Atmosphere Italian Restaurant

The BEST taste of Naples, Italy, you'll have in SRQ that'll leave you craving a return visit, real soon. My partner and I always choose to sit at the bar to see Chef Antonio work his magic handmaking pizza from scratch. We've steadily worked our way through the menu and the Pizza Vesuvio (with a bundle of burrata cheese in the middle) is divine. But, pro tip, don't forget to check the specials: Chef Antonio is always cooking up something new that'll lead you to delicious discovery. And that Pistacio cake... need I say more?! Oh, and the hospitality here is second to none. So much so, we dine here weekly to say hi to Jay, Antonio, and the team. If you're looking for an Italian dining experience you won't soon forget (and will bring you back for another slice and another glass of wine), look no further than Atmosphere. We'll see you there!!

In the mood for delicious authentic Neapolitan Wood Fire Pizza? This is a Must try in Sarasota off Beneva Road. We’ve lived just 5mts away from Atmosphere and had no clue what was in store for us. From the outside is just a regular Pizza sign above the pizzeria but as you walk in is such a humbling experience. It’s a small establishment with amazing staff in which everyone plays a big role in making it such a success. Antonio is the mastermind behind Atmosphere. He’s attention to detail is superb. This young man goes out of his way to make sure everyone is happy and enjoying their time. I chose the Pizza Vesuvio & my husband had the Mortazza Pizza along with Pistachio Cake & Tiramisu for desserts. Folks, I have eaten all over the world but this pizza my friends brought me back to Italy. It is AMAZING! Dessert was delish; The Pistachio cake was my favorite. Pictures do it no justice. Flavors on point. The fresh basil leaves & truffle oil on the pizza takes it up another notch. The ambiance is so Italy casual with Italian music playing from the kitchen. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would. Can’t wait to go back. BEST Pizza in Sarasota back to back. Now I know why. Grazie Antonio and Atmosphere Staff.

Went there for the first time lastnight as we’re new to the area and heard amazing things. The food was phenomenal!! It is the best pizza around without a doubt!! Haven’t had pizza this good outside of Italy! We have found our new favourite spot! Staff were extremely friendly and hospitable! Can’t wait to go back. Grazie Antonio!!

Not only the best pizza in Sarasota, but incredible service in a true hole-in-the wall. My go-to is the Della Casa for an appetizer, followed with the Verde pizza but I have not had a single dish that was less than spectacular. Chef Antonio also keeps a small, but very impressive list of daily specials on the chalkboard and you’d be a fool to ignore them. Everything from pasta with sausage and baby back ribs, to white lasagna, and so many more great dishes. This is the type of place where they’ll remember your name and go over the top to serve you and make you feel at home. While I see them constantly getting orders ready for takeout - my big recommendation is for at least your first visit, do yourself a favor and sit right at the chef’s counter to watch the master at work and get the absolute hottest, and freshest pizza brought right from the oven to your plate.
