One of the best Pizza’s I have ever had. SO good!
![5]( "Recensione")
We do family pizza night every Saturday and thought we had been to every place in town. We were surprised to learn of Cafe Amalfi and on a tip from a stranger we gave it a try. We dropped in on a Saturday at about 8p and there were only 2 other tables seated so it was quiet. The service was really good (pretty sure he was the owner). The food came out super quick, almost surprising fast, yet it was perfectly cooked. The pizza crust was thin, but not too thin, it was just thick enough to give nice stability but not so dough’ie that you felt stuffed after one piece. The crust flavor was outstanding. The fresh mushrooms were the best we’ve ever had on a pie, hearty slices so they didn’t cook down to mush. French fries were good too, steak fries. It’s not a complaint, but a comment, the French Fry appetizer portion is kinda small. We ended up with like 15 to 18 fries per order so keep that in mind based on the size of your group and passion to crush fries. All in all, great find and we’ll certainly visit again.
We visited here this afternoon for lunch. We've talked about visiting for quite a while but haven't had the time to drop in. Well after today we are SUPER glad we stopped and ate because it was delicious and everything was very authentic. Restaurant at first appearance walking in was much nicer than expected and the owner took great care of us. The Antipasto was perfect with plenty of meat and just the right amount of greens. (Very little). The Stromboli's were delicious and my wife's fried Eggplant parmesan was to die for according to her. Please go check out this locally owned restaurant and you won't be disappointed! Thank you for the great experience, delicious food and authenticity!
Café Amalfi is a great place to enjoy a real comfort food and atmosphere, I enjoyed watching the UCONN women's basketball game yesterday while I was eating one of the best pizzas in Sarasota. This restaurant reminds me of home back in Connecticut. Thanks for serving great food. 👍
Can't rate the atmosphere as I ordered through ubereats, but I can say one thing, they have some of the best bruschetta I've ever ordered! Garlic knots are good, and I know chicken fettucine alfredo is not authentic Italian but it's definitely some of the best I've had in the area. Even with delivery the presentation was good.
Authentic Italian, homemade flavors and deliciousness all around.
This was by far the best Italian I've had in a while! You can hear the accent of garlic in their voices! We ended up ordering in and they were kind enough to deliver. Hope to try dine in next time. I had the scallops Dia hotness! It was the perfect spice!
I had been wanting to go but just didnt have the time but I went and OMG!!! Not only was the owner personable but the entire experience was very homey, professional and de-lish!! I found my new go-to place, there is a variety of food to chose from, all the way to the gelato. The grandma pizza, I thought I died and went to heaven!! Just the rite crunchiness and a robust flavor!! Im back for sure!!!

Whenever we travel, we always look for local and preferably cafe like restaurants, as they’re cute and cozy with authentic food. This place nailed it. I’m fairly certain we had the owner serving us, which once again is why we choose these places. Marinara my son had…fantastic. Wife had bowtie pancetta, had a ton of flavor. And I got the Veal Francese which was off the menu but I asked about it, and was so good. Don’t go to Carraba’s that’s 100 feet away. GO HERE!
Very nice restaurant, very authentic italian food. Very nice blend of flavors. We got the baked raviolis one night and had to come back the second time. The tiramisu was amazing! A Must try. The owner was very personable and polite with us.
We’re in town for vacation and I had the garlic knots, pizza, and stromboli and it was amazing. The guy working there was super friendly.
Had the Sicilian Salad and Chef Salad with Pasta Fagioli soup and all the ingredients were fresh. Proprietor was extremely hospitable with prompt service.
We've lived in Sarasota for over six years and recently found this gem! Best pizza in Sarasota!
First time here. Our group had the owner made tiramisu, creme brulee and gelato cake. Everyone of them was fantastic!! Now we need to return for the food.
