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.

A solid choice for a late dinner. We had just gotten into town and made it here at 9:45 pm. Apologies to our server were due and we tried to hurry because the kitchen was closing in 15 minutes. I'd been craving angelhair, which they had (hurray!). The Pasta BRAVO! I ordered was surprisingly tasty, with a good amount of chicken and veggies. So was the spinach dip we ordered for the table. Portions were large. I took half of my pasta with me, despite being completely starved from traveling all day. It made a tasty lunch the next day. They freshly grate the parmesan over your dish here with one of those rotary graters, and they'll keep going until you say "stop". Which in my case took quite awhile. Despite that, and our lateness in getting to the restaurant, our service was provided graciously with smiles and assurances of "don't worry about it", and at no point were we rushed. I don't usually go for big chain restaurants, but this Bravo location won me over.

Bravo is the first restaurant that always sticks out when thinking of Italian food in Rochester Hills. They try to keep it classy in the restaurant and they do a very good job at maintaining the Italy feel. They do serve for lunch and dinner but they also have brunches, which makes them great for the weekends. I remember a dish I had a few years ago during the brunch but they did not have it on their menu this year, so it tells me that they change their menu every year or so. This brings a variety to their customers, which is a great way to spice things up and not make it boring for their regulars. One of the greatest things I've always liked about Bravo, and not just the great taste of their food, is their service. Their servers are always willing to go an extra mile to help you. They have a strong knowledge about their menu and can explain their dishes, so you can understand how it will be prepared. Their drinks are also very good and the bartender is great at making drinks the way you requested. My only complaint is the timing of their service. The past couple times have been a little slow. I'm not sure if it was because they were short staff and/or busier than usual because we were sitting outside on the patio (another great feature). Their aren't that many Italian restaurants that I will return to but Bravo is definitely one of them!

I like this Bravo location more than the one in northville. The wait staff was excellent, the food great and in the right portion sizes, and the atmosphere is much friendlier. We ordered the shrimp Napoli was was amazing and came out of the kitchen within 15 minutes of ordering. We also had the Sicilian pizza, chicken spinach and bacon flatbread and the grilled salmon. We finished with the cheesecake and it was amazing! This cheesecake was much better than the ones at the Cheesecake Factory! Great service on top of the food.
(4)Lyndsey C.
Nothing special but nice enough. Food is good, pretty good portion sizes, good service. I had a baby shower thrown for me here... main issue is that they told them there might be another party in the room with us but it wouldn't be more than 15... it was and they were literally right next to us... and then after the other party was finished and gone they started seating regular tables in with us... not a loved thing when you pay for a party to be here... I would have been annoyed if I had been throwing it. Nice location, though.

Had a business dinner last night and I ordered the brussel sprout salad as an appetizer. It was awesome with just the right amount of dressing with a bit if a garlic kick! Main course was the Mahi Mahi with couscous, sugar snap peas and lemon sauce. It was perfect! Just the right amount of seasoning and the lemon sauce was a wonderful compliment to the couscous and fish. One of the best meals I've had in a long time. This was my first time eating at a Bravo - I will try them again.
(4)Hanan A.
I loved this place, it's huge Nice place , friendly staff Good Italian food The salmon dish in the light option menu under 600 calories was so tasty They have two salmon dishes there and both tasted amazing The bread is yummy too The chocolate desert is worth trying Good service
(5)Krystle S.
Stopped in for lunch while working in the area. Never had heard of it before. The ambiance was really nice and I liked the service immensely. Very professional. The prices were rather, well, pricey for what you were getting. I can't say I would come here on my own if I were paying myself. There's comparable places with better or similar quality that have better pricing options. I'm just not sold, but maybe there were specials I wasn't aware of. My dish wasn't insanely complex for the price. Deserts looked good, but we skipped. I'd come here again if I wasn't paying OR if they had a special going on. Not too upset about it though.
(3)Anthony K.
Not many places stick out the way bravo does when craving Italian. There are definitely other Italian restaurants within five miles but the atmosphere and menu at bravo cannot be beat. A very classy comfortable feel when eating here, also very personal when here on a one on one date with that special someone. I do feel like I can achieve that exclusive feeling when out one on one for dinner. The food is delicious and the servers are trained to treat their consumers very well. The food is delicious and you will crave a meal days after having it here. The restaurant is located in the village of Rochester and to me is one of the reasons I would choose this Italian restaurant over others. A beautiful location accompanied by great people and delicious food. Can't go wrong with bravo! Enjoy!

It's really almost basically a three but considering how fancy the place kind of looks and my expectations, I was pretty let down... even though I only ordered the seafood (or was it just lobster?) bisque. The best part about Bravo, outside of the aesthetic, is the service. The waiter really seemed to give a shit and was attentive without being over-the-top. Since I only got the (I'll call it) seafood bisque, I have no reason to go on for hours about how it tasted... it was okay. Really, I liked the taste of it, but there was too much salt in it. I like salty food, but this was nearly past my sodium tolerance... and I eat Taco Bell for shit's sake! Maybe if I hadn't eaten about an hour earlier and actually had an appetite to order something bigger off the menu, I'd give a better rating, but based on what I had *this* visit... kind of mediocre. I definitely wouldn't be opposed to a re-visit though.
(2)Mrs. And Mr. G.
family style, good service, tried it twice and we liked the food there. Regular portions,some of the entrees are small. For the price will expect larger portions. But overall it's a nice place to try
(3)Mel L.
Service was good but food was bad. The appetizers were good - the grilled calamari and bruschetta - but not a single person liked their entree. My grilled salmon salad tasted ok, but the piece of salmon was tiny, it was like eating an entire bag of that pre-packaged baby lettuce you can get from the grocery store, with some chopped tomatoes and dressing in it. They overcooked my mom's filet from the requested medium rare to a medium well. And the chicken pesto spaghetti did not have very much pesto in it. I was impressed though that they had a lighter choices menu and a gluten free menu, each with approximately nine choices. The decor is nice and there are lots if large tables so it's good for groups, but the best part of the meal was the bread and olive oil they brought when we sat down.
(2)Melissa B.
We went for Father's Day lunch and had a great time. Yummy peach Bellini's is all I have to say! Actually I didn't realize there was a Sunday brunch menu until 3 pm. That is a summer game changer. They have a lovely outdoor patio and is perfect for a relaxing Sunday in the village. We had basic items off the menu, portions were large and the price fair. Kids pasta ended up being taken to go because they couldn't finish. Our waiter was very attentive, friendly and nice to chat with. Kids got coloring mats and crayons ... Enough to keep them busy before their meal arrived. The atmosphere and decor is lovely. It's an Italian restaurant. I'm always pleased with veggie options and they had enough for me to choose from. We had a very enjoyable visit and I'm looking forward to going back.
(4)Vanessa H.
We love Bravo and eat at The Village location often. They have a great new frequent diners program. Check it out! Also like their light menu.

Went for dinner Tuesday evening. Dinner was pretty average. There was a fire alarm that went off in the restaurant for over five minutes and No one from the staff told us anything. we just sat there wondering if we should Run for our lives or stay! No one ever explained it to us nor did they apologize or offer us even a coffee for the interruption. I won't be back,
(1)Dana Z.
I love this Olive Garden debate. Sorry, but I definately agree it is an Olive Garden immitation. Don't get me wrong, I love Olive Garden. But you know everyone goes there for the salad and breadsticks, which is where Bravo is lacking. So if you are in the mood for some chain "Italian" and I USE THAT WORD LOOSELY, OG is probably a better bet. I usually don't compare restaurants to other chains but I feel like this one deserves it. The staff is quite annoying too. I saw more staff sitting down and eating than the customers. Just weird....
(3)Kara D.
Bravo is okay. I think a few years ago they used to be much better, as the quality has gone down. They have decent happy hour food specials worth checking out, though.
(3)Theresa T.
I would give the restaurant a higher mark if they would have turned up the A/C! I complained to the server. And she said "you should have been here yesterday, we were dying" seems management didn't want to crank up the A/C. ARE U KIDDIN ME? It's close to 95* outside. After we complained suddenly we feel the A/C come on. I felt horrible for the staff. Besides that the food was very good. Loved the spinach dip with homemade chips. House salad and Pasta. My FIL loved the Eggplant dish. We all had dessert and that was good too. The bill came to 112.00 for 7 adults and 1 child. No drinks. But who wants to sweat while their eating....
(3)Amy B.
I came here on a second date last night, and was quite impressed after my experience. It's definitely a nice restaurant, and was happy to eat here finally. I was the first one of us two to get here, and I approached the hostess to put my name in. She told me it was going to be a 40-50 minute wait and gave me a buzzer. I thought that seemed like an awfully long time, but the place was super packed!! I mean full! I went and took a seat at the bar and waited for my date. I will say, that if you are waiting to be seated, the only decent place to go is to the bar. There really isn't much of a lobby area unless you want to stand outside. Being that the weather here is unpredictable and cold at times, I don't know that waiting outside is all that much fun. I wish they had more seating or room in this area because it would make it a lot easier. While waiting at the bar the bartenders were awesome. There was about 3 of them working (two guys, one girl) and I never felt like I was ignored. They took care of me and my date, and I was really happy with the service I received. Mind you, our buzzer never went off, and we finally resigned to eating at the bar. This isn't a huge problem, but the bar area was as packed as the restaurant, and if I hadn't gotten there when I did, we would have been stuck standing there like a bunch of fools. They gave us this really awesome bread with flavored oil to snack on while our food was getting prepared. It was really good! The bartenders got us our dinners, and we both went with Lasagna. It was quite delicious! I stuck with water as did my date, and we did not have dessert. Overall, the food here was awesome and I really had a good time. I would gladly return in the future and dine here again. Very positive experience.

I had an enjoyable time here. It wasn't out of this world, but it certainly was better than my experiences at Maggiano's. The space itself is very large, similar to Maggiano's but the interior is much brighter and has a more Tuscan feel. I arrived here on a Thursday around 5pm, and it was POURING outside, so thankfully, the restaurant itself was cool enough so that I could dry off. The front staff was all smiles, but I didn't get that really welcoming feeling. It was early dinner, and there were only a hand full other tables filled, so it was nice to step into some peace and quiet. Shortly after, my clients arrived and we looked over the menu and placed our orders. I went with the Veal Parmesan ($20.73), and it was pretty good. The breading wasn't too dense, had good moisture, and it was seasoned well. Marinara sauce was standard, but it did have nice tomato chunks to give it more texture and body. Surprisingly, the linguini that came with it was tossed in a light cream sauce, that I enjoyed. I'm normally not a cream sauce girl because it tends to be too heavy, but Bravo did a great job keeping it light. Portion size was a good 2 oz. portion, and the veal was a good 6 oz. For the price, I'd say it was fair, but people with bigger appetites might feel jipped. Their herb rosemary bread was good, but dry, probably due to its cool temperature. None of us were all that enthusiastic to eat it, so we didn't bother to send it back. One piece was good enough for me. Dessert options were just okay, so I didn't get any, though my client loved her citrus parfait. Overall, this place was okay, but nothing I really couldn't get anywhere else. Our server was a nice gentleman who was courteous and professional. I'd say if you're craving some Italian and happen to be at the Village doing some shopping, it's not a bad option.

Luckily we arrived at 4pm on a Friday and did not have to wait to be seating, I notice from a previous review that Bravo is sister to Brio which makes sense. ( I liked Bravo better) The greeter was friendly (but I think it was a manager or something) but seemed fake and to happy. The inside is decorated beautiful and this location is nestled right in the middle of quaint Rochester Hills outdoor shopping mall. The bread they served was really good, the first batch was not as fresh but the second round was right out of the oven and made up for it, the salad is standard but I enjoyed it. The Spaghetti and Meatballs were better then I thought, you received a good portion and I enjoyed the Pasta sauce. The meatballs were good, but near the end I had a few bites that I did feel they were from a can. Brio's Cheesecake was delicious with the caramelized sugar and berry sauce, not as good as the Cheesecake Factory but still delicious. The service was fast and friendly, and we would go back to Brio for sure and recommend it for a unique dining experience.
(4)Phil S.
We treated our friends to their first visit to Bravo's and we're pleased with how much they enjoyed their lunch meal! They vowed to come back to this shopping area as well as eating again at Bravo's!
(4)Sarah C.
Came here for dinner on a Sat. Packed! Make sure to call ahead and make reservations! We were given a booth for our group of 3. It was nice. Our waiter Chase was very tall and also very friendly. I got this: Pecan-Crusted Tilapia Salad Tilapia atop a field greens tossed in balsamic vinaigrette, sliced strawberries, red onions and Boursin cheese 9.99 The salad was very good but unfortunately the tilapia was very tasteless. I wanted some tartar sauce which they didn't have so I had to settle for ketchup. This place isn't very unique but it isn't horrible either. I wouldn't mind coming back since my friend's dinner were both good. Nice bathrooms.
(3)Vickie S.
Absolutely love this restaurant! If you can get seating outside during the summer, like us, you will enjoy it even more! Food is excellent, wait staff is courteous and the wine selection is superb! Ciao! ;)
(4)Bhushan B.
Good but little expensive :D
(3)Robynn J.
Off our list. Food court style Italian food and low class service. The atmosphere is pretentious and servers need training.
(2)Mary J.
Very disappointed. Went there for my moms birthday on a Sunday night. Were the only people waiting (a party of 5) they quoted us 45 minutes. After waiting over 20 minutes seeing multiple tables empty we asked how much longer. The guy said another 25 minutes the kitchen is backed up! Um are you serious? Were the only people waiting why could u not just seat us. Horrible customer service.
(1)Peter K.
This place was just okay. I went here because a colleague recommended it. It feels like your typical upscale suburban chain restaurant. Usually I'm fine with Italian, or so I thought. But I'm lactose intolerant so I can't do dairy or cheese and I have high cholesterol so I try to avoid red meat. Most authentic Italian restaurants have entrees that aren't so cream or dairy heavy such as pastas with red sauce or white wine sauce. However, almost every single item on the Bravo menu contained cream or cheese. And the few that didn't usually involved red meat. WTF? I guess that's to be expected from a suburban pseudo-Italian restaurant in Detroit. I was only left with 1 or 2 choices. It was the balsamic glazed chicken. It was okay but the whole plate of food felt like it was very oily. They probably could have lightened up on the oil and cut the calories and fat on the entree significantly, while still tasting good.
(2)Dean P.
The crispy mozzarella raviolis are amazing. The atmosphere is lovely and dramatic... similar to what you would find in las Vegas. Definitely will come back!
(5)Donald P.
Crowded, you might want to make a reservation.
(4)T Y.
Happy hour food and drinks were very good and at a great price. However, we will probably never go again - went to the bathroom and noticed that the cook did not wash his hands before exiting - Yuck! I tried to talk to the manager but was told that he was "too busy"! My server indicated that she was part of the supervisor staff and that she would make sure it would be addressed, but at the same time she didn't seemed surprised based on past experience.
(1)Tina T.
A bit pricey for portion sizes but atmosphere and food are decent. Service is usually great. I don't think it is an Olive Garden knock-off - far from it --- my only complaint is that the food is not all that unique, the price is higher than one would expect, especially considering the portion sizes. But, the sun-dried tomato olive oil is outstanding and the Pollo Parmigian - Milanese I think (they have their own name for it) and the romano encrusted chicken salad are yummy. Make sure to ask for extra dressing with this one, there is never enough.
(3)Dan N.
Went here for my girlfriend's mom's birthday, and, despite my lack of love for Italian food, had a pretty solid meal. To be honest, I can't really remember what I ordered, but it was super solid. Or maybe the fact that I can't remember this meal is a sign that it was, just A-OK, hence the 3-stars. Is this review pointless??
(3)Howard F.
This is a diamond. Located in a shopping plaza, it's easy access when your shopping. Seated promptly by the host staff which are plenty and do their job well. The waiter was not only well educated on the food which was a bit shocking as come to find out it was his third day at the job. The executive chef has done a great job at this location. You may say "it's a chain" but frankly all was well prepared and didn't have that chain taste. Try this out-I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
(4)Julie P.
Will never go back to this restaurant again! Order food and waited 45 minutes.Then the waitress forgot to place one of our food order. She said, it will take another 15 minutes to wait. Wow another 15 minutes after waiting 45! So we decided to leave and pay. Then, our food to go was given to somebody else. I wonder if all my food to go from this place was eaten by somebody? On top of that, the restaurant manage to charge us two times with somebody's bill. What a bad service! Please don't go to this restaurant and save your self from any headache!
(1)Sonali B.
What this restaurant has in beauty, it lacks in good service. We went in a party of four and ordered four dishes between us, three of which were shared by vegetarians. Since one of our party was a pregnant woman who has an allergy to nuts, we opted to make sure no pine nuts were in the three vegetarian options. When the food arrived, we were assured that not only did the dishes not include pine nuts, but they were prepared separately. They were wrong! Immediately, I spotted one dish with pine nuts before my pregnant friend could eat it and made we made a complaint. So, she shared out of what I was eating. Towards the bottom of the plate, I saw PINE NUTS - she is four months pregnant and with a food allergy which was in the plate we were eating! Instead of making our whole meal free, the manager gave us free appetizer coupons. As if we'd come back! It is a major health risk and they put one of our party and her unborn child in severe danger. I was extremely disappointed with their lack of good service...how embarrassing for them! When they asked us if we wanted free dessert, we told them very plainly that with that type of service, we would surely pass. NOT good service, at all.
(1)Daniel P.
Roommie and I tried this place today. The Taco Bell of Italian restaurants. Americanized Italian...period. All the crisp, clean flavors I love and expect in good Italian are replaced with heavy cream sauces, butter, and gratuitous cheese. Our bruschetta was completely soaked in grease and topped with GRILLED ONIONS (what, no burger meat?). Even the pasta pomodoro was a butter bomb (and topped with chicken!!!) Pasta pomodoro = light and fresh: olive oil, tomatoes, basil. Don't bastardize. The only good thing about our experience is that our waitress was sweet and fun. The hostess on the other hand was the worst I've ever seen. I had to assume she was having a bad day. Go to Carrabba's instead: fresher ingredients, better food, same prices.
(2)Shawn F.
The Bravo! In Rochester is absolutely AWESOME. Don't know where the rest of you are dining but there is absolutely no comparison to Olive Garden. The folks comparing have clearly never been here. Pasta Fra Diavolo, the exceptional wine list and the cheese cake are amazing. I agree with the below that it's a fabulous date spot. I also bring in clients. They love this place.
(5)Tim B.
We eat here10-15 times a year and we have never had a bad meal! The service is usually great! We always ask for Kathy A., she knows the menu and makes great suggestions. The Bread and oil they give you to start is excellent! Their house or chopped salads are great. The lemon shrimp appetizer or Portabello Mushroom is delicious. The Balsalmic Chicken is light and tangy. Their lasagna has a light cream sauce and the right amount of sausage. All their fish dishes are always great and tasty. One of their signature dishes is Pasta Bravo is always great and you can adjust it a little by adding carmelized onion, mushrooms, pine nuts etc. We have proably had every menu items over the past five years on the menu. All dessert items are great! We always get Bravo for either Christmas or New Years parties and our guest love it.

I'm sorry, but this place is horrible. The food was mediocre (I think my first review may have been deleted, but it's possible that the Olive Garden reference that Joe M. is making was originally posted by me; that sounds about on par with my experience at Bravo Cucina Italiana), and the staff was appallingly bad. My friend's grandparents bought dinner for her family and I here after she graduated from college. My friend and I ordered our steaks well-done. Other family members ordered theirs less cooked. The server didn't write down any of our orders. At first, we were impressed, thinking that she had a great memory. Well, after a long wait, the steaks finally arrived. The server set down steaks in front of my friend and I that were very apparently not well-done, and as she did so, she said, "Ok, here's the medium-well." My friend said, "Um, we ordered our steaks well-done." (These were still slightly bloody, so there was no question that they were NOT well-done.) Instead of seeing if she'd mixed up the plates, or asking if we'd like them cooked more, she said, "Oh, that's what I meant to say. These are well-done." Then she walked away. When she came back, my friend showed her our bloody steaks and said, "This is pink and red all the way through. I'm sorry, but this is not well-done." Finally, the server begrudgingly took the plates back to the kitchen. Our new steaks were cooked the way we wanted, but after that, service got very slow. It took forever to get the bill. You know it's bad when you're sitting there with empty water glasses, staring at your empty plates, just waiting for the bill to arrive. When the bill came, no attempt had been made to lessen the blow from the bad service. We were charged full price for everything. Most restaurants will at least give you free beverages if they've fucked up. My friend ended up having to talk to the manager about the poor service. He gave us 50 percent off of the bill after my friend told him what a poor experience we'd had at the restaurant. If you don't want your dining experience to turn into a fiasco, skip Bravo Cucina Italiana. The food, decor, and surrounding areas are mediocre, and the service is poor.
(1)Eric C.
I went to eat for lunch and had a great time. The food is very good and the staff/atmosphere were both excellent. My only complaint is that they seated us in the back when the place almost empty (early lunch).
(4)Haroun K.
The outdoor mall is a nice place to walk around and shop, but this restaurant is on par with Olive Garden, not great, not bad. I am not familiar with the other Italian restaurants in Rochester Hills/Auburn Hills besides Lelli's, but if there is nothing else that is out of this world and affordable, Bravo is an ok option. The tiramisu was kind of underwhelming, though.
(3)Kit S.
The Salmon Salad at Bravo is a favorite of mine. We enjoy going here in the summer when we can eat outdoors. It's relaxing and the food is good. They also make a good apple martini.
(3)mark e.
Great service, great food. Italian flare at reasonable prices. Beer list was weak and nothing on tap. Liquor selection was standard with a few mid-level liquors. Decent wine list but no knowledge of wines. Kid's pizza was good size and homemade, very nice. Appetizers were well proportioned and tasty. I had pasta pomodoro w/ chicken. Perfect portion and quite tasty, perhaps a little safe. They had very nice cuts of meat, NY strip was huge and cooked properly. Nice place to go if you are at this outdoor mall but I don't know if I would travel too far for the experience.
(3)Donnie S.
Service was marginal, food was below average. Won't go back. If you're thinking it'll be like Carraba's, it isn't. Carraba's is the standard for which judge all "chain" Italian places against, and this place comes up woefully short. Think more Olive Garden, maybe even a notch lower. I won't go back...
(2)Kellie B.
Recommend the generous fried shrimp appetizer, comes with a warm salsa like tomato drizzle. So many shrimp for one appetizer! Bruschetta is great here too. Lasagna is not really all that great. Big airy atmosphere and the house brand is.....Grey Goose! How many times do you see that? **tip**ask for the black napkins instead of white.
(4)Ken G.
Called this restaurant on 11/10/11 and made a reservation for 11/11. When we arrived they had no record of the reservation. No apologies, just "That's OK. We can seat you anyway." Food was good. Three of the four of us had soup and liked it. My main dish was the gnocchi with meat and I enjoyed it. What may keep me from going back to Bravo's was the rushed service. Our main dishes were served less than 10 seconds after we were done with our soup. As we neared the end of consuming the entrees, the dishes were swiped away almost before each of us had put our forks down. My wife had to stop them from taking her dish before she was finished with it. As I was finishing my dish one of the wait staff was actually hovering over me so he could swoop down and take my plate the second I was done. We all felt rushed and pressured to hurry up, eat and leave. It was worse than eating at a diner. If we do decide to try it again I will make sure that explicit instructions are given to the server that we are not in a hurry, do not want to be rushed and would like some time between each course to relax and converse with our friends.
(2)Kendo U.
Great food and service here. The staff was friendly and their recommendations were spot on. Recommendations are the calamari fritti and bruschetta appetizers along with their Italian Wedding Soup... simply delicious! For the main course I tried out their Wood Grilled Double Cut Lamb Chops with Tuscan Mashed Potatoes... MMMM I'll definitely be going back again on my next trip to Detroit. We even ran into Ben Wallace at the bar back when he was still playing for the Pistons...
(4)Mande B.
We've been to Bravo now twice and the food was good. I don't think as Bravo as an overly delish Italian restaurant but the food is fine and the wine is tasty. I will say that the bread and dipping sauce served with the meals is absolutely wonderful and I'd go back simply for a carb and olive oil overload....
