The Italian Grill

They have the best white pizza and lemon shot I’ve ever tasted! Per the recommendation of our server we also ordered the Pasta Puttanesca which was fantastic; love the spice. The place was quite/peaceful and well kept. I personally feel our sever Frank T (according to our receipt) made the dinning experience exceptional. Great conversation. Overall the dinning experience was above average. Definitely recommend.

Decided to visit Sarasota for the weekend and needed to find some dinner late in the evening. Thank God The Italian Grill was still open. We got there 15 minutes before they were supposed to close and they seated us with smiles! This place was wonderful! the food was delicious and the ambiance was delightful. The owners were very kind and accommodating especially Rob. Tracey our server was a gem and made our visit very special. We enjoyed ourselves so much we already committed to have dinner with them again tomorrow! Do your selves a favor and check this place out be sure to ask for Tracey and Tip her good because she’s worth it!! Non Appetite!

3rd visit here over almost 2 years. (we are not locals) 1st was months after new owners took over. I take my family and adult kids and friends so we are usually a party of 7+. Food, employees and owners are great. Atmosphere is cozy. Staff and guests are friendly, talkative and make you feel like family. Food is fresh Italian home style cooked with a modern flare. Restaurant is an end cap in a strip mall and very unassuming, but food, staff, cleanliness and atmosphere is well worth the visit.
