Restaurants near Gulfside Villa

The food is exceptional. This is our favorite place on Longboat. Staff always pleasant and efficient. We have dined here often over the past few years and never had a complaint or bad experiencer I highly recommend LA Norma. You will not be disappointed.

We sat right on the sand at a lovely table a few feet from the water. Just beautiful! We had good service and the food was good. A little pricey, but the view made it worth it!

We were seated promptly and our server, Terri, was a hoot! We had fried mozzarella, which came in large wedges rather than sticks. For entrees, my husband had lasagna, and I had chicken parmigiana. Both excellent and huge servings (we each brought home enough for another meal). Terri made the evening with her good humor and great service.

An idyllic setting....almost a step back in Florida gentility. From the moist banana bread welcome to the peppercorn steak....each course carefully crafted. Attentive waitstaff. What a delightful experience

Great view on the water and atmosphere with the lights on Christmas Eve. We sat under the trees by the bay and the portable heaters kept us warm on a cool night. The Spinach and Artichoke Empanadas were a great appetizer and the entrees were excellent too.
