Aroy D Thai and Sushi — Restaurant in Bradenton

A Celebration of Flavors and Colors from Italian Cuisine 🇮🇹🍝 When I arrived at Bella Italia restaurant I immediately felt the Italian warmth and joy The elegant yet homey design the cheerful Italian music in the background and the smell of tomato sauce and basil in the air put me in a festive mood I sat down at a table with a red and white checkered tablecloth and the energetic waiter greeted me with a Buona sera The menu was full of classic Italian dishes from pasta and risotto to meat and fish dishes I hesitated a bit because everything sounded so delicious but in the end I decided to start with a shared antipasto and then order a pasta ragu dish The antipasto platter was a celebration of colors and flavors - plump olives pickled artichokes slices of fine salami rich Italian cheeses and sweet cherry tomatoes Every bite was a delight When I finished the antipasto my pasta dish arrived - fresh and delicate pasta in a rich and meaty ragu sauce sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan cheese The sauce had been slow-cooked for hours and it definitely showed in the depth of flavors During the meal I enjoyed the lively atmosphere of the restaurant Waiters rushing between tables with smiles on their faces sounds of cheerful conversation and rolling laughter from all around I felt like I was in the heart of Italy celebrating life and good food For dessert I ordered homemade tiramisu which was light and airy with a rich taste of coffee and cocoa It was a perfect ending to an authentic and joyful Italian meal I left Bella Italia with a big smile on my face and a feeling of warmth and satisfaction I am already looking forward to the next opportunity to return and taste more of their...

Our experience was nothing short of terrible. Our waitress seemed very annoyed to be working today. Her nails were very dirty. She got the appetizers order and never checked in with us after she delivered appetizers. 25 minutes after we had finished eating I had to stand up to order our food. When she brought out order, she didn't checked on us again for drink refills. We were very surprised to see the amount of sushi we received (we ordered 3 different rolls) by the time our dinner plate came we couldn't even taste it we were so full. The waitress finally made her appearance to check on our drinks, and noticed we weren't eating. She proceeded to ask if we wanted to go containers which we did. When she brought them up, she also brought the check. Since we were friends catching up we didn't pick up the bill right away. Our waitress came back 3 different times to NOW check on us. It is Monday night and the place wasn't busy at all. It was 7:10pm by the time i paid so it is not like we were overstaying as there was another table present. I pick up the bill and noticed there 2 orders of each sushi roll. I questioned the waitress on why she ordered 2 and she said I had marked it, she showed me the menu I marked and clearly it's an X. Then she just LAUGHED. Like, me paying for her mistake was so funny. I paid the bill because I am taking the extra food home. But I ended up spending $36 extra on food i had not ordered. I had never experienced such horrible service where they do not even acknowledge or apologize for their mistake. Food was ok. Not the best...

This is high on my list of the top Thai restaurants in the Sarasota Bradenton area. The staff were very friendly and attentive, Jojo (I hope that's right) always made sure our drinks were full and our needs were met! Coco (again I hope that's right lol) made our sushi and made it with absolutely zero compromises, perfect!

We came 2 nights in a row, Saturday and Sunday, Sunday was busy around 8pm but still had no issues getting our food quickly and having great service!

Saturday I got the red curry with duck and extra bamboo, the flavor was fantastic and plenty of duck to boot! I love bamboo and they definitely delivered with alot! I also got a volcano roll, the roll was toasted and had a slight char from a torch on top, amazing!

Sunday I got the Panang curry extra spicy with scallops, they definitely delivered on flavor and spice, I'm a spice guy, my lips have to be numb and nose running, and they gave me extra red pepper on the side to ensure I got what I wanted. The scallops have to be the best ratio of scallop to price I've seen, not too little to feel they skimped out and not too much to feel like they are loosing money either. The scallops went perfect with the curry, not overpowering by any means. I also got a bradenton roll which came with 4 pieces, 2 full sized scallops fried and cut in half, great flavor and presentation!

Overall fantastic experience 2 nights in a row, every expectation was met and exceeded, I will definitely be returning many times...
