This is NOT a good restaurant. Good reviews are likely fraudulent: same fake 5-star reviews use same photos year after year. Food poor quality, some staff argumentative, we had to request Parmesan cheese to spice-up the bland food. Maitre D very nice, helped us get service. Parking limited and tight. If you have a truck, park off site.

First, most of these reviews are fake. You can find identical pictures on reviews that are months and years apart. Greek salad with iceberg lettuce, 4 cucumber slices, sliced olives, tablespoons of feta cheese and no dressing. I was given basaltic vinegar. Fettuccine with a bad spaghetti sauce served just barely warm. Had to go up to the counter to ask for parm cheese. If the owner were serious about wanting to give me a better experience then he or she should give me a reason to return! Offer a free meal to replace the crap I was served today!

We had 6 o'clock reservations. We were seated right away. That was the only good thing. We waited 15 minutes for a waiter. Then 20 more minutes for someone to take our order. The food was incredibly so-so. Check your bill, we got charged for 2 deserts , when we only had one.

The food was TERRIBLE. My husband had spaghetti and meatballs, the meat balls were balls of burger, no seasoning, bread crumbs and the sauce was gummy - but not as gummy as my gnocchi, it was like peanut butter I couldn’t get it off of the roof of my mouth. The waiter saw we didn’t eat our meals and never mentioned it, just gave us a $100 check.

Probably won't go back. Loud, small and crowded. Food was OK. Service could have been better.

We decided to skip the usual Taco Tuesday options, and downtown Bradenton is full of pizza places. Instead, we discovered this hidden gem and were so glad we did! The food, service, and atmosphere all exceeded our expectations. This spot is perfect for a mother-daughter outing, a drinks-and-dinner night with your best friend, or even a small, romantic dinner for two. We're excited to share this place with others and will definitely be back. Thank you for the excellent service and warm hospitality! Looking forward to our next visit.

An absolute gem! The pizzas were simply outstanding—perfectly baked, flavorful, and authentic. The atmosphere was warm, and the service impeccable. Highly recommended!
5 star, absolutely amazing and we can’t wait to go back

I’ve travelled thru Italy and this had all the ambiance of the charming places I visited there. An historic home, cozy and warm. The food was delicious, I had fettuccine bolognese with eggplant appetizer and everyone tried all the different desserts. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed the dinners and our desserts. Worth a visit. You won’t be disappointed.
