Did you know we have our very own upstate New York, Utica inspired restaurant in Bradenton, FL? Lamantini Trattoria brings Old-World style Italian cuisine with a modern flare to Manatee County. It is next to Blake Hospital off 59th Street West, previously well-known local spot, Nikki’s on 59th.

Where does this interesting name come from you might ask? Owners Perry and Theresa Murphree decided on the creative name Lamantini Trattoria and it stems from its meaning in Italian, “Manatee’s Casual Style eating establishment”.
