I was here a few weeks ago on a trip to visit family. Stopped in because it was SO hot and the guys working the counter gave me a complimentary drink. Really friendly, kind people, and charming neighborhood vibe. Would definitely come here again and support a local business!

Admittedly I am not a Philly cheesesteak connoisseur. I saw this restaurant purely by taking a wrong turn and wanted to try it. You order at the counter. The lady at the counter happily helped me choose the options....and your food is brought out to you. The restaurant has about 6 tables but I did not have a problem getting one. I liked the onion rings. They tasted homemade. I could take or leave the cheesesteak but again.... I wouldn't know a good or bad one. I would try the place again for the Italian hoagie. It reminders me of the grinders back home in Connecticut.

Best Cheesesteak in Florida! This was better than 95% of cheesesteaks I ate while living in Philly last year. I ordered through uber eats, it arrived hot and was absolutely amazing. Can't wait to eat there in person!

Consistently fabulous, and a good value! We have been frequenting this restaurant since it's opening, and I've never been disappointed. Grateful they are in the neighborhood!

I’m from Philly and can vouch for this place. They make real Philly cheesesteaks. Even serve them on Amarosa rolls!

Fast friendly service! I work at a car dealership and I don’t ever have time for lunch. And I certainly don’t have time to sit and wait. They got me in and got me out really fast. Everything was hot and fresh. Definitely

We all know that word of mouth is the best advertisement....Well all I can say is Wow!!!!!I'm from Philadelphia and it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to get a REAL CheeseSteak Hoagie outside of Philly......Now I can say that all things are possible, cause the homies at Gentile's are right on point. I appreciate the hometown feel (memorabilia and conversation) and the food was MAGNIFICENT!So good in fact , I had to order one to take with me?If you're in the area (and even if you're not) make sure you add this to your "must visit" list. It's well worth the drive.Bravo Gentile's........Thank you for representing the city in stellar fashion!

Friendly staff and the sports memorabilia is a nice touch.A taste of Philadelphia in Sarasota. Cheesesteak was comparable to the many I’ve had in Philadelphia.Recommended.

Web site saiys closes at 6:30 pm. Stop by at 6 pm tonight and the place was closed and dark inside. Very disappointed that I drove there from Venice since I heard good comments about the Cheese Stakes.

Joe Sheehan

Great cheesesteak. Just like South Philly. It’s a hike for me which is a good thing or I might eat there every day.Parking: Easier to enter from Bruekner Drive rather than from the Trail. I missed the driveway and had to make a couple of U-Turns before I actually found it. Driveway off the Trail is easy to miss.

Okay so I just had 1 of the best cheessteaks outside the Philly area. The owners were so thoughtful in getting my sandwich to me fast. I ate half the sandwich in the parking lot. I couldn't wait and they also turned me on to the local ice tea. Can't wait to go back.
