Restaurants near Katie's Beach Bungalow

If you’re looking for an authentic, Sicilian meal, run to LaNorma’s! The outside patio is lovely. Service was excellent. Shout out to Gustavo! Arancini, Eggplant Rollatini, Rigatoni/Meatball Bolognese & Lobster Ravioli were outstanding. A bottle of Montepuliciano sealed the deal! Unfortunately, couldn’t fit dessert; therefore, we must return! PS-The drive thru Longboat Key at sunset is spectacular!!

The Bridge Street Bistro is arguably one of the best places on the island for food, drink, and gathering with friends. We are locals, and it’s our go to place not just for the food, but for those there who take care of us- they are like family.

We were seated promptly and our server, Terri, was a hoot! We had fried mozzarella, which came in large wedges rather than sticks. For entrees, my husband had lasagna, and I had chicken parmigiana. Both excellent and huge servings (we each brought home enough for another meal). Terri made the evening with her good humor and great service.

An idyllic setting....almost a step back in Florida gentility. From the moist banana bread welcome to the peppercorn steak....each course carefully crafted. Attentive waitstaff. What a delightful experience

Waitress was phenomenal! Sadly forget her name. We had reservations right at sunset, they were completely packed and still got us in right on time. Drinks were ok but to be fair we each tried “out of the box” options for ourselves so we when we return we’ll be giving those another shot. The grouper sandwich was right hand to god one of the best fish sandwiches I’ve had in my life. I’ve written 2 reviews my whole life but that sandwich alone made me want to express my gratitude and appreciate for the beautiful staff and crew at this location. Will be returning !
