Only stopped for a slice and a water and....wow, best pizza I've had in a while. The Margarita (they call it fresh tomato) slice was crisp, zero flop, mozz tasted fresh and just a taste of fresh basil. Excellent. The service staff was surprisingly engaged considering both inside and outside clamor. Highly recommended. read more

Another great dinner at Trattoria da mino. This time we brought our family to have dinner with us after visiting the beach. Of course we got our all time favorite pizza. The kids got their pasta Alfredo, like usual and we did try their soup which was simple but good. My sister got the tortellini pasta. The food was delicious like always. The tortellini was a hit for my sister she loved it so next time I'll definitely try it. I will say we had eight in our party plus a baby and it was a little tricky to fit us all, but we ended up sitting outside and made it work. Always a pleasure visiting. read more

Took a drive from Sarasota to try Italian in Venice and it was definitely worth it. Amazing Italian Food!! Very authentic! Service and ambiance were great as well. read more

We just had lunch there and it's was disappointing. My son ordered two slices of supreme pizza. They literally put raw onion, raw green peppers and raw mushrooms on top of the pizza. The veggies were completely raw. The slices were also cold. I had the braciole and it was cool in the middle. My daughters ortolano was sparse on the veggies. read more

We were spending a few days in Osprey-Venice area -we had done a few local seafood places , which were ok- including the famous Sharkeys on the pier in Venice. Food was good, but SO BUSY AND SO LOUD! Second night- looking for non seafood (we live in Clearwater and have great seafood available.) We decided on Trattoria Da Mino and looked at reviews for their great pizza. Well we really loved their pizza. Got the Supreme which had yummy sauce, nice and stringy mozzarella, peppers, onions, mushrooms, pepperoni and sausage on a crispy thin crust . A 12" 6 piece pie more than filled us up. Very small restaurant, but a few outdoor tables too. Great, efficient staff. While we did not try their other offerings, their pastas looked great! Their tiramisu looked yummy, but too full to partake! read more

While I'm a sucker for any al fresco meal -- I enjoy eating outside! -- I won't return to Trattoria Da Mino. I'll add that the pizza we ordered was all right .... but the price inflated! We treated a friend to a birthday lunch and ordered a large pizza, a Caesar salad and a bottle of Montepulciano. As B is vegetarian and we are not, we chose a half & half pie. Our half was what's called "Capricciosa" - mozerella, tomato sauce, ham, mushrooms, artichokes and capers. My friend asked for plain cheese with green peppers and onions. Our server entered hers as margherita. We were charged $5.20 extra for a smattering of bell peppers and ANOTHER $5.20 for some onions! That's for HALF a pie in addition to the $31.20 charged for the pizza! No way worth it. The wine, listed at $32, was delicious. (I think this is my new favorite red.) But it was entered at $33.28. Perhaps tax was included .... but then, sales tax was added at the bottom of our tab. C'mon! The restaurant is popular, our server was efficient. When he heard it was my friend's birthday he offered tiramisu on the house, which she turned down. Not wanting to put a damper on my friend's luncheon my husband regrettably didn't question the bill. Being ripped off leaves a bad taste in my mouth. So long, Trattoria Da Mino. We won't be back. read more

Excellent food with the very best in preparation and ingredients. This is real Italian food at its best!

Don't pass up this restaurant in historic downtown Venice. It's at the end of the strip so you gotta keep walking past all the other really good Italian restaurants. Keep walking, it's worth it! I had the Quattro Formaggi pizza. The pizza crust was perfect-just the right thickness and crispy. Our waiter said the pizza is outstanding because they use water that has been filtered multiple times. (I also appreciated that the drinking water is filtered also). I added the fresh tomatoes that are brought to the table with fresh bread. I also liked the oregano and basil shakers at that table. Good service, sat outside on another gorgeous day in Florida. Definitely want to return to try other menu options. read more

I ordered a cheese pizza and a margherita. The pizza was OK, typical for a Florida Italian restaurant pizza. Crust could have been crispier but that's the usual down here. I'll round up to 3 stars for the pizza because I can't give 2.5. 0/5 for effort and presentation on the margherita. read more

Was invited to speak at the liter hotties book club. The service was great and the staff never missed a step in serving us. The lunch special was $20 for salad, soup and half a lasagna. There was enough food to satisfy and the food was fine. Nothing over the top. They do serve beer and wine and there was plenty of seating available although we did make reservations just to be safe since we were a group of six. Rumor has it they are known for their pizza which I never got to try. So that will mean another trip. It's definitely worth a second visit. read more

Trattoria Da Mino - Italian Near Me - Venice, Florida

Service was superb at this bustling little restaurant! It's not fancy, but it was very inviting everyone from the host to the waiter to the very nice lady busing the table was extremely accommodating and kind. It's owned by a guy who has restaurants all over the country and also in Italy, but this is definitely an Americanized version of Italian food. That said, it was great - every person enjoyed their meal. Gluten-free penne pasta with tomato sauce and pinenuts : the gluten-free pasta is very good, as was the sauce, but it was decidedly lacking in pinenuts 4/5 lobster ravioli: this comes with either soup or salad, I got the salad which was quite good, but came without dressing? Not sure if that was a mistake, but I did just use the oil and vinegar that was on the table and a bit of salt and pepper, and it was really fresh. The lobster ravioli is absolutely decadent, the ravioli are absolutely stuffed with big pieces of lobster, the vodka sauce is so rich and creamy. I couldn't ask for more with this dish it was truly exceptional. However, if you get a stomachache from rich food, you might want to split this one. 5/5 5/5 read more

We spent the day at Venice Beach yesterday and wanted something to eat before we drove home. The location of this place is fantastic. It is just a hop, skip, and jump from the beach with plenty of parking around the general vicinity. It's a quaint little place that offers both indoor and outdoor dining. We were immediately greeted when we walked in. Not just by the host but by every single staff member that saw us. The servers were quick and attentive which meant we waited for nothing. We kept it simple. We ordered a supreme pizza and split it. I can't speak for pastas, soups, salads, or desserts, but the pizza was fantastic. It came out piping hot. The crust was amazing; thin, crispy, and flavorful. This pizza really rounded off a great day at the beach. I'd love to say that next time we are in Venice, we are going to stop by and try some of their other menu items, but we won't because we will be coming back for this pizza! read more

Great authentic Italian! The noodles in their lasagna melt in your mouth. I don't know if they make their own pasta, but it is wonderful. All of the food is good and I love the quaint little atmosphere on the side sidewalk. read more

Arrived on a Saturday night and was able to get in without a reservation. We both had pasta dishes and they were really good. Wish we could have sat on the patio, but the food was really good, highly recommend. read more

Very nice spot in downtown Venice. Small but not cramped. Food is excellent. I have tried 4-5 dishes and they were all perfectly prepared. Service was on point, as drinks and food arrived at a good pace. Food was nice and hot so no dwell time in the window. If you want a intimate spot with great Italian food, this is the place in Venice. read more

I had eggplant and my husband had lasagna. The flavor was good but the eggplant was soggy and over cooked. The portions were small. The bathroom was dirty and in need of attention. The waiter was very nice and apologetic for the wait on the food. read more

Had to sit outside since we did not have a reservation. That was ok. Salad greens were not very good, brown and bitter. Entrees were good as always (we are locals). However, when bill came I did not know they now add the tip, but the bill also lists suggestions on the amount to tip. I did not hear the server tell me that they are now adding the tip and if my daughter had not stopped me, I would have also tipped her in cash totaling a tip of $48.00. They also charge if you use a credit card even if it is a debit. I normally tip in cash and was not happy about having it added to my debit card. I do not plan to return again any time soon. The tip should be at the customer's discretion, not the restaurant. read more

What a little gem and ashamed to say it took 3 years of living in Venice to even take notice of this place! But that speaks to the fact that it's pretty nondescript...I've walked by it countless times. It wasn't until I was browsing downtown Venice restaurants that I realized this was a place I needed to try. Loved that they are open on Sundays. We went for dinner and my husband said the inside was quite packed. We sat outside (thank goodness for umbrellas for shade) and witnessed take out pizzas were headed out the door every few minutes. Again, how had we not heard of or tried this place for so long?! My son loved his giant kids pizza and my husband liked his meaty calzone. It had a nice kick to it and was enough for two meals at a decent price too. I adored the fact they have gluten free pizza AND gluten free pasta. My possibilities were endless on what I could order. I went with a shrimp and pasta dish (forget what it was called). The 6 shrimp were cooked perfectly and were decent sized and the light wine sauce was super flavorful. I loved it with a glass of Chardonnay. I did think it was slightly overpriced though at $26 I think. Next time we're trying the pizzas! I can't wait. read more

In Venice all the time and never noticed this spot. It's cute! Not many tables inside. Got a tomato slice of pizza. It tasted fresh and had good flavor. Not too much flop. I would eat there again. It was 5.63 including tax for the slice. A little high. Especially for Florida pizza. I'm used to this slice being more like $3.50 read more

This has turned into our go-to place in downtown Venice, it never disappoints. Very professional service and the food is always delicious. In a town full of restaurants where you're never sure if the food and service are going to be as good as the last time, it's wonderful to have a consistently great place to go. read more

The best bread and pizza dough I have ever had in a restaurant. It reminded me of my mother's Jewish egg bread. I am assuming it had olive oil in it. The sauce was delicate and not heavy or too spicy or salty. Great too if you have high blood pressure or are elderly. The minestrone soup tasted home made with lots of celery and vegetables. It tasted heartwarming, good and healthy. read more

Food was absolutely awesome. great flavors and very filling. Service was good, the only issue was the waiter didn't offer any dressing for the salads so we use the oil and vinegar on table. it was after when. we heard another customer ask for ranch, did we know they had dressings to choose. we took Cannoli home with an order of meatballs for tomorrow. ambience seems more of a pizza joint inside and out. not a place to go if you are looking for a more high end appeal. Wife and I will be going back soon to try other dishes and some cheese pizza. read more

Pizza is top notch, restaurant is quaint, service was excellent. This pizza shop is simple but cute, it feels homey and inviting. My friend and I stopped in for a quick dinner and were quickly seated outside, we were pleasantly surprised with the free bread they brought out and used the oil and balsamic vinegar on the table for dipping! We loved that we could order pizza by the slice instead of having to order a whole pizza for just the two of us! The servers were sweet and attentive!

had a late lunch here today. our waiter was a young man who took good care of us. Attentive when he needed, nice personality.

Both were good with a good sauce. my wife's comment after leaving was we will come back. a true compliment. read more

This is about 3 weeks overdue, but I want to get it posted. Yes it was Christmas Eve!!!! and I did not want to be on kitchen duty and the chef was taking the day off, our youngest elf was home from senior year in college on break.......so all the below is impressive on a normal night......but here it was even more special. Dropped in on a chance. Parking FREE and easy a block away. I posted a pile of pictures but suffice to say SERVICE was absolutely world class and awesome. Our server had half the tables and she could steal the title from Pete Rose of " Charlie Hustle". We thought we were her only table by the efficient but timely and courteous attention. Fantastic personality and great recommendations as well the kitchen was responsive to special needs/items. (I think they were having a little Christmas party for the staff after we left!!!) Of note the vegetables were cooked to order and perfect, the pasta was fresh and fantastic, the gluten free was not only edible but I will be re-ordering it again next time because we are going back for sure!!! Good product. I got the vegan lovers pasta (eggplant, veggies, no cheese). The pièce de résistance (yeah I know its an Italian restaurant) was a healthy (sized) hunk/slice of tiramisu that was truly magnificent. Cute little spot, not huge amounts of seating, but if there is a wait.....its worth it. When folks are in from out of town and they want Italian......this is number one for us after a year and a half in the area. read more

Great food but kind of a different experience. We weren't welcomed. We weren't acknowledged. We stepped up out front by the sign "please wait to be seated " & I finally asked a server how long it would be. He said he'd get back to me but did not. I then asked the hostess when I realized she was checking people in. She said she'd check. Well, finally about 10 minutes later she said it would be about ten minutes. Why not make us feel welcome? It was 10 minutes & we sat by an outdoor heater. I did have to ask for it to be lit because it ran out of gas. We immediately got bread & oil (tasty) but nothing else. The tables nearby had wait staff...finally a nice woman said she was so sorry but no one told her we were her table. She was helpful & pleasant. I think she pushed our pizza up in line because it quickly came. We had a medium 1/2 caprisciosa 1/2 buongustao. Tasty crust & flavorful! So...I'll assume this was an unusual event & not just us!! Great pizza!! read more
