Good but certainly not great. I had the seafood & pasta which was very good. My wife had the ravioli (a favorite of hers). Very weak sauce (not red). She had to request a side of sauce. Our guest ordered the linguine with clams. She said it was "good" but I could tell it didn't wow her.I think our server was having an off evening. It seemed like he had missed his vitamin B-12 shot that day or something.All in all, it was a very forgettable evening.The thing is, it's pretty tough to miss on spaghetti. Raviolis are an Italian staple and linguie with clam sauce is simple.They are pretty proud of their food with the prices they charge and they simply aren't anything special.There are lots of Italian places in Sarasota that are better and more reasonably priced.We have no reason to return.Read less

This place is a hidden gem. The homemade pasta is spectacular. My ravioli was paper thin. Our server was over the top attentive. Last year on our vacation we visited twice in the week that we were in town. We will be back.

Wow! We have just added a great restaurant to our eating out rotation. The food is fabulous. We had the mushroom and cheese appetizer, then split an order of lasagna and split an order of the seafood bullabaise (SP?). They were all just fabulous. Then we topped it off with Vanilla gelato and a shot of espresso drizzled over top. The food and wine were great!!

Ariana, our waiter, was extremely efficient, very hospitable and gave us answers to our questions of the foods prepared on point. We have been trying to find an Italian restaurant that is on par with a few we have home (NJ / NY) but they are few and far between. This restaurant is the best and we will definitely be returning. Their native dish "Curligiones" were amazing and the tomato sauce was GREAT!

We've been to Sardinia twice now and it is top notch! The food is delicious and incorporates plenty of unique flavor combinations. The waitstaff is enthusiastic and gracious. Both times we have dined in, the chef has stopped by to ask about our meal, which is a nice touch and shows they truly care about their food.Cute little restaurant. This will be on our regular vacation dinner rotation from now on!

Another memorable meal at Sardinia. Our server, Adrianna took great care of us, indulging our special requests ( change this, split that), and we can’t wait to be back!

We have loved this restaurant for years. Over the years more tables have been added to accommodate more guests but gave it a less attractive ambience. Last night we invited some friends to join us and it did not turn out as well as we hoped. Seated at a four top next to a two top placed in the middle of the room and a 6 top behind us. The six top was celebrating a birthday and had most likely celebrating much earlier in the day. Once seated, the 6 top took over the entire room. We could not talk to our guests due to the noise level of our neighbors. Guests coming in after us refused to sit in the main room and either left or were seated outside. The manager did nothing to quiet this group down. One of the six nearly knocked me out of our seat trying to get to the bathroom. Unfortunately, 3 out of 4 of our entrees were over cooked but rather than reorder we had to leave to get outside for piece and quiet. This restaurant is way better than this. For the last 10 years a 5 but this time a 3. So sad.

This is such an enjoyable restaurant! The food is spectacular, truly Italian (specifically Sardinian), very delicate with fresh delicious ingredients. The owner chef is always on site to ensure excellence, and the staff is friendly, accommodating and efficient. Also their wine list is top-notch and not outrageously expensive. Hands-down our favorite restaurant in Sarasota. 
An authentic, thoughtfully prepared Italian meal - I savored every bite!! Also the waitress was above and beyond helpful, lovely and detail oriented. I adored this restaurant and this evening.

Because of the overflow they sat us outside and we had to contend with exhaust filled parking lot and noisy Latin music from the restaurant next door. That said the food and service were good but not excellent.

As usual, everything we ate was delicious, especially the lasagna, the linguini with mixed seafood, the mixed seafood salad and especially the Grand Marnier ice cream and the gelato affogato. Even though the restaurant was very busy, the service was excellent.
A favorite whenever we are back in the area. It only gets better and based on a packed restaurant the secret is out. The wine and food is so good. There are only a few Sardinian restaurants in the US. It's a real treat. Can't wait to go back.

Very good Italian food, large portions and reasonably priced relative to other Sarasota restaurants. Definitely caters to an older crowd. Very friendly service. Great bread basket. Quite loud if that's a concern. All in all we enjoyed our dinner and will be back.
