About Us

LA MUCCA BALLERINA

How We Became Popular Among Others ?

A Tradition In Authentic Italian Cooking!
We are the Zappaterreno Family and for more than 20 years we’ve owned, operated and crafted fresh comfort food our restaurant, Agriturismo La Mucca Ballerina in Rome, Italy. Chef Mario Zappaterreno and family’s latest outpost.
At an early age, Chef Mario learned from his grandmother that the true Italian dining experience is more than just the food, it’s the combination of a welcoming environment where fresh homemade pasta and mozzarella, hand-picked vegetables and the right seasoning ingredients welcomes friends with open arms. Our Italian farmhouse style in downtown Sarasota is a true taste of Rome! Transport yourself to a agriturismo villa in Rome for the evening and enjoy the warm atmosphere and welcoming service + truly authentic cuisine.
For this simple formula of creating the fresh and flavorful food we loved growing up, our restaurant in Rome is successful… and to which I know bring to our new home in Sarasota.

Há 15 dias atrás, achei o restaurante, a comida e o atendimento perfeitos. Retornei dia 15/09/23 e o cenário foi completamente diferente. O atendente não nos informou sobre os pratos especiais, não nos trouxe o pão maravilhoso que foi ofertado na 1 vez. Pedi um ravioli, por sinal, estava maravilhoso, porém não me foi oferecido queijo. Percebi também, que a casa fecha as 10:00hrs , no entanto alguns clientes entraram em torno das 8:30 sem reserva e não foram atendidos, mesmo tendo diversas mesas vazias. A impressão que eu tive é que não havia a presença de nenhum dono.

If you didn’t remember where you walked in from, you’d swear you were transported to Rome. I found the food, service and family owned atmosphere to be exactly what I missed here in the states. Unfortunately, we ate here the last day we were here, or we’d have eaten there all week. But when we get back from Michigan, this will be the first dinner we have.

The food is delicious!!We sat outside, as the entire restaurant was full, and reminisced about how much it felt like being back in Italy with the al fresco dining, homemade pasta, focaccia bread, and the beautiful church across the street.We met one of the family members who own the restaurant, Marciello, and he couldn't have been nicer. We talked about Italy, pizza, bagels, and shared Italian recipes. We're originally from New York, so we are accustomed to good Italian food. We have been living here three years now and have been to many Italian restaurants in the Sarasota/Lakewood Ranch area, and La Mucca Ballerina, by far, is the best we've had so far!
