“ This was an experience! They were so full of energy and explained everything in the menu and their background as well. We enjoyed their authentic food, start to finish! Make a reservation for sure, definitely worth it! ”
“ To be totally transparent, my husband and I are African American so not all places are welcoming so we immediately thought about leaving when we walked in to this small restaurant and seen no diversity however Ciro(the owner also server) greeted us and gave us a brief tour and introduction. He and the other server (Tyler)were very nice throughout our dining experience. We were VERY impressed with the food and serve! This is a hidden gem and now one of our favorite dinning places ”
“ My hubby and I found this place while visiting Sarasota. We love this place! This is a real hidden gem! From the moment we entered the restaurant the experience was AMAZING! Ciro the owner and chef make us feel like royalty! He welcomed us and explained how they make the handmade pasta, the area in Italy where they are from, etc. Ciro is very welcoming, happy, charming. Same as his son Tito. We ordered calamari for entree and it was cooked to perfection. They brought us homemade italian bread and oh boy... was so good that we forgot our low carb diet... and we ate double portion. For the main course we ordered the specualty of the day ( 4 to choose from). My hubby ordered shrimp Fetuchini and I ordered chicken in lemon sauce with pasta. Both dishes were outstanding! The mix of herbs and flavors made each dish exquisite! We accompany the dinner with wine and finished the meal with a heavenly dessert made to perfection. Honestly our time there was precious and Ciro even put two hearts on our dessert. While we dine, Ciro was singing Italian songs, making the experience a total package!. Love this place and we wish we live closer to Vino Vino. We recomend this %. Fyi. This is a very small unique and a famous place. Please RSVP, we are happy we did and we went there as soon they opened, if we did not RSVP, we would not had been able to eat there, because later on that evening, a lady had RSVP the whole place for her 60 birthday party. ”
“ What a phenomenal place!! The food was insane! Hands down best Italian food in Florida nothing artificial or canned, you can tell as you eat. the owner Ciro cares about his food and what he makes. I would highly recommend anyone who looking for authentic and delicious food to give them a go! You won’t be disappointed Family owned is the way to go ”
“ Amazing food, atmosphere and service. A small place nestled in an unassuming strip mall. You wouldn’t stop here if you didn’t know about the place. Small seating, reservations are a must. You will not be disappointed and feel like one of the family. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. You have to try this place just for their home made pasta. ”
“ Excellent dinner. Great service! Update 6/11/23 - Went back a couple of days ago. Had chicken with mustard sauce and pasta with smoked pancetta. Was so unbelievably delicious, that we made a reservation for the following evening. I think we're going to start eating here once a week... Service was impeccable, and they really go above and beyond to make you feel like royalty. Can't recommend this enough. Go now! ”
“ Controlled chaos in a lively, fun and intimate setting! Food is excellent with great specials and owner is passionate about his craft! Good and reasonably priced wine options. We love coming here because it is unique and everyone is simply having a great evening! ”
“ This is truly a 5 star Italian restaurant! The waiter and owner/chef couldn’t have been more cordial and knowledgeable and their recommendations were spot on. Four of us shared 3 apps, each devoured a different meal, and we enjoyed 4 different desserts. Everything was fresh and homemade! The wine suggestion was outstanding. We ended our experience with the entire restaurant singing along with Chef and the waiter to Italian songs! Try it, you’ll find a new favorite! ”
