Nice find in downtown Sarasota for Italian cuisine. The burata cheese appetizer was amazing, bread was warm and the pizza was great as well. They have a full service bar and cocktails were made well. There is a good amount to choose from and they even mixed and matched for us. The atmosphere was inviting and most of the servers and kitchen staff were foreign. I felt like the food was authentic. We walked here after the art show which was convenient, but parking in this area can be tricky. We would go back for lunch again.

The lasagna was so good. So yummy. We had a last minute post-Valentine dinner. Thought we’d walk-in to a place. Luckily this place had seating. We had fresh bread. My kid tried the ice cream-it was a beautifully presented Gelato. I was so hungry that time. We had just lugged 200 boxes that day. The lasagna hit the spot it melted in my mouth. So good. Highly recommend

Great atmosphere…. sitting at the bar you get a lovely whiff of the wood fire oven cooking all kinds of lovely stuff. Tons of booze choices and beer /wine

Food, service, and environment were all lovely. This is certainly one of the best pieces of lasagna I’ve had, perfectly done with veal meat sauce. The pizza was delicious as well, and the blueberry mule the server recommended was nice and refreshing.

We had a fantastic experience at Cafe Epicure. The food was outstanding across the board—everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. From the pasta to the pizza and even dessert, it was one hit after another.
What really made the experience next-level, though, was our server Joe. He was absolutely top notch—attentive without hovering, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely friendly. You can tell he takes pride in making sure guests have a great time made.
Great food, great service, and a warm atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back. Together, we are strong

Absolutely excellent experience! Third time we have come here and this time was the absolute best. Luigi, an incredible server with a personality and a story makes sure you have everything you need and pays attention. The food is always great but servers also play a part in the meal. He was excellent! We will definitely make this one of our staple restaurants.

Loved my experience at Cafe Epicure! The pizza was perfection. But what really made the night special was the staff so kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Love Leo Baltizar and Sol! You can tell they care about their guests here. This place has such a great atmosphere and heart. Can’t wait to come back!

I recently had the pleasure of being served by Lea at Cafe Epicure, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I sat down, Lea’s warm and welcoming demeanor made me feel right at home. She was incredibly attentive, always checking in to ensure I had everything I needed without being intrusive.
What truly stood out was Lea’s knowledge of the menu. She was able to offer insightful recommendations and answer all my questions with ease, which helped me discover a new favorite dish. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she went above and beyond to accommodate my requests.
Overall, Lea’s outstanding service elevated my dining experience at Cafe Epicure. Her professionalism, combined with her genuine care for customers, makes her an invaluable asset to the cafe. I highly recommend seeking her out on your next visit – you won’t be disappointed!

We went out to lunch, seven 7️⃣ f is to celebrate a friends birthday. Very relaxing time. Atmosphere was very enjoyable. Camille was a wonderful waitress! I chose the pizza today, but can’t wait to come back to have the chicken Parmesan. One of my friends said it was amazing!
