Lamantini Trattoria

Really loved the food and service. The chefs use quality ingredients. Again, with pizza, it's subjective to consumer, but we enjoyed the thin crust with perfectly cooked toppings. The french fries are the double (possibly triple) fried kind. And the salads are always fresh...absolutely love the dill ranch dressing.

The service has been outstanding. I can't remember our male server/bartender's name but he remembered us after the first visit and that's always the mark of an outstanding employee/server. Lamantini is on our list of "Regular restaurants to visit."

Delicious.
Amazing service. Very welcoming environment and staff. Steamy garlic knots straight from the oven while we waited for our entrees, very large portions well worth the price. We had a large group and had various dishes among the calzone, antipasto, pizza and more. Would visit again for sure

I AM BLOWN AWAY!!! 😳 Tonight was our very first experience and it was BY FAR the ABSOLUTE BEST Italian food we have ever had in our lives!!! I will highly recommend this to everyone I know. I am a huge foodie and extremely picky. I like good food and I am always searching for amazing restaurants. We’ve lived here one year and I can absolutely without a shadow of a doubt say that this is the BEST kept secret of ALL of West Bradenton!! We will be back... often! Haha 😂 Keep up the good work friends! You’ll be seeing A LOT of The Rogers’ family!

Thanks again!

We enjoyed everything there. Of course the beer, but the food we had was out of this world. And then on top of that the music they had was great. I knew all the songs. Felt very comfortable and at home for the first time being there. Thank you to our bartender. He handled his job great, does great work, is very polite, has a sense of humor, and looks good too!

This place is such a local gem. You would never know there is such a fantastic, authentic Italian restaurant hiding in this plaza. The food is always fresh, and you can tell it is always made from scratch. I have ordered several things off of the menu, and haven't had a miss yet. My favorite so far is the tortellini carbonara. The sauce is rich, and all the fresh vegetables give this dish a unique twist. I will definitely order again.

The staff is always so friendly, and they make an effort to know your name and be familiar with you as a customer. This place has a very local feel, and it really does seem as if you have been here before even if it is your first time stopping in. The service is as exceptional as it is personal and familiar.

This is also a place where you can go to catch live entertainment as well. The draft selection is good, and the bar seems as friendly as the restaurant.

Stumbled into this restaurant after a google search for local Italian food. I’m so glad we did! Food was great! Good menu, plenty of options without it being overwhelming. Everything was tasty, flavorful. We will definitely be coming back and David was great!

Food was excellent, starting with the garlic knots, served hot. Everyone loved their food. The portions were generous. I had the eggplant Parmesan without the cheese...it was delicious. The tomato sauce was one of the best I've had at a restaurant. Highly recommend. Owner was very nice.

Our first experience here was on Valentine's Day 2020. I wanted to do something different for my wife, rather than a corporate chain, and I'm glad I did.

As expected with a holiday, they were very busy. However, we were seated within 20 minutes. And then it was on!

We had their Garlic Knots (delicious) and Stuffed Mushrooms for an appetizer. I generally don't eat mushrooms, but these things were out of this world.

I had the Chicken Riggies, a special dish by the Chef from New York, and it was amazing. The portions are huge, and the pricing is extremely fair.

Absolutely wonderful evening. Found my new favorite Italian restaurant 😁 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Tried this place for the first time today (delivery ) and wow the food is out of this world! Best Italian food I’ve ever had. The portions were great and the flavor of the food was amazing! You can taste that the food is made fresh, with care and quality ingredients. Definitely will be back and recommend to everyone !

What a gem! The antipasto was a colorful adventure for the tastebuds. My husband says the lasagna was excellent, 'the best I've ever had' (in the U.S. and Italy). The Chicken Daniel was over the top. The secret is in the sauce, freshly made to order. Staff was friendly, making us feel we had stopped by a friend's home for a meal. Chef Dan 's culinary skills left us wishing we had room for more. We shall return!

Really had a good time last night at Lamantini. Staff was very accommodating with my group of 6 on a Friday night. The new owners came and introduced themselves at our table and they were very nice. We tried the specials, enjoyed the stuffed mushrooms and the Veal Romano, everything was delicious. We will be back and we are glad to see the improvements this place has made, as we love this location.

I don't normally write a review but the food here was out of this world! The chicken parmesan was so tender. The chicken riggies with just enough spice. The sauce was delicious. Helpings plentiful. The best Italian food I ever had! I will travel from Cape Coral because it was that good. Kudos to Daniel the chef!

Excellent job tonight!

Came with two other couples.

I had veal picatta (not on the menu!) And it was excellent! Very tender and flavorful.

The Mrs had egg plant Parmisian that she was excellent as well.

Great service and live music.

Recommend that you give them a try!

I work down the building from them and they always have my food ready in 10 minutes. It can get busy were i work so for a quick bite, Lamantini's is where to go! They have this awesome lady named Kaitlyn that works in the front and she shows great hospitality and awesome attitude. I always look forward to coming in if she is working! The food is always HOT and delicious every time I order.

We stopped on the evening of 1/11/21 for dinner. The place was a clean and inviting restaurant! The server was even better! He was attentive and prompt and very easy to engage with! The food was fabulous! Highly recommend! Thank you so much for a great dining experience!!!

Went to a lunch with a very large group. Despite the amount of guests, the service was fast and friendly. The food was spectacular. I ordered a cheeseburger. It was perfectly cooked and came with a delicious side of pasta salad. I highly recommend this establishment!

The restaurant is very cozy and beautifully decorated, the food was amazing! The service was great. The garlic bread was so tasteful, one of my favorites! I had the meatballs and they were huge and very nice!

By far one of the best restaurants in Bradenton. Even in this crazy flu times!

They are not wearing muzzles.

Compared to Enrich Bistro and other crazy muzzle wearing places this place offers awesome food for a good value. And even better - the service is great! And the music also!

Not the nicest atmosphere, but that's the same with many other strip mall places. A must visit!

Truly a hidden gem! Very nice and clean, happy and friendly staff. The pizza was obviously handmade and very, very tasty! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone that likes Italian food.

first time here and Katelyn (sorry if I spelled this wrong) was super friendly and engaging. explained the menu and local favorites. Had the arancini for an app and it was delic....sauce was good. We also ordered the chicken rigi and ate it all. Drinks were priced well. Good ambience....entertainment also provided. Overall....a place we will return to.
