Bravo! Cucina Italiana

Mediocre and overpriced. I’ve been here 3 separate times and I’ve had dismal experiences each trip.
1^st Visit: Birthday celebration; table of 4. Food is not bad — I like the cesar salad and the pasta with the red pepper sauce is good. Service? Non-​existent. I had to refill my own tea glass on four separate occasions. Other servers ignored it as well. As I left, I figured out where the server was — she was texting outside by the parking deck. Since she would disappear for large periods of time, this seemed like her second table.
2^nd Visit: No service issues. Pasta Woozie was dreadful. The «cream sauce» reminded me of a TV dinner. Mucus-​like thickness, mushy texture and bland flavor. On the plus side, cesar salad was good. (This will be a trend)
3^rd Visit: No service issues. Pasta Carbonara was slightly less dreadful than the pasta woozie. The peas gave it texture but the cream-​type sauce just lulled my taste buds into my college days of freezer dinners and some flashbacks to Pasta Woozie. Hey, guess what? Cesar salad was good.
I’ve got no love for this place but I’ve really tried, I promise. The prices are not cheap but the quality of food is just mediocre. If I have to go back, I’m going to stick with the red pepper sauce dish thingy from my first visit and with the cesar salad. I won’t go back willingly though — it’s going to be another birthday or invitation to dinner from my parents.

We’ve been to Bravo! a few times and it’s always pleasant. I have to say though, the meatballs and polenta appetizer is so far the best tasting thing I have ordered! I will definitely get that again next time as my entrée. So much flavor!

Not too bad, went with some friends to happy hour and the atmosphere was decent. Food was pretty good with fair pricing but the beer selection and pricing wasn’t great for a happy hour. I would go back again but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

Loved it! Great food Great service. My daughter and I went there for lunch. I had the pasta with Alfredo and spinach and she had pasta with tomato sauce. We both loved it. And the bread and herb dipping sauce was great as well! It was a very clean and nicely decorated place. We will be back.

Bravo! is a pleasant restaurant in the midst of the Bridge Street shopping center. At noon, it was becoming full and is obviously popular with a lot of shoppers and office workers in the area.
Our server was very good. She knew the menu, made recommendations that were helpful, and ensured we received our food quickly. We split a meal as the portions seem to be large and there was no problem with that.
We split the spaghetti and meatballs. It was tasty but very sweet. Most Italian spaghetti I have eaten emphasizes more spicy tomato than sweetness. I asked about the sweet flavor and the waitress asked the chef who told her that their pomodoro sauce has a sweet flavor rather than the more traditional Italian marinara sauce.
Personally, I much prefer the marinara sauce. I did not see that on the menu; it may be an option. The reality is that many, probably most, Americans like sugar in their food and the sweeter flavor is probably preferred.
The bread was excellent, chopped salad was also excellent, service was excellent and many choices on the menu with an emphasis on cream sauces more than the classical Italian featured in many restaurants.

Tried this place for the first time the other night. Glad we made a reservation they had a pretty long wait time otherwise. Food was great service was also great. They were very busy so we did have to wait a while for our food. All in all good experience I think this place is a little over priced food is good but I would not classify this as a high end restaurant to be paying those prices.

We finally tried this place today for the first time and I think it’s just.alright. We came in for lunch and I ordered the pasta/​salad combo, I picked Caesar salad with pasta BRAVO. It was okay, you can’t really mess up a Caesar salad and my pasta came out a little too al dente. Which is alright I suppose but I just don’t like my pasta that’s still a bit «chewy-​ish hard». The prices are a bit pricey same as Carrabbas I suppose but not the same quality as Carrabbas. Our server was polite, attentive and the atmosphere is very nice. Might come back here again, one more time to see if my experience change.

First timer eating here at the Bravo here in Huntsville. I have to say it was a delightful experience. The servers to the restaurant management. They really do care about their customers. Our waiter Robert was amazing and really knew the menu. Very professional. I can’t wait to eat at another Bravo in the near future. b

My husband and I ate here. I was wanting to try them out.
we received our silverware. Two of the forks were dirty, (food debris that was noticeable) we let our waiter know and received another and yet another fork was dirty.
We already ordered our food, or else we probably would have left.
Ambiance was nice, waiter was attentive, food was okay, but I just can’t overlook the dirty forks.

Not a bad spot for lunch or dinner if you are starving for Cucina Italia, but not wildly memorable either. A nice food selection and very good customer service (our group can be wily). But next time we’re in town, I will opt for something different. You will carb up nicely at Bravo, but it is unlikely you will remember the meal an hour later.

Today my husband and I went there we are from California our food was amazing and our service spectacular joy Chandler was the manager and Kori, was our server they were truly amazing ladies as well the food

I took my wife here for her birthday. We had a large party and they were able to accommodate everyone (25 people). We had multiple servers ensuring that our party was taken care of the whole time.
The food was absolutely fantastic! Every single person enjoyed what they got. Pasta Bravo!, braised beef ravioli, spaghetti and meatballs, etc. You name it. The manager came by multiple times to ensure that everything was going well.
Perhaps the best part of the evening was the Crème brûlée cheesecake. We will definitely come back to Bravo!

The restaurant is really nice, but the food is pretty average here. I loved that the salmon dish was packed full of healthy ingredients, i. g salmon, sweet patotaoes, spinach, asparagus. But it wasn’t seasoned very well, so it was just ok. Surprisingly, the grilled tilapia tasted better. Doubt I will get either when I go back. The service was awesome though! Our waitress offered several helpful menu suggestions, and the food came out quickly. It was packed, and I was STARVING so I’m so thankful for that! Looking forward to trying the lobster bisque next time!

My son ordered fettuccini Alfredo and loved it, but left hungry. Portion size was small.
I had the salad and grilled salmon dish. Said was the BEST! Actual salmon was excellent … Again the portion size for the price was small.
My friend had a salad and loved it but send the lobster bisque back. Friends for 13 years and I’ve never seen her send a dish back.
Staff: manager check on us and took the bisque off my friends ticket. He was helpful and friendly.
Waiter never let our glasses get empty but when it came to pay the check took forever, around 15 – 20 to get us our check. A little frustrating. It wasn’t a super busy day.
Overall, I’m not sure if I would try it again. It was good… My food was great actually, but I believe if your going to pay those prices for food… You should receive a portion size worthy of price tag.

The service was not the best. The waitress was great at taking our order in a timely manner however she did not ask if we wanted straws with our drinks and she did not check to see if we had silverware on the table when she brought our appetizer and entress. She did make suggestions from the menu and made sure the food was brought out when the food was readily available.
The food was hot upon arrival and delicious to the taste. My crab cakes were the best I ever had.
I would definitely return again.

Waiter was pretty bad to awful. Had to be reminded to bring me my drink, to «not forget to bring the gluten free menu». Food was ok, but nothing special. Over priced in my opinion for the quality of the food and the wait staff.
Meatballs and polenta would be gluten free if they didn’t put wheat in their meatballs…

I dig it. The food has always been good if not great. There were two occasions where they were out of the wine I ordered and then Peroni the next time. Drinks from the bar are a little weak. I enjoy macaroni grill’s bread better, but Bravo’s prices are a little less steep.
Great brunch, too! Their open biscuit sandwich is on point. Candied bacon and sriacha sauce? Genius. Stuffed French toast? Massive!
I love the open atmosphere and ambience. Can get loud, but not to the point you have to shout at your dinner guest. I’ve been there multiple times including Easter brunch and my birthday. Great service every time. They have a huge bar area and outdoor patios on both sides. We like to do reservations through Open Table beforehand, and with this weather, I can’t wait to try their outside seating.

I took my husband here for his birthday. Food was not impressive. This is the second time I’ve eaten here and my husband’s first time. If he hadn’t asked to come here for his birthday meal, I would’ve avoided eating here the second time.
Anyways, he had the Grilled Chicken Marsala which was very dry and tough. I had the scallop pasta minus the scallops. Bread was like «to go» bread from the fast food Italian restaurant, not what you’d expect in a «nice sit down» restaurant. No refills on the ice tea. No dishes cleared until a minute before we paid the bill (which took FOREVER to get from the waitress). No manager in sight to report any of these issues to. Asked my hubby if he wanted birthday dessert and his comment was, «I don’t want to give them any more money since most of this meal would taste better from a fast food chain.». One last thing, no price discount if you go meatless on your entrée. This isn’t a big deal to me since I’m used to just having to pay full price for dishes, but when you’re paying $ 16 for something that probably would be $ 9 otherwise, well, it makes you think.
POSTNOTE: BRING A JACKET! It is ALWAYS cold in this restaurant.

Not my style.
Came here yesterday for lunch after trying takeout on my first encounter. The verdict? Someone-​namely me– should have stayed at home.
I honestly think the requisite bread and oil (which included tomato pesto) was the best part of the meal.
The wine list carries a few perfunctory names, all appropriately priced and largely tasteless.
But better to get wine than a sweet tea; it took my lunch crewmate better than 10 minutes to get the first refill. How do we know? We timed it.
Thr lobster ravioli was lackluster in at least two too many ways. Though the ravioli was cooked decently, the sauce seemed… microwaved. The cherry tomatoes were just tomatoes as well… and barely that. And if you see the pic, I received a «lump» of fresh grated parmesan on my ravioli. Sigh…
They’ve only been open a month or so. I’m really hoping that’s the issue. But deep down, I know better. You can fix the service, but you can’t so easily fix the food. 2.5 stars… on account of the maitre’d actually being pleasant and the waitresses being nice in a very rehearsed kinda way.

We ate at Bravo for a birthday. The restaurant is very beautiful outside, and pretty inside too. I look forward to warmer weather so I can enjoy the gorgeous patio they have. Very crowded and lively atmosphere. The service was excellent! Our waiter was so funny and sincere. Even the man that refilled our drinks made sure to say «Pardon my reach» if he had to reach across someone. I was impressed with the care they took.
As for the meal, the drinks were just okay, all a little too sweet and not strong enough, we tried the white peach sangria and the sangria rosa. We ordered the lobster ravioli, mama’s lasagna, and fried calamari to start! The lobster ravioli was good. The fried calamari was good as well, the horseradish sauce its served with made it better than it really was. Mama’s lasagna was delicious, a must-​try.
We’ll be back to try the happy hour specials… They look pretty good and the prices are amazing! They might just steal us from being regulars at Bar Louis happy hour.
