THE RESERVE RESTAURANT by CHEF ANTONIO -Food CA (Near Sarasota)

5 /5 Total Mass Retain YES Tribute band: The best restaurant Ive ever eaten -- thats how the 4 of us felt after our first time eating at Chef Antonios.... so we went again the next night (lol) and felt the same!!! Im an italian from NYC and so I always say that nothing is better than a home cooked meal... THIS WAS A HOME COOKED MEAL. You enter a house converted into an elegant dining room, we were so impressed with the authenticity and quality. The hospitality is second to none. Chef Antonio himself greeted and sat us, and we had the best service from Elena. 100% recommend - no doubt about it. The only Italian restaurant in Sarasota with 5.0 rating as of the date of my review and for incredible reasons.

5 /5 Maria Carolina Ayala Montenegro: We went to celebrate our anniversary and We loved it... The location is like being in Europe and service is amazing. The Chef Antonio always come and greet the customers and even suggest few things. They are very open to change the plates and make you feel incredible. My husband ordered the lamb chops and they are a MUST, very tender and tasty. I ordered the clam fettucini very flavorful. Eventhough that they were closing at the end they gave us time to drink our wine. We recomend this place 100% and We are looking forward to come back pretty soon.

2 /5 Antonio Freitas: We got our last dinner of 2025 here. We expected to get a high standard Italian cuisine. However, it was not the case. The "parmigiana" rolls, "Risotto", pork ossobuco were just ok, nothing more. The "pappardelle" was uncook, not " al dente " and the meetballs came with small pieces of bones. The Tiramisu came with heavy cream on the top. That is not Italian. I think that they can do it better.

5 /5 Sara Hall: This is our new FAVORITE dining experience. It is absolutely EXCEPTIONAL. The service, the atmosphere, and food are 10/10 perfection. We are making this “our place”.

5 /5 Margaret Rooney: Amazing food and service!! Nice atmosphere. We loved our meal and will definately be back!
