bravo cucina italiana

meh. i've only been to the bravo once, for my friend's 21st birthday.

very classy and spacious decor, it's definitely a nice place to eat. service was okay. the bread wasn't bad and they have some interesting cocktails (alcoholic and otherwise) worth trying.

my biggest problem, however, came with the entree. i had the spaghetti and meatballs which was good but nothing special - very seasoned sauce, but a rather bland and flavorless meatball. it was a very big portion which would have been nice if i enjoyed it more. it was also rather heftily-priced by my standards.

perhaps i'll revisit the place in the future to try more of their stuff, but the price will likely put me off revisiting them anytime soon.

i know chuck already covered this restaurant, and i hate to be redundant. i’m just dying for a chance to embarrass my friends, and these photos from bravo will do just that! ( oh yeah, and i like the restaurant.) i absolutely love when a restaurant exceed

awesome service!. what you would expect from anyplace calling itself a restaurant. as my wife and i walked towards the outer doors, there was someone there who opened and the door for us and said hello. as we walked up to the maitre d'/front desk, we were greeted immediately. they said it was about an hour wait (i think it was a fri. or sat.). that was ok since we had just come from firebirds with the same wait, but absolutely terrible service. bravo suggested we could wait at the bar, or even eat there if we chose. we decided to wait and have a couple of drinks. the bartender greated us right away, as well. he was very personable and asked us to let him know how our drinks were after we tried them. implying he might change them if they weren't to our liking. he also asked us if we would like to look at the menu while we were waiting. things were going great. i felt like we were totally being catered to. the inside of the place was very nice as well.

ok, i know this is getting long. but guess what? after just 15 or 20 minutes, our table was ready. we were led to our table by someone and told who our waiter was going to be. our waiter came shortly thereafter, and she was great. she was able to give appetizer suggestions and was very nice. she tended to us adequately without being overly bothersome. i felt it was just right.

and finally the bill. it was all very reasonable. cheap/inexpensive i would even say for what we got. the food was awesome, the drinks were magnificent, and the service was outstanding. i can't say enough about the service. i know it was only one night, but i hope it keeps up.

way too expensive for the mediocre food.

good italian at the waterfront. one of the best restaurants at the waterfront, and reasonably priced. be sure to try the white sangria, yummy! the decor is wonderful and classy - everything that i have had there has been tasty. also, it is byob.

terrible. i ordered the filet and shrimp. shrimp was ok. filet was cooked well done, even though i asked for medium rare. they brought another steak that was still raw in the middle. i suppose the steak cook was having a bad night. they didnt give us any silverware. they forgot the steak knife. the appetizers were cold. the service was awful. don't go to the waterfront bravo! save your money and sanity and cook at home or go somewhere else.

walked out after waitress brought out water..... asked for a reserve wine list because the list was full of things i would expect a grocery store in mississippi to carry... the waitress's response was to look at their house selections that provided a good value.

great food great outside setting no complaints here!

the restaurant is attractive inside, the waitstaff was friendly and very patient with two moms, a stroller, and a 10 month old. the kids were given pizza dough and crayons to play with. the food was delicious and reasonably priced. would go back again! lobster bisque and fontina pancetta sandwich was good.

absolute favorite resturant !. bravos is definatley one of my most favorite resturants! me and my ex used to go almost every friday night, and we became regulars there. i live in pittsburgh, so i usually always go to the waterfront location. the bread is always so amazing with the pepper and oil dipping. and everytime i go, i get the romano crusted chicken salad. it is always so amazingly good. during lunch i usually always try something new, the sandwiches are amazing as well. soup is very excellent. cons, i did have acouple times, were service wasnt up to my standards.. but you can get bad service at the classiest resturant, so i wasnt too upset in bravos in general. other than that, its a very clean, nice atmospheric resturant. i 100% give it 2 thumbs up, and 5 stars ! :)

italian food is one of my favorites, right behind mexican and thai. it’s not easy to find an authentic italian restaurant in pittsburgh. i’ve tried several italian bistros over the past few years, some good, and some not so good. one of the better italian

pretty good.. for a chain that is regulated by corporate recipes and shipped-in bulk ingredients, i've got to admit this place has some very good selections. the bolognese sauce is excellent and the artichoke dip app is wonderful, especially the bread that comes with it.

i can be a bit pricey, but since it's only an occasional visit, i'll survive. sure, there are better, but there's something about this place that makes me say "i'll be back".

the food was great, macaroni grill doesn't hold a candle.

for that price, i though i'd get delicious food. but the food had little or no italian taste at all. if you come avoid the lasagna.

olive garden is better. nice atmosphere, good service, my chicken was cooked perfectly. that's where the positives end. the food was bland. the fried zucchini was the most pathetic i've seen - shoestrings consisting of mostly breading, and sometimes it was just breading. the zucchini must have disintegrated in the oil. don't waste your money on this appetizer... eat 'n park has better zucchini.

the side salads consist of little more than iceberg lettuce. my entree was chicken scallopini and i had to add salt - something i never do. that still didn't help much with the blandness. the linguini was oily. will not return.
