Bravo Review
Bravo conveys an open-air, Roman ruins atmosphere with an open kitchen and tasteful decor. The ambiance of the restaurant adds to the overall experience during your meal.
The food selections here are unmistakably traditional Italian, with offerings of fine steaks and grilled pork chops rounding out the menu. The appetizers, which include some pizzas, are a great way to start your meal.
Some of the more popular selections include the Pasta Bravo (chicken, mushrooms, and rigatoni with a red pepper cream sauce, lasagna, and one of the new Imbriolo Family Recipes.
Bravo Cucina Italiana tends to be busy, so you can expect a wait for a table during peak dinner hours. The attentive wait staff will keep your drinks full, and your bread and dipping sauce on the table.
