They sell good pies here, just don't call it "NY Style". Extra thin and crispy crust it is not, neither is it loaded with cheese and sauce. They do get extra point for selling slices to satisfy sudden cravings (but not enough to want to eat a whole pie.) Love the name 'Patel'-lini. Mr. Patel should try inventing new pies -- chicken tikki masala pizza, tandoori chicken pizza, vindaloo seafood pizza,... just make the crust extra thin and crispy. read more

I did not get to try the food as the service was so unfriendly. No greeting when I walked up to counter to order. 3 guys up there and not a single hello or acknowledgement of my presence. I ordered, paid, tipped, and asked very nicely for my slice to be cooked well done / crispy and sat down to wait. 4 or 5 min later, the guy at counter just called out "pepperoni" when it was done and I went to counter to pick up. There was only 1 other occupied table in there - no one else waiting for food as they were already eating - but the counter guy could not even be bothered to walk the slice over to my nearby table or even to say thank you or enjoy or anything. Just shoved the plate at me when I went up to the counter. The slice was undercooked and floppy / greasy looking and so I asked for it to be cooked more and then a different guy started arguing about the doneness. I said never mind, I don't even want it any more and walked out. Everyone there was decidedly apathetic to downright rude. No thanks and never again. On a night the rest of the nearby restaurants were full, they were empty. I suspect that others have found the same lackluster experience and poor service to be a turnoff as well. . read more

After one extra-long day at the beach in Sarsota, we decided to just order in...so I chose this pizza joint again! We actually ordered from here on our last stay a few years ago...and chose it again. Just as I remembered it, the pizza slices were HUGE. Guess it's a New York Style Pizza! They were able to accommodate our request for half Bacon, and half Pepperoni...so Yay! As expected, they were delish. However, I recall it being even better before...or could it be that I've had one too many exceptional pizzas since then...or maybe I wasn't hungry enough?? I still say their pizza is solid...and very New York. Pricing was reasonable, considering its huge size...and delivery was super-quick! Definitely up for reordering in the future. read more

I really like Mr Patel's Italian restaurant. I've been going here since it was in its original location sometime back in the 1990s. This eggplant parmesan sub I ordered was about as long as my index finger. I should have put a quarter or something next to it for scale. It's just disappointing that the sandwich size has shrunk in half basically. This feels scammy.... read more

An absolute scam of a shop. This was the worst pizza I've ever eaten.

Very meh pizza. Came here to get a slice of cheese and white pizza. The white pizza was very under-seasoned and tasted like I was eating plain unsalted ricotta on bread. There was no umami, sweet, sour, salt, or bitter taste to it. The cheese pizza was overly greasy and also disappointing. Save your money and go somewhere else. The ambiance was also depressing. It was 8pm on a Friday night and the place was empty and the workers were vacuuming. read more

Chix parm was ordered and received a very small processed piece of chic which was tough. Sandwich was small to begin with.

Got a large sausage pie to go on a Saturday night, figured I'd keep it light since I had a big day of TV watching planned for the next day. The inside was clean and the staff was friendly. The large pizza is massive (no complaints here). It's advertised as New York style pizza, and it definitely is. The crust isn't thick, but it's also not too thin, it's right in the middle. Generous on the toppings and cooked well. It wasn't too flaccid, as shown in the photos below. Passed the flaccid test, it didn't just flop over when the pizza was held by the crust. The pie was cooked exceptionally , but it didn't have a ton of flavor, that's why I'm going with four stars instead of five. The place is definitely worth a try. read more

Growing up in New Jersey, I kind of took it for granted that there would always be great pizza. In Jersey, it seemed every strip mall and almost every corner had a place that had some great pizza. Since moving down south 20 years ago, I was just made to learn that good pizza was not available in every strip mall or every corner. No, good pizza is an elusive treasure to hunt for. So, while in Sarasota and seeking good pizza, fate brought me here. Unfortunately, it was not a kind fate as the pizza was bland and not that far removed from say a Papa John's. read more

Meh... We had such high hopes; but they were dashed. - Pizza toppings were scarce. - Fountain drinks were rationed out for you from behind the counter like it's 1982. - Prices certainly carry a posh downtown premium. - Flavor on the veggie pizza was bland. If it were 1:45am and we were leaving the club starving for some food, I'm sure this would be great choice. However, as a destination choice to enjoy a pizza with the family, it falls short. On the plus side, it was clean and walking down Main Street after dinner is always a nice time. read more

It was fine After reading some of the other reviews I decided to pay attention for smiles from the people working at Patellinis, and saw none. This is a business only place, not a happy place. That said, it was not unpleasant to order a couple of slices and a drink. They offer 2 cheese slices and a drink for $5.99, which is a pretty good deal. I got mine with pepperoni which added .55 per slice, still not a bad deal. The slices were heated up in just a few minutes and were very hot. The slices were tasty, plenty of cheese and lots of oil. The place was fine. They have a few TVs and had background music. Convenient for those working at lower Main St, street parking can be a challenge for those motoring in. Watch your step leaving, the mat in front of the door looks like you could easily trip. read more

I love the crust on the pizzas here! Thin and crispy just the way I like it! I don't think Flordia in general has great pizza but I'm from Boston so of course, you can't compare pizza from Sarasota to a slice from the North End in Boston. I miss the pizza from NY and Boston but this pizza place isn't bad! The prices are fairly priced as well. The best place about this is that it is open late at night on Fridays so I always try to grab a slice after the bar before I head home. read more

This is one of my favorite Pizzerias in town! First of all, the location is great, right near downtown Sarasota, great on weekends to stroll thru downtown and grab a bite to eat. The restaurant is easy to find and interior is clean and spacious. Obviously, the best part about the place is the pizza. Their NY style pizza is delicious, cooked to perfection, drizzled with just enough pizza grease to remind me of Queens, NY. The staff is super friendly, the owner was there last time we went in and he checked on us and other patrons dining in. Next time you're craving some amazing authentic NY style pizza in the heart of Sarasota, go check this place out.... you can thank me later. read more

Once you see it, a large mural of an Italian pizza maker holding up NY with the Italian flag splashed in the background, you know you've arrived. We were greeted even before we reached the door and offered a choice of dining inside or outdoors. They have a large outdoor area that is shielded from the parking lot, nice, but we opted to sit inside for some a/c. Our server was right over and got us started with drinks while we looked over the menu. She was so nice, attentive, helpful, and upbeat for the entire time we were there, a real pleasure. As for the food, we decided to split their Greek Salad and a Prosciutto Arugula 12" pizza. They offer both 12 and 18" pies. This was not the pizza I would have selected, I'm more a Meat Lovers Supreme carnivore, but it was my wife's choice tonight. I thought the salad was pretty standard, lots of Feta cheese and a generous amount of dressing in a container. My wife left me all the red onion slivers, maybe not her best decision, and took almost all of the olives. The salad was still fine, lots of green. Our pizza was also brightly green, what with all the arugula on top. Like more salad. But underneath was an excellent pizza crust, like they describe on their menu with a bit of NY char. While I missed all the greasy meat, the prosciutto was very flavorful, a top of the line ingredient. A hint of truffle oil added to the mix and pieces of a hard Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano) added more. I have to admit, it was a pretty good pizza.

The appetizer was really good but I think it could have been elevated a notch if the dip was more of a lemon base dipping sauce. The pizzas were both thin and very tasty, nice tomato base, I liked the little difference of crust (thin & crunchy) compared to your normal softer crust on an Italian wood fired pizza. I like when I'm able to have preferences on pizza crusts on any given day. I would like to go back and try something else next time to see what this little spot has to offer.

Here's a polished review you can use:…read more If you're in Sarasota and craving great pizza, don't let the modest appearance of Antonio's Pizza Pit fool you--this place is a hidden gem. The pizza comes out fast with a perfectly thin crust, a slightly smoky flavor, and just the right balance of crisp and chew. It's simple, classic, and done really well. One of the best surprises is that they share space with a donut shop, so dessert is literally just a few steps away--perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. Antonio himself is incredibly friendly and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in, delivering the kind of personal service that keeps people coming back. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality you get. Absolutely worth the stop if you're looking for delicious, no-frills pizza in town.

I want to apologize for the previous post on this establishment. My post was mixed up with another…read morerestaurant in a different city. I experienced excellent service, friendly staff and one bodacious Stromboli. I requested a slight modification by removing the peppers and replacing it with mustard. The cook nailed it to perfection. Again, please except my apologies.

Great food great price

I'm not one to give out 5 starts just for fun, but Ripfire has earned it. First, let's be clear:…read moreit's a casual eatery on an island. So the 5 stars are reflective of that. Each time we've eaten at Ripfire, we've had success. They begin by importing specific flour from Italy, and all of the ingredients are made in house. The delicious tangy sauce that's used is made daily from San Mariano tomatos- also imported from Italy. Yes, please. The crispy crust and ooey gooey cheese create the perfect combination of fresh and delicious. Our go to pizzas are usually the margherita and a pepperoni, mushroom situation. Delicious- every time. Pair a pizza with a fresh Caesar salad from there and you're hard to beat a better comfort meal. You can people watch by bellying up to the outdoor eating area that faces the street, or sit inside while still enjoying the view. Reasonable pricing, an assortment of beverages, great atmosphere and friendly service combined with consistent and flavorful food are what'll keep us going back to Ripfire.

I was skeptical that I would find something suitable to eat as a vegan, but I was surprised at the menu. I was able to build my own veggie pie and the chef did not disappoint with the mix of ingredients! I wish I had taken a photo because it was delicious. I asked for a simple mix of olives, spinach, arugula, and tomato, no sauce, and lots of dried red pepper flakes. They graciously drizzled olive oil on top so it wouldn't be dry as well. Chef's kiss! Sometimes simple is better and in this case it was delicious!

I ordered the lasagna and I'd go back just so I can have it again! It was delicious! The service was excellent. Friendly and attentive. Also loved the feel of the restaurant. Very homey and comfortable. If you're in the area, don't hesitate to check this place out!

This place is always so busy, so I would suggest asking a reso…read more The staff are friendly, kind and do a great job. I would highly recommend the antipesto board. The mains are okay but the apps are much better. They have some great bottles of wine!

I love this restaurant! We've been coming since 2019 when we bought our new home in Sarasota. The…read morestaff is wonderful, the food is deliciously prepared, and the place is comfortable and unpretentious. Love this for Sarasota. We've come to enjoy coming here when Doug is working. He's been here for some time now and it's great to see he's still at Bavaro's. What a great guy!! Gabrielle has been another staff member that goes well above and beyond to make sure our dining experience is wonderful. *my only concern is that there is no elevator to accommodate ADA guests upstairs. We came for dinner on a cold night when the rain was blowing sideways outdoors. Our visiting family member had trouble going up and coming down the stairs. Sad really. The indoors on the first floor is very small and cramped.

Well unfortunately this was not the Bavaro's we usually love. Our waiter was terrible!!! He asked…read moreus how he should bring our food out. We told him as soon as a dish was ready bring it out. We waited and waited and finally he came out with all of the dishes at the same time. My Bolognese was warm but my pizza was cold. My wife's Rigatoni al Fughi was cold and the chicken was tough. The chopped Italian salad was cold of course however the chicken was tough. My son's meatball appetizer was warm but his Gary's Chicken Parm was cold. Our waiter was no where to be found! When he finally came back, he stood there like a deer in headlights. Did nothing and said nothing. We asked for more water and napkins and never saw those. Hopefully he was a fill in. We saw our usual waitress who is always SUPER! Just a bad experience at a usually great restaurant!

Amazing wood fired pizza all the way…read more Every aspect of their pizza is incredible. They show up at LWR Waterside food truck nights plus other pop ups as well. We stalk their Instagram account for their next location. https://www.instagram.com/vesuviosarasota?igsh=NGphaTBwdjdjNmlt This is my FAVORITE PIZZA I admit I'm a pizza snob and the flavor of the sauce with the basil is happiness in my mouth. After moving to Fl I was afraid I'd left all the good pizza behind but not the case. Thank you Vesuvio for making a delicious pizza for this pizza snob. You guys won my heart and soul. Thank you for welcoming me to Sarasota.
