Emilio & Rosario's Story
Enjoy the Taste of Northern Italy
Intimate and designed to provide a rustic Italian experience, La Violetta is owned and operated by Emilio and Rosaria, who are originally from Parma, Italy.
​
La Violetta sets the pace for casual, country kitchen Italian dining in an intimate atmosphere. La Violetta has the ability to seat over 50 guests comfortably which is perfect for a casual night or for celebrating a special occasion.
Chef Emilio
Many of our friends and customers love to practice “fare la scarpetta,” which is an Italian expression meaning to bend your bread into a little shoe and using it to mop up the last of the sauce in a dish. This implies that everything on the menu is good to the last drop.
​
We invite you to join us so you can experience delicious, authentic northern Italian food, here in Sarasota.
