You may remember back in December 2017 when we blogged about an upcoming Italian Restaurant called Pazzo Southside that was moving into the space formerly occupied by Mojo’s Real Cuban at 1830 South Osprey Avenue. Well, we have a date you can mark your calendars by now: Monday, February 19th. That’s the day Michael and Victoria Calore, former owners of Mozzarella Fella, plan to officially open Pazzo Southside. The restaurant will serve a wide range of classically Italian dishes, from shrimp scampi to personal pizzas to lobster risotto and beyond. Look forward to trying out this new restaurant’s menu in a few weeks.

Another new restaurant coming to Sarasota is The Public House Tap & Grill, which will be moving into 6420 North Lockwood Ridge Road, the space formerly occupied by the White Horse Pub. The Public House will offer a variety of American comfort foods and beers. This restaurant will also be opening in late February.
