We have been searching for a great authentic Italian restaurant and we have finally found it! Sardinia met and exceeded all of our expectations! The cuisine was absolutely divine! All of our dishes were outstanding! We will definitely be returning! Well done chef and staff!❤️

Excellent Italian food! The pasta is homemade and very thin. I typically do not like to visit Italian restaurants because I feel that they are all the same however this place is a hidden gem. Small but very adequate wine list however no cocktails served. The service is also very good. Because of its small size do yourself a favor and make reservations for dinner beforehand. You will not be disappointed. On my visit I had the homemade ravioli stuffed with veal in a brown butter walnut sauce. Excellent!

What a gem! We are super picky foodies, and this restaurant is simply perfect! The food is exquisite, the ambiance is warm and cosy, and the service is on point. Our respects to the Chef/Owner!!! If you want a perfect authentic Italian restaurant, look no further!!!

Fantastic! Chef makes his own Bottarga. Carpaccio di pulpo, linguine with clams and bottarga, vitello Al forno all excellent with a Sardinian wine pairing… Can’t wait to go back and try the fregola pescatore.

This was our second visit, and Sardinia’s did not disappoint!. Everybody in our party was happy with their meal. I ordered the Culurgiones, and they were obviously fresh. So delicious! Somebody else in our party ordered the fresh fish, and the server prepared it table side. Two people ordered the gnocchi. They were very busy, but managed to attend to all the tables as a team. They could have used more help, but I think that is the way it goes these days. The one downside is the wine is overpriced, even for a restaurant.

Sardinia Restaurant is a must go in Sarasota. This tiny strip plaza mere feet from US 41 and next door to a Thai restaurant hides some of the best homemade Italian food I’ve had. The lasagna is better than all others but let it cool first. You were warned. Make reservations in season.

This intimate authentic Italian restaurant has just 11 white tablecloth draped tables in the main dining room. A few more in the bar area and outside, but we only make reservations for the main dining room which is decorated with authentic Sardinian decor. The waitstaff has remained the same for years and we are always remembered and greeted as though we are seeing old friends. The chef/owner Dino Carta bakes traditional Sardinian bread daily as well as all pastas /dishes are homemade. There are several traditional Sardinian meal selections on the menu as well as local fresh fish options, pasta, and some amazing mushroom dishes. I often order “Fettuccine ai funghi selvatici e pecorino fresco” / Fettuccine with wild mushrooms and fresh pecorino as it is one of my favorites , but I selected the Halibut, one of that evening fares which isn’t usually on the menu. (It was amazing. The fish was delicate and flaky and the flavors subtle.) I added a side of pasta because I can’t pass up homemade pasta! Carlos had the “Paella di fregola con pesce misto e bottarga,” / Sardinian Paella with fregola, mixed seafood and bottarga which he said he won’t order again as he thought it was too rich as a main dish and was wishing he ordered one of his two standards the Lasagne or the Chicken Milanese. We shared a bottle of Vermentino a Sicilian white wine somewhere between a Pino Gregorio and a Chardonnay. It perfectly complemented our meal and a nice diversion from our usual Sauvignon Blanc. We skipped dessert as we were celebrating his birthday and went home to eat cake on the dock!

Amazing restaurant! Went for the first time today and had Ariadna as our waitress. She was so funny and kind. The veal ravioli was amazing as well as the wild mushroom fettuccine. Would definitely recommend!
