The kids got their pasta Alfredo, like usual and we did try their soup which was simple but good. My sister got the tortellini pasta. The food was delicious like always.

I will say we had eight in our party plus a baby and it was a little tricky to fit us all, but we ended up sitting outside and made it work. Always a pleasure visiting.

Not necessarily disliking their dinner, but feeling it was less than exceptional. This was not the case. Almost everyone ordered something different and were very please with the taste, quality and presentation of their dinner. So much so that we all ordered desserts. Thank you to the staff (including the chef) for a wonderful dining experience. The service was on point with the server checking to make sure our meal was perfectly prepared and our drinks were refilled. Overall it was a wonderful dining experience. We will be back.

For the most part purchasing Olive Oil off the shelf in food stores can be a challenge if you are…read moreexpecting quality EVO. My thoughts are don't even try. I recently read a book on Olive Oil by Marcie Weidemiller It was a most fascinating read on the history, religious, economics, health benefits as well as the political implications over the centuries of this liquid miracle. Her book leaves one learning how little we know about this ancient miracle food in an amber bottle. For me it was a revelation on how look for, buy, and use oil to maximize its benefits.

In Season, Saturday, March 21, 2026 - Two for take out lunch for the beach…read more My wife has been bragging about these folks for months so we thought to stop in and see how they are for a few sandwiches?! VERY GOOD is the short answer! My wife got the Polo Toscano - grilled chicken on an awesome sourdough bread that I believe comes in from New Jersey? She decided to take a little bite in their roomy parking lot!!!! AND the result was we did not make it over KMI/Hatchett Creek Bridge heading to Nokomis Beach..... I got the "stump"/end of the bread with a little bit of chicken / cheese etc. So will have to go by her assessment. 9/10 I got the Lukie - portabella, asparagus, zucchini, roasted red pepper cheese (provolone and they let me try a piece before they made the sandwich!!! WOW that is no Dietz & Watson or Publix brand cheese - right out of the Italian market in NY or Philly!!) They put balsamic and oil on and the veggies were sauté etc. And there in was the only issue. Flavor and ALL ingredients were great....... but the sourdough bread was a soggy sponge by the time I cracked it open on the beach about 30 minutes later. The vinegar, the liquids from the sauté, the oils and etc. I WILL be going back for this exact thing next time, BUT will get it "dry" or dressing on the side. I picked it apart and threw well over 1/2 the roll in the trash. 5/10 Really good first visit for me and EASY PEASY fix so check back on my update...... OR go there yourself and find out how great they are! I spoke to a few friends and the overwhelming feedback was very good food and selection....but prices are a bit high for a deli/takeout.

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.
