Maybe I am spoiled with authentic AVPN pizza back home in Plymouth, MI at Pizza e Vino, but this pizza didn’t meet the mark for Neapolitan pizza. It was undercooked and the middle 1/3 of the pie was soupy, and the crust was still doughy. Next time I’m in Sarasota area for work I will continue my search for an authentic Neapolitan pizza!

Table of 8 with reservations
. 15 minutes for drinks
35 minutes later we finally got to order.
Appetizers came out with dinner, except for my pasta dinner he forgot. He rushed it out so I could have undercooked pasta.
Service was okay but slow and screwed up.
Food is normally good, but it wasn’t tonight.

nothing like sitting in an Italian restaurant like a family style and literally hear people having conversation in Italian. two tables over pointing fingers and sharing pizza and having a great time.. the food was phenomenal. you have to try the baked oysters.. next time that's going to be my meal alone, but the seafood pasta dish even my Nona would approve.. the service was great. we sat outside. got to talk to a few other patrons. the only thing that I didn't like...
