    What an incredible dinner! We ate here on a recommendation from a friend- it's a nondescript store front in a strip mall and the parking can be scarce so know this- However, it is well worth it! A small, family run Italian restaurant- small inside but a huge presence! The service is wonderful- friendly, chanting and mostly Italian born family members of the owner. The food is great and the menu is small - everything we had was great! Fresh made pasta and authentic combinations of vegetables, sea food etc. The best part is the atmosphere! The entire staff breaks out in song repeatedly through the meal! Make reservations as they have limited hours and tables. A new favorite in the Sarasota area!!

    Homemade orecchiette one with eggplant, olives tomatoes and capers and one with sausage, broccoli rabe and anchovies both excellent

    Fun tiny Sarasota Italian with Puglia roots specializing in homemade pastas from the region and nightly specials, a nice wine list and very personable friendly service the entire evening was fun , the artichoke appetizer super and our homemade pasta entrees were very tasty and plentiful excellent home made focaccia added to our enjoyable evening

    It was our first visit to Vino Vino, a hidden gem in a strip mall along Siesta Dr. For me it was literally hidden, I remember seeing it before but didn't realize it was even a restaurant. My wife sleuthed it out and suggested we go. Checking out the menu beforehand I learned it was a small regional Italian restaurant. Reviews talk about it being a locally owned place. Supporting local businesses enriches us all. Chef/owner Ciro and his best friend Svet were very much a part of an enjoyable evening. Dean Martin was also there in spirit and there was singing. Whatever I had decided from looking at the menu was replaced by a couple of specials that my wife and I shared. The meal started with Focaccia bread, soft and airy with a garbanzo bean spread. For first course we had a pasta special, Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi, delicious with a pink sauce. There was citrus and mint involved, my wife noticed, I'm not as refined. We also ordered a side of spaghetti so we could sample that and we both really liked it. For our second course we had their Veal Braciole Special. This too was an excellent choice. Ciro explained the time and many steps to prepare this dish. It is a rolled veal with a sauce/gravy, situated atop mashed potatoes. This was a hardy entrée and we brought some home. We finished the meal with the Italian classic, Tiramisu. It was even better than it looked, and it was beautiful. Make a reservation. We decided to go to Vino Vino and made a reservation the day before. Although the restaurant was not full for our visit, we learned some days it is and as we approach the season, most if not all days will be booked in advance.

    Stop what you are doing and head straight there! It was the most amazing culinary experience. It wasn't just wonderful food. It was a wonderful experience. From the lovely wine to the fantastic fresh pasta. It was the best! We can't wait to go back. The gentlemen who run Vino Vino shook our hands and walked us out. It's a must must! Ciao!

    So many wines...

    If you're looking for "real" Italian food, this is the place! Walking into this Small and intimate place, we were met with smiling and generous hosts- the owners and chefs themselves! Explaining where the food is from, how it's made, and the history behind the menu helped to make the night. They have amazing wines, and they make their own pasta daily- plus they import ItlIan olive oil, balsamic and ingredients to make their pasta from scratch every day. The atmosphere made us all feel comfortable, like sitting at our own table. All our food was very well prepared, and the taste was even better than the smell. They give you time- time to enjoy the wine, time to enjoy the appetizers, time to enjoy your friends before your main course arrives. This is just the kind of place I didn't know I was looking for. I look forward to another night out at Vino Vino.

    The most delicious focaccia bread! Chef's kiss!

Outdoor seating offers both al fresco à la humidity or under a lovely lanai with fans. The meals generally include mixed vegetables and roasted potatoes; however the menu doesn't say that nor did our server. Only the all pasta dishes come with pasta. There is no side of pasta offered either. This was disappointing because we were in the mood for pasta. After overcoming this, the dishes we chose were all delicious. Our guest said the sole of fish and sauce was great. The branzino at $49 we were told was boney but tasty. The lobster raviolis were cooked perfectly and topped with 2 pieces of grilled shrimp. The chicken scaloppini was tender and the white wine sauce was light and smooth. Overall the meal was good. Our server was distracted and sloppy. Considering it was not at all busy and there was sufficient staff, our server looked overwhelmed. Water glasses were left unfilled and drinks were spilled when served. We had to ask for extra napkins to clean the stem of our glasses. Glad we tried it, but with so many Italian options in this area, I think we will leave this spot for the visitors.

I was so happy that they were open until midnight because I needed a reservation for after 10PM. They accommodated my reservation for 2 at 10:30PM and everything was great. Our server, Zach, was knowledgeable and attentive. He made sure we were taken care of and was on it. The portions here are very good. The bread is nice and crisp to start. The appetizer mussels were a LARGE portion, but luckily I didn't mind taking them home as leftovers. They were incredibly delicious and fresh. The tuna dish was tasty with a nice kick. The chef's social ravioli was really good, not something I'd typically order but it was worth it. The music here was a good volume and the vibes were nice. They had a really nice piano, would've loved to have someone playing on this night, that would've really set the standard here. Overall, a very nice restaurant. If I'm ever back in the area I'd certainly return.

    I can't believe I have lived in Sarasota as long as I have and only now found this gem of a…read morerestaurant. My wife and I had the most enchanting evening and simply can't wait to return. First impression, plenty of street parking directly in front and as we entered we noticed a truly beautiful outdoor patio, nicely landscaped, centered around a beautiful outdoor stone fireplace. When the weather cools we will look forward to enjoying that. As it was a bit warm outside we chose an indoor table. The interior is beautifully done with elaborately detailed tray ceilings, soft colors, soft lighting, a really lovely bar, and a quiet luxury throughout. We were greeted by the host Bob, who we later learned is a partner/owner, and we were seated immediately. Our waitress Holly was fun, engaging, attentive and eager to please without ever being overly present throughout the night. She set the tone by announcing that all wine was $10 off per bottle and all signature cocktails were $10 each. We were informed these values are expected to be offered at all times during low season (not just a happy hour). We found the wine and cocktail pricing to be extremely reasonable even without this extra offer. Holly also volunteered that the kitchen would happily split any appetizer onto two plates and we were also welcome to order just a half salad or half Caesar salad if only one of us wanted one. For the waitperson to offer this without even being asked, we felt the spirit of hospitality was off to a great start as it was obvious the restaurant is prioritizing customer happiness above all else. The menu, which you can review on their website, was full of enticements that had us vowing to return so that we could sample more and more offerings. We settled on a half house salad (excellent), a pasta fagioli (unforgettably good) one of their signature dishes, "Chicken Our Way", and Rigatoni Bolgnaise. The chicken dish was simply out of this world, very lightly breaded and beautifully glazed with a wonderful sauce. The table next to us, having driven up all the way from Northport, politely demanded to know what the dish was as the aroma graced their table. The Rigatoni Bolognaise was as fantastic as any dish we had while travelling through Italy; the bolognaise sauce was unquestionably made from scratch in-house and was as delicious and as authentic as it comes. As we were dining, a woman entered who had the essence of an owner; she went from staff member to staff member, and from table to table, checking on every employee and every customer to ask how things were going. When she stopped at our table, she introduced herself as Beverly, the host's partner. She stayed with us for quite some time showing a genuine and personal interest in us. We were not just a customer to her; we were clearly a new and valued acquaintance. This level of Mom-and-Pop personal service is very hard to find today in Sarasota--and it makes all the difference in the world. We can't wait to go back to see Bob, Beverly and Holly again as they truly made us feel like family. And we can't wait to try more of their enticing dishes. You simply MUST sample this restaurant and see for yourself. I fear though that if too many people discover it, the restaurant may grow and change. I hope that doesn't happen, because it is perfect right now, in this moment, exactly the way it is.

There were about 4 tables so plenty of room for more guests and the bar was empty. The sausage and peppers sandwich was flavorful per my husband. The sausages are not sliced but cut making the sandwich a complete mess. The bread is not made to hold the sausage. I had the chicken Marsala sandwich. Again had a huge issue with the bread being useless. The mozzarella was on the bread but none on the chicken. The Marsala sauce was bland and minimal. Would not get this again. The disco fries were not making me happy. Basically thin fries smothered in gravy. Where was the cheese? The gravy was also bland and we ended up tossing most of them out. The restaurant itself is nice with darker colors and clean. Prices on the regular menu are pricey and after trying their sauce I can see why it was empty. Personal peeve, Italian dish that doesn't include pasta as a side option when clearly they have pasta in the menu is wrong.
