Earlier this week we announced the Top 100 places to eat in Florida, and Sarasota restaurant, La Dolce Vita was among the best of the best. Today we are excited for you to #MeetTheOwner and learn about this local gem. ⁠ ⁠ The husband and wife chef/owner team are both from Italy. Mauro is from Naples, Tina was born in a little Sicilian town near Enna. While Mauro's upbringing versed him in southern Italian cuisine, with dishes such as Polipetti alla Luciana, it was his time in Milan where he could master northern specialties. Today he brings it together to create a masterful menu for all the guests at La Dolce Vita. ⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to find out more about this restaurant and how you can make a reservation. And don't miss Tina's divine desserts all made in Sicilian tradition. ⁠ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #Yelptampabay #srqeats #tampafoodies #foodiesoftampabay #foodiesofinstagram #sarasota #letseatsrq #italianfood ⁠ #florida #visitflorida #tampabay #floridalife
