The food was subpar at best for the prices. My Salmon was raw in the middle, the veggies were gross, and it really needed more seasoning. Kinda tasteless. My girlfriend’s lobster risotto was pretty much tasteless too! The wine was amazing though! I wouldn’t go back.

The best restaurant I’ve ever eaten — that’s how the 4 of us felt after our first time eating at Chef Antonio’s…. so we went again the next night (lol) and felt the same!!!
I’m 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.

A superb dinner at The Reserve! The Parmesan eggplant roll and marinara meatball appetizers were a great start to the meal and joined with warm bread with a delicious cheese, honey and black olive jam. The shrimp and gnocchi entree and the spinach ravioli with ricotta were phenomenal! The tiramisu dessert was the best we had ever had! The presentation, the ambiance, the service was outstanding!! A perfect 5 Star rating!

What to say? I’ve already written rave reviews — and then I went again last night, and every moment was pure delight. The food, the service, the ambience: everyday words, but here they’re delivered with beauty and dignity. Seamless. Delicious. A little bit magical.
And the space itself is wondrous — the former home of Charles Ringling. If you’re looking for something genuinely different, elevated and unforgettable, this is the place.

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.

We went here to celebrate an anniversary and left kind of disappointed. We rarely splurge for nicer restaurants and were excited to try it after reading all the positive reviews. From the front window you could see some of the food being cooked in the microwave by the chef and the bread came out in a brown paper bag after most likely being microwaved. The staff were super friendly but we don’t think it was worth what we paid for it and probably won’t be back.
