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.

The service was terrible. 53 min from the time we ordered until we received our food. When we received our food it was cold. 30 min from the time the server said he was going to get a refill on my beverage until I actually received it. If you have the choice pick another place to eat

Alright, I don't care if Bravo's a chain or not. Their food is always on point! Yeah, party in my mouth, ha! Seriously though - all the dishes I've tried so far = ridiculously tasty. SO, I was cravin' italian, so I brought my mom here for a nice lunch. Awesome daughter award, cha-ching. Anywho, we decided to try new dishes for once - we usually get the Chicken Milanese and Shrimp Fra Diavolo - so we got the Sausage Tortelloni and Pasta Woozie. I say "we" because we always share, hardy har har. Both our meals were delicious. The cheese-filled tortelloni were cooked perfectly with chunks of sweet italian sausage and mozzarella. The tomato sauce was just the right amount of spicy - YAY for crushed red pepper flakes! The fresh basil was a delightful touch. The Pasta Woozie was cooked to perfection. Chain restaurants usually pre-cook their noodles and they end up tasting like mush (BLAH!). Yeah, well not Bravo. The fettuccine was served al dente, tossed with creamy alfredo with grilled chicken and spinach. HASHTAG WINNING! I can't recommend this place enough! Like I said before, I know it's a chain and all, but who really cares when the food tastes crazy good. I'm definitely not going to be all pretentious and turn my nose up! Best italian in the area. Poo on you, Siba. After the terrible time I had there last week, I will NEVER go back to your restaurant. Thank goodness for Bravo Cucina.

Slightly hidden off of Rt. 19 in Cranberry Township Bravo shares a small parking lot with a mattress store. If you aren't familiar with this exact location it is very easy to miss the entrance to the parking lot (which I of course did miss). I missed it twice actually. But that is typical for me when I'm trying to find a new place. I came to Bravo for a business lunch and I will say that this is a fairly busy place for lunch but I we were seated right away and the service was quick. I had a chopped salad for starters that was nice. I then ordered a pasta, the Spicy Scallop Marinara, from the lighter menu that was quite filling. Don't get too excited, the "scallops", are not the "big ones" that you might want, but those tiny little scallops. Oh well, for the price and the lower calories, I'd hardly complain. Each table is given a small basket of bread with a tasty dipping oil. I'm giving it three stars only because there is no "WOW" factor here. However, the service was decent and the food wasn't bad, just not great.

We would prefer to not go to chain restaurants, but Bravo's is the one chain we like. Every meal is spot on. Tonight service was exceptional. We have decided the wedding soup needs some work. No chicken, little pasta and not thick enough

I am not one to leave an all negative review but our experience for dinner this evening was less than satisfying. Our server was barely attentive, and the restaurant was not even in full dinner swing yet. She was very rude when my mother ordered a soup and salad as her entree, saying "is that all?!" With a good bit of attitude. By the time out dinner was served, and hour and a half into our "dining experience", we had maybe seen our waitress 3-4 times at this point. While our food did come out hot, it was mediocre at best. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant, overall it was just a poor experience.

I always go into Bravo expecting it to be one of those horrible Italian chain restaurants (you know what I'm taking about!) and then am delightfully surprised. Last night, I wanted mixed drinks and my husband wanted a salad (both strange cravings for us). We settled upon this Bravo close to where we were going to be meeting friends. Our waitress was very young and openly said that she was new to the restaurant, but she was really quite sweet. We received everything promptly, and she really did an A+ job of making sure we were doing all right. Either Bravo has amazing training for new hires or she just has a knack for waitressing. The hubby ordered a salad, and I ordered my favorite simple dish, the Mediterranean Penne. I didn't try the salad, but loved the pasta as usual. We also ordered three drinks between the two of us. I had the White Peach Sangria and the Chocolate Martini and took a couple sips of my husbands Port. Though not cheap, all 3 were very tasty.

Man, this used to be one of my favorite places to eat. Not sure when it started to go downhill. Have had several visits with uncaring, clueless wait staff. Portions have gotten smaller and smaller while the prices keep increasing. Have to ask repeatedly for bread and oil... Sigh. Miss the days when this was a place I looked forward to going to. I now take my hard- earned money elsewhere.
(2)Adela S.
Yummmmy! This place is wonderful, and every single time I've been there it's extremely busy which pretty much says a lot about a restaurant. Whenever I'm in town during a business trip, I make sure that I dine here one time. The food is mouth watering. The Grilled Salmon with roasted red peppers, grilled asparagus, tomatoes, Feta, sweet potatoes, pesto vinaigrette, spinach, balsamic glaze is to die for. I really recommend it to anyone that's picking an entree of the Light Menu. Their deserts are simply delish, too!
(5)Lisa W.
This is an average restaurant that has nice decor but the seating and noise level is like that of a cafeteria. We had made a reservation but felt rushed from the moment we arrived. Ordered the lobster bisque and determined it would have been more aptly named "seafood bisque". Mentioned our disappointment with it and noticed that it was removed from check. Our main entrees lived up to expectation, but overall we were not impressed.
(3)Gray V.
Really good food. Not too rich or creamy but a good yummy balance.

Was visiting my sister for my neice's communion and we had the after communion dinner here. My sister had called ahead and reserved the back private room that seats 13, it was perfect for us. We had 3 kids under the age of 11 and they were able to have fun without bothering the pther patrons. We had 3 waiters and they were very attentive to our needs. The food comes out fast, way to fast for me, I like to relax when out to dinner, but since the kids were starving, I guess it was a good thing. The food was great. Caesar Salad....very good. I ordered the Chicken and Shrimp Scampi, very big portion and tasty. No one in our party complained about the food and we even brought some home. Definatetly recommend!
(4)Sonya H.
Wow!! "Popped" in on a wednesday because I was in town for business and my hotel was across the street. It was $ 5 martini night AND they offer $ 3 appetizers until 7!!! It was packed but the bartender took the time to recommend food and drink without me asking. Love this place.
(5)Sue S.
Very reliable for Chicken Marsala, one of the best I've tasted, and a large portion. My only gripe is it can be crowded and noisy, so come early!
(4)Jake R.
This is the place to eat. We love it! The food is superb, the service is fantastic and the price is good. No matter what you order it will be great. We have been eating here for about 3 years now, never been dissapointed.
(5)Marty W.
Excellent food with large portions at a fair price. Great atmosphere and super service
(5)Natalie Elizabeth M.
Ahh.......... I'm drooling. Bravo is delicious. I had their artichoke & spinach dip (the appetizer i order at every resturant), it was by far the best dip that I have ever had. The shrimp diavlo is also one of my favorites... now i'm hungry :)
(5)Sandy F.
I can't say enough positive things about the recent experience we had when we celebrated my mother's 90th Birthday here. From the moment I called them to discuss the party possibilities, on to the event and menu planning, to the final day and party event, we were well taken care of. Thank you Lauren, Jen, Kim, Heather, Debbie and the rest of the crew that paid special attention to all of the guests throughout the party. We elected to do the Napoli Buffet, which had many food options. Even the presentation was very nice. For the cost, we received top notch food and service. Our family had a wonderful time and many memories of our mother's big event. It was perfect. We also dined there for lunch a few days before the party and that too was a peasant experience. I highly recommend this Bravo location for both events or just a pleasant good affordable meal.

We always stop here for lunch on our way back from visiting my husband's family. As places right off the OH and PA turnpikes go, this is one of the better choices we have found without venturing too far out. BRAVO! is obviously an Americanized chain, but they offer a nice variety of pastas, salads, sandwiches, appetizers, and entrees. Every visit, the food and service have been consistently good. I usually stick with something light - flatbread, salad or soup. The chicken, spinach and bacon flatbread has always been tasty - thin crust with lots of toppings and cheese, not skimpy at all. Last visit I went with the soup and salad combo since they had tomato bisque as their soup of the day. The soup was delicious and creamy without losing that rich tomato flavor. We also shared the Portobello and Boursin Bruschetta. This little appetizer was packed with flavor. I absolutely loved the addition of the Boursin cheese to the garlicky bruschetta. Portions are large - you won't leave hungry. We'll be going back to OH in May so we'll be back for lunch again soon.
(4)Bryce M.
Excellent food, excellent service, and really nice vibe. Their lobster ravioli and cheesecake are delicious. I have been here 6 or 7 times and I have never had a bad meal.
(5)Pete J.
Food is good, service at least tonight was good. I give 2 stars because of the wait. The wait to be seated and the wait for the food. Last trip we waited an hour once seated for our food, party of 4. Tonight we waited a little more than a half hour for same.
(2)Gary R.
I know a lot of people like Bravo. I am NOT one of them. Not sure why they do because I don't like this place and never have. How's that for a review? Been there many times (you'd think I'd learn my lesson and not go back!) but have officially written it off as even a consideration. I love Italian food but I'd rather eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on stale bread than eat here. There are a few places I feel like that about (Applebee's is another). Never had anything I liked here, never had anything I would order again, don't like the atmosphere, the parking, or frankly, anything about this place. BLAH!
(1)Christina B.
Chain Italian fare but a definite step up from the likes of the Olive Garden. Try the roasted short rib ravioli, it's incredible. Their salads are out of this world due in large part to mixed baby greens, delicious dressings, and Gorgonzola cheese. Open kitchen is a plus and a bit of a drawback as you see the cooks pulling salad greens out of a usually wide open cooler, and you hear the typical kitchen banter, both good and the not so great language.
(4)Gary H.
I've been here twice so far. Both times the food was fantastic. The service was very good as well. The only draw back in my opinion, and the only reason for 3 stars, is the price. I felt the prices were high but I'm known to be a little cheap.
(3)J D.
I have never been here for dinner but I did attend a training at this location and they provided us with lunch. I thought that all of the food was above average and I would highly consider coming here for a meal. I would suggest that they work on their set up for training because while the space was large, the sound was mediocre and the one television which was supposed to show the power point was not working. I found that the staff standing behind the curtain may have believed that the curtaining was soundproof because we could hear everything that they were talking about which slightly took away from the training.
(3)Gerald M.
Our favorite Bravo. Greeted/seated immediately. Prompt visit from our server, Sean, who was on top of things during our entire visit. Portobello and Boursin Brushetta was excellent... and my wife and I enjoyed our Romano-Crusted Chicken Salads... and the beer and wine as well. Tip: we are having grilled fillets at home tonight. Ate the chicken and a large part of the salads. Saved the extra salad to have with our steaks. (Thanks Bravo!!) Service and ambiance were nice. Manager said, "Hi." Return to Bravo in Cranberry, when we live in Murrysville? Do you really need to ask?
(5)Rikki M.
I stopped here on New Year's day and there was no wait to sit down. This was pretty nice being most of the time I drive past there is always people waiting outside for a table. The place is small inside. They have a small bar and patio and also have an open kitchen where you can see them cook your meal. The drink menu is simple as is the regular menu. They offer a lunch menu with a couple different items on it than the dinner menu. The smaller menus and quality of food are what sets this place aside from the other chain italian joints. The tiny rosemary breads that they bring out before your meal is enough to keep me going back to this place. They were delicious as was the dipping sauce they provided too.

I planned a baby shower for a work friend at this Bravo! location and it couldn't have gone better. If you have 12 people or less you can reserve a very private room with space for a gift table and cake table. I can't say enough about how great the service was at this location both leading up to the event and during the event. If you book an event you will work with a regional person who books for several Bravo!'s. They are very helpful in planning the perfect menu for your size, especially if you choose a limited menu like we did. There are no extra charges for booking rooms or limited menus. Our menu included brunch and lunch items, with most people choosing brunch selections of steak and egg benedict and stuffed french toast. Both of these dishes were delicious. The portions were generous and everything tasted fantastic. The service was the best part, with several waitresses available to us making sure we had absolutely everything we needed. A special note, we had a few people cancel last second, and the staff did not charge us for their meals even though you sign a contract prior to the event with the number of guests. We were prepared to pay for these meals, but the fact that they made the exception convinced me that I wouldn't hesitate to plan another event at this location. I highly recommend this Bravo! location for similar events and/or their delicious brunch options!
(5)Daniel B.
If you need "safe" food, Bravo! is a safe choice. I've only been disappointed at a Bravo! once. Not this visit or even this location. It was the calamari appetizer, which is usually very good. It was mushy and under cooked. They refunded the price when I mentioned it. They did so with courtesy and apologies. Today, I had a lunch special chicken & bacon salad. Huge and delicious! Would have had a picture if Verizon service were better. Sorry. Bravo! is consistent and the food is worth the price with ample portions. Nice variety to satisfy any standard Italian craving. Make sure you get a frequent diner card too. Makes subsequent meals (after five) cheaper still. Just a hair above Carrabba's on my scale.

I visited this place twice in the past 2 days. I sat at the bar for dinner both nights. Last night, I was a rock star. As soon as my drink went to 1/4, they were asking if I wanted to fill it up. I ordered the bar bites (the best), and they brought each one out separately so they would stay nice and toasty/fresh. Dinner service was also prompt and courteous that night. Tonight, I was more like Kenny G. performing for a stadium full of teenie boppers; uncool and unloved. I had to do the "index finger in the air", "over here" to notify them I was ready to order. My drink went down to E and stayed there for a good while before I had to flag them back down to let them know I needed another. It shouldn't be this hard at the bar folks, you're less than 10 feet away at all times. Soooo, 4 stars for last night's solid performance and only 2 for tonight's. 4 star is the average if I'm doing the math like momma taught me :)
(3)Lauren P.
Had the house salad with grilled chicken from the skinny menu. The outside of the chicken had good flavor but the inside was a little dry. The salad itself was a mix of greens too much iceberg lettuce for my liking but a good mixture of lettuce olives feta and onions. Overall pretty good. Wouldn't mind trying the pizza or pasta when I had more time. Sat at the bar service was decent not overly friendly but had everything I needed.
(4)G T.
Very good. A little over priced but worth it.
(3)John H.
Great meal, just as I would expect from an upscale chain. Lobster ravioli was very good and the wedding soup was excellent, service quick, food cooked well and presentation perfect. Much better then The Nest in Jeanette, Pa. Recommend to anyone looking for Italian in the Cranberry area.
(4)Doug P.
I had the Grilled Salmon. It came with asparagus and potatoes and a few pieces of bread. Everything was great.
(4)Paul S.
We arrived early as we were returning from Pittsburgh after a Doctor's appointment. At around 5 the place was almost empty. They offered us a Wednesday night Martini special of $5. All the martinis looked good but we decided not to imbibe. The wait staff was very attentive and brought bread and dipping oil. The bread was a little stale but tasty overall. Our food came amazingly fast. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo and my wife had a pasta with sun dried tomatoes and feta cheese. Both dishes were very good. My fettuccine had a good portion of chicken included and the sauce was excellent. It was a nice place to stop and get a good meal at a reasonable price. Nothing special but a fun place overall.

Bravo Restaurant review Our visit to Bravo Restaurant restaurant was both pleasant and dismal. The dismal aspects involved the handicap parking, the hostess attitude regarding a distressed complaint, inadequately trained server, quality of food, and speed of serving. The pleasant aspects included the sensitivity of the hostess to special needs, the pleasantness of the server, and some of food. On the day of this visit the weather had blessed us with high humidity and temperatures of 97-98 degrees and we were very hungry. My mother is 94 years old and, not surprisingly, physically impaired. I parked in the designated handicap space and helping my mama with her walker, approached the entrance doors nearest my car only to find a sign directing us to the "main entrance". My mom pushed her walker in the sweltering heat ever more slowly, and after a rest stop to sit on the seat of her walker, finally made it through the doors to the restaurant. Let me mention here that I could not briefly park in front of those doors to help her gain easy access because that space was occupied by a woman yakking on her cell phone while waiting for her take-out meal. The restaurant obviously valued their own convenience over the distress of their customers with physical problems. Bravo is located on a corner and there were parking places close to the door, none of which, not one, was for the handicapped. I was very upset at my mama's distress. Of course I voiced my concerns to the hostess who just stood there smiling brightly and not saying a word about Mama's discomfiture: no murmur of sympathy for the situation; no apology for the problem; no mention of reporting the problem to management; nothing. She led us to a table and did turn to say, "would you like to be seated close to the door?", an issue sometimes ignored by greeters and an awareness we truly appreciated. The server was evidently pretty new to serving and was friendly and seemed eager to please. She was attentive to details of any questions about the menu and checked with the bartender on details of drink ingredients. When she served our beverages, however, there was a black particle on the inside of the tumbler, about an half-inch below the rim. With her bare forefinger, the server reached inside the glass and deftly flicked that offending speck away. After complaining about the parking situation and asking for details on their use of high fructose corn syrup, I felt I had used up my proper allotment of issue voicing and decided the alcohol in the beverage would kill any germs, so kept concerns on cleanliness to myself. Until now. When it was time to order Mama had lost her appetite from the physical exertion, the heat, the distress, and ordered only soup. I decided on a tossed salad and the spaghetti and meatballs with some trepidation because in my experience meatballs vary widely in flavor and quality of ingredients. Being hungry and opted to give them a try. Another server plopped down our allotment of bread and dipping oil/herbed blend. The bread was okay but not truly Italian and was served warm, but the dipping oil is probably one of the best flavors I have tasted in that genre. The salad was overdressed and very oily, the ingredients mostly fresh. Before I was able to finish eating the salad the server arrived with our food. My mama found her Italian Wedding soup to be watery (don't they TASTE their food?), but my meal was very tasty and seemed to be devoid of excess fat. The server came visited our table to see we were satisfied again, and again, and again. A manager also dropped by but I was in no mood to discuss particulars and waived the opportunity. Nothing personal. I just wanted to relax and eat my meal. The server asked about dessert but not whether we wanted coffee. In the heat of that day I doubt many were in the mood for coffee. The dessert tray included all heavy and sweet items and no fresh fruit. With a menu of often heavy food how difficult can it be to serve one variety of fresh fruit? Mama wanted the peach/apple pastry and asked me to share it with her. The pastry was served on a single plate with a fork and a spoon for each of us. I divided the pastry and transferred my portion to my bread and butter plate. The pastry was warm, tasty, and satisfying but lacked the pleasant tanginess incumbent to fresh ingredients. And no wonder: the peaches were canned! Now, here is a restaurant with its values in place. Profit first. On leaving I had Mama sit inside while I retrieved my car and nudged ever so close to another vehicle waiting for take-out so I could lessen the distance. So far as American Italian food goes, Bravo hovers around average. The ambience includes a crowded, noisy seating against an above average backdrop. Will I give this place another try? Maybe. Maybe not. My Mama? "I really enjoyed it the first time. And the second time. It's not any different from many of the other ones, so probably."

We recently tried Brunch at Bravo. B. J. had the Crab Cakes and Eggs. The jumbo lump crab cakes were delicious and served atop sauteed spinach and artichokes, paired with poached eggs, Hollandaise sauce and fresh strawberries. Jim wasn't much of a fan of the artichokes, but thought everything else was amazing. I had the Breakfast Panini, it was served on a griddled honey wheat roll filled with scrambled eggs, cheese and applewood smoked bacon and served with strawberries, too. I also had a bellini which was served frozen and very delicious.
(5)Molly Z.
The waitress is having a really hard time allowing us to order wine. Our id clearly states were over 21... Bravo is a great restaurant, good food and good drinks. I never really have had a complaint until now. The poor food runner couldn't keep his tables straight, and I give him props for trying his best and I know how it is to have the patio open without tables, it can get a little rough around the edges. Speaking of rough around the edges our waitress, an older woman was all about her OTHER tables, her OLDER tables, I'm young I get it, but jeez la weeze women all I want is some dang alcohol! And she really wasn't havin it. When we finally got her attention that we wanted an adult beverage she gave us a lecture about how they have to check ID's. Were young, were of age, and we hear it all the time, I mean we had our ID's out prior to asking waiting for her to give us a chance to order something. Other than our waitress barely paying any attention to us, the food like always is great. No complaints here, just give the young-ins some love sometimes.
(3)Ian L.
My family loves going here and can't ever get enough of the bread with the oil dipping sauce. Sometimes we getting a little too filled with the bread and can't enjoy our meals as much as we should lol. Their Pasta Bravo is always a good choice, its a nice creamy sauce that will also go well with the bread :) Plus, if you're feeling a little bored, you can always ask the waitress for some crayons and draw on the table :P
(5)Katie M.
In Pittsburgh for a wedding, and stopped by Bravo! for lunch. The portions were generous and the service was efficient. Nothing outstanding about the quality of the food, but I would go again.
