BAR ITALIA – Italian
The Sarasota-area room of an Ohio bred Italian group, sitting on University Parkway in Lakewood Ranch and trading bistro gloom for bright, airy Florida light. House made pasta anchors it: bucatini bolognese, pesto genovese, garganelli diavolo with shrimp and a lasagna made fresh each day. Starters are built for sharing, fritto misto, zucchini fritti, whipped burrata with heirloom tomatoes. Secondi stretch to branzino, crispy halibut piccata and veal marsala, and the calendar adds weekend brunch and a martini night. Lunch runs from eleven, and dinner goes until eleven on weekends. Scratch cooking with a bar that keeps the evening moving.
