The food and staff here are outstanding. Marc, our favorite server, is incredibly friendly and attentive. They serve the best veal and espresso martini I've ever had. Every dish we've tried has been excellent. The atmosphere is great, and they also offer outdoor seating, where we could bring our pet. I highly recommend this restaurant, but it's a good idea to make reservations since it can get quite busy. View all feedback.

This isn?t so much about the restaurant as the service we received. It was the worse service ever. Our server had an attitude as soon as we were seated. We placed our orders. Got one meal wrong. When meal was brought out we told them what was ordered. Server came to table and said I read the order back to you. Everyone at the table agreed on what was ordered. I decided to cancel my meal because by the time I would of gotten mine everyone else would be done. When I asked the server to cancel my meal, he threw the cheese grater down and stormed off. When we got our bills to pay he shorted one of the other couples $10 change and they called him out on it. (If you get RICH, as your server I?d request another one) The food that was served was good.
OMG! This is a favorite of family who live in Sarasota area. When visiting they took us here. Like being in NY. Service, fantastic,, treated like family! The food,, excellent! From pasta to pizza! Highly recommended! Enjoy!! Oh, btw, they have artists painting inside and a live orchestra outside!!!
Wow! I can see why this Italian restaurant has such high ratings. I was in from out of town and looking for a good Italian place, I walked in and was greeted by the Manager, Debbie, who went out of her way to make me feel welcomed and took great care of me. (during a Friday night dinner rush hour! Evan was my waiter and the service was excellent and quick. The friendly and personable owner, Joe DiMaggio Jr., cooks delectable Italian dishes in the center bar while engaging with patrons. His art work, along with other local artists, are displayed on the walls. The atmosphere is upbeat, positive and the food is incredibly delicious! What a Hidden Gem. I ll be back next time I'm in Sarasota. Thank you Cafe Barbosso for an exceptional experience! 5 plus Stars
The art in the place was wonderful. Very nicely decorated, always kept my eye busy while eating. The lighting is pretty dark, so bring some reading glasses if you typically struggle with reading small text. I had the manicotti, it was very filling but I just wanted to keep eating it because of how good it was! My vegetarian friend had the veggie pizza and said it was the best veggie pizza she?s ever had. Super colorful and perfectly cooked. When I asked the waiter if they served mocktails, she gave me a range of flavor options to choose from.
