Il Panificio - Sarasota

We stayed for our 25th anniversary in Siesta Key and gave this beautiful little place an attempt. The restaurant was a little hard to find, but we're so glad we found it because it was the best food we had in a time. We both had the halibut (different preparations) and it was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked and melted in our mouth. The risotto and asparagus that accompanied it were also perfect and tasty. Everything from the Calamari app, the bread with a fabulous tomato basil Butter Concoction and olive oil sides was amazing, and the key lime cake was the perfect measure of tartness and creaminess. Finally, Tom, our server was friendly, professional and attentive, and had great recommendations. Don't miss this jewel of a restaurant! We're coming back!

Chef Wes consistently offers the freshest and most delicious seafood dishes. We were thrilled to discover his new restaurant location. Our meal was fantastic and I am excited to return with friends. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Go away from home. I came with my two daughters looking for a single slice of pepperoni pizza. The owner was very friendly while he helped us and felt my daughters as if they had ordered them. Both children and family loved how friendly everyone was. Kindness goes a long way and also her pizza. Everyone also enjoyed the paprika. Too many more years of success. You all deserve it!

We are delighted that Off the Hook Seafood was reopened. We booked a table and had a wonderful dinner. Wow! The shells were great and our dishes were delicious. Cashew Crusted and Rockefeller — only two of several prep styles. The same great food, new, cozy location.

The food at this restaurant was amazing. I ordered the fresh Red Snapper, while my wife had the Crab Cakes. Both dishes were hot and deliciously cooked. The service was fantastic, with our server being friendly and attentive. The Key Lime Pie we had for dessert was absolutely heavenly. Felix Aviva in Toronto, Canada is a must-try!
