Will return for the ambience and home-cooked food: Farmer beef patty Veal
Yummy Italian wines: Chianti and
The restaurant is homey, discreet, and hidden. It was the chef’s home that he converted 18 years ago. The outdoor section isn't open.
A big, heavy wine glass that reminds me of the humorous photo depicting ‘one glass of wine a day’ when the glass is so much bigger than the drinker.
Weak ac: I’m sweating toward the end. Ok, I think I’m rejuvenated for a few minutes to have the hot flash ... ha ha ha. A small parking lot on site.

Great cozy place for delicious pastries, crepes, omlettes, quiches, and sandwiches. The service is outstanding as well! Also, don't miss their wine dinners!

The atmosphere is delightful, but the food we had was extremely ordinary. I could have made a better dinner myself. We both ordered the Timballo -- the dish made famous by the movie Big Night. It was a bunch of rigatoni, tasteless sauce, one small piece (and by that I mean 1/8 of a slice orprosciutto) and one tiny slice of meatmall --not even a half. Essentially, we paid for lousy rigatoni with tomato sauce, not the delightful dish we've had in other places. Will never return.

Situated in the Art District of Bradenton, this small intimate restaurant is big in flavor, presentation & service. We enjoyed having our anniversary dinner here after my wife tried it with friends. Chef/Owner Gaetano Cannata is personable and a great cook. They change their menu weekly. Very good wine selection. Highly recommend!

Chef Gaetano and Server Melissa were both friendly, hospitable, and knowledgeable. The food was amazing and authentic. Getting to hear the story of Monzu cuisine coupled with all of Chef's experiences in Sicily painted a beautiful picture on the dishes. The weekly changing menu is peak creativity and culinary expression. I am so glad I was able to try their food, and you should too!

The food was delicious and the chef’s attention to a food allergy was exceptional. The wait staff was attentive and the wine pours were generous. The little rooms allowed for a lovely home style setting. We look forward to enjoying another dinner in the future.

food was so good!! if you’re a fan of homey, hole-in-the-wall restaurants this is definitely the place for you. i got the pasta of the day and my boyfriend got the chicken parm it was amazing and the portions were great. we got the marscapone (berries and cream-like dessert) it was so good!! the cream was so rich and flavorful, the berries added a great texture to the whole dish. really impressed and the staff was so nice and welcoming! the owner was amazing as well. we will definitely be coming back if we’re in the area :)
