Best Casual Restaurants in Venice Gardens

We don’t go out to dinner often, but since discovering Tuscany Nokomis we have been there four times in 2025, bringing friends and family with us. We especially appreciate the early bird special menu which offers excellent choices at an affordable price. We have had the filet mignon, eggplant parm, chicken parm, beef burgundy, and veal Marsala, all excellent choices. Our friends and family have enjoyed their meals too. It has quickly become our favorite restaurant.

Went for Valentine's Day. We've been a couple of times before this and the food and service have been great. We both got pasta this time. Wife got the mushroom ragu and it was pheno,inal. I had the thai pasta and it was also very goo. We ended with the chocolate pecan pue which was excellent. Service from Alexa was 5 star.

Acqua Pazza is the Gem of the Wellen Park restaurant scene. All the staff are so friendly and accommodating. Place is beautiful inside. Even on Valentine’s night, the service and food was amazing. Manager Angela is the best. She makes you feel like family. She recently purchased a warm chocolate machine and has mastered the chocolate mix and can serve it in an espresso cup. It is amazing. We are hoping it is added to the menu soon as a dessert. It is rich and creamy and the perfect blend of dark and milk chocolate. I used to go to Brussels a lot and her presentation is better than the best in Brussels. The swordfish piccata, grilled octopus are amazing. The menu is very thought out and each dish is very special. Haley and all the bar crew are the best. Attentive, friendly, and just a pleasure to be with Restaurant is super clean and very modern. Bathrooms are beautiful with colorful tile walls. Yes, I highly recommend Acqua Pazza.

My husband and I love this restaurant. The food has been fantastic. The menu is not overwhelming and has a variety of wonderful dishes. The staff is fantastic as well as very knowledgeable about the dishes. They do offer special dishes not on the menu and the specials are tops.

Wine Club tasting was great. Pairings of food with wines were spot on. New owners are keeping the vibe that Rumours is known for.
