This cafe is still here in the Village of the Arts after 9 years. Very,very unique with great food and coffee(very smooth espresso). The owner is from Italy and he uses very high quality ingredients. Menu is quite extensive. There are bakery items, market products, pizza, salads, as well as, 10 different pasta dishes. Very funky and eclectic establishment. Some of the owners collection of sports memorabilia and some toys are displayed. Highly recommended.

This is a quaint Italian restaurant and bakery located in the Village of the Arts neighborhood. The food was absolutely amazing! I have no pictures to upload because I wasted no time stuffing my face. I ordered one of the specials that had Italian sausage, Broccoli Rabe, and Fusilli Pasta. The atmosphere is very welcoming and felt like a classic Italian home. Of course, I have to go back and try the bakery. I recommend calling ahead for a reservation if you're planning a date or something.

This was my 2nd time dining at Arte Caffe and my wife’s first time. We went with two other couples and had the family style dinner. As was the case the first time I was there, all in our group couple stop raving about our dinner experience. Remo prepared delicious pizza and pasta and Meredith delivered the deliciousness (including her amazing desserts). Both took the time to visit with us after dinner after other diners had left. They are both wonderful people and truly care about their customers experience at their restaurant. If you are looking for a quick bite to eat, this might not be the place for you as everything is freshly made. But, if you are looking for a unique dining experience with amazing menu items, this is the place to go. We will be back again and again.

Wonderful food, very delicious home cooking! Bradenton is very fortunate to have such hard working culinary folks here! Can’t say enough about how much we enjoy our dinners at Arte Cafe’

This is a very unusual restaurant that makes you feel as if you are in Italy. We were a group of 14. The food was served family style. The food quality was outstanding. Each course was like a presentation. The food description was explained perfectly and with a smile. There was no rush between courses. At the end of our meal , all leftovers were boxed and labeled to take home. Everything was so delicious that the chef received a standing ovation before left.

The chef is Italian and he makes everything from scratch with fresh organic ingredients. It’s the best pizza and salads I ever had in my life, and I’m not exaggerating. Truly a gem. Thank you!

I have lived in Bradenton since 2018 and I have never been here until tonight. I can’t believe I have missed out. The food was amazing. The service was amazing and I ran into people from my hometown that knew my family. I will be a regular here from now on and bring all my friends.. My Brother introduced me to this place because friends of his from Tampa introduced him to this place. Please don’t miss out. Actually, the food wasn’t just amazing. It was probably the best food that I’ve had in a long, long time. The people were raving about the pizza. I cannot wait to go back this weekend and get the pizza.

Love this very unique and very authentic Italian restaurant. It’s not the experience many American tourists/patrons have come to expect while dinning. The restaurant brings along an immersive feeling that’s created by an intimate atmosphere with an abundance of personal touches. And the food makes it all make sense.
