Arte Caffe

If you have a party of six or more they will do family style were they just bring you courses. The food is incredible and the ambiance is small village European. The owner/chef even came out to greet us and talk about some of the dishes we just had the pleasure of consuming. They have wine and beer list but WELCOME you bringing anything you want without hassle or corkage fees. There is a review that says that it is too long and too expensive. Yes, this many courses in this environment takes a while - that is part of the beauty of this dining experience. Too expensive ?? You have to be comparing it to iHOP or something. The price for the amount and quality of food you receive is MORE than reasonable and if you are doing family style they even pack up (nicely) all the leftovers for you to take home, Can't wait to take some more friends here. A true gem on a small side street!

Absolutely adorable little spot within the Village of the Arts. The inside is very quaint but they do have outdoor seating as well. The food was very delicious, but be aware it does take a little bit to prepare so if you're in a hurry this might not be the place for you. My pizza (Bianca) was amazing and I REALLY wanted to try their homemade tomato sauce so I asked the (owner?) for a side of it, mentioning I would of course pay extra. There were dishes all over the menu that gave tomato sauce so I didn't think it would be a grand request to ask to try it. She promptly let me know that they do not serve sides of tomato sauce... Seemed a bit odd since it was our first time here but to let your patrons order some tomato sauce at an Italian restaurant but, such is life 😂 I also asked if I could keep a menu to read over and to look over desserts. She quickly took the menu from me and replied "no you can't keep the menu, I'll just tell you what I have". So I ended up ordering the profiteroles, which were pretty good. It says that they are covered in some hazelnut spread but it just tastes like chocolate pudding. But the profiterole itself is very good. I had to walk into the little room she was in, while she was on her laptop, and ask for refills a couple of times. So needless to say, I wasn't feeling very a very welcoming or warm energy here. Fortunately, the food was good enough to negate the subpar service. Would still come back but I would order it to go, I'm too old to have to put up with rude people while I eat 😆.

Every time i came here is a pleasure for my senses... Tonight we get "Pappardelle with Porcini Mushrooms and others wild Mushrooms", was excellent .. Pizza, never a mistake. Tortellini with Panna and Prosciutto! Special plate! Excellent Choice! Wonderful Pizza, real Italian taste... By far, the best Pizza in Town. I will back soon for the Pasta, but if the chef can make great Pizza like he does, I don't have any doubt about pasta.... Only If you love real Italian food taste, Arte Caffe it's the Place to go... Forget about American/Italian fake Menú with Fettuccini Alfredo, or spaghetti meatball... You can't find this here, simpli because this dishes are not Italian. Go there to test authentic food. Great Job...

We got lucky to get their only open table for the evening. I had never heard of this family owned restaurant until half an hour before we arrived there and so I wasn’t sure what to expect but was cautiously optimistic. When you sit to eat, it feels like you’re in your Aunts house; so lovely! Now, I’m writing this review well over two months later so I’m sorry but I can’t remember what was ordered or even the name of the lovely people running the place. However, I do remember that we were both quite happy with our meals and our decision to eat here. The food was absolutely delicious and we will definitely be coming back and telling all our friends about it!

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 ♥️

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!
