Stopped for an impromptu dinner while perusing St. Armands. So glad we did!!! I more than enjoyed The Trio. The lobster ravioli, veal/mushroom ravioli, and spinach/cheese ravioli were all to die for, including their respective sauces. The lasagna was a classically flavorful dish and devoured quickly. The waitress was kind enough to bring us the most delicious pesto for dipping our fresh bread – highly recommend!! The most amazing meal. 10/ 10 would visit again!!!

Probably the worst “Italian” experience ever. Cheese platter for two was just that but never would I expected cheese and orange marmalade, that’s it! The antipasto for two was supposed tantalize our sense. It’s as soaked bread with tomatoes two slices of thick prosciutto and some sliced salami. The best part was the server didn’t care and said that’s what we ordered.

If you love homemade Italian food, this is a must. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. Had an appetizer that was excellent. Great and attentive service. Love this place!

We went to the restaurant around 6 pm and surprisingly there wasn’t a wait. There was live music playing out front which they ha e tables out front but we sat inside near the door so we could still enjoy the music. The service was excellent. The only thing that bothered me was we orders chicken fettuccine which wasn’t in the menu but the waitress said they surely can make it. The bad thing is the cost was $32.50 each! We orders 2. My husband ordered a shrimp scampi for only $28. Other than the expensive chicken fettuccine, everything was good.

I have been here before and it is always good. Great Italian food and nice atmosphere. Prices are not bad for this area. I was surprised to see some negative reviews—I have never had the experiences that they mention. We went for dinner and everything was excellent as I remembered.

Food is excellent but pricey. “European style” meal size. Good selection of Italian wines – we enjoyed a bottle of Super Tuscan. A couple of service hiccups did not overshadow an overall great experience.

Was expecting so much more. Just landed and was looking forward to our annual visit to St. Armonds. It was Sunday and we chose this restaurant for a quick dinner as there wasn’t a wait. We were a party of 4 adults and 5 kids with a check total around $575.00. Service was horrible. I felt like they forgot about the table of 9 in the back while serving the few other tables. Food service was slow but they had bread if you asked for it. The fish didn’t taste fresh, chicken was tough on the inside and mushy on the outside. Steak was a bit over cooked. The various pasta sauces didn’t have much flavor. The pizza for the kids was ok but nowhere near as good as what they had around the block. They didn’t even dare to ask us if everything was good or to our liking as if they knew they knew our answer. To top it off they messed up the checks twice and charged us for desert they didn’t have available. Not sure if it was just an off night for them as we have enjoyed all our breakfast, lunch and dinners from the other establishments around them. Can’t say I would recommend them to the numerous families we dine with.

Wonderful Food! Wonderful Atmosphere! Wonderful Staff! We were greeted promptly, and seated outside where we requested. Social Distancing was enforced and we felt safe eating here. Me being Italian, I must say this is one of the best Italian Restaurants in Sarasota. If you are near the area, I definitely recommend. In the evenings they have beautiful lights that are lit up around you giving a wonderful ambience.
