Anonymous party of 2 had dinner at Le Colonne and
rated the Veal chops with sauce poor because, "Quite fatty ,non
tasty sauce, and small portions. There was also service added to the
bill" and writes on April 26, 2007, "Having been to Lido Key 8 times
for a vacation, and eaten in every restaurant in St Armands Circle,
I can honestly say that this is my only bad experience. I found the
service poor and the food bland, I object to having to pay 20%
service when there was not any, and when I put cash down to pay the
bill they had the nerve to ask me if I wanted any change, I am
coming back to Lido Key in May 07 and I certainly will not be eating
there, and anybody with any sense will not eat there either. The
rude server was a waitress not waiter,"

Overall Experience: 5 Anonymous party of 3 had lunch at Le Colonne and rated
the grouper, sea bass, gnocchi, arugula sld fair because, "Expensive
4 well below average quality. 20% grty charged on party of 3.
Wal-Mart bread." and writes on April 8, 2007, "Very disappointed.
Specials had no prices and they turned out to be the most expensive.
Regardless, for the price of a lunch entree ($30), the quality was
WELL below average. Not to mention the cheapest bread served. They
said the entree comes with a pasta choice and waiter asked to
choose. Then, they ended up charging us $6 extra! the waiter was
dishonest. They automatically added a 20% gratuity on a party of
three. The entree and salad portions were small and with the
restaurant choices in St Armand's, I would NEVER consider going
back. They are cheating the customer and that has no class. Pasta
was NOTHING special. Not the homemade al dente that you would think
of."

Overall Experience: 5 Stanley M Ferber party of 2 had dinner at Le Colonne
and rated the Osso Bucco poor because, "Osso Bucco was mostly fat
and grizzle." and writes on March 11, 2007, "I love Osso Bucco and
order it whenever it is on the menu. Osso Bucco was the special, so
I ordered it.
As I was eating the Osso Bucco I noticed that it was mostly fat and
grizzle. When the waitress asked how everything was I stated that I
never saw so much waste on an Osso Bucco. The waitress stated that
she would tell the owner.
A few minutes later the waitress came back and said Osso Bucco has a
lot of waste.
This main course was $30. It was largely uneatable. It ruined an
otherwise perfect day in Sarasota."

Overall Experience: 5 Jason party of 2 had dinner at Le Colonne ordering
Tortellini Maria Rosa and rated the food poor because, "Sauce on
both our dishes were unimpressive. Pasta did not appear to be
home-made. Bread was definitely store bought. Way overpriced.
Wouldn't recommend." and writes on September 2, 2006, "Boasting of
fresh pasta needs to stop. Was certainly store bought (or stale at
best). Bread was also not home made. Salad had cafeteria-style
croutons. Both of our entrées were flavorless and had no hint of
authenticity. Restaurant should be ashamed of their
pseudo-authenticity." Anonymous party of 2 had
dinner at Le Colonne and rated the Osso Bucco and Veal Marsala
very good and writes on March 27, 2006, "Le Colonne was
recommended to my wife and I by a bartender at the Spanish Point
Tavern. The bartender and ourselves being originally from Rhode
Island love Italian food! The next evening we went to the
Colonne. We were greeted by the owner. He was very gracious and
explained how he and his father started the restaurant and that
they had come here from Italy some time ago. We were seat and
ordered a bottle of Chianti and it came at just the right
temperature. Appetizers were next. We ordered Bruschetta with
fresh plum tomatoes with fresh garlic and extra virgin o.o.
served on grilled Tuscan bread. The mix of the oil, garlic, and
did I mention fresh Basil, was perfect! We decided not to have
Salad so we could leave room for the Entres.I ordered Osso Bucco,
it's my belief if the restaurant does a fine Osso Bucco you can
be sure the rest is going to be good! My wife ordered her
favorite, Veal Marsala. WE were not disappointed in our choices!
The Osso Bucco was splendid! Slowly braised Veal Shanks in a
tomato vegetable broth until the meat melts off the bone and
then there is that little bit of marrow that's like manna from
Heaven! My wife's Marsala was the real thing and not the thick
syrupy sweet gravy that some restaurants do. Veal cutlets dusted
with flour, browned in butter and the Marsala reduced till just
starting to thicken and served with the sautéed mushrooms. I
know it was great because of course I had to have some! After
dinner drinks Cognac and Ameretto on the Rocks. The bill as I
can remember was just around 100.00 and believe me it was well
worth the trip to St Armands and will will definitely be going
back!"
