Fall 2026

V&Co Pizzeria opened in July at Fruitville Commons from Tommy Villani's group, with a scratch pantry and house-made sausage. Alma de España on Osprey Avenue is run by chef Elier Rodriguez, whose résumé includes Picasso at the Bellagio. Mimi Brasserie & Speakeasy opened in the former Adeline space on Hillview.

Earlier this year

El Greco Kitchen & Market brings the family behind Sarasota's first Greek café back on Clark Road. Delany's Public House is a proper Irish pub on Lakewood Ranch Main Street, and Allswell at Waterside Place is the Prohibition-era gastropub. March brought a whole wave of openings, including Bungalow Bagels on Siesta Key.
