Lovely place, you can eat outside and more importantly for me you can eat glutenfree. I am celiac and I had no problems what so ever. Thank you! Very much appreciated.
Food and service were both AMAZING! So glad our AirBnB host suggested we try this restaurant! 2 in our group are gluten free and found wonderful options to enjoy. The house dressing is great! We had grouper, scallops, shrimp and steak - nothing could have been better!
The gentleman who waited on us was excellent. Coffee was brewed as I watched and the Americanos were amazing. The gluten free coffee cake was to die for. Definitely making this a weekly treat!
This restaurant is good if you’re looking for somewhere with gluten free items marked on the menu. However, the service was not great. They brought my cousin out the wrong dish and then the waitress insisted that it was correct, they had simply run out of linguini. We asked her to take it to the back and then they finally agreed to make the correct dish. We were not impressed by the food flavors.
Wow!!!! Quite literally, the best food in Florida that we have yet to find. The menu items are creative and the combinations, like pears honey and blue cheese, are not something I’d think of but the whole is greater than the sum of its delicious parts. There are a number of gluten free items on the menu, they have gluten free carrot cake, and they have gluten free bread. So the items with ciabatta can be made gluten free.
Do you know how hard it is to find a really good gazpacho? It’s hard. Sure, you may say, it’s only cold tomato soup. And I think a lot of restaurants treat it that way. But you have to have the proper spices and background flavors like cucumber. Their gazpacho is the best I’ve had outside of my own. Buyer beware: it’s a bit spicy hot. If that’s not your thing, steer clear.
We were delighted that we found Vino Loco. 6 stars out of 5.
We came early evening in the summer and it was not very busy. Englewood seems like a sleepy old Florida town. I kind of hope you don’t read this. Then the next time we come, Vino Loco will give us a relaxed chill dining experience.
For their sake, I hope you read this and go there. You-and they- deserve your patronage.
P.S. and the gluten free carrot cake? Stop. Please. Just stop. It’s not allowed to be this good. I’m calling the authorities. Kidding. But do you know how hard it is to find good carrot cake on a restaurant? Again, most places look at it like Sara Lee with carrots. Just too much damn sugar. This one is perfectly balanced. Again, a true gem. Great carrot cake. Gluten free folk, trust me when I say this: if you long to try carrot cake but have been unable to try it: indulge. This is what carrot cake tastes like. It’s a great carrot cake, hands down.
PPS dinner was 37 each including one drink for me. We are stuffed. Not bad at all
Love this place! Everyone here makes you feel so welcomed. The owner is always going around to talk to his customers. Manager, Chelsea is fantastic, also going around to talk to customers. Food is fantastic! Had someone in our party who was gluten free, the server was very knowledgeable about the items that they could make gluten free. Even their mashed potatoes and gravy are gluten free! The tiki has an amazing atmosphere, very laid back vibe. Live music everyday. This is for sure a hidden gem! 10/10.
Food was excellent! Our server Katie was very friendly. My husband is gluten free ordered the Greek wrap gluten free and they were all out of gluten free bread Katie suggested to make the wrap into tacos using corn tortillas and he loved it! Very accommodating we will be back
