Yesterday I ordered takeout and the experience left a lot to be desired. I arrived about 10 minutes after the quoted pickup time. My food was not in the takeout pickup area, so I did head to the counter. There were three staff members visible behind the front counter, one who was actively working and two, Brooke and Kari, who were talking to each other and some friends of theirs by the counter. The conversation was not work appropriate. While Brooke saw me, she was slow to approach the counter and offer assistance. When I advised I was picking something up she said it was likely being finished up, but she didn't seem to actually check at all. During this whole interaction, I could see a salad on the counter that I assumed, correctly would be mine. It sat waiting to be bagged for several minutes. This was ultimately packaged by a gentleman who appeared to be a manager who was on the phone all the time. The two girls who had been chatting with each other also spent substantial time talking with him. As he was "multitasking" this seemed to make the packaging take forever. When he bagged it he just set it on a side counter for another employee to take over to the pickup area, ignoring context clues that it might be for the sole person waiting nearby. It was just not an experience I expect from a Pura Vida, which is a pricier fast casual restaurant. As a customer, I felt ignored and not valued.

The chicken noodle dish looked fantastic & my friend enjoyed it. I had the chopped veggie salad & really liked it. My other friend got a wrap & did not care for the actual wrap but enjoyed the inside of it along with the salad that came with it. My other friend got the avocado caesar & it was very heavily dressed & she didn't eat much of it. I noticed that they take a very long time to clear the dishes from the tables. We liked sitting in the shade outside but I guess with love bug season, we should have sat inside! I'd probably give it another try!

Lunch today was a VERY pleasant surprise.

The storefront is nothing special at all, you order from a big tablet screen and then they have standard fast-casual seating. It doesn't look fancy at all and the restroom situation is weird (you have to go outside through a back alley for the men's restroom?). The workers were nice but I was only hoping for "solid" food. Then I took my first bite of the mixed-shwarma sandwich, and it was sublime. Perfectly cooked and well seasoned tender meat, they press the pita with just the right amount of salad/pickles, so the pita is crunchy and the meat isn't overwhelmed with too much salad like so often happens. Their house fries were spiced deliciously and fried fresh (which makes us want to try the Falafel, which we also saw them frying fresh). The food was *fantastic*, making it one of those diamond-in-the-rough places that you'd never guess had such good food. We're looking forward to going back and trying more on the menu, highly recommend if you're near UTC mall.

Stopped by Al forno Mediterranean Grill in UTC Sarasota with my uncle and had a good experience…read moreoverall. The food was solid, your typical Mediterranean cuisine but I will say it's a bit on the pricey side if you're just trying to grab a quick lunch. The tabbouleh parsley was chopped a bit larger than I personally prefer. I usually like it more finely chopped, but it was still fresh and enjoyable. Service was quick and the food came out fast, which I appreciated. There's limited seating inside, so it seems like it's set up more for takeout than dining in. Overall, a good spot. Just keep the pricing and seating in mind depending on what you're looking for.
