If I could give this place a 10 star I would. I’m not Italian, but I’m very familiar with real Italian flavors and this place is a WOW! Food hugs your soul and immediately transports you straight to Italy ?? Meredith and her husband “the chef” are just amazing, welcoming and attentive. I really felt I was eating en la casa de la nona. Make sure you make a reservation as this is a very old home in the Bradenton art district area and space is limited. I can’t wait to go back with my family ♥️
Ventured out to the bradenton art district for some Italian fare. What a cute place! There is limited indoor and outdoor seating and reservations highly recommended..... Menu is limited.... we saw gnocchi on a review and were excited to try but it was a special the night it was posted so we dismt get to try it. They did have a sausage broccolini ravioli special that was really tasty....but, there were only 4 small ravioli on the plate. I did enjoy them. My husband ordered a pizza and while it was cooking, we laughed since we smelled something burning and instantly assumed it was the pizza. And....it arrived very crispy. It looked good though! The bread arrived with pats of butter.... very casual. We are used to hot fresh breads and either garlic butters or dipping oils.....not hard butter pats. We ordered canoli to go for late night....they were yummy.Prices were extremely reasonable. We were a little confused by the MTV tank top on the bartender/waitress.....a little under dressed for a cute cozy restaraunt.
Excellent. Authentic Italian. Pizza. Pasta homemade. My sister recommend this restaurant and I'm glad she did. I'd eat here every night.
Prepare to taste Italy. This is the closest you’ll get to grandma’s kitchen - so you better make a reservation! Parties of six or more can have a family style dinner just like mama makes: Generous portions and an amazing atmosphere, Meredith and Remo deliver an unforgettable experience and food to match. We love coming here and, if your dinner runs late, you may even meet Oliver! No review could do this place true justice, just check it out for yourself!
Awesome authentic Italian food! Freshly made multi-courses served family style for our group of 8. Beautiful dinner experience.
Quaint little place serving authentic Italian fare, outstanding quality. We felt very catered to and planned for. Great place for if you are looking for something that feels homey, simple, and delicious.Reservations required for dinner!
Great food, great atmosphere. Loved the music and decor. We were seated right away. BUT, worst service ever. The waitress was very rude and refused to take our order because she said there were three tables ahead of us. We waited an hour just to get salads. That is not how you run a restaurant. We will not be going back.
If I could give Arte Caffe more than 5 stars I would. This place is phenomenal and there is nothing else like it in the area. My friends and I went there with our spouses last night for dinner and ate family style. Literally everything we ate was absolutely delicious and the service was outstanding. I am Italian from Chicago so I think I’m a pretty good purveyor of food. Even the cappuccino I had with dessert was the best I’ve had since visiting Italy. It was definitely more than a dinner. It was an experience. I can’t recommend enough.

As always, amazing food ambiance and just love the homely atmosphere. A cute little Italian place one must checkout and enjoy the experience. Call ahead and make sure to reserve a table.
