   While we have had many excellent meals at this restaurant, this last one was a huge disappointment. One of the many charms of this restaurant has been its European style and approach to dining. This last time, however, we had a waiter we'd never had before (Gregorio) and his behavior ruined the evening for the four of us. We were continuing to enjoy our second bottle of wine and conversation after we'd finished our meal, but we were constantly interrupted by the waiter asking if we wanted to order something else. He then whispered to the busboy who began trying to clear glasses although we were still drinking our wine. Finally, the waiter whispered to the gentleman in our group that we should vacate the table as there were people waiting for that table. It was evident there were not a lot of people waiting and there were various other tables of similar size available. We left with a bad taste in our mouths and have eliminated this restaurant from our "favorites" list. Not an inexpensive meal by Italian restaurant standards around here but previously worth it for the food, ambiance and European style service. No longer and what a shame!

   Absolutely one of my favorite places in Sarasota and beyond. Everything is made with love and tastes amazing. Plus it’s so cute inside and cozy. The owners are the best. And you can find unique things you never knew you would love and now can’t live without.
