She also let us try a few traditional Spanish drinks, which was such a nice touch. Her positive attitude and genuine passion for sharing Spanish culture made the visit even more enjoyable. The shop and kitchen were very clean, which I always appreciate. I decided to try the almond cake, and it was absolutely delicious--I'll definitely be coming back for another slice! I also had the horchata, which Fatima explained is a refreshing drink that's especially popular during the summer. She also mentioned that while the store carries a small selection of products, they have a much larger selection available through their online shop, which was great to know. Overall, it was a wonderful first experience with great hospitality, delicious food, and an authentic atmosphere. I look forward to visiting again!

The private event began with sparkling Prosecco and quickly evolved into a delightful culinary experience. We crafted a decadent tiramisu infused with limoncello and learned the art of handmade pasta from scratch. While the kitchen staff prepared our meal, we savored an array of exquisite appetizers and indulged in generous wine pairings. The evening was enhanced by the owner's live guitar performance of traditional Italian melodies, creating an authentic atmosphere. We gained fascinating insights into their olive oil production and learned about their unique olive and grape harvesting tours. This charming Sarasota establishment truly captures the essence of Italian culture and hospitality. The staff, particularly store manager Amy, were exceptional hosts. We were so impressed that we're already planning to attend another class and are inspired to book a future trip to Italy through their organization. Mazzone Olive Oil has undoubtedly become our new favorite local culinary destination.

Every dish was incredible--from the fried deviled eggs, potstickers, and fried shrimp with goat cheese to the perfectly cooked miso sea bass, wasabi mashed potatoes, and green beans.

Chef Bruno not only prepared everything to perfection, but he also took the time to explain each dish, some of which were his own family recipes. The timing of the meal was flawless, and he left the kitchen even cleaner than when he arrived. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience, I highly recommend Chef Bruno Wu!
