THE best Italian meal, start to finish, I have had in as long as I can remember! The restaurant is cozy and the staff is great. The chef mingles with the diners. A refreshing and amazing experience. I had the Babbalucci con Carciofi, Veal Francese con Carciofi, and a wonderful blueberry bread pudding with white chocolate. Everything looked and smelled amazing. I found myself looking at the other dishes coming out and planning my next visit.

I believe this is the best restaurant in Bradenton. It is a small place that may not be well known. The food and service are amazing. There were 4 of us. We all had different things so we could share some variety. We had Veal, Pork, Chicken, and something that looks like Lasagna. All were some of the best I have ever tasted.

Our first time there. The chef/owner was warm & welcoming. It is obvious he loves what he does and the food shows it. This is not your run of the mill Italian restaurant with a hundred dishes that all taste alike. The menu is limited, in a good way, so the chef can do a few unique dishes and do them very well. The Menu changes each week on Tuesday, and it posted on their website.

Cool unique place with alternative mood friendly but not too much as well as selling authentic Sicilian olive oil, wine and chocolate. Food is amazing.

What a gem of a place! Delicious creative Sicilian menu, not your standard spaghetti-and-meatballs fare. We had a cheesy roasted onion, timbale, beef ribs, nice bottle of wine recommended by our server, and chocolate pate and semi-fredo cannoli. All fantastic! Chef has seen Big Night "thousands of times" and his use of ingredients and care mimics that chef. Lovely evening we will long remember! Grazie!

I didn't enjoy the food or the atmosphere. Many people seem to like it, but I'm not sure why.
This small place was an excellent surprise. Food was outstanding, staff very helpful and knowledgeable. We have moved here from Michigan and will be back soon.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Bradenton, it has fantastic food and the atmosphere is really fun. The owner is a Hands-On guy which means he checks in with everyone at their tables and he is the chef of the restaurant. I love the new items that he's put on the menu and he also has a talent for creating new flavors.
