Victorio’s Oyster Bar & Grille

So me and my girlfriend wanted to try something new and after reading the reviews and myself loving oysters and wings had to try this place out. Johnathan working the bar went above and beyond. First they shuck the oysters in front of you. Great touch. The wings (I judge by the hot sauce & they had a great one) were perfect. The reason I’m writing this is what Johnathan did for my girlfriend. She got the fish tacos. She asked if they had salsa for the tacos and he said no but he within 3 minutes made a fresh salsa for her. She loved it. We are definitely coming back. This is my type of place and great for a chill time with great food and better service.

I wish we would have come here sooner. I had some fresh oysters and clam chowder and my husband had the blackened grouper sandwich with some incredible fries! We were both very pleased and are sure we will become regulars.

This is my 7 yr old grandson’s favorite place. He loves sitting at the bar eating raw oysters with his parents. I am not a lover of oysters so one time I had fried shrimp and the last 2 times I had the blackened fish sandwich. It has been wonderful every time. The bar get crowded but we survived. The staff is wonderful. Very friendly and charming. I will go one more time before I go home so grandson can get his «fix».

I’m a Snowbird here in Florida and thought we check out someplace new OOM G Victoria’s is fabulous Jonathan was able to meet all of our allergy requirements and come up with a fabulous meal Leslie is an excellent server and made sure that I didn’t make any mistakes we ordered A Marilyn style lump crab appetizer that was divine. We wanted to try a seafood sampler where you can choose which types of seafood with you want a duo or trio with you wanted blackened grilled or fried and it was fabulous absolutely fabulous. Came withall homemade marinara on the pasta and Chrisp vegetables and wonderful coleslaw but the best thing of all was the hush puppies! Everything is made to order and cooked perfectly. The season fries were absolutely crispy and great. The mahi sandwich we ordered was served on the wonderful Kaiser roll. We definitely recommend this highly and will be back during the month that we are down here!

I went to Victorio’s yesterday for my birthday dinner. i’ve been there in the past and had excellent meals, so I expected and hoped for the same on my birthday. Unfortunately I ordered the crab cake dinner and it was very disappointing. The two small crab cakes were shaped like little baseballs and when I cut them open there was very little crab meat to be found, the taste was bland, and the mostly bread crumb interior was a tad mushy. Also, they didn’t give me the cole slaw listed on the menu and the spaghetti side was nothing to brag about. For $ 21.98 I expected to be wowed. But I’ll give them another chance (not with crab cakes though) with a different entrée. See picture # 135 in photo list above.

I am officially a regular now. This hole in the wall is a gem. Great food and service

The service is outstanding! Eric behind the bar is knowledgeable and very attentive. They have a full menu that has amazing Italian dishes. The hush puppies are addicting. I actually called in for pick up for just an order of them. They are so light and good! Oysters were very good quality. I love this gem.

Been here a dozen times, I always order at least a dozen oysters, and there are dozens of things to say about this place. yes I went there, haha.
But for real. This place is pretty clean compared to oyster bars I’ve been to. The oysters are pretty fresh and tend to be plump as well. One of the shuckers named Pete is pretty cool, personable guy.
They also serve good pizza which my friends thoroughly enjoyed, but I’m here mostly for the shellfish!

Was visiting from out of town and wanted to check out this place because it had good reviews. Was greeted by a rude and angry owner. Apparently he had an employee call in minutes before his shift and decided to let his anger out on us. We only ordered the bucket of oysters, and decided that was all we were going to eat. One of my friends just refused to eat because he didn’t want to spend his money there. I’m sure the food is great and honestly wanted to try more things on the menu, but the rude service just took our appetite away.

Love this casual seafood Italian eatery. Portions are huge! Come here hungry and not dieting. Leslie was amazing and has fabulous customer service. We will absolutely be back next time we are in town.

Tonight my boyfriend and I came for dinner. I ordered a dozen oysters and he ordered 10 hot wings. Always great service! I love the Oysters, fresh and shucked right in front of you. The wings were big but not much flavor. Overall great dinner.

awesome! delicious! great service!
ask for leslie ann and have the linguini with clan sauce!

Can’t comment on their oysters or mussels as I don’t eat that and this place is known for its oyster bar. I tried their personal cheese pizza which was good. The staff were really friendly.

The oysters were amazing must have been like 5 or 6 doz in a bucket the wings were great also the service was good we all had desserts they were awsone made flfreash chocolate cake fresh pinapple chesse cake tusiami and canolis all were freash and great we will be back

In town from out of town & found this place on Unilocal.Wanted to find a great place with good seafood and hit the jackpot with Victorio’s. Had oysters from shucker John (great guy with a great personality!), fried & blackened alligator and a pound of peel & eat shrimp. All were awesome, but the oysters were definitely the star. Sit at the raw bar for a great experience!

I think there is a very good reason why Victorios has stayed in business for as long as they have.
My father who’s visiting from New England had a hankering for oysters and this is where he wanted to go because he had been there before And had liked the oysters here.
Their oyster bar in particular is clean, and the staff was friendly as well as knowledgeable. Pete, the guy who waited on us was wonderful and knew a lot about the product, said the oysters were flown in from Texas and that initially the taste of the salty brine was immediately followed by the sweetness of the oysters flesh and he was right on the money!
Some of the best oyster I’ve had, very impressed. We also ordered the fried calamari but I have to say that I was expecting the portion size to be more generous, same for the pizza but it was great and everything tasted very delicious, I’ll gladly come back.

Visited this weekend
Whoever made the pizza on this visit, it was really good. It was only 16 inches, but had a really good crust. Thick enough that the 16 inch limit didn’t matter much here. I don’t normally care much for places that only offer a sixteen inch but I was alright with it here.
We also got a cheese calzone, it was really good. Maybe a little sweet, but very good.
Now the service, 8 people at the bar and just our four top. The waitress was older, apathetic and not really a happy person. The service wasn’t really what we are used to. Seemed to be much more concerned with the bar and food prep I think.
The place was empty when we got there, the bar started having 12 guests when we left.
The food was really good here, no specials if you buy pizza and other items. The service needs to be updated.
cheese 16 inch pizza was $ 10.99
If the Saturday guy makes the pizza its really good. If someone else does in the past it was not this good.
Pizza reheats good next day.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while once they put Oyster bar in the name. So I decided to go with my girlfriend, who is the real oyster lover. We really went for the oysters so that is what I’m mostly rating on.
When we walked in they told us to sit wherever we wanted, so we did, then got up and went to the bar so we can get the bucket of oysters. It was a bucket of Oysters for around 27 dollars or so, can’t remember the exact price. They offered to steam the whole bucket or half the bucket but we went with them raw. They were fresh and delicious. We also decided to get a pizza just in case the oysters were not enough, needless to say we took half the pizza home. I am glad I tried the pizza though because it was good and very cheesy and tasted great the next day.
The shucker was nice and gave us a crash course on oysters. He was the only shucker at the «Oyster Bar» so he would shuck a few and go check on the other guest, come back do a few more and tend to any new or existing guest. We always had enough oysters shucked but it looked like he could have used a little help.
Overall the food was great fresh oysters with different hot sauces and fresh lemons to put on top but a little pricey compared to some other oyster bars that concentrate on oysters. Pizza was very good and the wings looked good but didn’t get to try them. Pitcher of beer was 11 bucks.

I was able to go to Victorio’s for lunch last week with some co-​workers. It my first visit and I was very impressed.
It was a clean restaurant and the staff was friendly and also efficient.
The menu had a good selection of items from which to choose. I went with a hot sub and my co-​workers with a lunch special. We were all very happy and satisfied with the food.
I’m lucky that its right down the road and I will definitely be heading back!

This is my new favorite Italian place on the East side of town! I have driven by Victorio’s so many times and didn’t even realize it. it is located in a little strip mall on Alafaya. It’s a little further down from the «main» restaurants, but should not be passed up.
We stopped in for lunch on a Monday, and were immediately seated by the nicest waitress in the world. This is your mom/​grandmother type. She was so bubbly, sweet and attentive. She recommend the Italian cold-​cut sandwich. This has to be one of the better Italian sandwiches i have had.
A few days later a friend inquired about the same restaurant, so there we were again. It’s very rare for me to go somewhere twice in one week. The entire table ordered the Calzones… they are ginormous and delicious. far more filling than Goodfella’s. We actually got to meet the owner this time. He is a great guy who takes pride in his business.
