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.

I kind of knew that I would not be disappointed... I wasn't. We made reservations and were sat immediately upon arriving. The entire restaurant was clean and organized and very well maintained. We were greeted with a smile and welcomed in and brought to our table immediately. We chose to sit outside as the weather was perfect for outdoor dining. Serve server, Lissete immediately greeted us and helped us walk through the drink menu. We both chose the 'shogun' drink, which but their version not fat. The drink was absolutely delicious and flavorful and reflected its a menu description perfectly. I don't want to say that the menu was overwhelming, but every description of every item was appealing. I will not go into detailed descriptions of our menu items as their descriptions were very well defined on the menu. Everything we ordered was both picture perfect and absolutely delicious. We ordered the following items: Pork Belly Skewers Gali Rib Skewers Duo Tartar GO Roll Hachi Roll Every item was absolutely delicious but, would I order it again? Probably not as these items were so awesome that I would have to try new items every time I go back or another visit. I will again say that our server Lissete, it's probably one of the best servers I have ever had before. She was personal, professional, assisted us with the menu, get back with us after every plate and overall treated us as if we were honored guests in her home.

We arrived around 6:30 and were seated right away in a comfortable booth. The decor in the dining room was really pretty and my husband and I noticed the cool agave inspired lamps right away. Our server greeted us as soon as we sat down with water and chips and salsa. The chips had a great seasoning on them that made them stand out from other Mexican restaurants. The salsa had great flavor. Since the basket of chips was so large we ordered queso as well and were very impressed at the size of it as well as the flavor. For our dinner I got the birria tacos and my husband got the steak tacos. Both dishes were delicious, my birria tacos were huge and very filling and his steak tacos were full of flavor. We were mid meal saying that we were already looking forward to coming back with friends. The drinks were good, the food was good and the service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back for more delicious food and drinks.
