- OTOpenTable DinerPhoenix / Arizona •9 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoIt’s a nice quaint little restaurant. The food was excellent. Our waiter was very good with answering questions and he knew the menu very well. As it got busier, it was super loud to the point we could barely hear the people at our table. That’s my only complaint and they can’t do anything about that I suppose. Regardless, we will be back for more delicious food!More infoFlavio Downtown SarasotaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Sarasota•4.6

- KPKellyPColumbus •4 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoOverall a wonderful experience. They have a lovely patio area to eat although we ate inside. The service was awesome. The food was amazing. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star was because of the sliders being a let down. Everything else we tried had so much wonderful Mediterranean flavors. We were expecting the same from the sliders. The buns were too thick and heavy. Then it had a tomato and a small scoop of tzatziki. If they perfect those, 5 star!More info1592 Wood Fired KitchenPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Sarasota•4.6

Discover Sarasota
There are two times of year that define life in the Sarasota area: peak and off seasons. Population numbers may spike by about 20 percent in the peak season, and the change is evident as commercial activity ramps up. The local dining scene is especially susceptible to the changing seasons. Peak season is the best time to sample the diverse cuisine, which ranges from soul food at hole-in-the-wall diners to fusion menus in hip bistros. There are also plenty of fine dining options at white-tablecloth restaurants. Sip on a good wine while enjoying fresh cheeses or stop by the local pub to sample one of 50 different beers and chow down on thin-crust pizza. You're sure to get your fill of fresh seafood in this Florida town, or maybe you prefer vegetarian dishes featuring super foods like quinoa, goji berries, and sweet potatoes.
