Tiramisu in Bradenton just two weeks after receiving visa approval. Despite the challenges, they remain dedicated to replicating the gen- uine Italian dining experience. Luca noted, "We can be compared to what we have in Italy."
Two expansions have taken place over these ten years as their popularity has soared, and with good reason. Our visit was thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish (had to be the tiramisu for dessert!), with great service and a full house! While the decision to opt for a smaller kitchen, (after the expansions), led to the removal of some less-popular menu items, Tiramisu compensates by introducing a list of daily spe- cials. Luca highlighted, "That way, Monica can have more fun with meals and experiment to see what works."
With a smaller kitchen also comes more cozy dining space, currently accommodating 20 tables after this recent expansion. Despite any adjustments, Tiramisu Ristorante Italiano continues to be a go-to destination for those seeking an evening of delightful Italian cuisine. Open for dinner from 5-9:30 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday, the restaurant invites diners to experience the heartwarming flavors of Italy. For more information or reservations, contact (941) 753-2800 or visit www.tiramisubradenton.com. Reserve now for a special Christmas Eve Dinner and fun New Year’s Eve.
Reservations are available through OpenTable as well. Mangia bene.
