Restaurants in Bradenton Beach

“Had a great experience at SALT, the food, the service, and the atmosphere were phenomenal! We ordered the king crab, truffle fries, gnocchi + steak medallions, ribeye, kids linguine, and the pina colada cheesecake- everything was so, so good!!!! We basically ordered everything our waitress recommended to us, and there was zero disappointment! Also- whoever makes the espresso martinis (I love you) amazing! 10/10”

“We rented this for a bachelorette sunset cruise! It was a great way to sight see and drink on the water. The captains were friendly and knowledgeable! It is a fun activity for larger party (as a lot of the boats around only had a 6 person max option) !”

“Absolutely one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. This small, family-owned restaurant won my heart within seconds of walking through the door. My friends and I were visiting from out of town and happened to stumble upon this place while looking for somewhere to eat. We didn’t even realize until after being seated that we had arrived only about 30 minutes before closing. Not once did they make us feel rushed or like an inconvenience — quite the opposite. Pane e Amore is a truly authentic, family-owned Italian restaurant. The menu is simple yet unique, and every single thing we tried — from drinks to dessert — was incredible. We enjoyed the red blend wine, beer, and the pasta of the day: an Italian sausage spaghetti in a white sauce, made completely from scratch, right down to the noodles. It tasted like real Italian food and genuinely made us feel as though we were sitting in the heart of Italy. While our entrées were being prepared, we were served bruschetta that was crisp, light, and perfectly cooked — not overly hard like it often is elsewhere. We finished with a dessert that was equally light and delicious. The service was unmatched. Every interaction was genuine, heartfelt, and full of care. We were treated like family, and in the short time we were there, it felt like visiting relatives in Italy for the holidays. Five stars simply isn’t enough — this place deserves a ten. We will for sure be back.”

“We saw this was very close to where we’re staying when checking out the area before our trip and looked forward to giving it a try - it did not disappoint in any way! The food was fresh and delicious and the owner and staff were friendly. It’s not a huge menu which we appreciated as they focus on what they do great. Good beer selection and great vibe.”

“An amazing experience and the food is always delicious!! We went 2 days in a row. The staff is so friendly and we loved talking with Brian the waiter!! Beautiful ambiance ❤️. Our next visit to Anna Maria Island we will definitely be visiting Bamboo Island Bar!!”

“Great service from Holly last night! We were recommended to come into Sharky’s and we were very very satisfied. The prime rib was amazing and I loved their creamy seafood soup. Holly was so attentive, refreshing, and funny. We are definitely coming back! 5 Stars ⭐️ check it out folks.”

“Food was good. Server behind the bar was rude, not welcoming and seemed agravated. We ate outside and left quick. It wasnt that busy and we got a seemed put out of her way vibe. Tacos were tasty and fresh, salsa and quac. excellent.Outdoor seating was the norm, nothing real fansy. Could have used a little bit of decorating. The price was high for apps.”

“Fantastic service, very clean and great food!”

“Great place for drinks, come by boat all the time.”

“Back Alley is my favorite shop at my favorite beach. Its usually an every day stop while we're staying on the island. The coffee is always fantastic and I find the best souvenirs there. I especially love drinking coffee from my Back Alley Insulated cup at home because it reminds me of my happy place when I cant be there. Today was a fantastic day because I got to visit Back Alley! It was our first time in since all the storm damage and the place looks even more beautiful than it did before!”

“Gelato-go on Anna Maria Island is a sweet little slice of Italy right in paradise. Nestled conveniently on Bridge Street, this charming gelateria offers a refreshing escape from the Florida heat with authentic, handcrafted gelato.”

“Stopped in here after buying gelato next door and wish we had just come here. Customer service was great, thank you Jonathan. So many treats to choose from. A great selection of old fashioned candies, craft sodas, fudge, chocolates and more. We are locals but we were happy to play tourist and find this place. We will be back.”

“The food was delicious with very generous portions. The daiquiri’s were so good! The service was great and the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend this place!”

“Cal is awesome!! Love her ❤️ Will you ever have ahi tuna on the menu again?”
