Reviews for Andrea's in Sarasota, FL
Our first experience this past Saturday. First the good: Beautiful wine selection and delicious rice croquettes. Waiter was ok,... but not memorable. Now the not so good: Pasta MUST be cooked in salted water. Totally lacked taste but was cooked perfectly Aldente. I had the Caesar salad with anchovies. Dressing was bland and left partially eaten accordingly. No garlic or any otherseasoning. Entrée chosen was the seafood in linguine. Again there was no salt in the pasta and the sauce did not have anyseasoning whatsoever on it. There was no taste of garlic, basil, parsley, wine, etc. The seafood was cooked perfectly, however,again, and very little taste. Most of the dinner (pasta) was left untouched. We waited almost two years to come to therestaurant (Covid) Sorry to say we left disappointed. Read more

Great Italian food! I really enjoy the Wine Tasting even dinners, too. They seem to have them at least once of month. You can... join their update list on the website and get an email when they're getting ready to have their next Wine Dinner. Read more
What an amazing hidden gem. This reminds me of the old school real Italian restaurants. Menu is small. Seafood salad was... incredible. Mushroom ravioli was off the charts. Seafood linguini was my daughters favorites. Both Tiramisu and Creme Brule wasincredible. Service was great. Hidden gem Read more

My girlfriend and I just went tonight for the first time, found it on accident and had no idea it would be so amazing!!! We... walked in with no reservation and got a small table. Our waiter, Micheal was outstanding! Very insightful and knowledgeableabout the food and wine. The bread and food is all fresh and made with care. I can tell Chef Andrea has a clear passion for whathe does. He greets every guest and makes sure everything is perfect!! Going back again and again! Thank you for a wonderfulexperience Andrea's!!!!!

So my experience here was part of a larger group of people and both the service and food was impeccable. I had the octopus and... it was grilled to perfection. Like no place I have had it before. The eggplant appetizer was so good I could have eaten it for ameal. I have read some of the comments on cocktail napkins being needed, with nice tablecloths to absorb any condensation frommy ice tea I liked them not wasting the paper napkin so many others do under the drink.

We have been coming to Siesta Key for over 30 years. We have eaten at most of the best restaurants on the key but tonight wanted... to try something new. Andrea’s is right across the bridge feels like you are still on the key. It is family run. The food andservice was excellent. The care to address food allergies and preferences was very much appreciated. They have the best glutenfree bread and food options. Tonight our meal was so much better than our preferred Italian restaurant on the key, I am not surewe will go back there. Andrea’s is excellent! Read more
