It was so refreshing to chat with the owner. His personality is joyous and the food delicious. I used to go to Greece for three monthes every year for 12 years and this little place brought my heart back to this beautiful country and the passion for food, drink and ease. more

I found the Lazy Greek Cafe on TripAdvisor and saw all good reviews but one. It was hard to find, tucked away in Brickyard Plaza, but once you get there, the food and service was well worth it. Coming from a Lebanesse family, and having recently been to Greece, we were tough critics and the food did not disappoint. The... more

Each time we visit my parents in Venice we ALWAYS stop at the Lazy Greek Cafe. The food is awesome and the atmosphere is very friendly. I only wish we lived closer:). more

You can enjoy lively discussions with Dino the convivial owner... more

We totally enjoyed eating at Lazy Greek Cafe. My husband and I love Greek food. We have visited Greece and also used to live near Tarpon Springs (Greek community north of Clearwater, FL that had great Greek restaurants) for many years, so we think we know good Greek food. When we moved to Sarasota county, we were unable to find... more

Jan 15 2009 After reading the rave reviews in Trip Advisor regarding the #1 Restaruant in Venice Florida we went to the Lazy Greek Cafe for lunch. We were extremely disappointed. The menu seemed interesting and appealing as we are very familiar with Authentic Greek Fare. We ordered the Mousaka at $ 7.49, the Classic Gyros at 6.99, a Greek... more
