Restaurants near North Venice

“This brewery is a welcome addition in the Venice area. The 3 different beers that I had were excellent. Lots of nicely balanced flavors. Service was also great, and the entire building was exceptionally clean. The food from Tropical Kitchen and Grill food truck was also very good.We will definitely return.”

“WOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!Absolutely Fabulous EVERYTHING!!I ordered the Italian Sausage with Broccoli Rabe and my friend got the 4 cheese pizza with mozzarella, provolone, grana padano and SCAMORZA CHEESE!!!!! Its was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!! The crust-PERFECTION! We got to meet the owner, Giuseppe who is from Puglia. I thanked him for bringing me back to my Great Grandma’s kitchen when I was a kid because NOBODY EVER made the sausage and broccoli rabe like her and everyone’s that I’ve tried since then was over cooked or lacking flavor or just plain not good. This was as close as I’ve ever had and can’t wait to go back to have it again!! For desert we had Tiramisu and the crème puffs. Guys……. When I tell you I had an out of body experience…… that Tiramisu was cosmic! The crème puffs were so light and creamy ……. True quality in all of the ingredients used. Definitely an AUTHENTIC Italian restaurant and everything is definitely home made and made with love like Italian food is supposed to be!! We had the bruschetta as an appetizer….. I could eat it for the rest of my life!!!!!!I wish I lived closer. Buuuuuuut I’d be 400 pounds!”

“absolutely wonderful everything we ate was great the people were wonderful the atmosphere was right on for an Italian style restaurant. planning on going back again”

“This Place is a MUST Try in Gulf Gate, the food staff and atmosphere is so lovely. You feel like your transported to Turkey. I havent had one thing there I didnt like. Its also alot quieter than alot of restuants with loud music so it was a great atmosphere to bring guests you want to conversate with. LOVE ”

“The food was amazing. I ordered a half pepperoni and half cheese pizza. It had a perfectly cooked crust and the flavor was immaculate. Other than the amazing food, the service was top tier. The owner took our order and engaged in conversations with us while maintaining professional. The atmosphere/ambiance in the restaurant was super positive. High energy and I felt the positivity through my whole meal. Definitely will go back whenever I'm in Sarasota.”

“I travel a lot for work. And i've eaten that a lot of taco trucks over the years. Came across this place and hands down the best food I think I've had from a taco stand. Everything was fresh in full flavor. This will become my new. Go to spot when i'm in the area.”

“Absolutely love this place! Whether it's for a happy hour with friends or a sumptuous meal, it never disappoints. The upscale ambiance and the exceptional staff elevate the experience. From well made drinks to delectable dishes and the company of amazing people, it truly offers everything you could wish for and more.Parking: It is in a strip center in Gulf Gate with plenty of parking.”

“Just found this place today while eating across the street at Tony's Chicago Beef and I'm glad I stopped in to check it out, these cookies are fantastic! Will definitely be back often. May have to gift some of these for the Holidays as well!”

“It took a few minutes for my husband and I to be waited on, but it was quite busy, which told us it must be worth the wait. It definitely was worth it! The Florentine Eggs Benedict was the best I've ever had. My husband had Corn Beef Hash and eggs, made in house not out of a can! It was truly delicious! Hope we make it back that way again soon. We will be back. The waitress was very attentive and kept your coffee cup filled. Bravo for that!!”

“Absolutely love the matcha, so earthy and delicious! Mannie and Amanda have made me four different drinks so far, all of which I have loved. This coffee is so flavorful and perfectly roasted on its own that you don’t need sugar to mask any bitter or burned taste that you find at the chain cafes around here. Amanda has introduced me to oat milk and I’m loving that too.”

“I'm not kidding when I say this has been the best coffee we have ever had. The craftsmanship and quality of each drink and flavor is like no other coffee we have had! Besides being the best coffee we have had it has also been the nicest down to earth people we have met and so glad to say it is finally a good positive experience for us everyday going to see Gabi and Patrick. Our Daily drinks are the Blueberry Dream and New Orleans cold brew coffee which are dramatically different but equally amazing id order a flight to try all of them! Thanks for adding such a pleasant local place to Sarasota!Vegetarian options: They have all your milk preferencesParking: Easy little parking lot for all shops in the plazaKid-friendliness: Super nice People people welcome everyone (they have hot chocolate ;) )”

“We tried Tripletail for the first time and it did not disappoint. Our stunning server, Lily, was very attentive and knowledgeable. My husband tried a smoked bourbon and said it was very good, I had a tasty white sangria. We shared the shrimp and crab dip app. Our entrees were delicious. We had the tripletail, and we highly recommend this. I had the crab stuffed shrimp and they were equally as good. We highly recommend visiting Tripletail Seafood in Sarasota.”

“Super friendly! The owner was very kind and the gelato was great! Went early in the morning so there was no crowd. The outdoor seating was a great place to enjoy the Florida weather and some gelato! Will be back on my next visit!”

“What a beautiful surprise we found today in search for dinner on the water. The cocktails were refreshing, dinner was delicious with a large variety to choose from, dessert was worth every calorie and the sunset water views was priceless. The service was superb with Sophie as our server. Great bands both inside and outside to compliment the relaxing ambiance. Will definitely be back!”

“Excellent ice cream and Italian ice. We have been twice and everyone loves what they order. The owner is so fun to talk to. He welcomes new ideas and is so innovative. Definitely recommend!”

“Found this amazing pizza on Sunday while driving through Gulf Gate! Delicious, fresh ingredients and reasonably priced- go try it if you are looking for something more exciting than your average pizza!!”

“Simply said, PHENOMENAL! Emelio, Rosie and staff are fantastic! The food is sensational! I certainly think it’s one the best restaurants in Sarasota! Bravo!! Can’t wait to go back!”

“I just ate the best sandwich I've ever ever had! 9 ounces of meat on a 9 inch chunk of Cuban bread, nice and crispy on the outside, the cheese was melted, the meat was hot, and.....I just can't believe how incredibly good this Cuban sandwich was.I also had one of their little potato torpedo looking things, papas rellenas, I believe. Crunchy on the outside, inside is mashed potato that is wrapped around some spicy beef filling. It was a very cool snack, for sure! I'll probably never get back this way, as I am from the midwest, but if I do, for darn sure I'll be stopping back in here.I did read the reviews that said it was in a convenience store/gas station, but in my head I thought it meant that it was in the building of former convenience store/gas station, but it really IS inside a gas station store. You walk in the door and the food area is to the right. Ring the bell if the wonderful owner is not in view. It's a simple menu, very fast service, and just spaced on two things I had, I imagine everything else is incredibly good.There is a seating little area outside in the back, but otherwise it's take it with you.Absolutely worth the detour off the highway!!”

“My family had an amazing experience today at Jake’s. As a person with a lot of food allergies there is nothing more comforting then a place that invites conversation around individual dietary needs. From the signs posted letting you know to mention allergies, to checking ingredients, and taste testing-every moment made me feel safe to enjoy ice cream with my family. Thank you for all of your work to help make quality products that accommodate food allergies. Thank you for the kindness and passion that is clearly poured into every moment. It is the small moments that really make a difference and Jake’s is amazing at creating joy through small moments and interactions! Added bonus-the ice cream is beyond words good! So happy to have found this ice cream shop!”

“Best Chicago Dog south of Chicago itself.This ain't no high society joint, but seriously good-eats, Great & Friendly Service, fresh cut and made fries.A must experience place. And we have been for years now as native Floridians.”

“Lived in Osprey for 8 years & never knew about Roessler"s. A friend turned me on to this place & it is truly a JEM in the area !!! If fine dining is for U ,you must go & enjoy all they have to offer it will blow u away !!!!”

“Sushi was fresh and delectable, the chicken fried rice was addictive (?), and the gyoza was amazing!5 ⭐️ for fabulous Asian cuisine! You won’t be disappointed!Kid-friendliness: Staff was friendly and accommodating for kid patrons”

“It was amazing, I asked the gas clerk how the food was and he recommended the fried rice with chicken. I have to say it smelled yummy and when I got home and had some it was amazing. Love trying new places to eat and love helping the community. Go try them out. Friendly service as well.”

“After two + years my husband has finally found his favorite breakfast restaurant. I was in a “oatmeal” mood kind of day and it was excellent…homemade, fresh fruit arrived nice and hot. He had their country fried steak and eggs w/home fries and marble rye toast. Everything was excellent. Should have taken pictures, sorry. We will be back for sure.”

“Ok so I cannot say enough about this place…it’s my new favorite restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious, healthy, fresh…and a work of art. Staff are amazingly helpful and sweet…it’s beautiful inside…there are just no downsides to this place. The falafel rainbow bowl is my new favorite lunch. ❤️”

“My son and his wife are visiting so we took them to Thai 2 Go in Englewood. They loved the food. My son got drunken noodles and said they were the best he’s ever had and he’s had them from many different places. My daughter-in-law had Red Curry with just the perfect amount of spicy to it. I had the yellow curry with chicken, my new favorite! We started with fried spring rolls, so good and ended with sticky rice with mango. Wow it was all delicious! 5 star rating from us. By the way, lots left over for later!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Thai 2 go”

“Nice comfortable place to have a great bowl of loaded Tator Tots!! Reuben sandwiches are great and specials during the week definitely make it a nice place to visit regularly.”

“My uncle Tim recommended that my family and I check Spearfish out. We spent a long weekend in Siesta Key and this was by far the best food we had! It wasn’t “touristy” like a lot of other places nearby - it was just GOOD. The food Eric cooked on the green egg was some of the best I’ve ever had. We will definitely be back.”

“We had the most amazing dinner last night. Absolutely wonderful as usual. The food and service is always spot on. We always look forward to having dinner here. Just can't say enough good things about Tortellino Bistrot.”
