    This was our first visit and it was a pleasant surprise. That meatball is a taste treat!! Don’t miss that. The seafood cioppino was great. Our waitress, Jacki was outstanding: super attentive, bubbly personality and our service was very quick. We would recommend Taverna Toscana and will return!

    Menu seemed limited. Caesar Salad was bland. Signature meatbal wasn’t as good as Grove. Nothing exceptional for the price.

    Food was good and location is very nice but service was terrible and the person who brought our food had a really bad attitude. Lots of potential here for a great experience with improved service.

    This was easily the best food in the Bradenton area, the service was stellar and we cannot wait to come back. The meatball, French onion soup and Brussels sprouts were a table favorite but nothing was something we wouldn’t order again!
