Clasico Italian Chophouse - Sarasota (FL)

5 /5 Christan Lanigan: I had a wonderful Sunday brunch at Classico after church! My friends and I tried a variety of dishes— my friend got the kale salad, I had the short rib hash, another friend ordered the steak and egg entree along with the smoked salmon small plate, and my sister got the 1341 Benedict and some waffles. Everything we tried was delicious and beautifully presented. Chef Brandon does a great job. For drinks, I had the La Vie en Gold, which comes in a martini glass and even had cute little hearts on top which was such a sweet touch! I’m not typically a bourbon drinker, but I love amaretto, and this cocktail is always a favorite of mine. My friend had the Frequent Flyer, it was good, but I still preferred mine. The service was excellent. Our server was personable, friendly, and took the time to answer all our questions. She made sure my friends, who were new to the restaurant, had a great experience, and I appreciated how attentive she was throughout brunch. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere all came together to make a really enjoyable Sunday brunch. I’m glad we tried Classico for brunch, it didn’t disappoint! ☺️

5 /5 Lance Ziegler: This place was exceptionally great! The food here is so delicious. The braised short rib stuffed ravioli with mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach in a creamy brown sauce was so good. And the gorgonzola stuffed gnocchi with steak, wild mushrooms, white wine and pesto was full a flavor. Both dishes were amazingly delicious. The atmosphere was street side for us. Dining outside was pleasant. The inside is a bit noisy. Our server Elizabeth was great. She took good care of us and made our first time experience at Clasico a great one. As a local Sarasota resident, I would highly recommend you try Clasico. You wont be disappointed.

5 /5 Eliza Barone: Delicious food and gorgeous place to dine! Pasta was homemade and fresh. Everything we had was fantastic. Menu is a great size, so they have something for everyone. We’re from ATL, but we will definitely revisit if we ever come back to Sarasota!

5 /5 Zander Navratil: One of the few places Ive been where I can resoundingly say I love and have no notes to improve upon. The atmosphere is incredible and paired with an attentive and lovely wait staff. The food is exceptional and reasonably priced for such incredible quality along with very quick time from order to food served. Highly recommend the short rib pizza and the chef ravioli. Cannot recommend enough, indeed one of the best places in Sarasota!

5 /5 Hannah Ranfranz: One of our favorite spots! Amazing food and incredible dessert! The short rib pizza was one of my favorites ever. Had to come back for another salad and grouper. House made donuts fresh were beyond delicious! Great drinks & wine! Awesome atmosphere and wonderful bartenders! We love Bailey!
