Join us for some Mediterranean cuisine at Florence and the Spice Boys - UTC
Details
Our journey began as a food truck in 2019, and through dedication and passion, our founders—Chef Steven and Carl—expanded their vision to create a vibrant restaurant. Florence, who started as a key member of the food truck team, became the heart of our guest experience. Thanks to the incredible support from our loyal customers, we proudly opened our brick-and-mortar location on December 1st, 2022.
As we navigated the challenges of establishing our first location, we climbed a steep learning curve that ultimately led us to forge strong connections within the Sarasota restaurant community. One such connection was with local chef, Collin Blakeman.
Recognizing his remarkable talent and wealth of experience, we were thrilled to invite him on board as a partner as we prepared to expand and open our second location in UTC. Collin's impressive background—from training under Thomas Keller at The French Laundry to leading the beloved Owens Fish Camp—brings a fresh perspective and a depth of expertise that enhances our culinary offerings.
