Restaurants in Lakewood Ranch

“Hubby had the cod, ff and coleslaw. The cod was perfectly breaded very lightly, the french fries yummy and we never got to the coleslaw (taking home leftovers). I had the shrimp scampi fettuccine, in butter sauce – Yum! The bread with the oil dip was wonderful. I highly recommend this place and wish they were much closer to where I live (SRQ airport-could replace Primos! I’m just suggesting).”

“This is one of our favorite Thai food restaurants in the area. The coco soup is amazing. Very gluten free friendly. Authentic and delicious. Love the drunken noodles and chicken pad Thai.
Not a fan on their fresh rolls.”

“Food was great,but...The napkins were the worst smelling napkins I've ever come across,they literally smelled like a hospital gown”

“Celebrated my parents 50th wedding anniversary there last night. It was a wonderful experience between the beautiful interior, flavorful meals, great wine list ,sever Joe (Giuseppe) was very attentive along with sommelier pouring our wine. To finish the night we met the proprietor, Luca…so nice and oddly enough shared memories of his town in Sicily near where we are from. We will be back!! Grazie a tutti!”

“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”

“Amazing. Go to France. Or just stop in C’est La Vie. You will be transported. Act accordingly”

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

“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! :)”

“It is a very friendly environment and the smoothies were made how I expected, Kyle was very informative with my questions making it easy to decide and not feel pressured”

“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!”

“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.”

“My cousin and her husband visited me and we had such a great time! The food was awesome and the service was excellent. The place got packed and it was really a fun time! We also met the new Manager and he is delightful!”

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

“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 💪”

“Maddy, Maya and Jacob were all fantastic! Fresh salads, delicious fruit, amazing hospitality - a little slice of NJ here in FL. gotta love it! I know my kids and I do!”

“First time eater after seeing a few YouTuber videos. We got medium (8 smaller slices) bacon, chicken, white sauce, onion and tomato. Original crust, with crust Roma seasoning. Tasted fresh, cooked perfect. One person working managing all the roles but handled it all very well! Kudos. I grew up in pizza restaurant so cost, I consider expensive but comparing it to Papa John’s and etc .. Marcos is much better quality and maybe $2 less.”

“Excellent food and team! Friendly service.”

“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! :)”
