“JD is awesome! He always has a friendly welcoming smile on his face at drive thru! Recognizes his customers and provides great customer service! Truly a great person and it shows how hard of a worker he is and really invests in his job! Way to go!“

“The food is incredible. This is last nights dinner being enjoyed for breakfast. Shrimp fajitas! I sub the corn tortillas for flour, and at home this morning, I added sautéed mushrooms and Greek yogurt to sub sour cream. The birria tacos, chicken quesadillas, Reynas plate, suedero taco’s, chicken tacos, and fish tacos are all delicious. We add all the hot sauces and smokey salsa. Diana is probably the biggest treat of all. She’s upbeat, helpful, explains the specials throughly and will make you smile for sure. Be sure to tip her well, as she works hard! Thanks Diana for being awesome. Sitting outside enjoying beautiful Sarasota weather while dining on fantastic food with my hubby and laughing and making a friend! Love this place. ❤️“

“The food is good and for the price it’s really good. Happy hour drinks are real and the prices are great. The service is down to earth, very attentive and efficient. All of the staff are friendly. The place is A little tacky but they know that and it’s ok. We go a couple times a month. It can be very busy at times but that’s what happens when something is good.“

“D’Corato Ristorante is absolutely the best Italian place ever and is a hidden gem! From the warm atmosphere to the superior service, this place knocks it out of the park. Every meal I have had there has been amazing! The precious family who owns this restaurant goes above and beyond every time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“By far my favorite place to get a decent bowl of pho in Bradenton. Clean, affordable, nice staff and overall delicious. We always leave full and satisfied.Favorites: chicken pho, shrimp spring rolls, shrimp noodle bowl, and grilled chicken rice plate. ♥️“

“My other and I like to go to Olive Garden closer to where he lives in Sarasota. We decided not to cook this year for Easter and go out to eat, so we chose Olive Garden before he had to go to work overnight that night. They were, of course, busy, but we didn't have too much of a wait, maybe 20 minutes, as they took your number once greeted at the door for seating purposes. I used to remember getting our names called out, or they had the pagers that went off to let you know your table is ready back then. Nowadays, I guess everyone has a cell phone and uses your phone number to be seated now once the text went through. Anyhow, we asked to see if we could wait at the bar to at least order our drinks and was lucky to be served in a timely manner as busy as they were for Easter. Once seated when text came through, we sat a table near the bar and didn't have to move far. We got to keep the same waitress who was quick and new what she was doing. Once the order went through, the manager came out to some of the tables to explain the Meat Lasagna, which my other ordered was not ready yet and apologized for the delay and will comp our desserts for us. I ordered the Chicken Marcella Fettuccine, which was very rich and filled with lovely portions of mushrooms. Once we had our desserts ordered, we decided to take to go since we both were full, especially since we had the salad and breadsticks to start off. We always love coming to this location in Sarasota, Florida, so we will definitely be back. And they gave us our mints on the way out...those are always refreshing after dinner. I just wish our kind waitress at the bar could have gotten more help on a busy holiday weekend for a Sunday. Like she said, we all had some good entertainment that night, a dinner and a show!“
