    Lasagne Bolognese

    Incredible food and service! First time seeing the changes to the building and it was beautiful.

    Unique Italian dishes with a flair. Partial to this place. Been coming forever. Always well staffed that know their menu. Cozy intimate feel. You will like it.

    Bourbon flight!

    This place is amazing! The food and service are top shelf. We celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary! The place has been redone and beautiful. Perfect place for a wedding reception or just a nice dinner.

    I went here with family to celebrate my birthday and their pastas were delicious! Made fresh daily and tasted just like it. I got the branzino which was decent. The dessert was fantastic and tasted great.

    Lobster Gnocchi

    Had the Lobster Gnocci, was absolutely amazing and loved the consistency of the gnocci. Also d Bruschetta di Ischia and Fried Mozzarella. They were both so good! Definitely recommend for a romantic date night.

    Chicken parm

    Such a cool vibe. Chicken parm was great. Pasta was good. My husband liked his spaghetti and meatballs. The bread was very good too. Would def come back again

    What a gem of a place! This was our second visit to Cafe Gabbiano and the meal was fantastic! The first time we had a group of 15 and this time was just 3 of us. The service did not change with the group size at all! There were so many great choices on the menu from local seafood to classic Italian dishes!

    Squid ink shrimp fra diavolo
    Mel A.

    On the last night of my trip to Siesta Key village, I decided to come here for dinner. Made last minute reservations only to find out that I couldn't because my party of 1 was too small. I took a chance anyway and walked there as it was only a block away. I explained my situation and that I do not wish to sit at the bar if that can be helped. They were very accommodating and seated me at my own table. The bar tender, who also happened to be my waiter, came by quickly and grabbed my drink order and my appetizer order. I wanted the Burrata prepared with tomatoes and basil. It came out fantastic but wish there were a bit more balsamic reduction to it. Still really good though! For my entrée, I ordered the squid ink shrimp fra diavolo. I am a huge fan of squid ink pasta and this place did not disappoint. My dish was so delicious and had the right amount of spice to make me sweat a little but not be running out of there breathing fire. In other words, it was some of the most wonderful squid ink pasta. Of course, I couldn't leave without dessert. They had cannoli and I got cannoli. Yum. So delicious! I am generally judgey because I have had some great cannolis in my life but this one gets the seal of approvals. This place is definitely a place that requires a revisit the next time I find myself in Siesta Key! Service was excellent and so was the food. Overall, one of the best experiences during my little getaway.

    Delicious! Staff were great. Only compliant was the strawberry basil martini (couldn't finish)

    Turkey dinner
    Amber C.

    Small little place with nice ambiance! We went for thanksgiving dinner but we tried a couple of the main menu apps. Cheesy bread was good but not garlicky enough and the fried calamari was really tasty. Drinks were pricey but very good! The turkey dinner was nice could have used more stuffing and less rosemary in the potatoes. Was a nice place to spend a holiday meal with family. Would definitely try the regular menu sometime.

    Do you have a sour dough crust?

    Hello Lisa, We do not have pizza or sour dough. I would suggest Tralia in gulf gate. They have Detroit style sour dough pizza.

    This was our first visit to Bohemios Tapas Bar, and we picked a good day to stop by. The first…read moreweekend (Fri & Sat) of each month they have Seafood Paella, and that was what we ordered. While Bohemios is tapas, they also offer some full plate dishes such as the Paella and our other dish, Bohemios Churrasco. We definitely liked the food. The Paella had a mild familiar flavor. It could have used more seafood but for the price, I was more than satisfied. The Churrasco steak was cooked perfectly for me and their zesty chimichurri sauce made it excellent. I didn't try the side of Gallo Pinto, I don't really like most beans, but my wife seemed to enjoy it. The fried sweet plantains were delicious. Another thing I did enjoy was their Mediterranean Bruschetta, three pieces stacked high, what a great start to the meal. Bohemios is a smallish place with about 8 tables and maybe a dozen bar seats inside, a few more tables outside. Reservations are recommended. Our server was a fun, outgoing, memorable guy and we loved all our interactions. The pace of the meal was good, about 10 minutes for the Bruschetta, another 10 after we finished for the main course. We picked a bad day for only one reason, the guitar player was out with an injury.

    Four of us tried Bohemios for the first time and everyone agreed we would go back! We started with…read morefour tapa, one with white anchovies, one with grilled octopus, and continued trying 8 tapa all together! We loved all of them and asked for more bread to clean the plates of their delicious sauces. We enjoyed Barra of Mendocino Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon which complemented all the flavors. The owner is very welcoming and very proud of his fare! And rightly so! We enjoyed learning about his roots which have influenced his cooking. Hope his restaurant thrives!! Thank you, Martin, for a lovely evening!
