Meilleurs restaurants authentiques à Bradenton

This is one of our favorite places to go when we are in Sarasota. They have a friendly welcoming staff that makes you feel like family. For wine we love Fratelli Vogadori, Forlag, Amerone, and highly recommended it. It’s not earthy like some Amerones. Very good. We start with burrata and prosciutto appetizer and the insulate arucola salad. They offer a fresh bread that is hard to pass up. We had the lasagna alla bolognese that has a béchamel cream in its layers-yum! Pappardelle alla bolognese, and Pappardelle Funghi e Salsiccia. We don’t do the sea food due to a table allergy. The staff are always friendly and take great care to make sure you’re happy and having a great time. Sometimes they have a singer and that adds a layer of fun.

Service was great! Everyone was very welcoming and kind but the food was very memorable. The ambiance of the restaurant was so cozy and aesthetically pleasing. There is also a bar! They had daily specials and lunch specials. Complimentary garlic knots were so surprising and delicious. Their mozzarella wedges are a must have. Their pastas were huge portions, very filling and delicious. Their chicken soaks up the sauce of the food so well.Their food is made fresh in house so it was a little bit of a longer wait than I am used to but well worth.Will be back again!

Cute place, but can get loud. Gabriela, Owner/server is very nice guy who was very hospitable and efficient.

We were very skeptical about eating at Riva. We had friends eat there twice and said the service and food were horrible. We had another friend eat there less than a week ago and said it was fantastic so we decided to try it. The entire dining experience was excellent. Our water, Jose, spent a lot of time going over the menu which was appreciated. Our appetizer, the grilled octopus was excellent. Our entrees came out and were prepared perfectly. Dessert and the wine were both enjoyable. It was a wonderful evening ending with Dennis Quaid walking in as we were walking out!😀

Friendly, attentive and well versed wait staff. Great food and atmosphere. Good valet parking. A Bradenton gem.
