The Italian Grill - Sarasota

I absolutely adore this restaurant! The Italian cuisine is superb, and the service is exceptional. The manager even stops by your table to ensure everything meets your expectations! I highly recommend this charming local gem for a delightful meal, inviting atmosphere, and great drinks!

The food was outstanding, and the atmosphere, along with the staff, was incredibly welcoming.

The food is excellent, and the staff is friendly. However, there was an issue with our reservation; they couldn’t find it and mentioned that no one had been checking the computer, which had been malfunctioning for a while. When we tried to pay the bill with our chip credit card, it was declined twice. We then went across the street and used the same card without any problems. When we informed the employee about the issue, she apologized, but it was quite embarrassing.

When we arrived at the restaurant, everything seemed to be in order; however, they had no record of our reservation, which we had booked and confirmed through OpenTable.

As for parking, there is free parking available just outside the front door.
