Arte Caffe is "all that and a bag of chips". The food is amazing, expertly prepared, from quality ingredients and is totally delicious. The service and atmosphere is sublime. They have an excellent small curated wine selection at a good price or a very reasonable corkage fee if you prefer to bring your own favorite selection. If you have a party of six or more go for the "family style"! It's an experience you will love and talk about for years! Arte Caffe has been our local "go to" restaurant for Italian done right, Remo's Genovese-Venetia roots come out beautfully in everything! read more

I've been coming to Arte Caffe for quite a few years and every time it is such a great experience. Everything is made with care, and all of the specials are truly amazing anytime I get them. Also pictured is my favorite tiramisu ever. Husband and wife Remo and Meredith are truly wonderful people and have created such a special dining experience in the village of the arts with the freshest & most delicious Italian food I've ever had. Love this place and couldn't say more positive things about it. read more

Can I give 10 stars?!?!?! We have been coming to this fantastic restaurant for many years, and it just gets better each time! My wife and I are both Italian NYers, and we like to think we know and appreciate Italian food and heritage from our families and upbringing. At Arte Caffe ... you feel like you are in your grandparents home. The food is outstanding, the owners are so kind and caring and you can tell they put 110% into their restaurant. It doesn't deserve to be called a restaurant, it should be called "home". The food is so delicious, homemade, tasty, created and served with care and love. Run, don't walk to Arte Caffe! read more

I hate to write this review because the food here is truly delicious. We hadn't been in a few years, but this used to be one of our go-to spots for a long time, and we referred many people here over the years. I also want to be clear, I am not writing this to harm the reputation of the restaurant. I am writing this so that people with food allergies can be safe. I hadn't been back in recent years due to a serious illness, which made this visit especially meaningful. This was my birthday dinner, with a party of seven, and it was something I was really looking forward to. I clearly communicated my mushroom allergy on the phone with Meredith, the owner, two separate times. I made it very clear: no mushrooms. I also said it again when we were seated. So imagine my surprise when a truffle pasta dish was served... by Meredith. I immediately pointed it out, and instead of addressing it appropriately, I was told the truffles were "only on top" and that I could just push them aside. I have a true allergy. That is not safe. I was then told there were two other options I could have eaten and that I shouldn't have expected the chef to stop cooking for other people to remake my dish. I had to explain that I should not even be around mushrooms. That is exactly why I was so thorough in communicating this ahead of time. What made it worse was that nothing was done to fix it. No offer to remake the dish, no safe alternative prepared, not even a personal portion of the one dish I had been looking forward to. Yes, my portion of the meal was comped, but that doesn't change the experience. This was my birthday dinner, and instead of feeling celebrated, I felt dismissed and unsafe. This could have been handled so easily. I just hope moving forward more care is taken when a guest shares a food allergy. It matters. read more

Wonderful, family owned business with great attention to preparing authentic Italian food that you won't find elsewhere.

Our favorite Italian restaurant. Small dining area but nice atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating available. You won't be disappointed. read more

The food is spectacular. Fresh and delicious. The service is great! The inside needs work. I don't feel that it is a good representation of how truly amazing the food and service are. It could be a very special place with some thought and care. Still absolutely worth the visit. read more

The most authentic Northern Italy (Friuli region) pepperoni pizza I have had in the US!!!! I only order pizza at this restaurant. My husband has loved everything he has ordered. From blue crab stuffed ravioli to lasagna. My parents came to town (they also lived in the part of Italy we did - we were all stationed there) and they loved everything. We love this little gem!! read more

Attentive service, cozy outdoor seating,and great food. Highly recommend fried oysters, smoked chicken & linguine, salmon, and harvest bowl w/ brisket. Make sure you leave room for one of their decadent desserts and cocktails...house old fashions. read more

We were a group of 8, and for 6 of us it was our first time eating here. We have walked through the art district before, and must have missed this gem. This is a house that has been transformed into a funky little restaurant, that is just adorable. I loved all the colors and the decorations. There are different rooms set up with tables and the kitchen is open for all to see. If you wish to bring your own bottle of wine, there is a $9 corkage fee. We weren't planning to drink much, so we just ordered a glass. The pour was not generous, so next time I would definitely bring my own bottle. Since we were a large group, we were served family style. The food never stopped coming out of the kitchen. The first was a caprese salad, along with 4 different kinds of meats. This is the only item that I forget to photo. 3 large plates for all of us was so much food, but everything was so good. Next were 3 different pizzas. Scrumptious! Thin crust, plenty of sauce and great cheese, along with toppings. A large bowl of salad was brought out next, which had lots of ingredients. Just when we thought we were done, out came 3 large bowls of different pastas. One was a short rib ravioli, which was delicious. The next was a spicy pasta with sausage and peppers. Amazing! Lastly was an "angel of light fluffy pasta" in a white pear cheese sauce. Every dish was unique, and all were delicious. The dessert plate put me over the edge! Tiramisu, cannoli's, cookies, scones and pound cake. Our group managed to consume just about everything. This was a great experience, from service to presentation, to quality and taste of food to price. To top it all off, they boxed up everything that we didn't eat so we can continue to enjoy this feast at home. read more

Owner and Chef Remo with his wife Meredith make this dining experience, one to remember. You can't go here expecting to get in and out as you are not rushed, and for good reason. This could be why they are booked weeks out. If you go with a group (as we did of six), It's a family style five course meal. They have a great wine selection or if you prefer, a minimal corking fee to bring your own. Everything we had was remarkable. Definitely one of our favorite local food establishments. Chin Chin! read more

What a lovely restaurant. This restaurant is seated by reservations only and is inside an old Florida home, don't be fooled by the neighborhood or the exterior of the house. The restaurant is run by a wife and husband team which makes this even a better experience. They only have beer and wine for the beverage, of course tea and water, no hard liquor. No matter what you choose the food is amazing. If you have a party of six or more you are fed family style and you get way too much food, it's like a four or five course dinner. I highly recommend this little hole in the city place for dinner. read more

Everything is homemade and so delicious!! There's love and passion in each dish!!! Love the lasagna, the beggars purses, gnocchi, lasagna!!!

A fairy tale cottage in the Arts district here in Bradenton. Easy street parking. A husband and wife team creating, baking, cooking, and serving great food. An incredible value. Like visiting a friend's home for dinner. Fresh baked bread (baked bread and other goods available for takeout) homemade sauces (we took home a 16oz container of bolognese - and it was terrific on our ravioli - and fresh ingredients abound. We were seated in a small dining room, all to ourselves, as outside was rained out. We brought our own wine, corkage $9, and had some of theirs as well. Prosciutto di parma on fresh mellon, agnolotti in a vodka sauce, and sausage and spinach ravioli is a light cream sauce all so delicious. On the short list for future visits!! read more

Excellent. All of the dishes are prepared with exceptional detail with high quality ingredients. Husband and wife own the establishment. The husband cooks and the wife does most of the serving. As far as ambiance, it's located in the art district where it fits nicely. However I think the restaurant could use a face lift which would hit all the marks. Highly recommend giving them a try! read more

The food was delicious and very fresh. The woman at the front was very helpful with deciding what we could order. We got there as soon as they opened and they were also helpful with parking, as space is limited. The atmosphere was quiet and cozy. read more

Arte Caffe' - Fettuccine Al Pesto - Pizza Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Eclectic little restaurant located in the art district of Bradenton. It looks like this Restaurant was once a small residential home that had been converted into a small sit down restaurant where you have a limited number of tables scattered about in several small rooms/porch area where various decorations/art adorn the building adding a cool vibe to the business. The great reviews in Yelp are what caught my eye while passing through the area and were enough to tempt me off of I-75 to head into downtown Bradenton to see this business for myself. In hindsight this was one of my better decisions during my trip as we found out for ourselves that all these five star reviews are well deserved. For our Lunch we ended up getting The Penne Tiziana Pasta (Tomato sauce, homemade Burrata, fresh basil), Villlage salad (mixed greens with romaine, arugula, fennel, orange, pine nuts, served with olive oil and orange balsamic) and a Mixed green salad which was included with the pasta dish. All the ingredients were very fresh and the pasta with its tomato sauce was so so good where I can honestly state I have not had a pasta dish this good in a very long time. It seemed like such a basic pasta dish where the flavor was over the top good. A very pleasant surprise. Overall I am a big fan of this restaurant and will be returning in the future the next time I pass through this area. If you are in the area looking for a place to eat than you should definately check this business out as you will not be disappointed. Combine it with a visit to the artistic district to make it an even more memorable event. A big five stars for a small restaurant with big time taste! read more

Atmosphere - Excellent. Located in the Art District, the experience is like dining at a friend's home! The restaurant is very small, but has a great old world, casual feel to it. There is a garden patio dining area in the front of the restaurant. As you enter the restaurant, there is seating for about 6 people on the enclosed front patio. Inside there is seating for about 16 and a separate dining area that can accommodate about 8. Service - Excellent. The restaurant is a family business and it shows. We were greeted warmly. We were a group of 8 and we never lacked for anything, even though the restaurant was completely full. Food - Excellent. We had the family style dinning service (which I believe is required for parties of 6 or more) and I highly recommend it! I absolutely loved everything that was presented, with the exception of the salad (which for my taste was a little too bitter). The homemade Buffalo Mozzarella on the caprese salad, that was included in the Antipasto "The Big Italian", was excellent. The cold cuts (shipped in from Italy) were excellent as well. Each of the three pizzas served (Margarita, Calabrese and Prosciutto do Parma) were amazing! The pasta? Wow! The short rib ravioli was amazing and the star for me! There two other pasta dishes also were excellent (unfortunately, I can't remember what they were called). Finally, the dessert selection was the topper for the evening. The cannoli, for me, was the best in an awesome selection of incredible desserts. My only true complaint is that the pour for a glass of wine was a little short of what I would expected of a family style restaurant experience. Overall Value - Excellent! Again, my advice would be to gather a small group of friends and do the Family Style service. The portions are plentiful and the food absolutely delicious. Full disclosure, my wife and I love Italian food. We have spent, over the years, nearly 60 days total traveling the Country and enjoying the food. This restaurant serves delicious, authentic Italian dishes. Given the quantity and quality of the food, the prices are very reasonable. read more

We were a party of six and everyone agreed that the food was delicious. The service was excellent with the numerous courses being served at a leisurely pace so we didn't feel rushed. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants! read more

This was a return visit! We liked it a couple of years ago while visiting Bradenton, so we wanted to check it out in 2021! We arrived for an early lunch, at opening time, and had speedy, efficient service. Arte Caffé offers character and a decor ranging from posters to vintage cars to sugar skulls and more - much to enjoy as food is being prepared. There was a game center with a gorgeous wooden chess board for customers to enjoy. A tasty salad was brought as starters to my husband (a side to all sandwiches)! And I enjoyed an organic white wine blend. Both were delicious! I ordered a 4-cheese pizza topped with arugula (amazing) and my husband had a pork tenderloin sandwich with provolone cheese and romaine lettuce. These dishes were so refreshing on a hot summer's day! We topped the meal off with a wonderful chocolate drizzled puff pastry. The chef has brought to Bradenton an authentic Italian cooking style that he learned from his mother, as he was raised in Italy. It was a perfect lunch! We could hear the phone ringing, often, for folks reserving spots for future dinner reservations! Word is out! Arte Caffé offers authentic Italian homestyle cooking! read more

This was such a great find! It's great, homemade food, great service, and a relaxing atmosphere. I love Italian restaurants making their own pastas! The dishes are so different. Every dish we've ordered has been delicious. They also have wood oven baked pizzas. I personally recommend the bucatini. This is our 3rd time, and we plan to keep coming. Make a reservation ahead of time. read more

Not the greatest if you have a small party. They like to cater to a large party. Not all options are available to a party of 2 that are on the menu. If you have someone that is gluten free please find somewhere else to dine. Not accommodating to them in any way, mostly rude about it. My daughter asked about the pasta and was treated very rude. Very disappointed in myself that we didn't leave. Sorry that she has a allergy to gluten. If they don't want to accommodate someone who has a gluten issue please don't advertise. read more

Please just go here- enough said. I recommend gathering 6 or more and choosing the family style option (call in advance). read more

The food has been good but the woman that answers the phone & serves should find a New professional. She openly complains about being over worked & it shows in her inhospitable attitude. I won't come back because of her; I'd rather walk to Fav's. read more

What a treat! Quaint, great service, and the food!! There was six of us so we had the family style - everything was delicious. None of us had been, but all will be going back! We had our own area on the porch, so we could actually have great conversation while enjoying all the courses as they came out - caprese salad and meats, pizza, salad, three different pastas and an assortment of desserts! The owners talked with us afterwards which made a perfect ending. Definitely recommend! read more

Great Italian food & service. Wonderful pasta made in house. Terrific homemade pizzas

My wife son and I came down here from Boston ma to visit my wife's family. Her father is a foodie and barely eats out at restaurants and raves about this place. We went on our second night in Bradenton. From start to finish the place is exceptional. Just alone the look of the restaurants makes you feel warm and at Home. It's a family run place where the husband runs the back of the restaurant and the wife runs the front. We got the family style Meal. It can literally feed an army. Course followed by course followed by course The food is exceptional. Must go and try. We will Be back on our next return. Thanks again . read more
