. Coffee was warm & tasted good. Extra points for providing real cream on the side. Love that! It's a great touch! The cream cheese was excellent. Service was also good. I think this place has great potential but definitely needs a new chef with more upscale, fresh ideas.

The place was packed with shelves of pasta and breads. Very well decorated and clean. A few Nice tables to stop and eat at. Felt like home. I was coming to buy some cold cuts but walked out with much more. They have a great deli for Italian subs (I bought one with hots on fresh bread. Yum). They make very good pizza (bought a slice;). That what I came here for. But I could not stop there. I saw homemade pastry. The lady who was a baker was so proud of her food I figured had to be good. Can you say sfogliatele? You should learn because this was one of the best I have ever had. Flaky buttery with great yellow cream filling. So fresh. Excellent. Then on way out I grabbed 1/2 dozen taralle. And a dry sausage (I have not eaten yet!!). The taralle were awesome. Didn't make the car ride home. I find out The family are Italians from Montreal. Very nice, proud people. Old school passion for their craft. 5 stars.

The food was amazing, but I think more care needs to go into service. You can't really waitress and have to do the deli at the same time.
