- HH.W.Greater Boston •3 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 26, 2024Dinner at Cafe Amici was another wonderful experience. Living downtown, it is one of our favorites. The menu is wonderful, with a broad selection. I had the eggplant rotini for an appetizer and for my entree the Osso Bucco. Both were excellent. My companion had the shrimp & crab with pasts which she thoroughly enjoyed. The service is excellent and the food presented well and with good portions. Cafe Amici, has been a mainstay on Main Street for decades and our experience proves they will continue for decades to come.More infoCafe AmiciPrice: Expensive• Italian• Sarasota•4.8

- PPaulGreater Boston •3 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 24, 2024The service was outstanding, and remarkable, due to the specifics of this particular night. Our group was at Bavaro's in Sarasota during a busy holiday week, and on a night when the restaurant was a little understaffed, yet filled to capacity with patrons. Even the food met the standard that we have come to expect from Bavaro's. I tip my hat to you Bavaro's.More infoBavaro's Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria-SarasotaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Sarasota•4.7
