We had reservations for a group of 8 and no one mentioned that do not give out separate bills. If we had know this at the time we made reservations, we could have been more prepared to pay as a group. The owner and waitress were very nice.

A great little place to grab a glass of wine and some light bites with friends or family. We tried many tapas, great place for conversation. Seating inside or out, extensive bar and lovely street views of downtown Englewood.
Very surprising to find such excellent and creative tapas - maybe the best outside Barcelona! Plus a great wine selection by the glass — almost impossible to find in Florida. Service (by the owner) was very professional. But all of the tapas - the meatballs, escargots, dates, pears with blue cheese, crab cakes, were very nicely done with lots of delicious bread. The gumbo and butternut squash soup to start were also wonderful. In Englewood’s art district, nice little place.

1st time there and it was wonderful. Great food and service. Its a must go if you are looking for wine and cheese but a lot more.
It was a slow night been wanting to try it because heard so many good reviews the food is very good but don’t go if your hungry the morrcan chicken was good small plate and the white bean foccia appertizer was good then the waitress convinced me to order the crab cake it was $23 and it was as big as a golf ball with a small teaspoon of sauce no garnish or vegetable or anything else I thought it was much too expensive probably wouldn’t rush back

Absolutely amazing! So personable and knowledgeable!! We will most definitely be back again!
Vino Loco is a Quaint little place with nice ambiance and a nice selection of wines. Alcohol and beer are reasonably priced. But you’re LOCO if you order the food.The Brie and Pate plater was tasty but came with just a “smidge” of Brie (with 6 grapes). We also ordered the crab cake which was $23 for a very small cake. It was the most expensive crab cake we’ve ever eaten (from a not so high-end restaurant). We asked for an additional piece or 2 of crostini and were charged for it. We Don’t mind this, but given the cost of the crab and the platter, it seemed very chinchy. We enjoy tapas establishments and have eaten at many locally and elsewhere but won’t return to Vino Loco as the food is overpriced.

worst experience I've ever had at any restaurant in my entire lif! This wine bar had poor service and rude staff! It is such a shame because they have good wine but they have zero customer service! I will never go back and will advise my friends not to patronize this business! ! I have never had a service member at an establishment curse at my whole table! not acceptable!!!!!

Impressive menu and cool vibe, but my family could not really experience it because we were seated for fourty minutes waiting to have our food orders taken while a couple seated well after we were seated had their orders taken. The waiter even asked them within earshot, before he took their order, if he should take our orders first since we were their first that we found extremely rude and tactless. We did get some drinks (a bottle of sangria that was poured over some fruit wedges and a glass of wine), but having waited for an unreasonable amount of time, I paid the full bill and we left. I wanted so much to support a local cool place, but was completely turned off by their horrible customer service. My two stars are solely for the cool vibe and menu. We wound up walking to the Mexican restaurant down the street, Comadres, that was superb!

I was there for a wine tasting. The food was mediocre. The wine was provided by a local merchant. Purchased a nice bottle to which they added a corkage fee. I guess they considered that not one of their wines. The total experience didn't make me want to rush back.
Always good food and good service. Plus a nice patio to enjoy the Florida weather.
