seafood pasta; lasagna in the background
Beth S.

This was our first time here although we are year round residents. I just loved my seafood pasta and also my husband's lasagna. He was not a big fan, but only because his family makes a non-traditional version of lasagna (with cheddar cheese), so that doesn't count! haha! We ordered a dessert on special that was very disappointing - it just tasted like custard, although it was described to have cherries (we only found one cherry). When the waiter asked for feedback about the dessert, I was honest but polite, and I said I don't want any refunds or whatever. But he/ they took the dessert off of our check. The ambiance is very nice. We will definitely be back!

We really wanted to try this restaurant especially after getting their take-out pizza that was pretty good, so we decided to make a reservation. It's a local business so I always like to try them out and support them. I did an on-line reservation. I saw the place inside previously and made sure I requested a table away from the door and the bathroom. Well we got that - right next to kitchen door. They put up accordion screen between our table and the door - sigh...ok. A plus - service was good. Now... We ordered the salads - Cesar and a Mista - both ok (Trattoria de Mino's in Venice beats them). For the entree I got gnocchi. My partner got the Spaghetti Bolognese. Gnocchi was fine but the sauce was not too much above tasteless. My partner's Spaghetti Bolognese had like a half pound of meat on it. Was way too heavy and not very flavorful. For dessert we had the tiramisu. A hard pass on this - had a defrosted refrigerator taste to it. We really expected and hoped for more of this family own business. As a second generation Italian/Sicilian American I know what I know. And I know this place is barely "Menza-menz..."

Caesar Salad

It was our first visit to Maestrale. Liked the upscale look of the place as soon as we walked in. We were there for an early dinner so the place was almost empty, that changed by the time we were finished. The restaurant is fairly small, a little over a dozen tables. Our smartly dressed server got us started and we had very good service for our entire visit. I started my meal with their Caesar Salad. It had that fresh crunchy romaine with cheese and plenty of good dressing. The dressing tasted like it was commercially made, which is fine. I should have asked if the dressing was homemade. If so they did a nice job. For my entrée I selected Fettucine Boscaiola, pasta with mushrooms, alfredo sauce, and white truffle oil. The sauce was not as thick as some Alfredo sauces. If you like the flavor of truffle oil you will like this dish. I certainly did. A good friend recommended we try Maestrale. I'm glad we did.

Lasagna with bechamel sauce

We went to Siesta key and wanted a place to have a really good Italian. This looks like a mom and pop type restaurant. The ambiance was cozy and classy. The food was spectacular. The mussels were good, but nothing to write home about. The lasagna is made with a béchamel sauce and it was absolutely spectacular. They have a good wine selection as well. Our only complaint was the service. It was absolutely awful. Our server took our wine order and drink order and we never saw her again. We had to flag down other waiters to help us. We were disappointed with the really bad service.

Chicken parm

We had a marvelous evening at Maestrale. You can really just feel the family vibes when you arrive. We arrived about an hour or so before close so we didn't have trouble finding a spot. They were very accommodating of our baby as well. We started with some wine and my wife had an aperol spritz which was very good she said. My buddy and I enjoyed our wine. Just had the house. They bring out complimentary bread and oil with some seasoning in it which was very good. I started with a Caesar salad which my wife and I both really enjoyed. I had the fettuccine boscsiola, very very good, noodles cooked perfectly along with the mushrooms. They grate the cheese on top at the table too which is a nice touch from a fresh Parmesan block. My buddy got the chicken parm said it was good not the best he's ever had but real solid. My wife got the gnocchi Gorgonzola, said the flavors were awesome enjoyed the gnocchi but wish she had my noodles with her sauce. The gnocchi was prepped perfectly from the couple bites I tried. We finished the night with the affogato. They use 3 different gelatos, vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate. My wife was skeptical of anything besides vanilla when ordering but absolutely loved the options. Strawberry was her favorite I loved the chocolate super rich. Our servers were great, sons of the owner. Gave us a little history of the restaurant and coming over from Italy. They also didn't rush us at all towards the end of our meal to leave as closing time approached. Definitely will be back and hope you check it out too.

The food here was great, make sure to have a reservation because this place is small. We were celebrating my mom birthday and they gave us good service and the best part was the tiramisu's homemade which I love. I will definitely come back.

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 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!

My girlfriend and I had dinner here and it elevated her weekend visiting. She loved the sweetbreads, wine and the atmosphere. A real compliment from a world traveler! This is a favorite for me!

I had the rack of lamb and chose the 4 chops which came with a dap of mash potatoes,a couple slices of carrots a dap of cabbage and dipping sauce. $64 for 4 small chops and daps of sides! Really! My friend had the duck which was a decent size. All in all way overpriced for the portion sizes. The inside hasn't changed in years and is way too noisy. Service was good.
