Restaurants near Hotel Ranola - Sarasota

The owner greeted us on the way in and also stopped by the table towards the end. The food was absolutely amazing! Staff was friendly and professional! Atmosphere was on point. Our first time there and will definitely be going back.

Mediterraneo does not disappoint! Their homemade pasta is wonderful, and the 3 different pasta dishes we had last evening (Bucatini with lamb sauce and shitake mushrooms, Linguine all Vongole and a dish with angel hair pasta and veggies, including eggplant and roasted tomatoes) we all delicious, well presented and fairly hearty portions. Although we did not have a standard entree last night, we have done so in the past and were impressed with our choices. I can't wait to go back and try the swordfish!

Only our second visit, we now luv, luv Indigenous. We were greeted promptly, seated promptly and serviced promptly by polite, friendly and attentive staff. The pickled vegetables were delightful, the burger with the duck fat roasted potatoes were delicious and vanilla bean ice cream was scrumptious. We will absolutely, positively both recommend and return. Thx…

The food was spectacular and we will be back. Crispy Octopus, open faced lamb pita, bangers and mash and a whole head of roasted cauliflower with truffle and bacon! Sorry we don’t go downtown more often but this is definitely a great reason to go back! 0ur server was wonderful and the drinks were great as well! Easy parking. Can’t say enough great things! Thanks for a great night out!

My favorite restaurant in downtown Sarasota. You can have bustling main room, or quiet hallway high tops. Food is fantastic, my favorites being the mushrooms and peppered salmon. Sounds like a little thing, but one really nice touch is they line the leftover boxes with tin foil. Sure makes the trip home easier and keeps the food fresher, too!
