I love really good Italian food. For the past several years, I have been driving by this unassuming restaurant on the corner of a shopping plaza at State Road 70 in Bradenton. I don’t know why I never went in. Several of my friends recommended Cipriano Cucina. Last Sunday, a friend and I decided to give it a try. It was a birthday celebration!
Oh, what a find! The restaurant is very spacious, with lots of room between the tables. There is also a great bar that seats thirty-eight people. It turns out that our server, Heather, is one of the owners with her husband, Stephen. I will talk about Stephen a few paragraphs down in this story.
