Restaurants in Venice

“Excellent service by Avinash. He was great. The food was wonderful and we’ll be back again we had Saag & Tikka chicken marsala very good”

“Food is Awesome, Staff is Awesome and what more can we say... Superior!!”

“I rarely leave reviews for places but this place is sooooo good! Definitely try it!”

“Fantastically delicious! This place knows how to test your tastebuds♥️”

“Fantastic Gulf of America views, great food, super service, great array of frozen drinks! Nice way to eat and spend a leisurely afternoon!!”

“Delicious ice cream and funky décor, not to mention the endless selection of treats and treasures for sale! Don't miss out on this unusual ice cream experience!”

“Absolutely outstanding dinning experience the Gyro platter was the best flavor structured food in a long time. Great work from Paul and his team. Great to watch them hustle.”

“Sharky’s (and Fins) was the perfect surprise after a long drive and a Venice Beach sunset. The hostess recommended Fins, and it couldn’t have been better. We started with chilled lobster claws and Oyster Rockefeller — both incredible. My friend, who thought she didn’t like oysters, called them the most delicious thing she’s ever eaten. We shared a petite filet cooked medium rare to perfection, paired with a glass of Pinot Noir that felt magical. The service was seamless, with both servers providing warmth, professionalism, and great energy. Combined with the amazing food, relaxed atmosphere, and a breathtaking view of the sunset over the beach, this experience completely exceeded expectations. I can’t wait to come back.”

“Ashly or i think that was her name was a great server”

“Has to be one of the best French cafe on West Coast of Florida! Simple and polite service !! And the in house made baked goods are perfect, along with the other menus of the day . highly recommend 10/10 !”

“Shelby was our server and did a great job. Also the breakfast menu and many options and our food was very good!!”

“My family and I come here almost every week for wings and always enjoy the atmosphere. This time though Sierra went above and beyond and not only took care of us at our table but also ensured that we got our credit card that I forgot and she made sure we got got it.”

“This place is WONDERFUL!! Great food, friendly service even Darrell was running around the restaurant greeting people, sitting people, a very down-home type of place.”

“One of my FAVORITE AUTHENTIC MEXICAN restaurants!! will drive 45 minutes out of our town to eat this delicious food! there is always a long wait at the doors for them to reopen at 430 too! they are that good!!”

“Friendly service and awesome dogs.”

“Great meal from start to finish! Our waitress, Marina, was very attentive and pleasant. Grilled Cesar salad was fresh and crisp and had just enough char for taste. Steaks and rack of lamb were cooked appropriately and seasoned well. Stuffed Branzino (a special) and black grouper were fresh and tasty. Desserts did not disappoint. Delicious! We'll be back!”

“Outside tables in back of gas station/deli window but damn this is best Cuban sandwich I have ever had and can’t stop eating it. It’s loaded with a mild dill pickle that adds to the texture of the cuban seasoned meat. This is crack for lovers of Cuban food and who would have thought after visiting the store many times and never noticing until local referred me.”

“Another Great home cooked meal from my favorite restaurant in Florida. 5 Stars because everything was delicious, Again. All Fresh and home cooked meals. Wine and Beer only but 2ed bottle of wine is half-price. Only holds about 25-30 people, that's why you MUST have a reservation Be patient for your food because it is all made from scratch.”

“Jeremy the host was very welcoming and explained the difference between the dining room upstairs and the tavern/bar downstairs. This was our first visit and he suggested upstairs. We were sat at a lovely table outside overlooking the water. Our waitress Becky was very attentive professional and pleasant. The food did take longer than expected but overall the quality was very good.”

“I will be back . Yummy everything”

“Delicious burgers... Bingo is always fun...”

“We’ve loved this place for years! Never disappoints!”

“I went to an event at Mad Salads and everything was so Delicious!! highly recommend!!”

“Wait time was very quick”

“Great weekly specials, terrific service , and friendly atmosphere. Food is great and always. Wide variety. It has become the favorite breakfast spot ! Highly recommend .”

“Best Mexican Food in Venice!”

“We visited for the first time today while in the area. Always heard to check the restroom to know what a restaurant really is like lol. Well I had to and found it to be very clean and smelled clean and fresh. On to our meal. I totally enjoyed the whole belly clams meal with a delicious slaw and subbed corn on the cob for the fries as I typically don’t eat fries. Those clams were wonderful, large juicy and flavorful. The corn was fresh and sweet and the slaw was perfect to my taste. I enjoyed a sangria with my meal. Enjoyed every bite. My husband is a self proclaimed oyster aficionado, he ordered a dozen raw on the half shell. He proclaimed them to be perfect. He was impressed that they were fresh, plump, and sufficiently briny. He really enjoyed them fully. He also had the red beans and rice meal along with a beer and said it was good food. So thumbs up Shuck N Ale. We had to be there for a doctor visit that took us 45 minutes to drive there to Venice, but hubby says it’s worth a drive that long to come for the food anytime. See you again! By the way the staff were friendly and the food was delivered promptly so thumbs up for that as well. The music was just beginning as we were leaving.”

“Really fun folks Sorry owner is a Red Sox fan but still great guy”

“Had lunch for my Birthday, food was excellent. Service was professional and friendly. Try the cole slaw, you’ll be happy you did!! I’ll be back again!!”

“The best place in town for lunch and for meeting with friends and acquaintances. The food is good, so is the ambience in a patio surrounded by bougainvillea and nice music. The service is great and nothing beats Giselle’s welcoming smile.”

“Fantastic food and service. Thanks Lucky”

“We held our wedding reception at the restaurant. We had the mezzanine to ourselves for a small party of 12. Fantastic food wine and service.”

“My wife and I went here last Friday evening when we were still in Venice: we had a wonderful meal, excellent service & a fun atmosphere we will definitely be back.”

“Last minute reservations for 6, fit us in it was our first visit but def not the last! Great service, the food was fantastic, I really would give them ten stars if I could! Highly recommend my new fav Italian spot!!”

“Fabulous food, atmosphere and service. Have eaten at many Italian places and Trattoria is top notch. Employees make you feel welcomed and go above and beyond to make sure your experience is a positive one.”

“My new favorite Chinese place. We ordered delivery from here last night. The food was great. I love the crabrangoons and fried rice! There wasn't anything we ordered that we didn't love.”

“The food was amazing. But I made a reservation for 8 at 7pm. Walked in and said told them I had a reservation she came over asked me my name then she answered then phone. After she got off the phone I asked if we could please sit outside and she said “ do you really want to do that I would have to move a table” She then said I have you set up in the back and led me to the back and walked away and said ya great in a smart manor. She was walking around talking to everyone so she must be some kinda lead I wouldn’t even call her a manager but yeah with that interaction me and my 350$ dinner bill will not be back.”

“Love the food and the amazing service. The older gentleman that owns the place runs a tight ship. He’s always courteous and delivers good value for the money. Plus, they are one of the few Chinese restaurants in town that offers a poo poo platter. If you’re looking for a charming environment to eat in, this is not the place. This is more for people that are looking for quality Chinese food that’s either takeout or delivery.”

“Thomas was fantastic! The food was great!! We will def be back!!”

“Take-out restaurant on Mercado drive. The food is excellent. Service is very good. My favorite is General Tsao’s Chicken. It’s very close to NY Chinese food which is the best in the country. Everything I’ve had there has been very good.”

“Great options. Smaller portions available than some other places offer. Staff was cheery. Nice experience.”

“Fantastic pizza joint. They've got a great selection of other meals as well. I got the 16 inch build your own with pepperoni and mushrooms. Great crust, thin NY Style. Greek salad was amazing, as well”

“My friend suggested we try out this restaurant today and it certainly was a good choice! We had the fish (cod) and chips, the fish was nice and flaky with a lovely beer batter. Fries were great and the homemade coleslaw very nice. Topped it off with "real" key lime pie. A lovely experience and we will be returning. Service was very good with Eric and Jim. Thank you!”

“Always good food, never disappointed.”

“Simply great! Small, quaint, friendly staff, clearly a family endeavor! Good wine list, but the food was amazing. Beautiful presentation, fresh and delicious ingredients from start to finish!! We can’t wait to go back!”

“Another wonderful visit to the Upper Crust Bakery, it’s a must when in Venice. The scones are the best we have had since moving to the USA from England.”

“While all servers here are excellent, we adore when we get Mikey as our server. His memory is wild and his service is always perfect. He anticipates our needs before we even realize we have them. Always pleased when we get seated in section. This place always has amazing service and wonderful food. One of our favorite places.”

“Best cheesesteak in Florida. Authentic NY thin crust pizza and many other authentic Italian dishes to choose from. Went for dinner with my Mom last weekend and had a huge table of New Yorkers next to us, laughing and talking Boisterously. Found out they were all from Brooklyn and the Bronx. If NY Italians chose Mama Maria's, you know the food is delicious!”

“What an unexpected delight! Delicious fish and loved that they had malt vinegar with it! A little disappointed they served steak fries instead of English chips but everything was excellent. Wish we had more nights to try some of the other English dishes. The Ole Smoky Old fashioned was also superb. And what a fun way to present with the burnt cedar. Better than our Wisconsin old fashioned. ?. We will definitely return next winter.”

“Hello Firehouse Subs Crew, Y'all did a fantastic job preparing lunch for Team One Mile yesterday. Everything was perfect!”

“Waited at least 20 minutes for a table outside. They were crowded as usual. Waited 5 minues for Jennifer to bring us coffee and water. She said she'd be right back for order. 15 minutes later others were seated, and actually served. Our waitress rook the order fir a couple who had just been seated and then took ours. I complained to the hostess who took off our coffees. The waitress apologized for serving the other couple first. She didn't understand that we had waited an additional 20 minutes to PLACE our order. I never complain, I've been wait staff. The wait staff there has always been fabulous until today. She is clueless.”

“Best cheese steaks in the area!!!!!!”

“Friendly and knowledgeable”

“Croissant breakfast sandwich and liquid crack iced coffee were phenomenal, and all the employees were incredibly nice! This is definitely going to be our new go to weekend breakfast spot!”

“Delicious! We ordered from both the Thai and American menus, food was excellent and prepared with care. Restaurant is clean and clearly a labor love. While others complain about the prices, good food and attentive service doesn’t come free! We’ll be back.
