Serving Sarasota Since 1991

Il Panificio started as a no-frills Italian deli on Main Street and never stopped making everything from scratch. Over 30 years later, the same family recipes — and the same warmth — are still here.

Thank you Il Panifico, for making this three-hour trip so worth it! The cheese pizza was so yummy and fresh, and the wings were delicious. The salad was so fresh. Definitely great for a quick bite! We will be back!!!

I always come downtown, and the food is always great. Fresh and not too salty; it’s so good. Eggplant app is my-go-to favorite!!! You should try it. Customer service is also awesome. Highly recommend!!!!

Honestly, this is some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. It’s thin crust, and it’s always crispy! They have great toppings and if you want a slice, they have that too! They have booze if you wanna grab one. Also complete with indoor and outdoor seating.

Very delicious pizza, and they actually make a large pizza!! We found out they actually deliver to the beach as well! We didn’t know until our last day but will definitely check that option out next time.
