Ordered 5 different dishes this evening, all were delicious! Food was hot, flavorful & service was great. Thank you. Will return.

The staff was friendly, and I do appreciate that, but unfortunately the food was really disappointing. I ordered a margherita pizza and an Italian meatball sub. The pizza did not resemble a traditional margherita at all. It was overloaded with cheese, had barely any sauce, and was covered with large tomato pieces and basil. It honestly just didn't look appetizing or balanced. I respectfully brought it up to the front at the end when no one was around because I simply wanted to provide feedback. I was told that this is "how all margherita pizzas are made," which I found a little insulting and dismissive considering a traditional margherita is actually very simple and sauce-forward. At first it sounded like they might offer a refund, but then I was told they could only offer a gift card because "if they refunded me, they'd have to do it for everyone." That response didn't make much sense to me. I wasn't looking to argue or make a scene, so I just left the pizza there and moved on. Friendly staff, but the food quality and how the feedback was handled left me disappointed enough that I won't be returning. read more

Friendly staff. Seating is outside only. Ordered the Capellini w Carretierra sauce which was good & the cheese ravioli which was lacking flavor. The bread that come with the pasta was good! $42 for 2 pastas & side of bread. They have a lot of options on the menu! read more

The food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the lasagna, and my wife had the salmon dinner--both were fantastic and full of flavor. On top of that, the young man at the front was incredibly kind and welcoming, which is something you don't come across very often these days. Great food and great service--we'll definitely be back. read more

Pros: Carbonara was good, Gnocchi was good, salad was basic but very good value proposition, Cons: Pizza topping prices were a little crazy Chicken Piccata was abysmal. 4 pieces of thin white chicken in a green sludge that tasted as bad as it looked. Overall for a takeaway place pretty decent. Please call ahead or order online the wait is pretty long if you order in person. The boy who took our order seemed nice enough but very clearly uninformed. Inside is standing room only it's as big as a bathroom, the outside with tables seemed like a decent place to have a meal with a date but also the options for drinks weren't great. Like what's leftover at a poorly stocked Walmart checkout refreshments fridge. Didn't see beer but could have been available at the grocery store nearby. read more

Incredible Italian food!! I absolutely love Brava Cucina!! Their pastas and pizzas are all amazing. Perfect for takeout or even catering for a large group. So many great options here, you really can't go wrong. Highly recommend! read more

Omg! Ordered from grubhub could not be happier. The marinara sauce was a little sweet for my husband's taste but I didn't mind it. The gnocchi was amazing. Garlic bread could use some help. I opened up the tiramasu and about died! Sat there enjoying the aroma for a good 10 minutes. Couldn't wait for my first bite and was not disappointed! It was the best coffee flavor I have ever tasted. I don't usually like straight coffee, but omg this was so flavorful. The cream was so decadent. It was still on the edge of frozen but I kind of liked it that way. Lol. Also tried the creme brulee. I have never had a creme brulee I liked. I've tried quite a few cos it's my mom's favorite so she always gets it. This one was superb. The sugar crunch on the top was just right (which is the part I usually steal off my mom's when they do it right which half the time they dont). But the creamy underside wasn't eggs or over textured. It was this perfect creamy caramel goodness that was just heavenly. Thank you Brava cucina for a wonderful culinary experience. I will definitely be ordering again. read more

This is a front with no restaurant.my wife ordered lentil soup and received Minestrone. We asked for the lentil and received it fifteen minutes later after my dinner. It was obviously it had been cooked for several days the lentils were broken . The soup was inedible . My scallops and shrimp linguine was fine except the scallops were fish cubed. The location was in a center not really good for dining. read more

Always great comfort food. I've bought catering trays and their flavors never disappoint. Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, spaghetti and meatballs and pizza "Conca D'Oro" style (pepperoni under cheese instead of on top) are my go to favorites read more

Stopped in to satisfy the pizza craving. This did just that! It's a little whole in the wall To go type spot, has outdoor seating, it is just across johns place and between the smoke shop and fitness center.Cashier was very nice. We chose the build your own pizza, got the medium size ($12.50) 4 toppings at about $2/topping came out to $22 with tax. Waited about 20 mins, and it was ready! Crust was perfect on the outer rim, a little soggy on the middle but still good. I would 100% go back! Prices are reasonable and it's authentic Italian! read more

Food is average. Nothing I would write home about. I've seen them get stuff from Albertsons next door because they were low on supplies. Nothing is wrong with that but they are very very slow in filling orders. Waited nearly 30-35 minutes just for a couple of pasta dishes. read more

I was expecting to like this place. We came based on a FB video that looked incredible. It was a fast food take away. We ordered at the counter and it took 25 minutes to be prepared fresh. Okay. They only had tables outside and we had to ask to get it cleaned. When our order came, they brought me the wrong soup. It took 20 minutes to bring the correct t order, but it was terrible. The food looked nothing like the video. We won't be coming back. read more

Delicious Italian Food. we order takeout regularly and have never been disappointed. Their chicken entrees as well as their eggplant entries. read more

Food is fantastic, fresh, and home cooked. Huge portions. Great neighborhood find! Highly recommend.

I love their fettuccine & clam linguine. They have good size portions. Totally recommend!

Okay this is a unique pizza place. I am always trying to find new pizza places to find and I found this one. It was a little bit of a drive but honestly worth it. Now in front of the store there is not a lot of parking but if you don't mind a short walk they have a ton of parking close by. This location is mostly made for to-go orders. However they do have 3-4 small tables available outside their storefront. If no one is sitting at those tables you can eat there. Honestly it's a very peaceful and relaxing place to enjoy the pizza. Okay so their menu is unique because it has pizza and a ton of pasta. Now I went solely for the pizza. The pizza is a bit heavy and a little floppy. However it is a solid pizza. The toppings are excellent and I know I'll be back! What made this place even better was how incredibly fast the service is and how friendly the staff are. 10/10 recommend this place. read more

Brava Cucina - Margherita Pizza Small 10" Cannelloni Cheese Meatballs Spaghetti Carbonara - Pizza Near Me - Orange, California

Such an awesome find! I was craving pizza and had some time to kill before class. So glad I stumbled across this gem! The gentleman took my order and accommodated my side of Alfredo sauce. He was super nice and professional. There was also this very sweet little lady, she seemed so genuine and was so helpful. When I was paying for the order the gentleman also asked if I am a student. I am so he gave me a discount! What a nice surprise. I was able to sit in the outside seating area. They brought out my food on a cute tray. Even had a candle at the high top I was seated at.. I studied and enjoyed the delicious pizza and Alfredo sauce. By far 10/10 experience. They take Apple Pay, their prices are very reasonable. Student discount. Their pizza box was nicely lined and good quality, no soggy pizza boxes.. Even a tv screen playing sports to the outside. Such a vibe, loved it. read more

We usually get pick-up pizza for Svengoolie Saturday evening. Last week we tried Brava Cucina. Here are some pros and cons: Pros: 1. Pizza and salad are very good. The cheese pizza has a good crust and they use quality cheese. The Caesar salad come with good dressing and the quantity is sufficient for several people. 2. Good location with easy parking. 3. If you choose to phone order, they actually pick up the phone, unlike Dominos. 4. Overall this is a little classier act that the big chains that use the cheapest ingredients. Cons: 1: If you choose to eat there seating is very limited. They are really not set up for diner-in. In essence this is a ghost kitchen. 2. They are a little pricier than the big chains. If you are trying to feed a little league team on the cheep, this may not be the best choice. 3. Ordering pick-up on their web site is difficult. I finally gave up and called in my order. There focus is clearly delivery. All-in-all we will go their again. Cardboard Dominos pizza is getting old. read more

Excellent pizza & pasta! Wish I had tried it sooner! It's such a small restaurant I didn't realize it had a menu packed with old & new favorites! read more

Where do I start?! I frequented their last location in Orange off of Tustin Ave weekly for decades. It was always our families go to for family dinner. Their food is so fresh and authentic! There is just nothing like it. My family was devastated when their last location closed, but we found them yet again. The wonderful customer service and fresh food will keep my family coming back for decades more. I went yesterday and I'm already planning to go back soon. Their spaghetti is our family favorite! Definitely try them if you're on the fence you will not regret it! read more

I still love this place but unfortunately the quality isn't quite the way it was, at least where delivery is concerned. Twice I ordered cheesy bread and I got garlic bread. Last time I ordered the spaghetti, it was basically swimming in water. I still love the food but it's gone a bit downhill. read more

We ordered the pizza Bianca with chicken instead of bacon, and the Margarita pizza and they both were delicious, full of flavors and lots of toppings. The crust was delicious. Next time we want to try the barbecue chicken pizza. If you are looking for a delicious pizza, We highly recommend this restaurant. We have tried the meat lasagna and that was also delicious. It is not a sit down restaurant, we usually order over the phone and pick up. read more

Ordered the eggplant parmigiana with meat sauce. The meal included pasta. Unfortunately, we couldn't eat the eggplant as it was swimming in grease and/or cooking oil. We tried to save our dinner (especially as it took 1-1/2 hours to get it) by skimming the grease and blotting with paper towels. The grease won. At first, we thought it might be the meat sauce that was causing the grease issue. But, no. The pasta also had meat sauce and had hardly any grease. Thank heavens because that was our dinner. We concluded the eggplant was causing the over abundance of oil. Such a shame and waste of food. On the plus side, the pasta was properly cooked and the sauce on the pasta was delicious. We do hope they fix the grease/oil issue. read more

The food is delicious at Brava Covina. We have tried it half a dozen times in the last 4 months. Best Italian food to go. eggplant pa, chicken scallopini, meat balls, sweet spicy penne. Pizza, all delicious. Lentil soup Soup. 5 star read more

I have not been excited to write a five star review more than now!! We had a very hungry, tired and stinky Ragnar team that needed to eat. Pulling up Yelp and this amazing gem showed up. There were six of us and we all ordered something different. There was absolutely nothing that we ordered that wasn't amazing. The lentil soup that was just made, pizza, daily special of chicken lasagna- the best - pasta and salads!! The garlic bread was also spot on. One of our teammates was so in love with the marinara she wanted to do shots with it!! In addition to the food, Mark treated us all with amazing service. From the minute we ordered until the minute he packaged up our leftovers his attitude and promptness was superb. Five stars is hard to gain in my book, but when your food, environment and service were all amazing it warrants a five star !! We can't wait to try their other location at our next visit and we will definitely make sure to stop and see Mark!! read more

Friendly service, great food, good portion sizes. We like the spicy penne, lasagna, and the white pizza for the win!

Passed by Brava numerous times and always thought to myself... "I gotta try this place out". I'm in the shopping center regularly. So last night we decided to try it out for the first time. I ordered a couple pizzas. One for the kids, half pepperoni & sausage the other half just cheese. The other Pizza was a vegetarian that I built. We also ordered a small salad on the side. Let me start by saying wow! The dough was light, flavorful, and crispy. The pizzas were cooked perfectly. The toppings were very fresh on my vegetarian. My only issue was that the jalapeños were long strips as opposed to slices. I like the round slices. The sauce on the pizzas was delicious. Not overpowering, but you can definitely taste it. What I like most was the cheese on the pizza. Never had anything like it. It was creamy and did not solidify. Everyone hates when you take a bite of your pizza and the Mozzarella comes off with the bite. lol. No, I worked in the pizza industry for about 10 years. The toppings, including the mozzarella, are very high-quality. The salad was fresh and the small size we ordered was perfect for just my wife and myself. Their Italian dressing was very tasty as well. Would've liked some shredded mozzarella on my salad. Just a recommendation, of course. I happened to have some here so I was happy. Service was very good. I ordered over the phone and it was 100% correct. I was quoted 30 minutes. The pizza had just come out of the oven when I got there. Perfect! The lady at the counter was very professional and nice. She even asked if we needed plates! Don't know many pizza places that do that. Two pizzas and a salad cost us about $50. Definitely worth it. Seating is very limited. One 2-top inside and I believe three or four 4-top tables outside. read more

I have been eating at this location for five years and I absolutely love it. I think their pizza is incredibly delicious, and one of the best pizza locations in Orange County I have eaten at. The meatball sandwich special for lunch is a really tasty treat. I also enjoy their personal pizzas for lunch as well. Amazing quality at a great price. read more

I work across the street and have never eating here. Today I decided to grab some lunch and very glad I did. The best sausage sandwich I have ever had. I got a combo with a salad and drink. Great value. Lots of food and very delicious. Thank you so much. I am glad I came in and will absolutely return. read more
