• Artisan Empanadas and Pasta

This is an Italian-Argentinian owner pasta and empanada place. I haven't had empanadas before since eating a vegan diet, and this was my first time eating here. They have a storefront with all their products, and a regular booth at the Sarasota Farmers Market every Saturday. The food quality is gourmet. It can't get any better than this. I had their roasted vegetable and humita empanada two days in a row. Friday at their store and Saturday at their booth in the market. No complaints here, but I do like my red sauces. The empanadas don't come with it, but the nice lady at the storefront said they just wouldn't be Argentinian if they did. My first purchase from this business was their tomato Foccacia from the farmers market. I just happened to see it in passing. I've been looking for just this kind of foccacia too and no one else in Sarasota makes it. It's what is called a pugliese foccacia, and its vegan. I love it and make a nice creamy vegan pesto with it. I have to try their fresh penne and other pasta that labeled vegan. No idea about their sauces though. They are aware of the vegan diet having labels on a few items. I will see if they will put the same on all their other vegan products.
