The Fountain Kitchen & Wine Bar

Picking up my to go order and having studied their website, the bruschetta was priced at $8.50. Picking up my order it was over $11.00 - hire someone to manage your website and keep it current. The bruschetta that I have had before with beautiful red tomatoes had small pieces of burnt toast and the palest tomatoes imaginable. We live in Florida and it’s summer where we have ripe tomatoes. I would be embarrassed to put the pale tomatoes on anything.

Food was amazing. Shrimp scampi was delicious. Tiny place but the outdoor area is probably awesome in the spring and summer.

Really wanted to love this place since such a unique setting and pretty outside. It’s a bit chaotic w not enough servers, no wait list and tables that don’t get cleared quickly. Overall service and wait time was disappointing. As for the food, pizzas have fresh ingredients and decent thin crust, but not excellent. Wine list very good.

The food is good but expensive. Service is slow and the wait is long. No A/C so pretty hot inside. Overall okay.

Just wish they'd use fresh mushrooms on their amazing pizza. It makes a world of difference.

It also makes a bit of a difference who's working because sometime they're an A and sometimes just a B

I just wish magnificent pizza artisans didn't cheap out on ingredients. Very little cheese, very little ricotta and mushrooms canned. But still the best fresh pizza in town!

Great place

The Fountain Kitchen & Wine Bar in Sarasota’s charming Burns Court is a hidden gem that delivers a memorable culinary experience. Their pizzas, crafted with thin, crispy crusts and fresh ingredients, are a standout. The Classic Margherita impresses with its simplicity, while the Truffle Shuffle adds an indulgent touch of gourmet flair.

The wine selection is equally remarkable, featuring carefully curated options that cater to both casual wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs. Whether you prefer a bold red or a crisp white, there’s something to perfectly complement your meal.

Dessert here is not an afterthought—it’s a highlight. The Key Lime Pie is nothing short of sublime, with a perfect balance of tart and sweet, and a buttery crust that melts in your mouth.

With its inviting ambiance and attention to detail, The Fountain Kitchen & Wine Bar is a must-visit for anyone exploring Sarasota’s dining scene.

Used to love their pizza, but they've gotten very chintzy with toppings, esp meat. Ordered green machine red which says it has sausage, I only found <four> tiny pieces of sausage, each one about 1/4 inch square. Seriously? For a $17 small pizza?! I'd already stopped ordering the bee sting after they cut way back on the amount of pepperoni. So I'm done with The Fountain.
