Good and service was great! We dined outside. Wonderful cross breeze even in this May heatwave. Bread and olive oil on point. Calamari was very good. Pasta dishes were both great that we tried. read more

Attended a birthday dinner w some family. I think there's a poor design in terms of some seating across from the bar. It's super loud in the room - would recommend moving it if possible. Food was okay - I have had better Chilean sea bass. I should've gotten pasta. I had a few bites from my partner's plate. Those items were a bit better. Her mom thinks they have a good wine selection Service was excellent. Dessert was also delicious. read more

Our night didn't start out very well at all. But that's because it started out across the street at a different place! We walked out of there and headed over to Dario instead. What a FANTASTIC decision, because Trattoria Dario was absolutely PHENOMENAL. I ordered the beggars purse and my lady ordered the penne alla vodoka. Both were some of the best we've ever had, and I don't say that lightly. She even got a free piece of birthday cheesecake! Our server was fast and attentive. A very great birthday dinner all around! First time here, but will 100% be back guaranteed. read more

Trattoria Dario - Italian Manhattan - Italian Near Me - Vero Beach, Florida

We've been here twice now and really enjoyed it both times. The veal parm was great, and the bruschetta was very fresh and delicious. The warm bread with olive oil was a nice touch, too. My wife had the penne alla vodka, which was really flavorful. The sausage was good, I'm sure the other proteins would be too. Everything was well done, and we'll definitely be back! read more

Two good things: service was good and my salmon was great. Other than that, skip this tired place. The food was, for the most part, terrible. Previously frozen, unseasoned, and generally inedible. Calamari: chewy, bland & uniform pieces (read: frozen) Caprese: unevenly sliced and no basil Penne alla vodka: oily and not even close to the right flavor. I thought it was Mac & cheese at first Eggplant stacker: spongy and odd Cheesecake at the end was okay but had straight cinnamon on it. Overall the food was gross. We sat outside but when I went inside to use the restroom it was unbearably loud. Never again. read more

Good food and service always consistent. Can get noisy but Vero popular as the only really good Italian on the island. Off-season is the time to visit as in season can get crowded read more

We are frequent diners due to the friendly staff, great food and relaxed atmosphere. Favorites include the Osso Buco and the Fish specials.

We came here two nights in a row due to the proximity to our hotel initially, but then again because of the amazing food and service. The atmosphere was great and our server Sebastian was friendly knowledgable and very attentive. The filet mingon with the mushroom Demi glaze was incredible, my girlfriend loved hers as well. Night 2 was spaghetti and meatballs for me (huge meatballs!) and lobster ravioli for the Mrs. Such a great little spot to enjoy dinner or drinks, highly recommend. The wine was incredible too a huge selection read more

Unfortunately while our service was excellent as usual, the meal was underwhelming as they've changed the preparation of the mussels and presentation.....I also had the cioppino which came out warm with the mussels and scallops in dish over cooked . I wondering if there has been a change in the chef...... The beggars purse however came out excellent in a brown butter sage cream sauce..... Maybe just an off night...... read more

Service was top notch! Ambiance - Warm, welcoming, the food was spectacular. Looking forward to returning. read more

Trattoria Dario - Eggplant Appetizer... - Italian Near Me - Vero Beach, Florida

Good solid Italian restaurant. Large menu with all the expected specialties. Oftentimes a good fish special as well. Servers are well versed in the menu and attentive. Can be noisy at times. They do have a back room that has space for 6 or 8. It's quieter in there if you want to have full table conversations. read more

We came her for my birthday and were very impressed! Amazing Italian food with great service. Highly recommend the appetizer meatballs with ricotta (the name slips me) and the bruschetta. You can't go wrong with any of the appetizers, and our server Vernon was spectacular! Will definitely be back for more occasion dinners! read more

The first night we were greeted by Jasmine at the door. We didn't have reservations but she kindly instructed us on how to get seats at the bar. She was helpful, warm and funny. Sure enough we did eventually get seats at the bar. The pastas we ordered were amazing! We went back a couple nights later because the food was just so good. It was nice to be greeted again by Jasmine. She gives a great representation for this restaurant! Again, the food was excellent. read more

First let me start with our server Sebastian. He was fantastic! Very attentive to our needs. Two of us had the veal parmigiana which was very good. One had the pompano with scallops and enjoyed very much. Another had the Berkshire pork chop which was perfectly done and tender. The calamari appetizer was not very good. It seemed over done and very chewy. Unfortunately we didn't eat most of it. read more

We live across the street. They are very busy and popular. Couple of weeks ago our son ordered a chicken pasta dish that came and was served with very very little penne pasta. He complained. Last week we took our good friends for dinner. The hors d'oerves went well and were tasty. But then we had to wait for more than an hour before the main course was served. Unbearable! (even though the seafood dishes were good, but by then we would have eaten anything! Then the bison steak was served incredibly undercooked. After waiting more than an hour we sent that back, and it still came back undercooked, and below grade with gristle. When we call to talk to the owner, he said only that we should expect such a long wait. We will not be going back. read more

One of the best restaurants in Vero Beach, if not the best Italian restaurant on the Treasure Coast. From the welcome to desserts this was a wonderful experience. The bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. The servers were similarly friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The menu was extensive and everything we ate was delicious. Can't say enough about the excellence in the culinary team too. My friend said she would put it up against the best NYC Italian restaurants. read more

This is my third time at Trattoria Dario while visiting Vero Beach and each time it has been wonderful. However, our recent was exceptional. From the moment we walked in and were greeted by the very welcoming hostess, that also took into account our 3 year old, by offering a coloring book and a booster seat, to our fantastic server Vernon, everything was amazing. Vernon was so kind, knowledgeable and attentive and the food was delicious as always. I highly recommend the lobster ravioli and their fried caprese salad. Dario will always be on our must visit list when we are in Vero Beach. read more

Food: We really enjoyed the large menu and had a hard time choosing what to order because multiple dishes looks really delicious! Calamari - the calamari was crispy and not overly fried. The only missing piece is that it was not seasoned at all so we added some salt and pepper. Beef carpaccio - we really enjoyed the beef carpaccio! The arugula was perfectly lemoned on top. There were semi-raw mushrooms in the arugula salad on top which we think don't need to be there. Beggar's purse with crumbled sausage added - this was delicious and unique! The light pear flavor balanced well with the perfectly truffled cream sauce. Snapper - the snapper was buttery and perfectly sauced. Service: The service was excellent-- our waiter has the idea to add the sausage to the beggar's purse dish and this was a fantastic idea. Ambiance: We love the mood lighting and red booths. Very cozy restaurant! read more

Penne vodka with sausage is amazing, happy hour wings as well 10/10. Excellent restaurant. Ryan was great as well!!

First time here, party of 4 in the bar area, corner high top table. Noise, comfort and energy level were just fine. Our server Ryan was fantastic, knowledgeable efficient and friendly. Two in our party had the veal chop. We asked for the chef to make the call on how it was prepared and it was just excellent. My wife got the pompano special, she really enjoyed it. My buddy's wife got the yellowtail snapper and she loved that as well. We had a wonderful experience. I don't think this place misses anything and I would definitely come back. read more

Returned tonight, having been away from this for a while. It was very busy and noisy. There was a large party beside us celebrating a young child's birthday. I enjoyed the chicken piccata although slightly salty, more so than average. Very acceptable. Our guest enjoyed the Gnocchi...great! My wife ordered shrimp (4 served), mashed potatoes (1 scoop...delicious) and broccoli. That wasn't good. Instead of the broccoli, she received broccolini which she couldn't cut...very stringy. It wasn't until we were 3/4 through dinner that our server came back to check on our dinners. My wife stated that she wasn't happy with the broccolini and that she could neither cut nor chew it. The waitress immediately suggested a steak knife rather than offering her something else! My wife declined the steak knife. The waitress, obviously too busy, walked away. Shortly, she returned and started clearing the table while I was still eating! Very rude! We asked her to come back after all of us had finished, not just two of us. (We were a party of four). When the bill was presented, the waitress asked if everyone was happy. My wife again stated that she wasn't at all happy with the broccolini. The waitress snapped back "I offered you a steak knife" and walked away. Oh yes, 4 shrimp, 1 scoop of potatoes and broccolini was charged as Pasta Semplice...$52.00. There wasn't a drop of pasta on her plate! read more

Was so excited to come back after our previous experiences a year prior. Everything was less fantastic this time around. We sat at the bar, service was ok. Food was quick. Bottle of wine which was a Willamette Pinot Noir- good flavor, decent price. Italian wedge salad- good, a bit too heavy on the dressing Lasagna- lukewarm in certain pieces, distribution of sauce and cheese was spotty. Flavor was decent. We'll try another restaurant when we visit again. read more

My favorite Italian restaurant in Vero changed formats a couple years ago so this was my first time visiting what has become the Family's go-to Italian spot. I had the carpaccio, a caesar salad and the orecchiette Barisi, it was unbelievable. Finished the meal with a wonderful tiramisu and cappuccino. The service was outstanding. There is nothing special about the feel, the ambiance of the place, acceptable, not great, but when the food and service is five-star, you don't need to be further tantalized by your surroundings. read more

Volume of noise from conversations around us was quite tolerable. Outside patio warm and cozy. Service very good. Needed to ask for a seat cushion which was missing on 2 out of 4 chairs. A glass of Red wine way too warm to drink; Florida room temperature is not good a good wine temp. they kindly took it back and the white was nicely chilled. Very nice selection of glasses of Italian wines. Grilled Cesar salad is very good. Beet salad just fine. Fish of the day (pompano) was very good. It the Pasta was amazing! The beggars purse pasta was so sweet and wonderful! Our table mates loved the lobster ravioli. Desserts were good too. We will go back. We have gone back. read more

Dario is fabulous Great food fine service from Johnny lobster shrimp delicious dish the caesar is good with anchovies yummy read more

I just want to give a huge shout out to Trattoria Dario. We got married this weekend and chose this venue to host our family dinner to celebrate with everyone. From start to finish, everything was so incredibly organized and stress free. Derek the manager I talked too originally to book the reservation for 25-30 was so helpful and kind. He personally messaged me menu's and worked with me on ordering. He even came and hugged us at the end of our dinner which was so personal. Deedee Maiorca and Joe were our servers... and I have to say, not only were they incredibly patient with allowing our party time to mix and mingle with each other, they were so organized with getting drinks out so promptly to everyone and not one person had an empty glass.... THE ENTIRE TIME. Their service is what you search for in vero and what we really needed to make the night even better. Now to the food. You would think that having a limited menu would mean the kitchen just pushes it out easily with no thought or love. THIS IS NOT THAT KIND OF PLACE. Every plate of food had so much love and passion cooked into it that we were floored every course. We had caprese salad and calamari for apps... phenomenal. The calamari was so perfectly cooked and the caprese was so fresh we had to go back for seconds. My 19 month old even had seconds lol. Now for the entrees. Not one steak was cooked wrong, the chicken piccatta *chefs kiss* but the star of the show.... the Salmon Crudo ... Good lord was that heaven on a plate. Everyone that ordered it was floored. I even stole a sample from my mom and instantly regretted not getting it. Everything was perfectly timed, beautifully presented and we just want to give the biggest of thanks to everyone person (Foh and boh) that took part into finishing out what has to be one of the most perfect weekends of our lives. Thank you Deedee, Joe, Derek and Dario. You all are masters of hospitality and will forever be our go to when it comes to celebrating with family. read more

Delicious, great options for inside or outside dining, bar or quiet room, TVs or private and reserved. The staff is just attentive enough, not overly heavy handed. The wine selection is deep and the cocktails varied. And the menu is not just the same old italian repeats, though the standards do appear read more

Yesterday was our first visit, we wanted to try their happy hour. We were greeted by a waiter who informed us they were full, then he turned around and walked away from us. Based on his rudeness it will be awhile before we decide to revisit. read more

We have had very good Italian here. Great service, drinks, location and food! We look forward to going back!

It is a hidden neighborhood gem. Friendly staff. Stellar bread and Italian favorites. Great wine list. Have been several times. You can't go wrong plus they do have an outdoor patio - across the street from the beach. I like places off the beaten track like this place. read more

There were 6 people in our party. There were mixed reviews. Some liked there meals and some not so much. Looking at the totality of the circumstances, including price, quality and service, this is not a strong recommendation. There are much better Italian Restaurants n Vero Beach. I won't be back but if you have 100+ dollars to spend on pasta, you may want to stop in. read more
