Waitress nice but not very knowledgeable. Had to ask twice for cutlery. My husband ordered the special Oso Buco which was average, meat ok served with bolognaise sauce and spaghetti so nothing special but charged >$30!!!! Overcharged on check and had to re-do. 2 meals + 1 glass of wine & 1 coffee (n...
After being seated waited 10-15 minutes and had to signal for the waiter to come over. He apologized, took order and left. Had to ask him to bring bread. Wife ordered Scampi but got some kind of fish; not at all what she wanted (waiter apologized again). Had a restaurant.com gift certificate whi...
Italian to die for! Being a New Yorker living in Florida it has been quite the challenge finding good Italian in the sunshine state. Found it! Etrusco of Sarasota - Award winning chef Sol imported from New York
Excellent Italian food. Comfortable atmosphere. Nice staff. Restaurant was closed at the time of our original reservation. We came back the next day. And, our order got mixed up. But, on the whole, a wonderful restaurant.

Always busy --- always great food... a little over-priced.
We had dinner @ Floribean last night and if you want cheap drinks they got it but nothing else. But if you are hungry and want good quality food, find another place to eat. The servers were nice but they can't overcome poor quality. Even after we sent back our chicken sandwich because it wa still...
best food ever still thinking of it havent been back since 1986 use to live in sarasota want to move back but the kids arent ready ( italian sub is it still the same ????
Warning: Do not order the chicken salad unless you're intent on cornering the market on mayonnaise. When we asked the manager on duty for help, her answer was a curt, "That's our recipe". Art and Mady
Your happy hour is horrible n the bartenders on Thursday March 7,2013 are the worst. Very rude and can't make a good drink. Cranberry n vodka was the worst!!A quarter of a teaspoon of vodka just doesn't cut it . I could care less that you are corporate stop screwing the public n the year round suppo...
Geckos on Clark Rd. disappointed me because steak burrito was extremely fatty. Unfortunately I waited till now to complain.
I went to Geckos,I loved the food but had the worst service ever by Shane. He was very rude, and totally ignored us. Also he did not know the menu. We will not return.Maybe to a diiferent location.
Patty melts should come on rye bread not marble bread. Ruined an excellent sandwich changing to marble bread. Our visits were always several times a week. Now I call to see if they have rye bread which you don't so haven't back been in a long time. I miss Geckos. Waitiing for rye for my patty melt ...
Geckos restaurant offers a fun atmoshere laced with great food and drinks. It's a great place to meet with friends and family or network and meet people. My family and friends have been patrons of Geckos since its beginning eight years ago. The service we receive is outstanding and the genuine care ...
Gecko's has the best scrumptous food around. The wait staff are wonderful and the surrounds are great. I have never had anything I didn't like there. Very reasonably priced.
This review is for the Geckos on State Road 64 in Bradenton. My husband and I had lunch at this Geckos the first week it was opened for business and have had lunch or dinner there at least once a week since then, except when we were out of town. The 1992 Salad is the best around. The homemade chips ...
GREAT
Love, love this place for what it is...a sports bar. Friendly servers, bartenders, variety on the menu and the price is right.
