The typical restaurant experience has changed quite a bit since the COVID-19 pandemic arrived this spring. Many customers are opting for takeout and delivery over the dine-in routine, and while restaurants have shifted to accommodate customers ordering online, pop-up restaurants like Sarasota’s new Tralia has arrived right on time.
Tralia has no physical location. Its menu and ordering system exist completely online, and customers pick up their orders between 4 and 8 p.m. on Saturdays at a commissary kitchen workspace in Sarasota. Chef and owner Anthony Petralia launched Tralia in July, after months of planning and dreaming to open a restaurant of his own.
