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.

Fantastic Italian dinner! Staff was great, portions were large, and the food quality was great. Wonderful place!

My wife and I had lunch Thursday afternoon at Bravo. Clint was our server and was great. Perfect. My wife had a pizza, I had lasagna . Good. Desert was cheesecake and a blackberry tort. Very good. Going back for lunch tomorrow. By the way they have homemade lemonade, very good, and free refills.

Went with a delightful business group. Service/server, bread, cleanliness, ambiance, promptness, basically everything was on par! But the food was mediocre. Pasta was a little soggy. Not bad. But not quite a 4. But everything else was amazing, which personally to me is equally as important or even more! Solid experience.
(3)Kelly O.
Food and service were both mediocre, felt very much like any chain Italian restaurant. I found it a little disturbing that they had Samuel Adams Oktoberfest on tap...and we were there in mid December. Won't be back anytime soon.

We had a reservation for12 at 6:30. Car trouble caused a few of the party to be late. It was not a problem for the staff. The waitresses were the best. We were given time for everyone to arrive and not made to feel rushed. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. It's a bit pricey but well worth it. My family likes going there; it's a bit special without being presumptuous.

On the spur of the moment we headed here for dinner. I'd had lunch here a couple of times and it was good but dinner is so far above good. I ordered the Bravo pasta and it was delicious. Chicken was julienned and you could cut it with your fork. My husband had sausage tortiloni and he loved it. My only complaint and it isn't enough to take off a star is that salad is not included. I think $3.99 for such a small salad is not worth it. The service was excellent and the place is really very nice. We'll be coming back.

We had a party of 8 at 6pm on a Saturday. Our server was busy, but not in the weeds busy. Our drinks were seriously 15 minutes between refills. Kids did the pasta thing, was ok. I ordered a 14 oz strip, was a tad overcooked and not the best cut of meat. However my buddy ordered a filet medium and got it cooked dead. no red. which led to him sending it back and it came out perfect 25 minutes later. we were all done. Overall the server seemed frustrated because she put the wrong order in and it came our overcooked. the replacement steak also was wrong but good nonetheless. It was okay but the manager removed the steak from the bill but it did not help the dining experience.

I like Bravo. I like Mentor. But Bravo of Mentor left a sour taste. Don't get me wrong; the food and wine was good (per usual) and the waitress was perfectly nice. But the hostess?....I don't know, maybe it was an off day. Maybe some customer had been horrible to her earlier and she was recovering. But the hostess was clearly disgruntled from the moment our interaction began (no, it was not 5 minutes before closing, or anything like that!). I asked about a table and she walked away, came back interacted with others....and when I finally asked about the table, she acted like I was being pushy. Communication is key, people!!! Especially in the service industry. This is easy stuff. I know businesses probably don't read these, but if not for this easily preventable interaction, I would have enjoyed my time there.....very unlikely I'll be back there at this point.
(2)Tom D.
I wouldn't normally hand out a 5 star this easily, but when you get that perfectly cooked filet and NO seasoning is needed - you know it's GREAT! Did I mention how fantastic the steak was and how perfectly it was cooked. Look - if you are a steak lover and you want your steak cooked perfect - the chef on duty this night was the master! The sides were good as well, but the desert - well - no one does it better then my son, but this place nailed the tiramisu! Staff were all great to the 12 of us, serving everyone at the same time and the value was again - well within company policy. I would return to this place without question!
(5)Mallory K.
Could be better, but could be way worse. Eggplant parm is mediocre...the linguine that comes with it is kind of bland. Meh. However, the last time I was here I tried the toasted ravioli app...so good! The horseradish cream dipping sauce was awesome. I may just stick with this and a salad the next time I go. Service is always slow. The last two times I've dined here it literally took about 10 minutes to have a server greet our table. Yikes.
(3)Michael C.
Food was okay, but overall service was quite slow for a place that was not really busy.
(3)Magdalena S.
I typically don't like to complain, but this one was a true disappointment. I love Italian food, wine and everything Italian. This one screams: chain! The food was below average - it seemed like every entry had the same sauce, not homemade by any means...

My wife & I usually go here on special occasions or when family are in town; and we haven't been let down yet. The house chopped salad in excellent; and the oil served with the bread is delicious (but a bit scarce!) I tend to have the chicken marsala which is always great. My wife likes the penne pasta; and I usually cannot resist their tiramisu which is one of the best I've ever had! Servers always nice and friendly. Only ever had 1 issue there and it had to do with a shift change/lack of communication which left our table uncovered. manager comped both meals so that was OK. We're also members of their rewards program; and get regular deals and free meals for birthdays etc. Would highly recommend if you're in the Mentor area.
(4)Lisa O.
This is my spot nice and quiet. Love the drinks, salad, bread and oil they serve. Decent amount of patio seating. I do wish they had booths but still love the place. Staff is always friendly.
(5)Matt W.
Bar bites are the best and the bar staff is great
(4)Debra L.
On a road trip from Wisconsin to Maine and needed a place close to the hotel for dinner. Took a chance on BRAVO! and could not have made a better choice. The wait staff was friendly, knowledgable, and just the right amount of attentive. Then came the food... WOW. I had the eggplant parm which is a particular favorite of mine and it was the best I have ever had. The pasta was homemade.. at least it tasted like it was... and the portion was just right.
(5)John K.
I should have known! Chain restaurants suck! Took the parents here for lunch on our Christmas trip. What an awful experience. First was seated at table that was ready to fall apart, told the hostess, went back to table waiting for hostess to switch tables, she never did come back to change tables. We picked our own table. Now onto the waitress......she was very nice, but very inexperienced. Had to order twice, beg for more coffee, food was cold, overcharged, she was MIA most of the time. I should have gone the olive garden...lol!
(1)Matt M.
The service was great but the food was a mess. The gnocchi was so overcooked it was almost liquid. If you like great service, overcooked food, and paper table cloths then this is the place to be.

We called to place a take out order and I ordered a pasta carbonara. They told me it would be 15-20 minutes. As I pulled in I got a call from a host saying they made a mistake and don't have a carbonara (why the lazy manager has a host fixing problems with guests is beyond me). I was frustrated and asked how it takes 15 minutes to figure out you don't even carry the product. Once he tripped over his words for a minute he put the manager on the phone. She said it will be taken care of and get the pasta out in about 5 minutes. I went in and went about 8 minutes without being greeted while sitting at the bar. The staff making it obvious that I was the angry customer but no one acknowledging my presence. Finally after about 15 minutes the manager comes over with the food(10 minutes after she promised, keep in mind the restaurant looked to be about 15% occupied). She came over said they didn't have the item and that was it no sincerity at all, almost as if I was a bother to her when I showed her the item on the online menu. I was furious after that, I sincerely hope one of the Dooley brothers reads this and gets that team together. I've been to other chains and had a pleasant experience, not like the one today. I did not eat the meal due to my frustrations so I cannot comment on the food. I just can't fathom how someone could literally not give a damn after so many mistakes in an 20 minute interaction.

The bar bites are the best appetizer deal on town and every one of them taste amazing. Sit at the bar and make a meal out of it
(5)Phil A.
They knocked the ball out of the park and into the lake, bravo! to BRAVO! restaurant. Bartender Matt for lunch knew the menu inside and out, knew his dishes, they put cucumbers in my salad and I requested none but the service and meal was so dynamite this is still 5 stars. Nobody should be going to Smoking Bones next door, they should be coming here. Feel like BBQ? Go to BRAVO! Italian. Dynamite chicken parm dish and salad, just dynamite. My focrotchia bread was dry but this place was so good result: 5 stars.
(5)Tom D.
I am always amazes by how great bravo is and I don't go there enough.. They have a great happy hour where their bar bites are only $4 a piece and you can find a glass of wine for $5. Not a bad deal as the food is exceptional and they have wonderful flatbreads. I hidden secret in Mentor that is worth a try.
(4)renee p.
Bravo's bread with olive oil for dipping is DELICIOUS! The service is always good, the atmosphere and lighting are wonderful and the food is always delicious. Their ceasar salad with blackened salmon is so good as is their marinara sauce. The lobster ravioli is also to die for. Yum!!!
(4)Linda G.
My husband and I frequent the Mentor Bravo and we feel like family. I love the servers! We always sit at the bar tables and usually come on Friday night. Our favorite servers are Tessa and Janeen. The food is always consistently good.
(5)Claire S.
Bravo's is my M-I-L's favorite restaurant. Weird 'cause she only orders the salad. She's missing out on the Crispy Shrimp Napoli which can be ordered during dinner service as a full appetizer or in a slightly smaller portion as a "bar bite" for less than half the price. I also love the Grilled Chicken Chopped Salad and Petit Filet and Grilled Shrimp. Yes, this is a chain. However, the quality, portion size, and wait staff are consistently better than Olive Garden. Some of the problems encountered by other reviewers should not be discounted. It probably makes sense to first try this restaurant M-Th to avoid a long wait to be seated or over-crowding. However, with reservations it's still a good pick any day for small or large groups since there is a broad selection of soups, salads, fish, meat, poultry, and pizza. We recently hosted an intimate graduation party. Everyone ordered something different and everyone was delighted. The only complaints were about an overly-dry bread pudding and the caramelized sugar on the cheese cake. Skip dessert and head down the road for pie at Baker's Square, and everything should be peachy! For anyone who's still on the fence, consider stopping by between 4:00-5:30, grab a seat in the bar area. Try a $5 drink special and order off the bar menu. You'll spend $10 plus a tip and you'll have a better idea whether or not you want to try the dining room another time.

I'm giving this restaurant 3 stars as an average. We used to frequent here regularly, for dates, take out and even family gatherings. The food is always good. Their tomato bisque is something to write home about. However, the take out portions have become a ripoff. We gave take out two tries from them before writing this review. The portions are tiny and I literally had three cut up pieces of chicken in my pasta and two halved cherry tomatoes. The boyfriends dish wasn't any better, completely missing the cheese. We measured his pasta portion and it wasn't even 1 Cup. We are used to having leftovers to take to work for lunch the next day. Even with an appetizer, salads and bread we had no leftovers. We will stick to eating in the restaurant for family meet-ups. Their staff is enjoyable and the restaurant is always clean.
(3)William T.
A disappointing meal at this highly recommended restaurant. Actually the food was pretty good but the service ruined our meal. For the prices charged the service should be proportionally trained. She was slow with the food, slow to refill our drinks, botched the check a couple of times. We won't be returning. It's a shame to pay that much for a dinner and leave aggravated. You go out on the weekends to get away from aggravation not to see it at your table.
(2)John B.
A great place for good food in a nice atmosphere, without being stuffy, and the servers are very friendly. The perfect place for a night out without having to drive to Cleveland.
(5)Nicole S.
Had the Chef's special lunch salad, awesome. Our waitress was not great but not bad.
