Really loved the food and service. The chefs use quality ingredients. Again, with pizza, it's subjective to consumer, but we enjoyed the thin crust with perfectly cooked toppings. The french fries are the double (possibly triple) fried kind. And the salads are always fresh...absolutely love the dill ranch dressing.
The service has been outstanding. I can't remember our male server/bartender's name but he remembered us after the first visit and that's always the mark of an outstanding employee/server. Lamantini is on our list of "Regular restaurants to visit."
It’s good Italian American food. Not necessarily old world Italian as advertised and not quite worth the price but it’s hard to find good Italian mom and pop places here in Florida. Ambiance is cozy but they definitely need more wait staff. Worth checking out and they do a good job.
Delicious.
Amazing service. Very welcoming environment and staff. Steamy garlic knots straight from the oven while we waited for our entrees, very large portions well worth the price. We had a large group and had various dishes among the calzone, antipasto, pizza and more. Would visit again for sure
Stopped in here for some lunch while at the hospital. Sat at the bar and Kaitlyn was awesome. She was super nice and knowledgeable about the beer and also the menu. Good conversationalist. I took a pic of the mozz sticks because they were pretty good. We had slices of pizza for lunch. They weren't terrible. Weren't great. Wouldn't buy them again. No biggie. Maybe try the pastas. Thanks Kaitlyn!!!
I AM BLOWN AWAY!!! 😳 Tonight was our very first experience and it was BY FAR the ABSOLUTE BEST Italian food we have ever had in our lives!!! I will highly recommend this to everyone I know. I am a huge foodie and extremely picky. I like good food and I am always searching for amazing restaurants. We’ve lived here one year and I can absolutely without a shadow of a doubt say that this is the BEST kept secret of ALL of West Bradenton!! We will be back... often! Haha 😂 Keep up the good work friends! You’ll be seeing A LOT of The Rogers’ family!
Thanks again!

Food was excellent, starting with the garlic knots, served hot. Everyone loved their food. The portions were generous. I had the eggplant Parmesan without the cheese...it was delicious. The tomato sauce was one of the best I've had at a restaurant. Highly recommend. Owner was very nice.
We enjoyed everything there. Of course the beer, but the food we had was out of this world. And then on top of that the music they had was great. I knew all the songs. Felt very comfortable and at home for the first time being there. Thank you to our bartender. He handled his job great, does great work, is very polite, has a sense of humor, and looks good too!
This place is such a local gem. You would never know there is such a fantastic, authentic Italian restaurant hiding in this plaza. The food is always fresh, and you can tell it is always made from scratch. I have ordered several things off of the menu, and haven't had a miss yet. My favorite so far is the tortellini carbonara. The sauce is rich, and all the fresh vegetables give this dish a unique twist. I will definitely order again.
The staff is always so friendly, and they make an effort to know your name and be familiar with you as a customer. This place has a very local feel, and it really does seem as if you have been here before even if it is your first time stopping in. The service is as exceptional as it is personal and familiar.
This is also a place where you can go to catch live entertainment as well. The draft selection is good, and the bar seems as friendly as the restaurant.
Stumbled into this restaurant after a google search for local Italian food. I’m so glad we did! Food was great! Good menu, plenty of options without it being overwhelming. Everything was tasty, flavorful. We will definitely be coming back and David was great!
Excellent place to eat and the food is wonderful. It deserves five stars but my 5 star ratings are hard to earn.
