Die besten authentischen Restaurants in Bayshore Gardens

Four of us dined and everyone really liked what they ordered. The arancini is awesome! Two of us had veal marcella, one person had Italian wedding soup, and one person had bolognese. Service was top notch as well. We can’t wait to go back!

Scarpino’s is our favorite Italian restaurant in Bradenton! The food is top notch. Our server Samantha is always great!

A pure joy to dine here on Christmas Eve. Family run with a sense of sharing their French traditions. Every plate served shows the attention of people who care. Festive, joyous and soulful. A wonderful experience that we’ve enjoyed for almost a decade.

As always, La Dolce Vita serves fresh, authentic and delicious Italian food. From the moment you walk through the door until the time you leave you will not be disappointed. Tina‘s limoncello is the best we have ever had.

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!
