Pane e Amore Italian Cafe

What an amazing hidden gem!!! The food is authentic, homemade Italian, and it reminded me of the food I had in Rome and Milan. The owner is a sweet guy who will talk to you and recommend the best homemade lasagna I've ever had! It is absolutely worth the time to sit down and have an incredible meal at a locally owned little cafe! We will be back as soon as we can!!

We had an amazing time here! If I can give them more than 5 stars I would!! The authentic Italian dishes, the personal service, the atmosphere and the overall experience was fantastic and the owners Mauricio & Luciana are just the most beautiful souls you'll ever meet! I will definitely be bringing my family and friends here on my next trip to the area.

Truly a wonderful experience and loved everything that was served!

What an amazing restaurant! It’s tucked in the back of an open air building with a cozy, cafe atmosphere. We each got a sandwich and it was unbelievable! Fresh ingredients, delicious bread and fast service. The owner is SO nice and instantly makes you feel welcome. We plan on coming back to try his pasta dishes which rotate on a daily basis. He also offers beer, wine, coffee, tea and sodas. Oh, and fresh made desserts!!

Extraordinary Experience!!! Sorprendente! Best Italian food we’ve ever eaten. The owners are welcoming and genuine. Their kindness and passion for life show through the amazing food and atmosphere they’ve created at their quaint cafe. We had the lasagna, the bruschetta, and the antipasti platter. The tiramisu was out of this world! They definitely know how to provide the best hospitality! Thank you for an unforgettable evening! ❤

Pane e Amore is a hidden gem in Bradenton!  Maurizio and Luciana, the owners, are absolute delights – their warmth and hospitality truly shine through. The food is incredible, especially "The Boss" sandwich. It transported me right back to Rome with its authentic flavors! Don't miss this spot if you're craving a taste of Italy in Bradenton.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s a 5 star authentic Italian experience where the food from start to finish was amazing. The gentleman was super friendly and it was clear that he put a ton of effort into every dish he makes. Made it onto our very short list of must visit places for lunch or a more casual dinner that doesn’t cost a fortune (and with better food).

My family and I just had one of the most delightful lunches ever (and the best restaurant experience at Bradenton Beach so far) at this gem of an Italian deli. The owners are superb hosts, and their menu is expertly curated. All food, wine, and desserts were outstanding — fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. We will return there again and again whenever we are in town, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Great food! Better than I ate in Roma 🇮🇹 Impressive fresh and delicious pasta. The owners are amazing people. Best food in Anna Maria Island. We loved it!

Amazing authentic Italian food made fresh with love!! The Lasagna was out of this world and the ravioli was spectacular- a little different, but great! The Tiramisu was… simply sinful! 😮‍💨🤤

Incredible experience! 10/10. Wonderful owners, made us feel welcome and at home. The food was incredible, some of the best Italian we’ve ever had. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great authentic Italian experience on the island. Come here!!

Wow, can I get more stars! Incredible Italian food served by the owner (Maurico from Italy) and his wife. Amazing service great atmosphere and reasonable prices. Literally the best lasagne, Tiramisu I have ever had, made fresh when ordered! Small, and super high quality and service! Highly recommend!!!

A tiny Italian place with gigantic flavor and great service!!!! Maurizio and his wife Luciana are amazing people. You can feel the love in this place. The cappuccino is a meal in a cup. The chocolate crossaint was warm and delicious. Give this place a chance to grow since it just recently opened. This is a gem in Bradenton Beach and come Spring time... it will shine!!!

Once again, Pan E Amore delivers a Homerun dish!!!

We had an amazing dining experience here! The owner was very warm and personable, and the dishes were fantastic and authentic Italian, bursting with flavor. To top it all off, the owner gave us a delicious tiramisu on the house! We will definitely come back when we are in AMI and recommend this place to anyone looking for a genuine Italian cuisine!

This is a great new hidden gem for locals and tourists alike. Mauricio and Luciana make you feel like family from the moment you arrive. We ordered croissants and cappuccino while there, and took lasagna to go. Everything was delicious. Parking can be tough to find, depending on the time you go, but it will be worth it. The atmosphere is so quaint, like you’re actually in a European cafe. This will be our new spot to take friends when they are visiting.

Amazing!!! Owners we’re so welcoming and wish we took more pics of all the delicious food from bread to pasta and dessert!

Literally the best Italian food experience we have EVER had and we have visited Italy many times!!!
Do yourself a favor and visit here.
Tell them to surprise you! Sit back and enjoy!!!

My wife and I had an amazing experience at Pane e Amore. The food is excellent and very authentic. The lasagna was "buonissimo". Grazie mille to Maurizio and Luciana for making us feel so welcome.

First time at Pane e Amore Italian Deli and it won't be our last!

The owners made us feel incredibly welcome, and the service was exceptional. Delicious food!
A truly special place. Highly recommend!

Pane e Amore is a true hidden gem. My only regret is not visiting sooner! Mauricio and Luciana made us feel like instant family. The atmosphere, food and drink are top notch! It is clear that this is a true passion and they put their heart and soul into everything they do. They will be seeing a lot of us… thank you for the hospitality!

After meeting Luciana on Friday night, we read the great reviews and decided to change our dinner plans and eat at Pane E Amore.

Luciana and Maurizio were so friendly. He made my sister and me a delicious charcuterie board. When we told him what looked good on the menu, he made us a plate with two entrees to try. Everything, from the wine to the dessert was so fresh and yummy!!!

Yes-it is in a little building with shops, but you can look up at the sky-and they have it set up really cute.

Great service and great food! I felt like we were special guests! Try this place!! I’ll be back!
