It was our first time with our family in Venice Fl, and it was around 5pm and decided to go with our family for a walk and a bite to eat. We walked by this restaurant and asked to be seated and the host Andrew said there was no room for a family of 5 and a baby, it was going to take 30 minutes. I said what about inside… he said I TOLD YOU, 30 minutes with an attitude.
So we waited patiently to be seated. After a while no tables were getting up, so I went inside to place the order to go. To my amazement there was a table available inside this whole time!!!! I was like you have to be kidding me! We have been out there like 25 minutes under the sun and you had a table!!!! My pregnant wife went in to use the bathroom and the same rude host Andrew told her, who are you with? Well she was sitting in front of him on a bench for the last 25 minutes waiting for you to sit us.
I don’t usually write these kind of reviews, but if you could please avoid this place because of the rudeness of this host you could enjoy your meal anyplace else.
I think this host, has an issue with people and thinks of himself way above others, there was a really sweet and kind manager inside and she did help us place our to go order. I did speak to her and told her this person needs to be removed as he has no clue what the service industry means. This is not a club or a private venue, these are hungry families that want to enjoy a slice of pizza! The food was ok, not worth the wait or the mistreatment.

Sorry but the place has slipped the past few years. Veal scallopini came in a puddle of water and was tasteless plain meat with a few capers on top. Broccoli with a little cheese on top. Stale bread and a plastic container with some diced tomatoes. Our waitress couldn't remember anything we said. Walk up the street and eat real Italian. We will.

Sorry to post but seven of us had tasteless meals. No one commented until we left. The meals had zero flavor. Enjoyed this restaurant when it first opened.

Food highlights and lowlights, pesto pasta very good, add shrimp and u r in business. Lasagne also very good. I'm a fan of thick layers of ricotta beef n sausage but this was thinner maybe richer version due to the use of bechamel. Fungi pasta can b skipped. Charge me xtra for truffles for flavor truffle oil sucks and easily ruins a happy mouth unless used with great restraint. They forgot my pasta e fagiole soup so can't comment on that. The bruschetta topping with the bread was welcome but I doctored when I got it home, lots of torn basil chopped garlic and evoo. The alicea (white sardines) amazing and added much needed punch to the ceasar. They put those on top of the Lasagne tho which heated them up. I've only had them marinated and chilled so when chilled in fridge they were much better Would definitely apply lessons learned and go back. Megan was great

Service- Jesse was a great server on Tuesday night and greeted us the following evening with a big smile and a hug; Marlon was our server Wednesday night and was so gracious, knowledgeable and polite, and repeatedly thanked us for our visit. When we made reservations on Tuesday night for Wednesday night, my husband jokingly asked the hostess to put Miller Lite next to our name- when we arrived for our reservation Wednesday and the young host showed us to our table, he said, "And I'll be right back with your Miller Lite"--and he was! Husband loved it!!! Roberto (or Ricardo, husband not sure) wears a black cap and he was amazing to watch both nights - he was everywhere- setting tables; greeting guests; clearing dishes; thanking guests as they left and doing it all with a big smile- truly an astonishing employee. All five stars.
Food - pasta - pappardelle with walnut mushrooms was delicious (really!), and my husband thought the same of his shrimp scampi. Five stars.
Pizza/calzone - The medium mushroom and roni pizza the night prior was very good- BUT there is NO reason that a topping for a 12-14" pizza should be $5+ each - the two toppings were almost as much as the plain pizza. Calzone - very, very good. Four stars only because of add-on topping price!!
Soups - minestrone was a lil bland and had no pasta in it (a standard ingredient in almost all recipes); and the pasta fagioli, which did thankfully have pasta and beans, was also a lil bland. Three stars.
Dessert - tiramisu was wonderful, even when eating the saved half portion for breakfast this morning! Five stars.
All in all - great few nights there and will definitely return and know what (and who!) to ask for!

First of all, the service was horrible! Our waitress didn't give us straws with our drinks and when we asked for straws she acknowledged and said ok but instead of getting the straws she headed straight to another table and totally forgot about our request for straws. Then the salad came with a serving of sliced bread. None of the salad came with the dressing we ordered. She never came back to our table so we had to ask another waitress for our salad dressing. When we're finished with our salad and the bread, she took our bowls and promised to bring more bread as we're still waiting for our main meals. She never came back with the bread even after our meals were brought out. I ordered Vegana, which was listed as one of their signature dishes, and described as penne with roasted zucchini, eggplant, broccoli and olive oil and garlic. This main course "signature" dish was a total disappointment. It was so bad and tasteless. It was basically pre-boiled penne with steamed vegetables, they were not grilled, and that's it. Absolutely no flavor at all because there's no olive oil that was supposedly spiced and cooked with roasted garlic. No oil. No garlic. No roasting. No grilling. Not even salt in the flavor. I was too hungry and impatient at that point, I just ate what I could. The waitress only came to check on us at the very end after I basically stopped eating halfway, in full disgust, and couldn't touch it anymore. I was left speechless, couldn't wait to leave fast enough, expressed my total disappointment only in the form of tip I left on the table. It's really beyond help. No complaint from me could improve the situation. And I didn't want to make a scene in front of the person I was with at the time.

Trattoria Da Mino offers a delightful Italian dining experience. The pasta dishes are flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the service is attentive. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot for a meal with friends or family. Highly recommend!

I beg to differ on your great reviews. The only thing that was authentic Italian was the MUSIC. The bread arrived tasteless, boring and borderline stale. Chose the lunch special Soup Salad & 1/2 Lasagna $20 The plate presentation was ridiculous causing soup to spill, salad was warm and the lasagna was served in a crockpot. Comical to say the least. Soup was the worst minestrone I have ever had. You might as well poured vegetable stock with some chopped carrots celery & onion in a soup bowl. SERVICE WAS GOOD 😊 she kindly offered to replace my meal.

I went there yesterday with my wife while visiting Venice Florida. I don’t know how this place has such good reviews because honestly the food is not good, ESPECIALLY the pizza! Ordered a 12” supreme pizza and it was the worse pizza I’ve ever had and not even close! Soggy in the middle where you couldn’t even pick up a slice, the sausage had a funny taste which was very unpleasant. The service wasn’t any better either, forgot our drinks, never offered or gave my wife bread with her meal. Terrible from start to finish. Would advise against eating there I’m sure there’s better options

Stopped here to try a new place for lunch because I love pizza and Italian. Now , I really wish I could have gave this place 5 stars because the food tasted so good. But the service really blew it. The servers hardly said two words to us. The tall brunette female hostess/waitress with tattoos was not friendly at all. She didn't even ask us what we wanted to drink so we never got to order a tea or soda, we only had the water on the table. Now the male server who came out to serve us our food was friendlier. The food was good. I got a slice of pizza and my husband got San Danielle sandwich and the canoli was the best canoli we have ever tasted. This restaurant is located in a vary lovely area right by the beach. Lots of shops and resturaunts to walk in this shopping Plaza.
This place seems nice on the outside but the treatment isn't the best. It waitor was nice but the host was completely rude. When it was time to be seated he only pointed at us and where our seats were. No words spoken the whole time and we were sat outside next to no heater the whole time we were freezing. Additionally when new people were set next to us the host offered a heated area for them. All wait staff other than out single waiter treated us well. We were not rude at all we were polite. Even the lady who picked up our trays was not nice. Very diappointed. Not to us at all, seriously not the best host. I would recommend only doordash for this place because the food was good thats it. Not the best experience when looking for a nice place.

First time dining and the place was amazing. Loved the charm of the inside but there was a large group so we sat outside. The food choices were fantastic. I wish I would have taken a picture of my sausage roll. Next time I am in Venice I will come 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.

Very cold in there they even opened the door and let more cold air in when it was only like 55 outside, very noisy and way too crowded. Won’t be back. Very nice staff, food ok but that’s it.

I had beef roll with pasta and sauce, it was all delicious, mu company had pizza half four seasons and half pepperoni, doll was thin and ends very crispy 👌. It was perfect and very delicious. When I checked the menu it was a lot of dishes without meat so it was a great place for a vegy person.
