First time trying the restaurant even though we love Italian. I got the meatballs and the shrimp fra diavolo. My wife got a mushroom truffle pasta dish. She thought her dish was going to be really rich but said it wasn't super flavorful. My dish wasn't really spicy and the shrimp were somewhat mushy. So overall the food was just ok. Our service was great and very attentive. Atmospheric was ok and filled with an older crowd that was somewhat loud.
We were put in a corner and forgotten. Took almost two hours to eat and the food was very bland. We could not get our waiter attention all night. In their defense it was Saturday night and they were very busy. Just very disappointed after looking forward to our meal. We had been there prior and had a good experience.
Italian charm, cuisine, and its reputation for artistic expression have come to Sarasota. We were so glad to see this gem doing so well. Word of mouth has generated a growing faithful following for this treat to the senses. I can't believe it hasn't been featured in the Sarasota Herald Tribune.
