Happened to spot this place on Bite Squad and what a delight! My friend grew up in Venezuela so we are always looking for empanadas. How delicious! Lovely to have baked ones with so many choices. Now that i found the website I look forward to visiting the store and also picking up fresh pasta.

Honemade pasta?!?!? Yes I am in. Farmers market site displayed many various pastas, raviolis, and old school pizza like my grandparents use to make me as a kid. Cant wait to try everything we bought. The pizzas on point.

We try fettuccini, great pasta.Beef empanadas are really good.

Empanadas were very good ! Don’t forget to ask for the chimichurri salsa on the side . I will definitely return, nice place and friendly staff !

I am so enamored with this place. I always love a family run business. Two of my favorite things, pasta and empanadas! I bought some of the pasta to make at home and it was perfect. The empanadas have so many flavors and all of them were delicious. Would eat at every week if I lived closer.

Good selection of Italian pastas and sauces. Also they have the best coffee and coffee machines ever. Its way more affordable than Starbucks and 10 times better IMO.

Has become one of my favorites!!Not only is everything fresh and delicious.The staff is over the top!

We knew about this wonderful place after meeting a family member of the owner. It was such a good meal at home. Thank you so much!

What a gem!!!The empanadas are outstanding with a seemingly endless rotation of unique flavor combos along with the traditional ones.Fresh pastas like raviolis with various fillings, fusilli, lasagnas and others. Home made sauces available like salsa rosada, baschemel, bolognase.Dont forget to pick up some fresh pastries like the Argentinian alfajores.Oh, and they make great coffee.We love this place and the people too!!

Empanadas were delicioso! staff was also super friendly and attentive. great foreign staff here for a wonderful place :) I was doing homework outside at their outside eating area and they handed me a free snack while I stayed. definitely friendly people to serve you!

I love these Empanadas. i go down town to the open air market every Saturday just to grab a few of these tasty little treats. She has so many flavors to try, but so far, every single one has been wonderful

This place is such a hidden gem of Sarasota. They offer vegan soups,pastas, and award winning empanadas. The owner is super sweet and her hard work pays off with the best food :)

The best empanadas. I bought enough to last for lunches for the week and it was the best! My favorite is the spicy beef.

Very nice store. Good pasta easy to cook.

Found this gem by accident. Great food (ended up buying empanadas, alfajores and dulce de leche). Staff was super friendly - it is on our “list” of restaurants we are willing to return to.

Very good food and Lisa is very friendly!!

Some of the best empanadas weve ever had

Im new to this business. I bought pasta and sauce at the farmers market, Philippi on Tamiami. Made it tonight and my husband and I could not have been more pleased. I dug the bags out to see if there was a website and found out theres a store!! I didnt get any empanadas but now I know where to get them without waiting till Wednesday for the market. If you like fresh pasta and sauce, this is a must do!! Wonderful pasta!

Best empanadas in the region! Great family owned and operated

Wonderful Argentine empanadas, and the owner, Paula, was an absolute sweetheart. If we move to Sarasota, this will be our regular stop for lunch. The beef and chicken were my favorites, well filled with ingredients, and the dough was light and baked perfectly. Gracias!!

Love their fresh pastas and empanadas!

Love this place it was our first time and it was excellent and every single one that we tried was better than the next!!!! definitely it’s the best place for breakfast lunch or dinner place thank you very much will be back!!! Recomendable!!!!

Best empanadas in Sarasota, 100% recommended, the place is beautiful.

This is a gem of a store!! Great selection of fresh pasta and sauce. We first tried their fresh pasta at the Farmers market in downtown Sarasota and now cant go back to boxed pasta... its a splurge, but worth it if you are craving good comfort food in pasta, lasagna and the like. What we didnt know is that the empanadas we also love getting at the Farmers market come from the same place. When we went to the store (to get more pasta) we were pleasantly greeted by a counter full of delicious empanadas. We ate some there, and took some home to freeze. This is a locally owned, family run business and we felt like we were treated like family. We are proud to shop and eat local, and this is definitely now on our locals shopping route!

Interesting prepared food.

I could not be happier that my husband randomly found this place and brought, among others, empanadas filled with Blue Cheese, Mediterranean Beef, and Cheese and Sweet Onion home to try. OUTSTANDING. Just delicious, the 100% real deal, conveniently located in the plaza South of Trader Joes on the Trail, spotlessly clean and tons of choices for empanadas, gorgeous fresh pastas and prepared dishes, Linzer cookies (!!). Truly Argentine flavors from an incredibly talented chef. Do yourself an enormous favor and get there.

Amazing empanadas!!!!

Such a wonderful experience! The empanadas were incredibly delicious, and there were so many options! The array of fresh and frozen pastas was incredible as well. We are staying in a hotel not far and dont have a kitchen but we wanted more to take with us - the woman working was so kind and boiled some of the pasta for us to be able to take for later. She went out of her way and it was so sweet. Would recommend this place to ANYONE in the area weather theyre passing through or live locally!!

Lobster ravioli is awesome!

The empanadas are absolutely outstanding! They are hand made fresh and there are many varieties, including vegetarian. Excellent service, warm, welcoming, we will be back! I have heard many good things about the pasta as well!

Very delicious everything

Nice cozy place to eat empanadas, salads and to get all kind of homemade style pasta (linguini, spaghetti and many more), marinara sauce, hot sauce and many other italian oriented items. Great experience, very good service!

Amazing place feels like Europe awesome service amazing empanadas definitely recommended

My husband and I try the manicotti yesterday for dinner, I bought it frozen from the store and processed exactly what the instructions on the package said, it was delicious! I will be back to try other dishes.

Great empanadas but the pasta is just spectacular

Very rude. We just pulled in after they were closed hoping to get some pastries quickly, not sit in and eat and the owner shooed us away. Terrible customer service. They had plenty of pastries left that we could have bought. They lost a customer for life.

Best in town

Love the pasta, love the people. Real food, great taste. Thank you!

We were in February 2021 and without a doubt we can say that both the pasta and the empanadas are excellent. The place super neat and nice. All top quality. The lobster ravioli are amazing and so are the spinach ravioli. The empanadas are super tasty and with soft textures. Dont miss the best pesto in the world. We will definitely be back for more.

Excellent

Excellent! 💯
