Classico crushed it, exceeded all expectations. The prosecco and cheese plate paired nicely. Fresh calamari and sauvignon blanc were exceptionally refreshing. The beef carpaccio was so fresh it mooed on the way down, was on point. The sliders were the best I've had, matched them with a varietally correct merlot for the win. Closed it out with a spiced carrot cake and tawny port. Loving life. Thank you to Classico for having us today!

I went there last night for my birthday and had the best time! The food is excellent! I definitely recommend the fish tacos! Then the DJ started and the place got packed! It is the best place to be for Sarasota night life!
Very nice atmosphere, drinks were amazing and we even got to sample their homemade lemoncello! It was delicious!!! I didn’t have dinner but I have eaten there before and the food was wonderful...
Best staff, food and atmosphere any day are spot on but the weekend nights is when this place comes alive. Filet mignon flat bread is my favt .
Great service and great food!!! What a super fun and relaxing way to enjoy Sarasota. Take advantage of their outdoor seating. It's really nice :) I highly recommend this spot!
Best Croque Madame this side of the Atlantic! It's a must do when in Sarasota. Brunch is top of the line & perfect for a family get together!
Clasico is my go-to stop whenever I'm in the area! Ambience is incredible, as is the food! From eclectic to comfort food, I've never had a bad meal or drink!
One of my top 5 places to eat! Love the atmosphere food staff and owners
Food and atmosphere are the best in Sarasota! And after that a great place to hang out with friends.
The place to go for lunch, dinner, drinks and dancing. Some would say romancing :).
I was fortunate enough to wander into Clasico for a Sunday Brunch salad this morning. I was extremely impressed by how comfortable and attractive it is. Jonathan was my waiter and he was absolutely great! Gave me great info on fun and various happenings they have. My warm goat cheese salad was excellent. I will definitely be going back!
Rediscovered this treasure of a restaurant in downtown Sarasota. We came on Sunday morning at 11AM for brunch. I started with the Lox Crostini small plate. The chopped egg, red onion, dill, everything bagel spice and whipped cream goat cheese was a perfect blend of flavors to compliment the smoked salmon. I highly recommend this to start and it comes on two pieces of ciabatta bread if you want to share (I did not, lol). For a main I had the Italian Biscuits & Gravy which was unbelievably delicious. Perhaps a smidge over indulgent, but f@#$ it I'm having a two course breakfast so I'm past caring about that. My friend had the Steak & Egg Tacos which clearly looked amazing. Overall I was highly impressed and will certainly be back. Other observations... Bar area looked more than accommodating if you want to come for just drinks. Plenty of outdoor seating. Very nice booths for a double date or groups. Sabrina the waitress did an excellent job. Especially in accommodating a barrage of drink orders. Also got to meet the owner who was friendly.
Clasico is one of my absolute favorite spots in downtown Sarasota!! The food is fantastic - clearly made with high quality, fresh ingredients and the staff is an absolute pleasure. Not to mention, the ambiance is like nothing else you'll find in the area.
Hunter is always an outstanding server (I ask for him every time) and I adore the manager, Josh, who is always attentive to his patrons throughout their time at his restaurant. Do yourself a favor and enjoy a meal at Clasico! ✨🤌🏻
Everything here was great. I have been to a "fancy" restaurant here in Sarasota yet, and this was my first one. I got the Strawberry Mule and it was fantastic, one of my favorite alcoholic beverages ever. The burger was one of the best I've ever had. And then the Donuts were on another level. It was a great place and worth the price of everything. Definitely want to come back here at some point
We had a perfect brunch at Clasico. The espresso martinis paired so well with Rockefeller oysters, and we finished with Italian biscuits and gravy. Excellent staff and local ownership- I highly recommend dining with Clasico!
First time having brunch here and it was surprisingly good! We got the French toast, americano, eggs Benedict, and a pizza. Everything tasted amazing and or server, Eddie, was very attentive. Will be coming back
This was our second visit to Clasico both times we had live music and a nice vibe. It’s a great atmosphere and the food and service were good both times. I would recommend stopping in and giving it a try if you are in the area.
My server Rita tonight was on point and had a great suggestion on wine. She was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Because of Rita I will definitely return. Anytime I come in I will ask for her and you should too! Thank you for the great experience!!!! Got to see Chef Brandon work his magic
Came here once before, and it was excellent. This time, the food was, for the most part, very good. The only problem was that one of us ordered a simple pasta with butter and parmesan cheese. It was brought with mozzarella, and when we brought it to the servers' attention, her response was, "we don't have parmesan." they should have said that instead of trying to pass mozzarella as parmesan. The atmosphere and vibe are awesome. I still recommend this place because overall, it's great. Maybe our server could have responded a little different to us.
This is an awesome Italian restaurant. Hunter gave us great service recommending wines that paired perfectly with our food. The red sauce is great spicy but no to spicy. The best Capreese sandwich I’ve ever tasted. Pasta is fresh and made in house.
I don’t think I’ve ever had such impeccable service or food! Seriously, we had a wedding rehearsal lunch here and the waitstaff and mgr were above and beyond phenomenal. And the food was fantastic! Honestly I don’t think we could’ve had a better experience and I want to thank the staff for such a memorable and fun event. I would not hesitate to recommend this fine establishment to anyone!
We had the fig and prosciutto pizza and both were delicious. Devin was an excellent waiter and the atmosphere is great.
A +! I made a reservation to dine. The location was perfect. Our server and the front of house crew was one of the finest teams. Wow the barkeep created such memorable cocktails. The steak was juicy and perfectly grilled.
The chef’s skills were exquisite, what a culinary honor to dine here. Our oyster appetizer tasted delightful. The dishes were very petite. Our entrée was to die for last night. I encourage you to look at my photos.
Went for a birthday party and had a blast, a bit pricy but the food is very goof quialty.
We love Clasico and as full time Sarasota people, we eat there often. Tonight was in particularly impressive. Our waitress, Carla, was amazing. It was a busy night and she had many large parties, but she still took excellent care of the two of us. The timing of our meal was perfect, and she made sure drinks were regularly refilled. She checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed. I had the skirt steak - my first time trying it. Absolutely excellent. My partner had the pasta with cream sauce - one of our standbys - and he loved it. Thanks for a wonderful evening Carla!
My group and I had gone there for the first time to celebrate a birthday and it was spectacular! Our server, Fred was so kind and patient with us, and checked up on us every so often. The musician/singer Rob (I hope I said the correct name) accompanied the atmosphere with serene music and sang in different languages! To top it off, the food was amazing - it was a never-ending meal! 100/10 recommend!
When we recount the experiences from our vacation to Florida, Clasico stands out as one of the shining moments. It was one of the only restaurants open past 9PM on a weekend. We made our way over, not knowing what we were getting into. The food was amazing, the staff was welcoming and friendly. I wish I could remember our waitress' name to give her kudos. She had recommended the doughnuts for dessert. The first bite had the heavens opening up and beams of light enveloping us in a euphoric glow. Loved it all.
My wife and I are in town for a wedding and we were told this place was the perfect spot for late night eats.
Well let me tell you, it wasn't good, it was amazing! Dirty martinis, old fashions with chocolate bitters, oven fired pizza and carpaccio. Dessert was epic! Freshly made doughnuts with ice cream! You can't pass this place by.
Amara was our bartender and she was super attentive and awesome! Great recommendations and friendly service. 🍸🥃🍕
Would recommend 💯
