19 Best Seafood Restaurants in Venice

“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 never miss a chance to visit sharky’s! Even if you don’t want to grab a bite to eat.. enjoy the beach and pier ! But dont forget to get a drink at the walk up bar ! Best frozen drinks in town !!“

“My family and I ate at Old Salty Dog in Venice Friday and were blown away at the quality of the food, the fantastic prices, and most importantly the hospitality of the staff. The frisbee plates for the kids meals were such a cute and appreciated touch! Linda P was our waitress and she was amazing! She was on point with everything and was such a hoot! I’ve been vacationing in FL for almost 30 years and this restaurant is by far and away the best food and value I’ve found in YEARS. I cannot recommend enough and CAN’T WAIT to return!“

“Sam is an outstanding server. Always smiling, efficient & friendly. Loved the clams too! Food, service, atmosphere all excellent!“

“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.“

“Went there Sunday night, with a large party for a birthday. Our waiter was on point. I made a joke as to the screw up on food, seeing I have no filter, not sure if it was taken wrong. However, it was made right, bit it was disappointing that the original steak I ordered was medium rare and the second one arrived well done. Again the service was accommodating, yet by this time everyone else was finishing up with dessert. I will love to go back, and i will. The only downfall was that my entree was a special and not served all the time. Hence the 4 stars on communication and delivery of food. BTW, the bacon and eggs was delicious and will order again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“We tried it for the first time tonight and it was delicious. Have to give it 5 stars because the food was hot and tasted great. Best Wonton and Egg Drop soup we've had in a while. The Moo Goo Gai Pan was tasty and loaded with mushrooms. Husband loved the Szechuan Chicken ordered medium spicy and said it was perfect. We will definitely be back!!“

“First class food. Fantastic menu , they will not disappoint!“
