Food is ok but not great. Lasagna was cool in the middle and very pasta heavy. Owner who waited on us never asked what we thought even though we ate leas than half our lunch. Would not come here...

I've eaten at Epicure for years. ANd at first I really enjoyed it. But staff troubles and changes over the years have brought down my opinion of this place. The pasta is still very good, it is...

Nothing too crazy about this place. Apparently the Pizza seemed to be their specialty, but in the realm of wood oven-type pizza places, it didn't hold a candle to places like Pizza DOC in Chicago, or...

Arrogance was yesterdays lunch special. My wife and I had just beaten out the rush of food critic's to nab a nice window seat. The over priced, under proportioned size of the dishes had only one...

Was expecting more but the offerings are edible. The atmosphere is neighborhoody so it's a good place to plop down for lunch after shopping or eating lunch during work week.

Best place in town. Authentic italian pizza, ambiente could be a little friendlier but definitely a good place. Some dishes are a little overpriced but should be worth the money.

Not worth putting on a postcard or patronizing even when it is conveniently located within steps of your parent's residence. Sure, you can get a fresh salad here, but I wouldn't endorse anything...

I went here to finally try this place with a couple friends. In brief -- it is OK. Nothing special. Service was spotty. I might have liked it more if I had sat at the bar and had a "pretty, friendly...

After a really filling meal in the area, some friends and I stopped in for a light dessert option. The Gelato captured our attention right away with flavors I couldn't begin to pronounce (or even...

As a New Yorker I'm used to fantastic Italian food at affordable prices, my gosh, even the lill pizzeria on the upper east side is better than the Italian food in Sarasota. Was appalled to see some awful,...
