Rose & Ivy – Steak, Sushi, Cocktails
Welcome to Rose & Ivy, where history is combined with modern times. Rose & Ivy is located in the beautiful two-story, vine covered historic I.R. Burns and H.H. Bell Building, right next to the 100-year-old Sarasota Opera House in the heart of Downtown Sarasota.
If you look at details throughout the building, you can travel in time to prohibition Speakeasy era: the original restored bar, art glass doors and windows, the painted detailed ceiling in gold on the second floor, the light fixtures outside… Raffaele Perna and his partner Nick Perdue have a goal to restore the building to its real glory, bringing some of that history back, and have the community to enjoy it. Also, there will be a private dining room in the future that will take you back when John Ringling was still alive. There, on the wall are original drawings of John Ringling, The Ringling’s Ca’d’Zan Mansion and the Opera House.
Rose & Ivy has large front and courtyard patios with lots of fans for Florida weather, interior dining room and upstairs piano bar and brand-new sushi bar. You can have a nice upscale dinner, see a live performance on the second floor and go downstairs to the garden and enjoy DJ.
Come and experience modern juxtaposition of eclectic Pan-Asian flavors, tropical mystique, and traditional elegance. Rose & Ivy focus on sushi, sizzling steak, exotic dim sum, superb beverages, plus a curated atmosphere like nothing in Sarasota.

“My husband and I enjoyed a superb meal last evening at Rose and Ivy. I don’t often use the word superb, but the salmon entree with jasmine rice and rapini we both decided to order was perfect. I don’t usually like rapini because it can be bitter, but this side was delicious. The key lime pie I ordered was very good. In addition, our server was helpful, organized, and pleasant. I am glad we ate upstairs because the lower level seemed noisier. I plan to return soon.” – L. Boyer
“Had an excellent dinner with my wife for her birthday while we were visiting Sarasota. Staff was friendly and attentive. Service was efficient and well timed…but most importantly, the food was excellent! The ingredients were fresh and prepared to perfection. It’s obvious the chef is passionate about his dishes. Highly recommend. Reservations also recommended.” – Lunar Studios LLC
