Can I just say that I do not at all understand these critical reviews of Bravo…read more My family and I have been to this location MANY times and all of these critiques seem completely unwarranted and inaccurate. For one, the food is very very good. Bravo has 4 dishes that I would say are exceptional: Chicken Marsala, the Chicken Scalopini, the Pasta Bravo and the Salmon Sandwich. The Chicken Marsala is one of the best iterations in the area. What I like about it personally is that it isn't overly sweet and fruity like many other Marsallas. The garlic and mushrooms are well represented in the sauce and the chicken is always moist and never dry. The Chicken Scalopini is the "freshest" version of Scalopini amongst Italian restaurants in the area. What I mean by that is that this isn't some processed white sauce thrown over chicken. This dish has one of the best lemon butter cream sauces in the area and the feta, mushrooms and capers make it the most sophisticated iterations of the dish in the area. It's far above Olive Garden's version and slightly above Carraba's. The Pasta Bravo is like a Penne Alla Vodka with chicken. The sauce is, again, very unique and the best of its type in the area. Bravo has great sauces! It's very very fresh tasting with no artificial sweetness or textures that plague other pasta dishes like this in the area. Finally, their Salmon Sandwich is possibly the best lunch option in the Livonia area. I don't know who their salmon supplier is, but for some reason the salmon they use is incredibly moist and buttery compared to others in the area. It completely makes the sandwich. Also, the aioli on the sandwich is very very good (again, Bravo has great sauces) This is a great restaurant to go to as a family. The booths are huge and they're not stacking you on top of each other like they do at other spots. It's always extremely clean and the layout is great as the full bar is available but secluded from the rest of the sit down area. Every server I have had at Bravo's has been wonderful. I've been many times and have never had a single poor experience. If anything, I find their waitstaff to be exceptionally courteous and prompt. Even though this isn't a diner, I get loads of refills on the coffee I always order and every accommodation I have from my diet has always been dealt with smoothly. I love the staff here. I will be back!

Visit: Thursday early evening; not busy. Dining room only occupied by maybe 4-5 tables. (Almost…read moremore servers than patrons.) I was eating out alone, while in from out of town. Upon entry, hostess station vacant; 3-5 mins I was finally acknowledged and seated. Now is where it bears mentioning my theory on restaurant dichotomy; you either get great service -OR- great food...RARELY both, and this visit certainly wasn't one of those rare times; not even close! Server was slow to greet, and subsequent interactions were slow, as well and borderline dismissive. Ordered Ravioli, of course it was delicious; it always is. Bread sticks finally arrived after the salad's late arrival, which was a mere 2-3 minutes before the entree. Again, the food was outstanding (though the six ravioli were drowning in excessive sauce; they could have used about 3 more ravioli to make the combination more adequately balanced. Nevertheless, the food was good. The service, as contrasted above, lacked much to be desired. I'm hoping the server (Emily) is still green, otherwise she surely represents the weakest link in the chain at this location. Everything I politely requested; butter for the bread, parmesian for the ravioli, beverage refills... all had to be asked for TWICE, including the to-go box! The only thing that showed up promptly was the check. Final thoughts: - Great food - Mediocre, borderline Poor service. ~Tip: 15%, and that was a much contemplated thought on my part. **Will I be back? Probably. But hopefully, Emily will not be my server. Cheers (8 yrs since my last review of this establishment, & nothing has changed)

My server, Joe, was courteous and attentive. Food: Ordered lasagna. Came with the most delicious bread sticks I've ever had and also the best side salad I've had in many years (a little sparse on dressing, but that's better than being soggy from too much!) The lasagna was SUPERB!! No complaints, except the center was luke warm. I've found this too be common with lasagna no matter where you go; I'm not sure why. Other: Napkins!! I was provided a few square cocktail napkins for my meal. This is definitely an opportunity for improvement; regular size dinner napkins are a must! Butter for the breadsticks would have been preferred over the strange oily concoction on a saucer that was provided instead. Will i go back? ABSOLUTELY!! If I would have gotten normal dinner napkins and butter for the breadsticks, it would have been my first 5-Star rating in many years. And I'd like to see how the service is when they're more crowded.

This evening, we ordered vegetarian lasagna, calamari, salad and one of the specials of the day, lamb chops. Everything tasted wonderful so we were very pleased.

Inside, it's really welcoming. Clean, comfortable tables and chairs, and it looks like they recently refreshed the place with updated walls, art, and lighting. Nothing fancy, just done right. We started by sharing a Greek salad and it was very fresh, with an excellent dressing. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was out of this world. I honestly do not know how the chef did it, but the chicken had this incredible crispiness and freshness, with a perfect crunch that still stayed juicy. The portion was extremely generous. The pasta was excellent and the sauce was exactly what you want with chicken parm. I could not even come close to finishing the whole plate. I heard a certain renowned Italian restaurant owner loves to come here for the parm! She says no one makes it quite like Ardiana's chef. The owner, Robert, brought out a carrot cake for us to try. He said it was all organic. It was fantastic. Moist, with a great caramel sauce and walnuts. At that point I was waving the white flag because it was just too much good food. Robert also mentioned they are opening a small bar soon, which will make this place even better for a casual dinner. If you are in Novi and you want a great Italian and Mediterranean spot that over-delivers, put Ardiana's on your list.

The shape of the fry was curly, not like the typical curly fries, but thicker on one end, so a bit dry and bland. I wouldn't order this again. Although the aioli was good. The b- was delicious. I would definitely order this again. A tad bit oily, but that's to be expected. It also came with a side of roasted potatoes. The best part of the meal was definitely the bs- huge portion that just melted in your mouth! I had been seeing so many positive reviews for the cc, I was so excited to try it out. It was okay...a bit dense for me. It seemed like it was served right out of the fridge. Overall, pretty solid dinner. I'd definitely go back to try more items, including breakfast.
