    We were delighted with the ambience, the warm welcome and the complimentary delicious bruschetta. The lovely waitress had a charming accent, but was difficult for us to understand, which may have something to do with our hearing. As we didn’t really understand the specials, we ordered off the menu. My husband’s lasagne was excellent, but my bolognese on pasta was bland and didn’t have much flavor. I ate only half, and took home the rest, which when I doctored it up with basil and oregano tasted wonderful. I wonder if the chef forgot to add any herbs in the sauce. All in all, though, we liked the restaurant and will try itv again.

    Really enjoy the food and service. Go early for a quieter experience. 5pm worked better for us - 6pm not so much! Those with hearing aides will be much more comfortable.

    We found Bruschetta while on a month vacation to Sarasota. Bruschetta appealed to us as it’s a small restaurant with excellent food and service. We enjoyed their seafood and pasta dish and chicken Marsala. Our salads were tasty also. They provided us with a delicious sampling of their bruschetta upon arrival and a taste of limoncello at the end of our dinner, which helped to make this a unique experience. We recommend this restaurant and will be back.

    My third excellent meal experience. I think this place is great. I had the lasagna, which just envelopes you in warmth. A special call out for calamari - the chef has a particularly deft touch in getting the calamari to exactly the right tenderness and crispness. One of the specials was a chicken parmesan kind of dish - I had it the next day for lunch and was extremely happy with it. Compounded with the friendliest of service - we are not regulars, but were still greeted as if we were long lost family, this is an extremely nice place of a special dinner. Can't recommend it enough.

    We really enjoyed dinner here with friends. The trio of lasagna, meatballs and eggplant with marinara was a max, as was the house made ravioli special with Italian sausage and Gorgonzola was fantastic! Marco and Olga were also wonderful. We will be back!

    This was not just good Italian food for Sarasota. I’d put this up against any New York Italian food I’ve had. Will definitely be back!
