“Michelangelo Pizzeria Cucina isn't just a restaurant; it's a heartfelt family. I feel so profoundly grateful to this incredible establishment for the love and kindness they showed my son, Finn, during his time with them. From the moment he started working there, he was welcomed with open arms by the owner, the manager, and the entire staff. They treated him like one of their own, fostering an environment filled with camaraderie and joy. Finn cherished every moment of his time at Michelangelo's, especially as he worked his way up to the “slices” position from bussing tables. At just 19 years old, he had been working since he was 16, and of all the places he joined, this was where he truly felt at home. Their generosity was boundless—they consistently provided us with free food on multiple occasions, and their warm-heartedness shone brightly during Finn’s Memorial Celebration at Bayside when they offered us free food to honor his memory. It was these selfless acts that made an indelible mark on our hearts, showcasing the kind of extraordinary people they are. I’ll never forget the evening of August 6th, just three days before Finn passed. I had the privilege of watching him work while enjoying dinner with my daughter. Sitting in the booth, I observed him taking orders, pulling pizzas in and out of the brick oven, and calling out orders with such grace. The way he juggled so many tasks with a smile on his face filled me with pride. I even managed to sneak in a few pictures, moments I will forever treasure. Thank you, Michelangelo Pizzeria Cucina, for being the supportive family Finn needed in a workplace. Your kindness, generosity, and community spirit have touched our lives deeply. We will always hold you close to our hearts. With heartfelt gratitude, Kyra, Luke and Family”

“My favorite place to eat shrimp 🍤 crabs 🦀 stone crabs steamed clam an oysters 🦪 I go there at least twice a month or more”

“Inkawasi has became a favorite of ours. Every time we walked by since moving here a couple years ago we’d remind ourselves to try it. Once we did, we wish we went sooner! Always fresh, delicious & great gluten friendly options. After another amazing meal tonight I promised myself I’d write a review. Perfect meal from the sangria to a surf & turf special with the best fire roasted veggies & we shared the passion fruit pudding for dessert. And our server was amazing! Can’t say enough about it, we’ll be back soon!”

“We sat outside on their patio for Saturday brunch, we were eight plus a toddler. They had a great brunch menu in addition to the very French regular breakfast/lunch menu. Avocado toast, crepes, fried potatoes, side salads, mimosas, delicious coffees, Aperol spritz- all very good. The waiter was very helpful with the menu items and service was quick. Patio tables were moved around to accommodate our group size. No reservations, no wait either.”

“prime rib special was delicious. reservations were at 6:15. it was so loud in the restaurant we couldn't talk to our friends at the table next time, I'm eating outside Then a couple came in with a southeastern guide dog who laid down by my leg I really didn't appreciate this since I am not a dog lover and it is an expensive place to eat.”

“Great food..... great staff......great atmosphere!!! If you have any food allergies, the wait staff is very well trained to ensure your needs are met. LOVE the smash burger-gluten free buns are available......the beet salad is divine!! Very ample dessert selections-including homemade ice cream!! You will not be disappointed!!”

“Great coffee, great service, and they let me hang my art! :)”

“Heather, at the River Club Grill & Bar, served us the best buffalo wings this side of buffalo! They are really the best, in Sarasota/Bradenton! Meaty, saucy, and cooked perfectly! Do not change a thing 😊 The beef nachos were delicious too! Great service and affordable eats. Can't wait for our next visit!”

“Fresh, healthy options & 🤤 delicious!!!!”

“Loved visiting this location. I was greeted with friendly smile and they made sure my order was to the perfection. Atmosphere is very inviting, has a cozy cafe’ feel to it. Few people were playing games over some delicious coffee, that inspired me to try to do the same sometimes with my friends. This is my favorite third place now.”

“I was at the University and Lockridge Rd. Location today around 1:00 pm. As soon as I walked in the door I noticed it smelled fresh and clean. I was immediately greeted with a smile and welcome by both employees. My smoothie was delicious as always with all my customizations made perfectly. The store was bright and clean and very relaxing. I noticed every person that came in was greeted and told they were appreciated. It was a very nice experience. Stephanie and Faith were a good team.”

“Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere, been on vacation in LWR for 21 days and eaten here 16 times 💪”

“Excellent food and team! Friendly service.”

“This is a pizza place that's just down the street from where I live and these guys offered the best service and each time I go they welcomed me like family I got help last time by Jason and you can tell that he has so much passion for his customers and then tonight I got helped by a lady who can tell also has a strong passion for her customers making them feel very welcome this is the place I will definitely come back again”

“Have the ham and cheese with a strawberry lemonade. Both were very good. However, there is literally two of the thinnest pieces of ham on the sandwich. I'm glad I came home and added to it, however, the bread was great. The location is not quite as clean as it should be. Look up in the open rafters and there's dust everywhere. The person who took my order was extremely friendly and helpful.”

“Thank you, Grove, for a wonderful breakfast celebrating our friend! You graciously accommodated about 28 of us for an early Sunday morning brunch, and we truly appreciated the extra touches you provided for our group. The food was delicious, and Danielle did a fabulous job taking care of us and supporting her co-workers. Jennifer, the manager was very helpful! :)”
