ECCELLENTE In base a 791 recensioni Pubblicato su Suzanne AmosTrustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Had a fabulous meal at this lovely local restaurant. Located on Main Street in downtown Sarasota, they offer indoor and outdoor dining. Unpretentious and very European feeling with little tables scattered on the sidewalk. The service was prompt and the food excellent. Probably the best pasta I’ve had outside of Italy. As an aside, I noted that most dishes can be made gluten-free should that be a requirement, something seen frequently in Europe but not so much in North America. Overall, a great meal and will definitely return on our next trip to Sarasota.Pubblicato su Kaleigh Borden SabongeTrustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google.
