Best Cozy Restaurants in Lake Sarasota

It was very busy, so it was a little loud for the older people in our group to be able to hear. However, very nice atmosphere and surroundings. Our overall experience was "good" based on the wait staff was good, but not exceptional. IE: the waitress spilled our over-filled drink on the table when she delivered it and didn't brink beverage napkin, we waited a too long for empty glasses or dishes to be cleared, etc. Not enough to deter us from coming back! The food was exceptional.

Enjoyed our dining experience. Great service, food and overall pleasant surroundings. Will return -for sure!

Great food and fun, had a combination meal for 2.

Pietro’s relocated restaurant (from his former restaurant on S. Tamiami Trail) is beautiful with wine shelfs, pictures and small ceiling lights adding eloquently to a great dining experience. The lamb chops were especially outstanding, and the eggplant parmigiana was very good. The entire layout of the dining room is tastefully done showing off the designer talents of his wife, Susan.

Outside much more pleasurable/relaxd than in…salmon filets were very nice - size/thickness…great presentation/flavour and price. Very attentive service.
