Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

You hope you dream you can find decent Italian food in the south. Alas this was not to be the case here. I'd rather name it Blando cucina. We sat at the bar. We both order the "signature" dish past Bravo! Yea it's listed with an exclamation point, but a question mark might serve better here. The sauce was decidedly bland, I've honestly had better from a jar. We asked for and received some crushed red pepper to breathe life into this dead souless dish. It did serve to give it a faint pulse, but this didn't save the day. Our patient was born bland and destined to be forgotten. Skip it and cook at home for decent Italian. There isn't any decent restaurants in Huntsville

Chicken Milanese and Veal Parmesan ordered. It was decent but pricey based on the "meh" quality of food. Basically an overpriced Olive Garden minus the breadsticks and all you can eat salad. Best thing about the meal was eating with my beautiful Michele. Walking out Michele said it may not be too "meh" but I then asked if she'd come back to Bravo and order the same dish because it was to die for. Her reply, "No". Nuff said. The service was mediocre and the food based on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best - I'd rate Bravo a 5. Better Italian fare can be found elsewhere and cheaper. Bravo must have one helluva rent payment to Bridge Street Mall.

The house specialty, "Pasta Bravo" is the best pasta restaurant meal I've had in a very long time! Reasonable prices. Crowded but that's to be expected since it is newly opened. Very friendly service. Great location.
(5)John S.
Absolutely worthless. My food came out 10 minutes after everyone else's. The chicken was burned and dry. After telling the waitress of my problem, they took another 15 or 20 minutes to bring out my food. By this time the others at my table were finished. In the meantime my drink wasn't refilled even after placing my glass on the very edge of the table to make it obvious. Even after all that they still charged me for the chicken. I was visibly upset, and the server place the bill right in front of me and gave me a look because I had said something about her to the other waiter. Apparently they like to talk to each other. LOL. I'll never go back to bravo.
(1)Michael L.
We visited Bravo today hoping to have a nice lunch. We had to wait for 20 minutes for a table which not a big deal for the area, so no problem there. The problem was once we got seated, we sat at the table for about 3 minutes and the server came buy and told us that he would be right back to get our drink order....5 minutes came and wen....10 minutes came and went.....then about 15 minutes. I started to notice the table next to us was complaining about them not all receiving their food they waited about 5-8 minutes that we they had to wait for everyone to receive their food, by that time the food was getting cold. This was a terrible first visit I called the manager on our way to our next restaurant and he invited us back and reassured us this is not what to expect in his establishment.
(1)Denise M.
The service was not the best. The waitress was great at taking our order in a timely manner however she did not ask if we wanted straws with our drinks and she did not check to see if we had silverware on the table when she brought our appetizer and entress. She did make suggestions from the menu and made sure the food was brought out when the food was readily available. The food was hot upon arrival and delicious to the taste. My crab cakes were the best I ever had. I would definitely return again.
(4)Joelle B.
My son ordered fettuccini Alfredo and loved it, but left hungry.. Portion size was small. I had the salad and grilled salmon dish. Said was the BEST!! Actual salmon was excellent ... Again the portion size for the price was small. My friend had a salad and loved it but send the lobster bisque back. Friends for 13 years and I've never seen her send a dish back. Staff:: manager check on us and took the bisque off my friends ticket. He was helpful and friendly. Waiter never let our glasses get empty but when it came to pay the check took forever, around 15-20 to get us our check. A little frustrating. It wasn't a super busy day. Overall, I'm not sure if I would try it again. It was good... My food was great actually, but I believe if your going to pay those prices for food... You should receive a portion size worthy of price tag.
(3)Mark J.
Waiter was pretty bad to awful. Had to be reminded to bring me my drink, to "not forget to bring the gluten free menu". Food was ok, but nothing special. Over priced in my opinion for the quality of the food and the wait staff. Meatballs and polenta would be gluten free if they didn't put wheat in their meatballs.....
(2)Elizabeth N.
The restaurant is really nice, but the food is pretty average here. I loved that the salmon dish was packed full of healthy ingredients, i.g salmon, sweet patotaoes, spinach, asparagus. But it wasn't seasoned very well, so it was just ok. Surprisingly, the grilled tilapia tasted better. Doubt I will get either when I go back. The service was awesome though!. Our waitress offered several helpful menu suggestions, and the food came out quickly. It was packed, and I was STARVING so I'm so thankful for that! Looking forward to trying the lobster bisque next time!
(3)Rio W.
I dig it. The food has always been good if not great. There were two occasions where they were out of the wine I ordered and then Peroni the next time. Drinks from the bar are a little weak. I enjoy macaroni grill's bread better, but Bravo's prices are a little less steep. Great brunch, too! Their open biscuit sandwich is on point. Candied bacon and sriacha sauce? Genius. Stuffed French toast? Massive! I love the open atmosphere and ambience. Can get loud, but not to the point you have to shout at your dinner guest. I've been there multiple times including Easter brunch and my birthday. Great service every time. They have a huge bar area and outdoor patios on both sides. We like to do reservations through Open Table beforehand, and with this weather, I can't wait to try their outside seating.
(4)Mike S.
Not my style. Came here yesterday for lunch after trying takeout on my first encounter. The verdict? Someone-namely me- should have stayed at home. I honestly think the requisite bread and oil (which included tomato pesto) was the best part of the meal. The wine list carries a few perfunctory names, all appropriately priced and largely tasteless. But better to get wine than a sweet tea; it took my lunch crewmate better than 10 minutes to get the first refill. How do we know? We timed it. Thr lobster ravioli was lackluster in at least two too many ways. Though the ravioli was cooked decently, the sauce seemed... microwaved. The cherry tomatoes were just tomatoes as well... and barely that. And if you see the pic, I received a "lump" of fresh grated parmesan on my ravioli. Sigh... They've only been open a month or so. I'm really hoping that's the issue. But deep down, I know better. You can fix the service, but you can't so easily fix the food. 2.5 stars...on account of the maitre'd actually being pleasant and the waitresses being nice in a very rehearsed kinda way.
(2)Karina P.
Came for a work awards lunch with a pretty large group. The service from our servers was great but the Pasta Mediterranean that I ordered was bland and copious amounts of salt could not revive it! Additionally when we ordered dessert it took forever to come out but the cheesecake was good. Unfortunately the kitchen makes a restaurant.
(2)George B.
Great Sunday Brunch. We made a reservation and they were ready exactly on time. Good service and good food. I recommend the Sicilian Omelette from today's selection while my wife got the Romano crusted chicken salad - wonderful !
(5)Chris T.
I tried the Chicken Marsala. Sauce, potatoes and green beans were excellent. Chicken was not as moist as I's hoped. Bartender suggested the veal Marsala next time. Not on the menu but CAN be made, he assured me.
(4)Tom P.
We recently ate a lunch and dinner at Bravo. In both cases the service was excellent, with Jazzy and another gentlemen. Our lunch experience was great and very flavorful food, enough so, to go back to dinner with the rest of our family. Unfortunately, something happened in those two days. The food was flavorless and mediocre. The marsala sauce tasted as if they had forgotten the marsala and the pasta on another dish was very oily. Everything needed a bit of salt. Good experience and bad experience equals average and inconsistent.
(3)Marie S.
I took my husband here for his birthday. Food was not impressive. This is the second time I've eaten here and my husband's first time. If he hadn't asked to come here for his birthday meal, I would've avoided eating here the second time. Anyways, he had the Grilled Chicken Marsala which was very dry and tough. I had the scallop pasta minus the scallops. Bread was like "to go" bread from the fast food Italian restaurant, not what you'd expect in a "nice sit down" restaurant. No refills on the ice tea. No dishes cleared until a minute before we paid the bill (which took FOREVER to get from the waitress). No manager in sight to report any of these issues to. Asked my hubby if he wanted birthday dessert and his comment was, "I don't want to give them any more money since most of this meal would taste better from a fast food chain.". One last thing, no price discount if you go meatless on your entree. This isn't a big deal to me since I'm used to just having to pay full price for dishes, but when you're paying $16 for something that probably would be $9 otherwise, well, it makes you think. POSTNOTE: BRING A JACKET!! It is ALWAYS cold in this restaurant.
(1)Danielle Z.
Food was delicious, but we left hungry. Portion size is pretty small, especially for the price point. We went on a friday night at 530p and got immediate patio seating, but food took a long time. Our kids got antsy. Would be a nice place for a date with hubby or with friends, but wouldnt recommend for family with toddlers.
(3)B H.
Maybe they are fixing some of those prior issues. For our lunch, 4 stars for a chain type restaurant. Reminded our party of an Italian Cheesecake Factory. We were almost put off by the wait and then found they're pretty efficient getting parties seated & served. Pastas are very good & homemade on premises. I ordered some sort of healthy option with couscous & quinoa which was surprisingly good. Recommend.
(4)Nhu-An N.
We ate at Bravo for a birthday. The restaurant is very beautiful outside, and pretty inside too. I look forward to warmer weather so I can enjoy the gorgeous patio they have. Very crowded and lively atmosphere. The service was excellent! Our waiter was so funny and sincere. Even the man that refilled our drinks made sure to say "Pardon my reach" if he had to reach across someone. I was impressed with the care they took. As for the meal, the drinks were just okay, all a little too sweet and not strong enough, we tried the white peach sangria and the sangria rosa. We ordered the lobster ravioli, mama's lasagna, and fried calamari to start! The lobster ravioli was good. The fried calamari was good as well, the horseradish sauce its served with made it better than it really was. Mama's lasagna was delicious, a must-try. We'll be back to try the happy hour specials... They look pretty good and the prices are amazing! They might just steal us from being regulars at Bar Louis happy hour.
(4)Brittany M.
I've been here twice and was not impressed. Average food for above-average prices. Drinks are meh. The atmosphere is very nice and the staff is extremely friendly but that's about it. Would have much preferred they put a cheesecake factory here.
(2)Jack H.
We went to Bravo on a Sunday afternoon to try the place out about a month or two after they opened. The restaurant looked very nice inside and we were seated promptly. The food was good, but our server was something we could not believe. He continuously attempted to take our plates and even our wine despite nearly a half glass left in the bottle. My wife had to stop him and tell him we were not finished with it. We felt as though he was trying to get us out of there so he could fill the table again. Our second experience was much better and our server was much more relaxed and allowed us to leisurely enjoy our meal and the company of our friends.
(4)Matt W.
Service here is awful!! Took an hour for our food to come. Food is okay. Save yourself some time and money. Go somewhere else.
(1)Robert D.
Service was good. Cesar and house salads were very good. Main courses were good but nothing outstanding. I had Pasta Bravo!, bUt it was not inspiring. Others had Chicken Marsala and Chicken Scaloppini. Portions were good with two large pieces of chicken with each. Flavor was good but nothing to write home about. I think I would rather go to some other Italian restaurants than return here.
(3)Justin R.
I really liked this place. A lot of others mentioned slow service, but after going 2 times now, we have had good service. Waiters were helpful and we didn't have to wait longer than any other place. Food was very good and portions were fine. Drinks were always filled. I would recommend this place to anyone.
(5)Jeremy T.
I finally dined here since everyone in town was talking about it. I took this girl who I have been talking to there and my uncle who had already been several times. The inside makes you feel like you are at home. We got sat in no time and our server was there greeting us shortly after. I must say I did not like their wine selection, the list itself was not helpful for what was all in the wines to make a decision but we did order a chianti. The food was on par, I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, they were good size but could have been more hot on the inside. The bread and oil was really good. I give this a 3 star since they could have had more of a variety wines and the fact that they did not have certain classics like Chicken Parmesan for example which I really do love. I do want to go back and have a glass of wine on their patio one day this Spring.
(3)Audra S.
It was okay. It wasn't as good as I hoped. Very standard Italian. Inside is big and nice looking, but still in Alabama so you will see t-shirts and camo ball caps at nearby tables. Good was good. A touch higher than I'd like, but it was very edible. Just no wow factors to draw me back really. It's convenient to Bridgestreet mall, so shoppers there or visitors from out of town may be more inclined to partake.
(3)Adam B.
Not really very impressed. Overpriced in my opinion. Food was no better than any other chain Italian restaurant. I don't consider this restaurant any better than Carrabbas or Macaroni Grill. We got there during happy hour, but if you don't sit in the bar area or in the outdoor area, they will not give you the happy hour discount. I have to say this is the first restaurant I have ever visited where patrons were treated differently based on what section they were sitting in. I found this to be very rediculous. How can you charge different prices based on where I am sitting?! I damn near demanded to be seated in the appropriate area. I found the service to be slow. It took the waiter a long time to first come by our table (they were not even busy by the way). It wasn't a big deal really, because at least we had thoroughly looked over the menu. However, it also took forever for the waiter to close out our bill. It was like once we were done eating, he was done providing service, but, "Hey, buddy, we'd kind of like to leave at some point."
(2)Leonard W.
The place is cool. The wait is short with reservation but long without. The waiter we had, Mike, is cool and dead on with service. The food comes our hot amd is DELICIOUS!! They brought around pizza while waiting and it uis dynomite!! Having it next time. The shrimp all campanelle was fantastic. Look forward to going back!!!
(5)Mike K.
Had grilled salmon....good but smallish fir $19......loaded it up with vegetables to make it look like you are getting a large portion... you are not. Sat at bar.....two many bartenders bumping into each other and this one young woman (bartender) would not shut the f $ck up.....irritating voice too.....we don't care what you plan on doing after college.....what a voice....paint peeling. Then another woman bartender started on with her story about margaritas.....and she droned on.....this is all during a busy Friday night. This is not real Italiano..... this is faux gimmick Italiano .......nice decor but it will take more than that to get me back.
(2)Chelley H.
We were there for lunch on a weekday. The winter weather advisory was on, so there weren't many people out. That's probably why we were seated immediately. I was impressed by how nice the place looked. I had the lobster bisque and spicy scallop marinara; I liked the latter. I really liked the Tuscan fries that came with my husband's Bravo Burger. They were so yummy, I couldn't stop eating them. The service was good too. Will be returning.
(4)Tahesa N.
I love this place ! Prices are very reasonable and server was on point! Wait time was not long at all. Nice and clean place !
(5)Rebecca B.
Made reservations for 6:15 & we were seated right on time, the place was HOPPING for a Thursday night, & I can see why. Pleasant & attentive server, started with a very yummy fresca salad & I could easily just have that for dinner! Wedding soup a tad bland, but a little S&P did the trick...fettuccine bolognese for me & spaghetti & meatballs for hubby - mine was very tasty, almost like a vodka sauce, hubby's a tad under seasoned. You can't go wrong with the Trio dessert & cappuccino to finish off a good meal! We'll absolutely be back!
(4)Sarah D.
I had dinner there with friends last night and it exceeded our expectations for a chain Italian restaurant. Service was good, salads were delicious and pizzas were so good. Dessert was good as well. We will definitely be back! Oh, the interior is spacious and well designed.
(4)Travelin 7.
Tortellini with sausage, spicy sauce was tasty. Bread served is awful more of a roll instead of Italian save the carbs. Wife's meal was chicken over faro was also good. Della salad was uninspired. Caesar salad was better of the two. Give it four stars for atmosphere only. Food is no better than Macaroni grill or carraba's but is priced on same level or a little higher just a more upscale vibe. Would not be worth the wait just to eat here though for me. But ok if you can get in quickly however I think that of all the places at bridge street All have a good item or two but nothing that would make me wait for a table. Nice bar side patio but the one next to Main Street is horrible sit inside next to window
(4)Tucker D.
Atmosphere and service is really nice. I recommend an early lunch time. Lobster bisque is fantastic and the Chicken Caprese was delightful. BRAVO! Gets 5 stars from me.
(5)Kari D.
Girlfriends and I decided to have a night out with our kids and husbands! We decided to try out the "new" restaurant in town. Booked an 815pm reservations through open table. We arrived on time. We were told the wait was 25-30 minutes, with our reservation! Us Ladies decided not to let it spoil our night, so we were lucky enough to find 4 seats at a bar table. A very friendly waiter waited on us. We each order a glass of wine and shared the bruschetta while we waited for our table. The bruschetta was ok. Pizza like dough covered with mushrooms and a few tomatoes. It was mediocre. We laughed and enjoyed the lively bar scene. 1 hour later we were finally seated at out table. An hour wait, with a reservation, is unacceptable. We were seated at a large booth, comfortable and spacious. Our waitress was obviously very tired. She groaned when we complained about our wait. Truthfully not one person I can think of sincerely apologized for our wait. It almost felt like we were an inconvenience to them. Wait, I think the poor young hostess who sat us did say she was sorry, quietly, as we were sitting down. But other than that every other staff member seemed annoyed. The food is chain Italian. Nothing special. I ordered the spicy scallops. I have never seen scallops so small. My friends ordered; Lasagna- it was under seasoned. Lobster ravioli- ok. Cooked well just not great. Gluten free chicken pasta dish- it was in a white sauce was watery. We had a hard time finding the chicken in the dish. And she ordered it without the mushrooms. But it came with the mushrooms. When the waitress noticed my girlfriend picking them out. She NEVER offered to return the dish. She just stated that that wasn't how she put in the order. My girlfriend was so hungry she almost didn't care, she just wanted to eat. Seeing how it was now 10pm! No apology for the dish being served wrong, no compensation for the dish being incorrectly served either. So overall none of us will ever go back.
(2)Steve B.
We ate at this restaurant shortly after it opened and were pleased with the food and the service. My wife and I ate there for the second time today. Something has happened to the food quality It is a totally different experience. The bread served before the meal was under-cooked with no crust, really horrible. She ordered toasted ravioli (which she had before and liked) this time they were obviously deep fried and very greasy. They had that, just popped out of the freezer taste. I had the chicken Marsala, the chicken was dry and tasteless, the Marsala sauce tasted like a can of Campbell's brown gravy. The mashed potatoes that came with it tasted like they were made with the instant potato powder. We were very disappointed and won't be back.
(1)bob k.
Caesar salad and pasta bravo were really good. Good spot to hit if you are at the hotel close by.
(4)Johanna Q.
Decent Italian inspired cuisine in large portions. Very nice atmosphere. Lobster bisque was very thick and flavorful. A lot of cream in the pasta sauce. Very nice wait staff. Not spectacular but not at all bad. Tons better than olive garden. Would be great for large gatherings or business meals
(3)Marc P.
Place was busy. Bar had a good vibe which is where we ate due to the wait. Service was good. Food was better than average Italian for a chain, but not exceptional. I had the "Light Menu" grilled salmon pasta. Salmon was too dry for me but otherwise the dish was ok. Overall just average food for the price.
(3)N Y.
I've eaten here twice. Both times I made it clear that i have a gluten allergy. they brought out gluten containing food/wrong order both times. The sad thing is i ordered off the gluten free menu AND asked again before consumption when the server brought out the food. Yet i still ended up with gluten containing food. Servers lied to me and i get sick after eating here. The only good thing here IMO is the martinis. Hence the one star.
(1)Alex M.
Good, similar to Mac Grill or Carrabas but slightly less Italian. Slightly expensive, good service. Would return.
(4)Johnny N.
This place has a beautiful appearance and could easily be mistaken for a fine-dining restaurant at first glance. That illusion is what persuaded me to try the food. This is nothing more than microwaved noodles served by shoe-makers. I had the 'signature' past dish, the pasta Bravo which was definitely NOT fresh made in the kitchen, and tasted completely bland and microwaved. The price is exorbitant for microwaved noodles. The Caesar salad was an absolute joke. The service at the bar was abysmal. The staff have no idea about service at all, falsely believing that constantly 'checking-in' and asking: 'How is everything here?''Is everything still okay?''How are you doing?' is attentive service. I felt like I had to fight off the same stupid questions with every bite. Rather than clearing dirty plates BEFORE the next course the waiter stood there with the entree, waiting to hand it to me. She seemed completely confused when I did not participate in clearing the plate and taking the entree from her by hand. The most telling sign that the emphasis is 'eat it and beat it' is when the server asked if I wanted to see the desert menu before I had finished my meal. Since the food and service is typical of a cafeteria, the prices should be also. I will never return.
(1)Christy B.
I visited 2 times within the last few days. This is a beautiful restaurant very classy and casual at the same time. Prices very affordable (to me) dinner ranges $14-$25.i had an appetizer shrimp Napoli...this is delicious! A must try. First time I visited I tried the white peach Palmer which was really good and peach Bellini which was even better. My entree was Mama Lasagna Bolognese...it's huge and shareable but so good I ate alllllllllllllll of it. 2nd time I had the Chicken Milanese which was just ok. I wish I tried the spaghetti and meatballs...next table over had it and it looked so drooling good lol! The 2nd visit I had the warm chocolate cake with ice cream and it was a supreme fail for me. Cake wasn't warm, and only the edge was cooked it was almost like super sweet pudding in the middle. That's the only reason I gave 4 stars instead if 5. Super friendly and southern hospitality by the staff. Managers were present and involved. Very accommodating as well. The outside patios are super cute and comfy. I plan to spend plenty of summer nights here!
(4)Arrow H.
Ate here three times so far. Insalata caprese is the best in town. Lasagna was not good. Brunch bacon eggs and potatoes was sad. The fake egg beater eggs were terrible. Deserts are so so. Servers are good and attentive. The menu/food ingredients need a redo. Call in Robert Irvine for some help.
(2)Kevin D.
Sat at the Bar and had lunch. The food, Service & brew were excellent. I highly recommend them!
(5)Karen L.
AWESOME! Service and food are wonderful!!! We will definitely be back. One of the best waitresses I have ever had. Huge portions! Easy to share. The shrimp Napoli is enough for the main course. Lasagna is HUGE! Easily feeds 3 people.
(5)Steve L.
WE had reservations at 6:15 on a rainy Saturday night. They finally seated us at 7:10. Reservations are a joke. A lot of people coming in behind us were in the same situation. When you arrive they give you a pager whether you have reservations or not.just like they do everybody else. Their waiting area is very small so people were all bumping in to each other trying to get out of the way. The hostess was very nice but it was obvious her training taught her to smile, give the customer a pager then forget about them and smile some more. Now to the food. Better than Macaroni Grill but not as good as Carabas. After being seated if was another 10 minutes before before our waitress greeted us. I had a side salad that was brought out with no dressing on it. I got the Bravo signature dish and my wife got Chicken Marsala. My pasta dish was ok but certainly not a signature dish. My wifes chicken was very good and cooked just right. We did have to ask for bread 3 times before we got it and my water glass was empty for about 10 minutes. Our meal with 2 glasses oh house wine was $53.00 which is not bad but the entire service side of it was very unorganized. I am sure they have a system for service but it was not working on the night we were there. We probably will not return because of the 50 minute wait with reservation and the overall service we received.
(2)Buzz B.
Went to Bravo for a colleague's going away luncheon, first time visit. The service was very good and the restaurant's decor is quite nice with its high ceilings and plentiful windows, although it's a bit noisy. Lasagna being one of the standards I judge Italian restaurants by, I ordered it. The choice was between a half portion with salad or a full portion without salad for $2 more, so I went with the full. No complaints on the portion size really, maybe just a tad expenisve but this IS Bridge Street. I was disappointed, however, with the lasagna itself. It consisted mostly of ricotta cheese, no mozzarella, one thin layer of meat, and topped with a little (not enough) tomato sauce. The pasta itself was also overly cooked, very soft with no texture. Some of the dishes the others at the table ordered look good, so I won't totally thumb down this place, but I still prefer the other three Italian chains in Huntsville.
(3)Elaine M.
We arrived on a packed Saturday afternoon and chose to sit at the bar (no reservations). The bartender was excellent, very friendly and attentive. I ordered the lasagna (delicious), and my husband had the spaghetti and meatballs (very good). Service was very quick despite the crowded restaurant. My drink was well made and delivered quickly. Great hard working bartenders! We will be back!
(5)megan s.
This is a very nice looking new restaurant at bridge street. We decided to give it a try, the interior is very nice, open and upscale looking. The menu selection did not seem very good and is pricey plus you don't even get a salad with your meal and not much bread, just 3 pieces to munch on, but we were hoping the food would be a step above Carraba's or Macaroni Grill. We got the pasta woozie and bravo pasta. Boy were we wrong and disappointed. The pasta woozie which is basically fettuccine Alfredo was the blandest Alfredo sauce/meal I have ever tasted at a Italian restaurant in my life. The Alfredo sauce tasted exactly like the bland pre made Alfredo sauces in a jar you get at supermarkets(I know, I used to use them before making my own Alfredo sauce. It had no taste, was bland, and was just filling. The alfredo sauce at olive garden, macaroni grill, carrabbas is far better and actually tastes like home made alfredo instead of pre made jar heated up supermarket alfredo. My bravo pasta meal was just decent, nothing special but at least much better then the bland alfredo sauce which I seriously suspect was just made by heating up a jar of pre made supermarket Alfredo sauce because that is exactly what it tasted like and I am not exaggerating because it immediately reminded me of those awful alredo sauces at supermarkets I used to heat up when I tried it here. It seems like a nice popular spot with a nice atmosphere and we will likely be invited/eating there again with friends/work but we won't be going on our own, if joining friends I might just order a appetizer or something else next time, definitely not going to get anything with that bland alfredo sauce.

We had a great brunch here today! Ham and eggs Benedict on house made biscuits were great. The candied bacon burger was the highlight and the home fries were great too. Try their cucumber/vodka specially drink,it's refreshing and so is the price! We will be back! Service was just nice and what you would expect.

My wife and I lived in Europe for 11 1/2 years serving in the military and had the opportunity to go to Italy many, many times... We went here for Valentine's dinner. It was a bit behind on reservations, but most places are during certain holidays. The staff was incredible from the moment we walked in, A+. For drinks we had the Barbera di Asti, well worth the price, and definitely cheaper than by the glass. The appetizer, Portobella and Borsin Bruschetta, was phenomenal, the entire dish danced on the pallet. My wife had the Grilled Salmon... She has eaten around the world and said this was the best Salmon dish she has ever had in the States. The Salmon was perfect, nothing else to say. The aspargus, spinach, sweet potatoe, and cherry tomatoes suatated with a basalmic creme drizzle across all of it, the salmon too, was so delightful... a party in your mouth of flavors. Now I had the Pasta Fra Diavolo, spicy tomatoe cream sauce, campanelle pasta with shrimp... perfectly seasoned and just spicy enough... Molte bene... We continued with limoncello and shared the Berry Cheescake, perfecto... Our server was the best and will ask for her every time, Heather C. Very attentive and knowledgeable of everything Bravo... Again, Perfecto and will only have her as our server. Overall, this was a great experience and will definitely come back and recommend to everyone!

On travel, I came across this new restaurant. First night I had the balsamic chicken and took it back to my room. The portion of chicken was huge and delicious. I was given bread and dipping sauce. Next night I had salmon but stayed at the restaurant and sat near the kitchen. What an amazing staff; Jessica was making appetizers and gave me a sample of the most delicious flatbread. Great and happy staff; amazing food!

I used Opentable to make a reservation. That is a great option. We were seated as soon as we showed up. The food came out promptly. The calamari was a little salty and way over breaded. It came with rings and tenticles which I like. It was fresh and came with two sauces for dipping. It was great but just overpowered by too much batter. I won't order this again. The salad I got had strawberries and mixed greens. I ordered it without onions but it came with them. It was very good, I'll probably get that again but ask for the dressing on the side. The cost was good and the menu looked good. I'll go back and try something new.

We weren't impressed with this place at all. After a long wait (with a reservation) we were seated toward the back of the restaurant and it was freezing back there. The drinks were wrong twice and had to be sent back. Our. waiter Matt wasn't very friendly either. The food was bland at best. Nothing positive to say about the place at all except that the interior is nice. We won't be back.
