Restaurants near Little Piece of Heaven

Restaurant is beautiful. Oysters Rockefeller were the best I’ve ever tasted. Carpaccio was also outstanding. Fillet steak and scallops were also extremely delicious. Deserts did not let us down. It was a beautiful evening and we were happy we went.

Dinner was good. Server was friendly at first but became a little rude towards the end.

Everything was remarkable. Our waitress was very attentive and nice.

Traverna Toscana Finally, an upscale restaurant bringing a touch of class to downtown Bradenton! My wife and I decided to venture out last Friday night to try the newly opened Traverna Toscana, and it did not disappoint. The executive chef’s carefully curated menu was impressive, with the octopus standing out as our favorite dish of the evening. My wife, who rarely tries such cuisine, was pleasantly astonished by how delicious it was. The complementary lemon butter sauce? Simply unbelievable—so good! There are several other enticing items on the menu that have us eager to return. The main course was equally well-prepared and enjoyable. I opted for the 33-day-aged ribeye, which featured the perfect balance of a beautifully seared crust and a juicy, flavorful center. Cooked to perfection, it was a highlight of the night. To accompany our meal, we chose the 2021 Jayson Pahlmeyer Napa red. While the wine was delicious, it felt slightly overpriced—perhaps the Caymus would have been a better value. We ended the night with a lemon cheesecake, and all I can say is: WOW! If you’re looking for a wonderful dining experience in Bradenton, I highly recommend trying Traverna Toscana. This gem is sure to impress!

We had a group of 20 high school soccer players. Perfect venue on the beach with activities and fire pits. Waitress would bring pitchers of lemonade and leave on tables for each. Good selection of meals, fast kitchen. Great service and easy to work with.
