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.

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.

Service - beginning with the bartenders to our server, we were provided prompt and attentive service. Food - I had the tagliatelle Ragout. The entree was served hot and pasta was cooked perfectly.

Although the prices are a little higher than most (the appetizer menu is overpriced in my opinion and experience), the restaurant delivers a high quality experience
