Honestly, the server we had was awesome, friendly and efficient. My sister's and I had a reservation for 12 it was our niece's birthday. We were seated by the door, the restaurant was freezing cold, and seating us by the door made us even colder. Our elderly mother was very uncomfortable from being cold. She then ordered a cup of coffee, and was told that the coffee wasn't available. The first server we had before she said she was leaving for the day, and Victor became our server, she stated that the coffee machine wasn't working. After everyone ordered, one of my sisters sent back her pasta dish because it was cold and the pasta was hard. Many of us order the pasta wozzie and the fettucine noodles were hard and the pasta was dry. One of my nephew's ordered the shrimp scampi and it was horrible. Food was cold and the chicken in the pasta woozie dishes had a funny taste. We weren't even sure if the chicken was real chicken. Total bill was $432.00 ridiculous because the food was horrible. We will never eat here again. What an awful dining experience spent on our niece's 23rd birthday! read more

Our family went to Bravo and had the absolute worst experience ever. Our server greeted us 8 minutes after we were seated. When he took our orders, he kept asking "is just water ok?" for the beverages. He did bring us water, but it was room temp with no ice. The bread was brought to our table 29 minutes after we were seated. It was so extremely hot in the restaurant and all of us were uncomfortable. We decided we will not eat there again. read more

Have been to Bravo for many years and never had an issue unfortunately today was filled with them. Arrived and restaurant was not busy asked for a table said it would be 15 minutes. While waiting for the table witnessed the manager eating behind the bar and then proceed to pick his teeth with his fingers and never washed his hands. I then watched him pour our water glasses which was pretty disgusting. He then apologized for the air not working in the restaurant. There were fans so it wasn't too hot. Our server seemed to be the only server in the restaurant and he was running around like crazy. The food was mediocre....the special pasta had a sauce that was like water and another dish for our table had huge basil stems. So disappointing as I had always liked Bravo but not sure I'd come back after today. read more

So so bad! So bad !! Bravo get your stuff together!!!!! You can be good and you are so so bad!!!! The poor bartender Chris was overworked and about to cry!!!! Shame on your management !!!!!! I ordered a $38 filet and it was 2 bites (see photo). I also asked for mushy (softer) asparagus and I should have just ordered ranch dressing for the raw veggies! Guys - (I'm sure men!) get it together- I was there with many professional women and this was downright embarrassing read more

Solid meal. If you're looking for Italian food a step up from Olive Garden but around the same price range, Bravo is a good choice. We really enjoyed our meal, the fresh bread they bring you is delicious and the wine selection was good. Our waiter was super attentive as well, and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere! read more

Typically I like Bravo but I always get the same thing. Chicken Marsala which is very goog. Tonight decided to try something different so ordered the pork chops. They were incredibly dry. I mean REALLY dry. Just an FYI read more

it's too pricey for what it is. it's quite flavorless and the restaurant is not what you would expect from a restaurant thats charging as much as it is. I don't have anything to really complain about the service however its setting was extremely disappointing and not what it seems, at all. I would give it 5 stars but the setting is just disappointing and so is the food, it's flavorless. read more

This was my first visit here. I was thrown off that an employee was casually sitting on the couch where customers would wait to be seated. There is no split between the kitchen and dining area. Most of the employees at the time I dined were younger. You could see the bar staff and hostess walking back to the kitchen staff and going to talk and laugh like they were not on the clock working. Made it distracting to enjoy my meal as again stated, there's no split so it was very noisy. Dined in around 3:30pm and it was not busy yet. I feel as though the food took a while to come out. Food was mediocre. The saving grace was the free bread/oil and appetizers. Shrimp would've been better if it came out hot and the chicken parm was so dry. There was absolutely no sauce with the noodles. Server was working his butt off. Attentive to refills. Probably wouldn't come back or recommend to others. There are better chain "Italian" restaurants. read more

I ordered take out from this location today. The food was good but I picked it up at the time the website said it would be ready. It was already cold. They also didn't provide plastic utensils even though I added them to the order. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal but I'm staying at a hotel and salad is difficult to eat without a fork. More attention to detail would have been greatly appreciated. read more

Great chicken and eggplant parm, the service was excellent. Was there for a late lunch

Food was "ok" service was awful...traveling for work..sat at the bar..only one there...bartender seemed annoyed upon me walking in..never checked back after food was delivered until it was time for the check...he was too busy at the end of the bar on his cell phone to care about anything else read more

Went there as we do for the last few years to celebrate my deceased brother's birthday. The waiter was the rudest person I come across in a restaurant setting. The fillet we ordered for 42.00 was smashed so thin it looked like a hockey puck and was over cooked. We waited for a least a half hour for the waiter to come back to give us a check. I would never go back again. read more

My first time visit was awful out waiter Brian was a complete jerk, he would throw rings onto the table constantly had an attitude and when we where ready to order he told us he had other tables and we had to wait. When we weee finally able to order our drinks seemed very irritated, he honestly gave me and my table anxiety and fear to order form this man. He was very disrespectful and when my table was ordering different drinks he repeated twice "is there anything else I can get so I don't have to keep walking around" even my mother was appalled by the service (she's a very patient woman) Although the food was splendid i orded the lasagna it's was amazing the flavors would dance on your tongue Bravo, no more like exit stage left. read more

We came here for lunch and the place was pretty full. The location is in a mall, but we entered from the outside and I did not see whether there was a direct entrance from the mall. We were seated immediately at a corner table. The service was great as our drinks were kept full and we were repeatedly asked if we needed anything. They brought out some bread with dip that was decent. A bit too buttery for me. As for my meal, I got the chicken parmigiana and it wasn't pretty good. It was a decent size for a lunch portion and came with lots of pasta. The pasta itself was too cheesy for me though. Scale back on the cheese and I think you have a winner! read more

Made a last min order for was absolutely amazing. I would honestly prefer to go and dine in next time I chose to eat here.

It was a nice quiet lunch. They have masks and separating tables. I had the spaghetti and meatballs I enjoyed it . The meatballs were good size and soft while the noodles are angel hair . The bread sticks are warm and soft and have herbs and a tomato tasting oil that are yummy.The ambiance is more business casual or dinner outing but you can wear your casual clothing also.Maybe a good date night place. read more

I went here for the first time recently and the food was complete garbage. Not sure how they're legally allowed to serve and sell frozen Stouffer meals at 3 times the price you can get it at Pick n Save. There was more flavor in my water than there was in any of the dishes I had tried, and I tried 4 total main dishes (went as a group) plus a dessert. The staff was great, they just don't have good food. 0/5 can get the same meal in the frozen section for $10 cheaper. read more

We had heard good things from friends about this place, so we decided to check it out and I am sure glad we did. We started off with the shrimp bruschetta as an appetizer and oh my gosh, it was AMAZING. Easily the best bruschetta I have ever had. They also brought us fresh bread and oil to the table as well, which was delicious and a nice touch. I got the lobster ravioli and it was decent. Nothing overly spectacular but good. My boyfriend got the Pasta Bravo and said it was amazing and ate every last bite. We took the caramel cheesecake to go and it was simply delicious. Great experience all around. We will definitely be going back. read more

We celebrated my stepdad's birthday at BRAVO as a group and quite enjoyed our visit. The staff were attentive and accommodating (even closing curtains without us asking to build the surprise), and we never had to ask for a drink refill. The food itself was typical Italian, and the prices and portions were fairly reasonable. Given the option, this wouldn't be my first choice however as I'm still partial to Maggiano's as the Alfredo is AMAZING and you can eat one dish and get one to take home for free. The atmosphere here also felt a little generic, though I give props to the clean bathroom (which is surprisingly small). read more

The first thing we noticed was the stinky sewer smell upon entering. Half our party was already seated so we had to stay. I ordered the Pasta bravo. The chicken tasted microwaved and the noodles were chewy. The meal was clearly just a reheated plate. The service was poor too. It took forever for the waitress to acknowledge us. 20 min before she brought out bread and She never refilled our waters either. This place was so disappointing. Cheap tasting, overpriced, microwaved garbage. read more

My wife ordered tenderloin steak and I ordered chicken parmigiana. My wife's steak was very small and charred! Her mashed potatoes were instant and her asparagus tasted strange and inedible. My brandy old fashioned sweet was small and overpriced! Very disappointed with the whole experience and would not recommend! read more

We had a wonderful bartender attentive and polite. However a server picking up drinks at the bar was rude and starting complaining about his tables to us. The manager to his credit defended his server, however unwarranted. It certainly was an unwelcoming experience it did not surprise me it was near empty a Friday. night. read more

Honest review, HIGHLY IMPRESSED. We were out celebrating our friend's birthday but also had to eat quick before going to a play. Our waiter Dash was simply outstanding and had a great attitude. The food was incredible. And the atmosphere is upbeat. Originally we were not going to get anything to drink but our server had us salivating over the Malbec. We shared a bottle between two couples and had a really nice time together. read more

The food and service is always good here. My favorite go to dish is the chicken Marsala with green beans.

The Grilled Chicken Chopped was one of the best salads I have ever eaten and I eat ALOT of salads. Also, want to acknowledge our server Brian. So kind, knowledgeable and expedient. He had a good sense of humor and did an outstanding job! Thank you Bravo. Thank you Brian. It was a great dining experience! read more

Horrible!!! I tried taking my family somewhere to eat that was wheelchair accessible and this was not a good option. The place had about 5 customers and we were the only minorities in the restaurant. All the waiters did was stare at us and never came over to take an order. After 25 minutes we left and I requested the Information of the manager. I'm not sure what the problem was but I'm hoping it wasn't our skin color or disability but definitely seems that way. Everyone else had a waiter except for us. Please do better Bravo because this is unacceptable! read more

We went here for Sunday brunch and all ordered pasta dishes. The server was terrific. She was very attentive and always anticipated our needs before we asked for anything. We all enjoyed our food and will return if we're in the area again. read more

Please read to the bottom as this review has been updated after contact with restaurant management!! First let me say that this is not my first visit to this restaurant however it is my first visit in a couple of years. After a long day at the hospital waiting on my dad who had surgery (he's doing fine) we decided to stop for dinner. I do love Italian food and in the past the pasta dishes here have always been quite tasty so I was excited (I usually follow a low carb diet so this was going to be a treat). We started with the bread and dipping oil which was really delicious! Being a food snob, when I see carbonara on a menu with a runny yolk (even tho it's traditionally a raw yolk and here it's cooked), I like to order it. Unfortunately, despite numerous disappointments when ordering carbonara or risotto in restaurants, I ordered it tonight hoping it would be what I expected. It wasn't. My order was a seltzer water, a Bravo chopped salad and the linguine carbonara. The waitress first brought me still water because she couldn't remember my drink order - ok no prob. Then our pastas came out but my salad never made it. As you will see by the pic, the pasta is served with a thin white sauce (which seemed to be the same sauce as mom's fettuccine). This was not a true carbonara and I wish restaurants would stop calling every white sauce dish carbonara when it's really a thinner Alfredo. In addition, the egg on top was not a sunny-side runny but a fried over-hard yolk. Not sure the runny yolk would save the dish but it might have helped. I did flag down the waitress and inform her of my missing salad and bad egg, asking not to be charged for either (the egg was an extra dollar). Then came dessert - we both looked forward to a nice little cannoli. The waitress talked us into this "cannoli sundae". Way not the same thing. Wouldn't order this (especially for almost $7) ever again. It was a cinnamon kinda cookie crumble with a not so delish "cannoli" filling (which really had no flavor) with a sprinkle of chocolate chips and canned whip cream on top. Blech! In the end the waitress did not charge me for the salad I didn't get and didn't charge me for my seltzer (which was $3!!!!). Oh, and charging $3 for seltzer water is a rip off. It water from the soda machine without flavoring. Terrible! Here's the thing ... go back to making and serving good Italian food not food that has clearly been thru the short-cut machine or the new fad dessert jars. Serve real, tasty and traditional Italian and if come back. This food and service (which I didn't really get into) was mediocre at best and chances of me returning here are slim if this menu stays the same. If you want to be an Italian Cucina then you'll need to do better. Even the waitress sort of compared it to Carrabas. Just not the same as it used to be. UPDATE: I received a call from the manager of the local Bravo I dined at. She couldn't have been more gracious. She has offered me two replacement meals. She has further offered to bring the sou chef table side so I can tell him how I'd like my meal. She said ANY guest can describe how they'd like their meal to the waitstaff or a kitchen staff member will come to the table and take your order. As long as it's ingredients in their kitchen, they will make it. We had a great discussion and I am hopeful that she is going to pass our discussion along to corporate chefs. I'd love Bravo to be unique and offer traditional Italian dishes, not compete with The Olive Garden. Excellent customer service by management! Very satisfied with resolution and will definitely go back and try again. read more

This was a good spot for dinner with coworkers! It's a chain type restaurant, but the food seemed pretty quality. We went on a Wednesday night and it was busy, but not too busy. Our waiter seemed pretty distracted, but we were out and in in a decent amount of time. We each got a glass of wine and were satisfied with our food as well. Price is also good for what you're getting! Also, their bread is fantastic! read more

Okay...let's admit first that this is a chain restaurant that normally I don't rate high. However, let me tell you about the service and food I received and that might change your mind a bit. People LOVE this place at work and will make we go there on a regular basis for lunch. One of our work vendors chose Bravo! for our annual lunch meeting. I wasn't excited because I am eating a low carb diet (keto) and really can't indulge in pasta or bread. Let's fast forward to my unusual lunch request: ME: Can I have the Pasta Woozie with no pasta and vegetables instead? WAITRESS: Well I think we have green beans as our only vegetable. Is that okay? ME: Sure. That is awesome. Thanks for the accommodation. Has anyone ever asked for a pasta dish without pasta? WAITRESS: Nope. Never before. Fast forward to food: WAITRESS: Here's your dish. Wow! That looks amazing...I might have to try that. I guess we have more veggies than I thought. ME: Wow! There are artichoke hearts, asparagus tips, red/yellow peppers, zucchini, and eggplant in this dish. Amazing taste. WAITRESS: I am glad you liked it. ME: Tell the chef he rocked it and I WILL ORDER THIS AGAIN. Thanks for accommodating my odd dietary restrictions. I have been there many times but this will stand out for me as an amazing service experience so hopefully next time I go there I can ask for the Pasta Woozie without pasta. read more
