I am from the Tampa Bay Area, in March 2024 I came to visit my Aunt and Uncle who were vacationing in Venice Beach. We decided to eat pizza and stopped by this cute pizzeria on the strip. We ordered a huge vegetarian pizza…my goodness, I have never had a pizza like this in my life…I am sure I will be taking a 2 hour trip soon to just to get this pizza!!!

Sat outside with the sun glaring in our eyes, waitress attempted to move umbrella, but at the end didn't care that it was still blinding and she was actually pretty snippy. Had to ask multiple times for something to be brought to the table. At the end of the day, food was unimpressive, Pasta Carbonara does not have scrambled eggs in it and a seafood pasta shouldn't have overcooked pasta and overcooked shrimp.

Unfortunately we will not be dining here again as the service, food quality and portions have all been extremely disappointing as of late while the prices on the other hand have gone up. We actually thought it may have been under new ownership but come to find out it hasn’t changed hands.
I am extremely disappointed after my recent visit to Trattoria Da Mino. We chose to sit outside on a Saturday night without a reservation, which was accommodated immediately, but that was where the positive aspects of our evening ended. After being seated, we experienced significant delays: it took a long time before anyone greeted us and asked our drink orders. A waiter came to our table introduced himself, took our drink orders, and disappeared. At least 15 minutes went by and another waiter came introduced himself and asked us what we would like to drink. We told him we already placed a drink order, and he said "Yes, well, uhm, I will be your waiter now, what can I get you to drink?". The initial lack of service by confusion between two waiters, leading to even more delays and us waiting at least 40 minutes just to receive drinks and a basket of bread for that matter.The food, unfortunately, did not make up for the poor service. Three of us ordered classic spaghetti and meatballs, priced at $23 a plate, which lacked any sort of flavor or zest. The consensus among us was that it was profoundly unsatisfactory, with one of the girls barely touching her dish only eating a couple of bites, and another girl remarking that Chef Boyardee from a can tasted better. It really lacked of any taste.The reason for the neglect became apparent as our waiters were mostly engaged with a large group of non-guests at the other side of our seating area, neglecting their duties towards dining customers. The group they were entertained by appeared to be a group of friends and were occupying the space in front of the building adjacent to the restaurant. This lack of professionalism contributed significantly to our negative experience.I however can not explain the reason for the lack of flavor in our meals. It is quite possible the chef was also being entertained by the outside group of friends, but since we do not know what the chef looked like, I can only comment on the two waiters enjoying themselves at the expense of the patrons.I regret to say that this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. Despite the location or ambiance, the lack of attentive service and subpar food quality at Trattoria Da Mino it makes it a place I simply cannot recommend.
