“Artisanal and Contemporary Northern Italian dishes”
About us With it's modern but classic Italian cuisine and emphasis on artisanal and contemporary Northern Italian style, Mediterraneo is often credited with being the first restaurant to bring authentic contemporary Italian cuisine to Sarasota when it first opened in 1996. Still under that same ownership, Mediterraneo has consistently been rated one of the top restaurants in Florida’s Zagat Survey. The restaurant has received numerous accolades including the acclaimed Insegna Del Ristorante Italiano awarded by The Minister of Agriculture & Commerce in Rome. With its highest honor, inducting the restaurant into its Accademia Italiana della Cucina “Fine Dining Hall of Fame.” Mediterraneo has been rated as Best of the Best in Sarasota Magazine since the first year of opening. Mediterraneo's warm and friendly atmosphere is distinguished by our unmistakably genuine Italian hospitality. Our chic interior setting is soft and comfortable with a cloud painted ceiling mimicking the Mediterranean sky, and rustic walls covered with a series of framed pictures of Italy and its landscape. You will feel like you are having lunch in Florence or dinner in Milano.http:
