La Violetta is the best of the best! Yes the food is homemade, fresh and outstanding, however, it is the people who make this experience a night to remember. You feel like you are wrapped in a warm blanket with someone bringing you treats! Francesco, from the moment you walk in, gives you that warm beautiful smile, you laugh because yes it’s me again! Back for more laughs and love and delicious food. Food is amazing but life will always be about who you spend it with. La Violetta makes you feel like family!

Ambiance was cozy, and inviting. The noise levels weren’t too bad.

The food was very delicious except for the gnocchi didn’t care for that much. I am in love with the little spread they bring with the bread, they bring 2 types of bread which both were great. So yummy. Thank you for the bit of heaven in my mouth. They seem to have a great relationship with their customers very personable and I love that. Definitely recommend this place.

Cute Italian place. Nice specials and good wine selection. Not a lot of options for people who do not eat meat, cheese, or mushrooms. Excellent service. Marvelous desserts, unless you eat no dairy.

This restaurant is wonderful. Authentic and Fresh Italian. Julio, our waiter, was amazing and fun. It is my favorite dining spot.

Best Italian in Sarasota. Truffle dishes are to die for. Frank took Amaizing care of us. Fantastic wine. Great night.

This is an excellent Italian restaurant. It is refreshing to have real Italian food. It you are looking for spicy saucy food you won’t enjoy eating there. If you are looking for dishes expertly prepared great appetizers and delicious desserts you will be returning often.

The food is amazing! Authentic Italian cuisine all homemade. You can even watch the fresh pasta being prepared in the kitchen. I’ve eaten here twice and both times the service and food was outstanding!
