Great Food

Great food, incredible people. Love the chef and his wife. The food is really good. Fresh made pastas, house made desserts and wine. If you want to relax and have a leisurely meal with good company this is your place.

There are no words for the absolutely fantastic meal Thursday night. Dont ever complain about waiting for excellent food. If you want quick go someplace else. Best meal since leaving NY. Not one complaint

One of the best meals I've ever had! The course of pizza I had was amazing! All of the traditional pasta dishes were great. Even the antipasto was great. Highly recommend! Definitely need reservations though. Very small place.

Some of the highest quality food in the area
a month ago
A gem of a place in Village of the Arts! I have eaten here at Arte Cafe many times since they opened and highly recommend them. From impressing VIP's visiting the area to family pizza in between trick-or-treating at the Village's annual event, the team at Arte consistently delivers some of the highest quality food in the 941 area.
The owners are a joy to work with and we have celebrated many important milestones here, from major events for my organization to small, personal moments like a going-away dinner for family we won't see again for a long time. Each time, the experience is exactly right - the food is delicious, the pace of service not too fast, not too slow, and the ambiance of Arte is conducive to important conversations.
Thank you Remo, Meredith, Gaby + Team for always turning important meals into next-level experiences

Finest quality

This is a "can't miss" spot if you're near downtown. The food is the finest quality and so delicious. The service was fast and friendly and can't beat the ambiance for a relaxing meal. Parking was no problem and there was a nice outdoor area for coffee after the meal.

One of the best Italian restaurants have ever been to. We had 5 of us each with a different dish, they were all amazing! The Village of The Arts is an awesome place to stroll through before or after dinner!

Quaint little place, located in The Vilage of the arts, with One of the best atmospheres and absolutely wonderful food. I highly recommend this place and will be back. They we're out of the tiramisu, but the cannoli was a good substitute.

Delightful experience

A surprise find ... Just walked in to discover a delightful lunch experience. Flavorful salad, really! Exquisite homemade ravioli stuffed with spinach & ricotta in a vodka sauce garnished with hand grated parmesan reggiano, delicate and satisfying. A real treasure well deserving of another visit.

Excellent

We just ate here for the first time. Excellent! We both had the special which was a 3 cheese ravioli with a pink sauce. It came with a salad and we ordered a basket of bread which was 4 slices with really good olive oil for dipping. My husband had a oatmeal cookie with coconut, chocolate chips and walnuts. I had a cranberry scone. Both were wonderful. We will be back!

Amazing little spot with big flavorful food. Everything is genuine and authentically grown by the chef or imported directly from Italy and the heart they put in their food is outstanding. Nice sized portions and absolutely delicious.

Quaint little spot with indoor and outdoor seating, ambiance, personal touch. Undeniably authentic Italian cousine, fresh hand made pasta, sauces, dishes made to order a 'must do' for you and friends and family. Owner operated, classic! DELICIOUS!

Popped in for a cappuccino, but instead left after a wonderful meal of three cheese ravioli with the lightest, freshest tomatoes sauce and a tasty cannolli. The husband and wife owners were a delight. We will definitely be back with a bottle of wine for dinner.

Just like Italy
2 years ago
Just like Italy! I was in Rome for a few months and loved the food -- so was delighted to find this authentic Italian caffe at home. It's not the over-oiled, over-cheesed, over-spiced "Americanized Italian" food. Simply delicious and all prepared onsite. It's not a big place, so plan ahead to wait in the courtyard (and bring your own alcohol).

A lovely place for lunch or coffee. Be ready to learn something about Italian soccer as well as having a great meal. Prosciutto pizza is perfect!

Fantastic little gem in the Village of the Arts. Stopped in for lunch on our first day in town on a business trip for a great sandwich, and had to go back again on the last day to try out their pizza. Owners are very friendly, and the food authentic. Will definitely go back if I'm in Bradenton again.
