Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Longboat Key

Second visit to the Restaurant and the food and service were of high quality. Again the starter of Antipasto Italiano with Burrata was the highlight, so fresh and delicious. Branzino & Puttanesca was a good choice for a main dish and did not disappoint. A lovely experience overall, helped in no small part with the attentive service from Tatiana. La Norma should be on your list if visiting LBK.

Before dinner had drinks at main bar in center of the lobby. Toad, the bartender took great care of us. Listen to Joe, pianist playing terrific music. Then had a delicious dinner in Riva. We both had the pasta Bolognese, outstanding! Dawn, our server was excellent.

Amazing job by Jeffrey & team! Was a great WOW experience all around.

We sat next to the sandy beach and watched dolphins and other fish as we ate the most delicious salad. We ordered the lobster and crab salad which was superb. Aperol spritz was a wonderful refresher. Fantastic location to eat lunch or dinner.

Great view on the water and atmosphere with the lights on Christmas Eve. We sat under the trees by the bay and the portable heaters kept us warm on a cool night. The Spinach and Artichoke Empanadas were a great appetizer and the entrees were excellent too.
