    This was our first visit to Sardinia and it won't be our last! Unbelievably fresh authentic Italian food. Every course was spot on. Service was exceptional as well. The seafood cioppino was the best I've ever had. The veal raviolis with butter/sage/walnut sauce incredible!

    This cozy restaurant reminded my wife and myself of authentic Italian restaurants one would find in the northeast. Our waiter was charming and attentive. He made excellent recommendations about wine and the menu. The food was authentically, Italian and delicious. I recommend this restaurant and we will return with friends.

    We had another great dinner at Sardinia Sarasota with another couple. Two guests had the Savor Sarasota menu and two guests ordered from the regular menu. The food, beverages and service were excellent and we will return soon.

    My husband and I dined at Sardinia‘s last evening. After reading multiple reviews, I was very disappointed with our experience. There was not one thing that we ordered that I would say was good. It was fair at best. The pasta was undercooked. We are Italian and like al dente but this was less than al dente. The sauce Tasted like it came from a jar. We ordered dinners that included fish. It was difficult to find it. the shrimp was undercooked. There was a minimal variety. We made 5 PM reservations. We arrived at 4:50 pm. The temperature was over 90° in Sarasota and yet we were not allowed in until exactly 5 PM. We were very disappointed.
