Our server Freddy was amazing! He took care of everything and was very personable! He took the time to get to know us and make... sure we had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely fantastic. The pizza was fresh and flavorful and the pasta andlasagna was out of this world! The tiramisu was phenomenal! I felt like I was on the east coast again!. We will be back beforewe leave! Worth the drive from Missouri to come back again! Read more

We had a great dining experience with Freddy our server tonight. The restaurant was busy with people coming in with to go orders... and almost all the tables filled. The chicken Alfredo was perfectly cooked and we were happy with the angel hair pasta option.The pizza was delish. We definitely will be adding this place to the regular rotation. Read more

I liked the pasta but my guest thought it had a tad too much garlic. The pizza ingredients were fresh but I felt the sauce was... too sweet. Not perfect, but pretty good overall. Read more

Food is AMAZING! Friendly staff! Absolutely recommend the bruschetta!!

Such a great experience! Thomas was a great server! Very attentive and on it. Drinks never ran empty and he was always back... quickly with whatever was needed. I ordered the baked ziti, which was delicious. Coming from an Italian family where my nanamakes homemade sauce, I?m very picky. Their sauce was actually really delicious! They didn?t put ricotta in the ziti which Ithought was odd, I asked for a side and Thomas informed me I?d be charged. No big deal, but I would?ve liked for it to have comewith ricotta already in there. The tiramisu was subpar. I didn?t feel like it had a lot of flavor. I love tiramisu, but wasn?t afan. All in all, it was a great experience and I?ll definitely be back! Can?t wait to try the pizza next! Read more

Fantastic food and friendly atmosphere. Possibly the best lasagne I've ever had! The bruschetta and pizza were also very tasty.... This place won't impress you from the outside, but it's worth a visit for some of the best Italian food in Sarasota. Oh and saveroom for a cannoli! Read more

Sarasota is overwhelmed with Italian restaurants and being from NYC, we had always struggled to find truly authentic spots that... don?t cook from canned/frozen around here. With that being said, I cannot say enough good things about Francesco?s- trulyauthentic Italian food cooked from scratch every time (even the mozzarella sticks!). You can tell by not only how hot the foodis when you get it, but by the freshness and flavor you can taste in every single bite. If you haven?t been, you?re missing out! Read more
