Puccini's - Sarasota

We visited great friends who made the reservations. It was great. The four of us shared everything. A very beautiful Bruschetta started things. We had the scallops and crab crepe as appetizers, then calf with red and white sauces over basil and mozzarella, shrimps and pompano, and groupers, both over pastina. Chef Rich was a Temple Alumnus, like Gene, our host. We were treated with Table #1 and had the best view of the preparations. It was impressive.

We had fabulous food and good service. But the smoke in the room caused our eyes to tear, so that we had to go before our tasty dessert.

Great overall dining experience. The salad, grouper with lobster ravioli and cheesecake were all excellent. Service and atmosphere have only improved the evening. Do not forget to bring your favorite bottle of wine. We'll be back soon!

Wonderful meal! As good as it ever was, great service and delicious food!

Loved our crispy duck and the salmon too. So glad we found this place.
