Best Live Music Restaurants in Venice Gardens

We don’t go out to dinner often, but since discovering Tuscany Nokomis we have been there four times in 2025, bringing friends and family with us. We especially appreciate the early bird special menu which offers excellent choices at an affordable price. We have had the filet mignon, eggplant parm, chicken parm, beef burgundy, and veal Marsala, all excellent choices. Our friends and family have enjoyed their meals too. It has quickly become our favorite restaurant.

Went for Valentine's Day. We've been a couple of times before this and the food and service have been great. We both got pasta this time. Wife got the mushroom ragu and it was pheno,inal. I had the thai pasta and it was also very goo. We ended with the chocolate pecan pue which was excellent. Service from Alexa was 5 star.

We had an early Valentine's dinner at Bevardi's Salute. This was our first time there and it was fabulous! From the greeting when we first arrived and were shown to our table through dessert. Our waiter, Jordan was attentive, the food was delicious and came out perfectly cooked. Highly recommend!

Eating at Michael’s is a special treat when visiting Sarasota. This time we chose three dishes: the charcuterie board, sea bass, and chopped salad. The charcuterie board was outstanding, and the sea bass with risotto was excellent. To my taste, the chopped salad was not as good. It was overdressed with a somewhat sweet dressing, reminiscent of Russian dressing.

Wine Club tasting was great. Pairings of food with wines were spot on. New owners are keeping the vibe that Rumours is known for.
