    Vino Bistro has an alluring, intimate ambience, delicious tapas, and a diverse list of wines from all over. They also provide some talented musicians to entertain you while you eat, but they are not booming loud, so you can still talk and hear at your table. Plenty of parking on the street.

    You are always made to feel like family at Vino Bistro. Dining leans towards light bites so don’t come expecting a huge meal. Do expect delicious wines, cheeses, pizzas and other bites in a friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Live music on weekends from a variety of talented artists. Free street parking, which is a rarity in Sarasota now.

    Luckily for us, Vino Bistro is a neighborhood gem. But it’s worth visiting even if you have to drive there! Grotten and Teresa are gracious hosts, the wine list is very comprehensive and the food is always delicious. There’s a relaxed and friendly vibe at VB that you don’t find at many places.

    Nice to eat small plates of different items. Wine list is extensive with lots of good choices by the glass - not a huge pour though! Live music at a noise level suitable for talking and eating. Overall a nice and different experience.

    The wine list was absolutely amazing. The hosts and waiters were wonderful. There was live music that was exceedingly loud in a very small space that we could not even hear each other speak.

    Overpriced for the small portions. Staff was great but not worth the cost. The seating felt cramped suggest sitting at the bar. Nothing to do with the restaurant but Sarasota public parking is a major rip off, $21.00 for two hours!!

    Food overrated, server nice but got the feeling the restaurant wanted to push certain items on the menu since there weren’t many peopl there. Unfortunately disappointed, way too pricey
