    We received a warm welcome when we arrived at Mediterraneo, we were shown to a lovely, comfortable table, and our waitress was fabulous. We all enjoyed our food and her suggestion for wine was perfect. I love their veal chop Milanese and my brother had the Oso Buco and the other guest had the Fish special and loved it We topped it off with the profiteroles. Don’t miss an evening at Mediterraneo

    Popped in for just the cheese and chocolate fondue and it was delicious! We had a meeting to get to so they quickly set up the cheese course and had the chocolate brought out shortly after we finished our cheese. Definitely recommend the dark chocolate cookies and cream dessert fondue- it was fantastic. Would definitely go back to this location- could not have asked for a better experience.

    We've e been going to Bavaro's in Sarasota for more than 2 years, rarely missing a Friday night. Bavaro's is our go-to for the best wood-fired pizza you will find. In addition, they serve delicious pasta dishes, with all of their pasta made in house. So fresh! Chicken parm was added to their menu list year and it is a real hit. The atmosphere is friendly, the servers are amazing, and we've even had the pleasure of sitting with the owner manager on numerous occasions, who brings a fresh perspective to everything. Live entertainment on their spacious covered patio takes place on weekends. Bavaro's is a win-win.
