The food was really bad. When I brought it up with management they were both very very very rude (that’s 3 very) had a horrible attitude. instead of addressing the issue or trying to ensure customer satisfaction. I would not recommend this restaurant.

The pizza look pretty good. I got shrimp parmesan. It was fair. The meat sauce on the pasta tasted burnt. Your options are pretty limited this side of atlantic beach. We've eaten here a few times, next time I'm going to tried their pizza.

The caesar salad was very pricey, and it felt like a bag from Trader Joe's. The pizza pie was not bad. But, it wasn't hot. The presentation was eh.

About a month ago there was an altercation between my family and the waiter and the unprofessional owner and his wife . As soon as I left, I heard there’s an altercation involving my aunt ,cousin sister, my mother. the waiter that took my family‘s order got in my cousin‘s face because they wanted to discount . The owners Wife got into my cousin‘s face and one of the customers called my cousin fat and you guys did nothing about that everyone was gaining up on my family and even the bartender got involved in the argument and everyone was yelling at my family saying that they causing a disturbance. Really unprofessional for the owner, letting his workers and The customers bully my family. Your food is nasty anyways ! I really hope this place gets shut down and I really hope the workers and the owner and the owner‘s wife and the bartender goes to jail

I’m giving this place one star not because they deserve it but only because it’s the only way I can write a review. There was a bug in my food and I asked the waiter if they could please either give me a new plate or something else to eat mind you I had already waited 45 minutes to be taken my order and on top of that had to wait for my food to be brought out. The owners and who ever it was came out arguing and making a show as if we didn’t want to pay the bill when we simply asked nicely. This place is disgusting and not just the food but the people who run this restaurant save your time and money from coming to this place. We were treated like garbage because they felt like it was fun for them. All I wanted was to eat something that didn’t have a bug in it.

Let me start off my saying they don’t even deserve 1 star—Dining at Dino’s Villa Mare was truly one of the worst restaurant experiences we’ve ever had. From the start, we waited over 45 minutes just to have someone take our order, and didn’t receive our food until 9:55 PM — despite being seated around 8:00 PM.
When we calmly brought up the excessive delay and asked if some sort of discount could be considered, my cousin tried to handle it respectfully. Instead of addressing the concern with basic professionalism, one of the owners — who I assume is the wife — came out of nowhere and started yelling directly in my cousin’s face. Naturally, my cousin responded — and honestly, her reaction was completely justified.
Then, what seemed to be the husband, also an owner, came from behind the counter with an aggressive, confrontational demeanor, puffing out his chest like he was ready to fight. He got in her face and even pulled on the door she was holding in an attempt to intimidate her — a level of aggression that was completely uncalled for.
To make matters worse, this all seemed to be entertainment for them — the owners were laughing, and even a table of customers joined in like it was some high school spectacle.
What really stood out was that right before we received our bill, the male owner was seen arguing with two men, and his tone and demeanor were completely different — far more controlled and respectful. The contrast was glaring and added to how uncomfortable and disrespected we felt. & Yes the cops were called.
At no point did we imply we wouldn’t pay the bill — we simply voiced valid concerns. Instead of customer service, we were met with hostility, intimidation, and mockery. The owner is absolutely disguting as he also called my cousin fat & ugly.
Oh — and the food? NASTYYY. After all the waiting and stress, it wasn’t even remotely worth it.
Avoid this place at all costs. No one deserves to be treated the way we were. The behavior of the owners was not only unprofessional — it was disgusting.

It's like a hidden gem at the end of Atlantic Beach near the bridge and 1 block from the beach. From the moment you walk in you are greeted like family. Tables have spacious room. There's a bar to sit at and order food if you're not looking to sit at the tables. The wine rack adds that extra touch to a cozy Italian ambiance. Everything on the menu is delicious from appetizers to main course to dessert (the price range I listed should be with appetizers, main course and dessert depending on main courses). You will like the meal you ate but when you come back I recommend trying something new because everything is worth it for your taste buds delight. The bread is delicious but don't fill up before your meal. Pictures are: fried zucchini, (fried calamari was put in the table and eaten before I could take a picture) filet of Sole Francese with grilled vegetables/potatoes (soft and flavorful no knife needed), Ribeye Steak with grilled vegetables/potatoes ( cooked to perfection med/rare), penne alla vodka (perfect al dente). Chicken Francese with vegetables and beef short ribs in brown gravy with mushrooms. All meals are perfectly seasoned. The brick oven pizza (any topping) is a thin crispy crust with delicious sauce but know in advance it's that good and you can't have just one slice. They are all made by the owner Mike. Dessert are delicious if you have enough room to eat. Cake, pie, ice cream, coffee, cappuccino and more. We have tried them all but the pistachio cake which is really ice-cream/cake and the warm brownie with vanilla ice-cream and whipped cream were our favorite, carrot cake was flavorful but they're all delicious. Mike always makes it a point to greet and acknowledge all his customers and thanks them for coming. You will definitely enjoy your meal whether alone, couples or a group, you will want to return. I have been going there for years and It keeps getting better. I'm sure you will love it too.
It's my 1st time here & I can't say enough. The entire staff is very nice. The atmosphere is nice & quaint . I had spaghetti & meatballs & it was delicious. Meatballs were huge. Sauce was spot on. My friend got a panini. I forgot what was inside. She loved it and was huge. For dessert, I had pistachio cake that was out of this world. Their coffee was excellent also. The price was under 100.00. I highly recommend this place. A+++++
Went there for my friends birthday. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. The food was fabulous. The pictures don't do it justice because people were already digging in when I took them. Martinis were top notch! Will definitely visit again.
