Welcome
New Venice MainStreet Partner,
Door Belle Dinners
|
|
Delicious, hot meals delivered
to your door in a pot!
|
|
Belle to bell, better dinners, delivered. Door Belle Dinners is a better solution to your nightly dinner decisions. Enjoy balanced, hand-crafted, ready-to-eat, dinners, with everything served in an actual dinner pot. We pride ourselves on hand-crafting your meals with love and we think our dinner pots are a better alternative to wasteful and flimsy, takeout containers. Moreover, the dinner pots keep your meals hot for over an hour.
Stumped on what to do for dinner tonight? Door Belle Dinners does dinner AND dishes too, offering items like Old Fashioned Pot Roast, Granny’s Chicken Pot Pie, Seafood Paella, and more, using local ingredients wherever possible.
Dinner pots are for 2ppl and family-sizes (4-5ppl) are also available. If you order pick-up, you kindly return your dinner pots to the same pick-up location within 3 days. If you order delivery, we deliver AND come retrieve your dinner pot the next day. Door Belle Dinners is currently delivering in the Venice, Florida area, but will announce other city openings very soon.
Schedule weekly dinners online / text or call ahead:
941-480-1606
Delivery is available in select zip codes, and pick-up is always available from the Door Belle Dinners kitchen at
113 Tampa Ave W, Venice, FL 34285

Venice Wins National
America in Bloom Award!

The 2020 America in Bloom National Awards Program named Venice as the winner of the Coolest Downtown Award and the Outstanding Achievement Award for Landscaped Areas. Awards presented reflect excellence in the areas of community vitality, floral displays, landscaped areas, urban forestry, environmental efforts, celebration of heritage, overall impression, and community involvement.
The colorful, botanical beauty of downtown Venice is thanks to the hard work of volunteers with Venice Area Beautification Inc.'s Keep Venice Beautiful (KVB) team in partnership with the City of Venice.

Troll Music Gets a New Owner, Billy Day
Troll Music is near to my heart and becoming the owner was a decision that just made sense to me. It’s not about it being a great business opportunity, because it’s a tough business to be in. It’s about the musical community here in Venice, and the family that has grown up around me in my time at Troll Music. It’s where my heart is. - Billy Day

|
A New Home for Troll
Troll Music is now the proud owner of the former A’s Rental building at 628 E Venice Ave. The new building is wide-open, with 4200 square feet of space. By way of comparison, the current Troll Music store is 1800 square feet and the lesson studio is 1200.
