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

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Best Mexican Food in Venice!”

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

“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!!”

“Go see the bartender Ashlii. She makes delicious drinks!”

“Friendly service and awesome dogs.”

“Wait time was very quick”

“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.”

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

“Absolutely the most delicious steak and cheese I've ever had! thoughtful staff as well!”

“Pretty plain restaurant in strip mall. Bbbut food and service excellent!!!! Really excellent!!!!!”

“this coffee shop has a lot of options. we had a latte and a chi latte. our daughter in law had a white chocolate mocha something that she said was delicious. I thought the chi latte was way too peppery. I will not be back for any chi.
overall it was good. everyone liked their food. it was very busy on a Saturday morning and the line was long, making it somewhat crowded in the dining area.

there is outdoor seating along a parking lot.”

“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!!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“best escargot i ever had and the bread wow!!! great good”

“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.”

“Fantastic food and service. Thanks Lucky”

“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.”

“Small independent guy as opposed to Chinese number 5,6,7,8, etc. Very appreciative of the business. Same prices as other take-outs but I'd say the food is definitely better.”

“Over 29 years going there and favorites are pork low main and hot and sour soup. Lunch is served now in a smaller round container which is a mistake. Pork, ,noodles, and veggies are packed on top of the rice and this sucks up the excellant sauce. Rice should be on the side of the rest with extra sauce in between. It used to be that way years ago and should go back to that even with less food packed in. The best Chinese food we know in Venice!!!!”

“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.”

“Had a great dinner with friends - warm bread basket with EVOO / balsamic was great with Caesar salad and lasagne. Madeline was sweet and funny.”

“Food was unexpectedly delicious! It's always a struggle to find good Chinese in Florida and we ordered on a chance and were not disappointed! Recommend for sure.”

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

“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!”

“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”

“Always a great experience when visiting Parlor. Wonderful staff, clean environment and very delicious.”

“Every time, and I mean "every time" we dine there, we fall in love with La Botte. Small and intimate, they bring their native Italy in every morsel of delicious food! This is a restaurant not to be missed. They also have Italian wine to pair with your dinner!”

“We are from the Upper Ohio Valley, about a half hour from Pittsburgh (Weirton, WV) and had the BEST donuts in the area (Oram’s- voted best in Pennsylvania, and Pete’s-a hometown treasure). Since moving to Englewood, we finally tried Yummies and were SUPER IMPRESSED! The cream sticks (which they call Long John’s) were fresh, soft, and filled with a delicious buttery, vanilla cream filling. My husband loved the frosted cinnamon roll donut, too. So glad we found a local donut shop that tastes like “home”!!”

“Very bubbly and professional staff. Food was excellent. Will be back again.”

“Great food, excellent service, beautiful place to meet with friends for lunch”

“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.”

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

“It's a sub shop that makes high quality subs. They use premium roast beef and the bread is soft and crusty. The other ingredients are fresh too.

Parking is a little tight, but the subs are $5 less than Mike's. The food will not upset your belly because of the quality. Well done!”

“Just another great lunch. We drive from Ruskin because of Ayla, Sue, Jessica and Mike. It's always the grilled chicken sandwich for us!”

“Excellent new place to eat on the Island. Brussels Sprout Appetizer is a MUST. Each visit comes with a new item to try. Beef Burria(?) tacos were AMAZING!!”

“I am from New Jersey visiting family Bob’s twist N’ Shake has the best specialty shake I have ever had in a shake too wear it was just perfect. Where I am from it’s either to thick, too chunky or both .”

“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.”

“Great value and good food👍”

“Excellent food, easily the best Vietnamese and Vietnamese-adjacent food in town. Love everything on the menu but the Pho and Sauteed Beef & Rice are my personal favorites. The owner is a great guy too!”

“The staff make this place a 10/10! Their excellent service is why I always have fun at Linkster’s. I love that Linkster’s has snacks, trivia night, and that cute drive thru window where you can order a drink from outside. Totally recommend!”

“Great food and server Megan was awesome with helping find the right service and flavor of coffee .Very fast service with a smile.”

“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.”

“Absolutely love the place friendly people great environment. We go down every February and it is one of my must stops when I’m their!!”

“Great wine. Beautiful people. good service and good entertainment.”

“Food was amazing! The pot stickers were to die for — we loved them so much we ordered a second round. The drinks were just as impressive, and our waitress (even though she was new) was absolutely fabulous. Great experience all around! Will definitely be coming back”

“Great spot for a quick and tasty meal! The subs are fresh and flavorful, the soups are warm and comforting, and everything is made with care. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere make it a go-to place for a satisfying bite.”

“great breakfast and lunch served by friendly staff at reasonable prices. new owners go and check it out!”

“Awesome place for Brunch !! Great food … wonderful staff !!!! A favorite place !!!!!”

“Excellent sushi/staff and location, I Enjoy Venice, FL much more eating right there, or to by ordering go , to enjoy those sushi on beautiful Parks around or at the Beach ?!”

“I have spent 36 of my 49 years in FL. I personally think that Florida is way better than every other state, except for a few "up north foods". Bagels don't ever measure up... UNTIL SATURDAY. We had a birthday brunch, and we bought bagels from Cafe Bagel !Absolutely delicious. Chewy, like up north, but also with that nice "crisp" bite. I'm so excited about finding this place, especially since the prices are great too. I HIGHLY recommend!”

“Kathy did a fantastic job as always. The food was superb and the management team with Marcell and Dan are outstanding. Marcell and Dan always make a point of stopping by. I love this place because of the people and the food. Great job. Kathy is awesome. Thanks for all you do. 5 star all the way.”

“Visited today for the first time -- and it certainly won't be the last. This small, well-organized, clean establishment is A+ ready for your authentic deli needs. The sausages, deli meats, imported jarred and canned goods are first rate. In addition, service was excellent. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

“I will be back . Yummy everything”

“What a delightful store. The ladies that work there are very friendly and a joy to talk to. They are knowledgeable about teas and very helpful in finding a blend I would enjoy. If you like tea or spices, then definitely stop in to check out their selection.”

“Just one of those places that tugs on the past”

“Wonderful atmosphere, staff, food and drinks! We're lucky to have this little gem right here in North Port!🤩”

“We love all the Tequila resturants ...Blue...Pink...Lime and now the Venice Pineapple Tequila that recently opened. We went to dinner tonight with friends there and had a great meal. We had about a 30 minute wait but well worth the wait time. Our server Yalitzaly was wonderful...she was super friendly and did a phenomenal job taking care and serving us. She was very experienced and accommodating ....I would say she is a super good valuble employee that cares about the resturants customers. Thanks Yalitzaly for making our night enjoyable and the desert was awesome ! Rap & Mary Peavy”

“I love everything about this restaurant..the moment you walk in you feel that you are at a friend’s house..the greeting and the feel of cleanliness makes me want to sit down for a visit..and of course the salads are amazing…the value for the quality, freshness and size are the trifecta!
