    We were seated right on time at our reservation. We were greeted warmly by our server Joanie and she gave us time to look at the menu after telling us about the specials for the evening. The ambience was very nice people dressed up a bit more due to the Christmas holidays. The noise level was low to medium, which allowed for a good conversation. I had the special for the night for the Casio de Pepe and a good glass of quilted Cabernet. I’ve been there before and they’re happy hours are awesome as well. We’ll be back !!!

    We dined at Coopers Hawk Winery & Restaurant for my birthday celebration. Our Waitress, Paula, was very helpful, since it was our first time at Coopers Hawk, with choosing our wine, dinner and surprised us with a delightful birthday truffle dessert. We had the steak medallion lunch and it was tender, cooked to our request and delicious. We will be back to Coopers Hawk.

    The food at Pietro's is always so delicious that we keep returning time after time and year after year. The daily specials offer an interesting variety of options...LOVE all of the pasta dishes! Wine selection is terrific and the staff are always willing to give recommendations . The new location is a bit small, but very cozy. The owners, Pietro and Susan, are wonderful humans. Kudos to all of the staff: EVO, Wendy, Johanna, and Alejandro! A must go to in Sarasota!
