Andrea's

FINALLY!! A chef that knows how to spice foods well and is accommodating, to someone like myself with many food allergies. From appetizers to desserts, the food was superb, the wine, ditto and the atmosphere, "special" i.e., the care and attentiveness of Michael the host and Andrea, who visits each table making sure you're enjoying your meal is hard to find today. Andrea's is a RARE GEM in a sea of so-so restaurants. We will be regulars for sure.

One of the best restaurants in Sarasota. It is elegant, comfortable, and welcoming. The food is first rate for a sophisticated palate. I had octopus to start — a treat I had never dared to order before. It was glorious—tender and succulent. For the main course, I ordered Veal Saltimbocca with wild mushrooms. The flavors of the prosciutto and sage and wild mushroom permeated the veal and created a piatto perfetto. If you want great food, a soft, relaxed ambiance, and excellent service, I don’t think you can do any better than Andrea’s.

Superb! Amazing authentic italian food! Delicious homemade pasta dishes,tasty fish and meat courses, delicious authentic Italian cheese and awesome wine chart. Friendly staff. Absolutely recommended

I honestly am not a fan of Italian restaurants because I have never found anyone who can cook as good as my grandmother....until, Andrea's.WOW!!! This is THE MOST authentic Italian food I have ever tasted outside of my grandmothers house.The flavors are incredible. Simple and so sophisticated at the same time. The wine selection is the be beat. So many choices!I was even more pleased to learn that Andrea's supports local, organic farms and changes his menu seasonally to create a sustainable establishment.Oh, and when I told my server that I was gluten free, it was absolutely no problem to accommodate my dietary needs. Thank you Angelo for incredible service!

Veal topnotch, fish dish superb, service impeccable

Cordial service, interesting wine list and excellent food

Deliciously well made Italian food. Service is excellent.

Food was excellent. Lacking in attention to details . . . Drippy drink glasses because no cocktail napkins, my order was incorrect and dirty dishes left in front of us for quite a while.

Great food and service!

Great food excellent service.

Andrea and his staff made our night out AMAZING!!! We had the private dinning room with 12 of us that he so graciously did a blind fold experience.... Wow!!!!!what a great way to make a fabulous meal even better. Andrea and his staff go above and beyond and the food was simply delicious!! We cannot wait to do this again!!! He is the BEST!

A tad pricey, but very good.

Great chef, wonderful Italian food at this small restaurant just off 41 south. Best polenta ever. I have never had a dish here that i didnt think was exceptional. Quiet with great wine cellar. Very personal service.

Andrea's combines a stellar menu of authentic Italian food with a warm, family oriented hospitality that makes dining here a real pleasure. Andrea personally checks in with his guests at least once during a meal and questions about the menu, preparation and ingredients are always welcome. We have been coming here regularly for the last couple of years and Andrea makes us feel like family (and feeds us like we are in a Michelin starred restaurant without all the pretense).

Absolutely stunning Italian cuisine. An absolute must for Sarasota!!

We loved our meals and the wines! Deep rich bartoli sauce on my braised beef. It rocks!

Amazing italian food, one of the best restaurants i have been in Florida.

The bus boy is really good

So my experience here was part of a larger group of people and both the service and food was impeccable. I had the octopus and it was grilled to perfection. Like no place I have had it before. The eggplant appetizer was so good I could have eaten it for a meal.I have read some of the comments on cocktail napkins being needed, with nice tablecloths to absorb any condensation from my ice tea I liked them not wasting the paper napkin so many others do under the drink.

Andrea is preparing wonderful dishes for takeout during the COD19 pandemic and last night my husband and I enjoyed a feast from the restaurant including wines delivered to our home.

Good authentic dish's. Service was good until clean up time then we needed to flag server to get attention. Also glass condensation was terrible. They need cocktail type napkins as we dripped water constantly.

I have been to this restaurant two times in the past three weeks. The food is outstanding: the veal shank, the ravioli stuffed with meatsauce, and especially the chicken liver pate are as good as it gets. But what really sets this place apart is the personal interaction you will likely experience with Michael, the sole waiter, and Andrea, the chef/owner. Dining at Andea’s is a great overall experience that will leave you satisfied and feeling special.

Everything about Andrea's reminded me of my trip to Rome. The menu is filled with seasonal and fresh options, and our waiter was friendly and very attentive, and happy to split an appetizer order for us. In addition to what we ordered, the chef and owner, Andrea, made us a small sampling plate of fresh pasta between courses. To top it off, Andrea personally visited our table several times to be certain that our meals were delicious and cooked perfectly. If you are looking for a quiet and romantic evening, you would be hard pressed to find a better place.

Great food, service outstanding and Andrea and staff attentive.

Super service, wonderful food. Loved it.

Both food and service were excellent!

Wonderful fresh flavors and inspiring tastes. Love the risotto.

If i could give 6 or 7 stars I would. Andrea's is by far the best Italian food in all of Sarasota. I have traveled to Italy many times and this is on par with the best food I've ever had. I brought my girlfriend here twice and we asked if we could do a tasting menu. Andrea whipped up 4 courses, including two appetizer courses, a pasta course with two pastas and two meat/fish. The food is creative and absolutely phenomenal. The service is also very very good. They pour your wine and water and don't rush you whatsoever. If Andrea the owner/chef is there the night you go you are in for a treat. Him and his staff are all Italian and have great personalities.One last great thing, the tasting menu described above, we were only charged $65 per person. This restaurant is amazing.

Excellent, as usual.

I can happily report that Sarasota has a wonderful Italian restaurant that we will definitely return to again. The freshly prepared food and friendly and exquisite service were outstanding. All in our party of four were totally pleased with this dining experience. The bill was a little high but well worth it considering how well we were treated. We will highly recommend Andrea's to friends.

I always have a wonderful dinner here, and when he has wine tasting dinners I always attend. The pairings are superb.

We had dinner on the menu for a taste of Sarasota. This included appetizer, main entree and dessert. The service was excellent with a very helpful waiter who made suggestions and was spot on with his recommendations. The owner stopped by our table to meet us and to inquire about the meal as well. It was one of the best meals we all have experienced and we highly recommend this establishment! Thank you for your attention to our meals.

Great service and the pasta was unreal . Every place says they make the pasta fresh, but this place really does. Same with the bread - fresh out of the oven. Whole fam loves.

Amazing food, service and Andreas has such a characterFeels like we are getting spolied everytime we go, great service and the food and vine sends you to heaven. Can't wait to go back there again.Everything from the seafood to the pasta is breath taking!

Amazing food and service. Entire staff very personable. Enjoy the entire experience!

Some of the best italian food we have eaten in Sarasota. Family owned restaurant with a warm welcoming ambiance. I had the veal picatta and it was amazing. Head chef checked on us multiple times to make sure we were satisfied. One of our new favorites, we will be back soon!

Always a great meal and service!

The most amazing culinary experience I have had in a long time.

Service was very good and the food excellent. Veal, gnocchi , spaghetti, and ravioli were delicious. Bread plate was impressive.

Good food and service!

Amazing food, exceptional service! Small but quaint. We did the 3 course Savor Sarasota Menu for $32/each. Wine menu expansive and they also allow you to bring your own bottle for a $25 corking fee. Will definitely return.

Real Italian.Andrea us a very good chef!Amazing food and wonderful wine list.I Will come back soon!
