    Order the bread, you won’t be disappointed. You can also order protein that you see on other dishes.

    Our server Mark was outstanding. His attention to detail and interest in creating an experience is different. The food was pretty good and would go back to try some different dishes (we had the carne tutta pizza, bolognese, and ossobucco.) My favorite thing from the evening was the tiramisu.

    We have lived in the Bradenton area for a year. We’ve been trying out all the restaurants in the area. This is most assuredly the best dining experience that we have had. Everything we ordered was prepared to perfection. The only complaint we had which we did voice to our server was the choice of music. Much of it bordered on a very heavy pounding base sound that you would typically hear in a rap song. Other than leaving with a mild headache, it was a very pleasurable dining experience.

    Had a lovely anniversary dinner .. wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable.. wine list featured lots of Italian wines .. did not feel rushed . Great selection of starters , hard to choose .. decided on the grilled octopus .. tender and flavorful, with the potatoes it was enough for a meal . Had the short rib bolognese for entree.. tender chunks of meat , delicious sauce .. enjoyed leftovers the next day . Hubby had wedge salad and their signature meatball ( softball sized ).., very tasty ! Mac and cheese ok, would have liked a smaller shaped pasta .. peach cobbler a la mode to finish off.. will definitely be back

    I go there frequently, my husband always orders the butcher's cut, excellent meats and the roasted sea bass for me is the best.

    we were about 10 minutes late, but we didn't get seated for almost 40. And then we sat at our table for 22 minutes and nobody had even waited on us. Food was excellent waiter was great.

    We had probably one of THE BEST dinner experiences since moving to Florida 4 years ago, ftom Denver. Everything we tasted was superb, both in preparation, presentation and portion size. Our server Jacki did an outstanding job as well as all the other staff that helped out. Cannot wait to come back and taste everything on the menu.
