I live in the area and often pass the restaurant. I was drawn to the architecture and design of the restaurant itself and knew that I wanted to give Taverna Toscana a try. I am so glad I did, the interior is even more lovely than the outside. The restaurants thoughtful design allows natural light to enter the space making for a lovely lunch date. The food was excellent, the seafood was fresh and Lauren our server was attentive and made great suggestions. The mid work day mocktail was wonderful as well. Can't wait to come back another time for dinner.

My husband and I just had probably one of the BEST dining experiences since we moved to Bradenton from Denver 4 years ago. The food, the service, ambiance matches and even exceeds many "fine dining" restaurants located in big/Metropolitan cities. Our server Jacki was superb and it's obvious the entire staff is well trained in delivering a wonderful dining experience. Cannot wait to come back with friends and family.

We had an incredible experience at Taverna Toscana a few weeks ago. The restaurant is stunning. The decor makes it feel upscale yet warm and inviting. Our server was so friendly and helpful throughout our meal. We tried several dishes and all were so good. I could name every dish we had and would say that each and every one was fantastic - the bone marrow, large meatball, strip steak, wedge salad and more. HIGHLY recommend trying here if you haven’t already. Seriously a gem.

10/10 recommend. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing. The service was incredible and our server Mark was 100/10 awesome. He pretty much picked our whole meal and drinks with his recommendations and didn’t steer us wrong. Now currently watching Top Chef to see Chef Fabio Viviani in action.

It was our first time eating at Taverna Toscana and we absolutely loved it. Our server Carlee K was so patient with us as she explained the menu. She was so sweet and kind. I would definitely have her as my server again. She was a ray of sunshine and the reason our night out went so great. 10\10 I’d eat there again. The atmosphere was gorgeous and the food was amazing.

Phenomenal food and service! Taylor was our server, and she was wonderful. The meatball that beat bobby flay was outstanding. Everything is delicious, and if you want a 5-star service request, Taylor, she's magnificent. I love Taverna Toscana and can't wait to return.

Everything about this evening was lovely and we can’t wait to go back! I haven’t been to a place where everything was delicious, and the server was super friendly and helpful! She took our photo, suggested food and drinks and was just a delight. I did not take photos of the drinks or main course, mainly because I was enjoying everything. We will be return customers!

At first they lost our RSV but the manager found it. The food was amazing. The waitress Karle was very kind and informative. I felt good here. I had a glass of wine and it was good as well. Hubby had chicken wings and I had pasta. Cooked very good.
