Best Italian Cuisine in Bradenton

Denise Latini

We really Rocco’s willingness to allow the sommelier, Ben, host a wine tasting event for us! He was very prepared and organized with all the details and even made small thoughtful touches that made the event feel so special! He was so knowledgeable that I myself took pages of notes! He worked hard to find our wines ... and create a detailed overview of the wines as well as tower aspects of the art of his position. The charcuterie and bread boards were delicious, and even though we had to go with a rain plan, the backup venue was absolutely perfect for the event! I would host with him again and again and again! Thank you, Ben, for all of your efforts and passion! It truly shows in your work! Read More

This one took us by surprise! Googled Italian when we finally agreed to what we both wanted... so I've seen this place open up by my UPS where I do all my Amazon returns. The outside is very deceiving. You walk in and it is such a big beautiful restaurant! And the food, it were blown away. From the bread, to the meal, ... we were very happy with our experience. It was delicious and such a great experience. Our host Maddie was an exceptional server and made our experience that much more lovely. Will definitely be back again. The Italain Eggrolls were so good!! Read More

The atmosphere was phenomenal and the service was top notch, the chef came out to greet us and was very kind and respectful and the owner of the restaurant served our food and was so sweet and gentle! I love it all! The only thing I can say is that the food needed more seasoning. It tasted a bit bland and required me ... to add salt and pepper. I really enjoy this location. The drinks and Greek salad was amazing and I wish to come back and enjoy it more often. The food was presented phenomenally but definitely lacked a bit more of flavor. The mozzarella sticks needed more seasoning in the breading and less Parmesan cheese, I feel like the Parmesan cheese covered too much of the mozzarella sticks and made it a bit too overwhelming. Other than that I loved this location and the service and definitely hope to come back and try other things. Read More
