1000% recommend the Baked Feta Cheese & Roasted Tomatoes with Shishito Peppers - wonderful tapa! Cute restaurant, great wine list and most nights have live music. Spread the word!!!

No acoustical drapes or other material to absorb sound. Very noisy. Food is not good. Tuna tartare was served as a pate tuna (??), tacos came with rock hard beef. Had to park on metered lot net door- $17 for three hours. Pianist was quite good but the vocalist voice bounced off floor, ceiling, and walls

My wife, daughter, and I were walking past yesterday evening and had to stop in. Great music, nice atmosphere, tables outside. The owner, Anuj, greeted us and was so warm and welcoming. Had a few glasses of wine on the patio, chatted, listened to the great music by some local pros, and really enjoyed this unique place. Anuj even insisted we take some dessert samples home with us. Looking for a place off the beaten path, or a hidden gem in Sarasota? Stop in and say hello to Anuj and his team!

I visited Vino Bistro tonight to see a friend who was playing music there and was immediately at home and comfortable. Menu is compact and diverse with options ranging from vegetarian salads to pizza. My steak tacos were simple and savory with a nice red sauce to fire them up. I enjoyed a conversation with the owner while I was there and assured him I would be back soon. No disappointments, check it out!

I can’t say enough great things about Vino Bistro! The space is lovely, in a historic building in Rosemary District. They have an incredible wine list, great food and welcoming staff. The ownership is extremely hospitable and they gave us 5 star service. They invest in the community hosting events and local talent. Highly recommend! One of my newly discovered favorite spots in Sarasota.

Women's Business League of Sarasota hosted a networking event at Vino Bistro last night! Thank you to Anuj and his team for making it a smashing success. Food, Wine and Service all Excellent. Will be back to this amazing venue in the Rosemary District.

Great little place with lots to offer, new owner is super kind. Love that Feta tomato tapas!!! Music was awesome and didn't overwhelm dinner conversation. Spanish meatballs sent that nostalgic bite into a smile.

This place is the hidden treasure nestled in the heart of Sarasota. A perfect haven to wine and dine with those you cherish, it boasts a captivating selection of wines and a menu crafted with care and creativity. Our recent evening there, shared with friends and family, was nothing short of enchanting. The ambiance radiated warmth and joy, with melodies of live music and the heartfelt charm of an open mic adding magic to the night.
What made the experience even more memorable was meeting the wonderful owners — gracious, down-to-earth souls who pour their passion into every detail. Vino Bistro truly embodies the essence of Sarasota — where art, music, and culinary delight dance together in perfect harmony. We are definitely visiting here again….
We had a wonderful family night at Vino Bistro with our dear friends and the amazing owners, Anuj and Bhumika. It’s truly a gem near Sarasota Downtown — a cozy, welcoming spot with a breathtaking atmosphere that instantly feels like home.
From the wide variety of wines to the delicious appetizers, everything was on point. Whether you’re planning a relaxed evening or a special date night, this is the perfect place to make it memorable.
Don’t miss their Open Mic Nights if you have a passion for music or just want to enjoy some local talent. I even jumped in for a fun jam session with my friend Anuj on guitar and keyboard! 🎸🎹😄
Highly recommend checking it out — you’ll be glad you did!

We had great wine and tapas here and there was wonderful live music playing on a Thursday night!

A VERY nice little venue. Live Music was excellent and not overwhelming. Good selection of wines and tapas--we had desert, and they were very good. This will be a nice place to catch a snack and a drink before a show or just to meet some friends.

If you are looking for a fun place to enjoy some good wine and food with very friendly staff Vino Bistro is the place to be. It is currently under new ownership and will be making additions to the menu. Vino Bistro provides great local musicians a place to share their music. Double Feature is my favorite duo.

Friendly, locally owned place. Fantastic service! Great food variety on the menu and the extensive wine list has choices from all around the world! Prices are reasonable, too! Talent worth listening to on music nights (Thursday, Friday, Saturday).
