Loved the atmosphere, loved the food and our server provided us with excellent service!

waiter was amazing. Butternut squash is my favorite!!!

This was our traditional Christmas Day dinner and we invited our sister in law to join us. It was a bit disappointing. Hostess obvious didn’t want to work the holiday. We were seated in the bar on lawn chairs and around dirty tables. Our salads arrived well after main course was served. The vegetables that were part of the entree package were obviously reheated throughout the day. They were not asparagus and green beans ; just crispy green beans. Pork Chops, Chicken Caprese , and Chicken Marsala were good. Obviously the restaurant was understaffed which hurt the ambience.

My mother, brother, and myself get together yearly for Christmas Day lunch. Bravo was extremely busy when we walked in with a combination of people waiting for tables and people waiting for carry out orders. It seemed to be chaotic… But it wasn’t. The front desk and service staff were excellent. Colin (sp?) was our server and he was great. Very attentive and offered options as to my wine selection. I chose the Francis Ford Coppola Chardonnay. My brother and I had Spaghetti with Meatballs and my mother had Pasta Bravo! I selected the Margarita Flatbread as our appetizer. Before we could even finish the flatbread, our entrées arrived!  There were two tables near us that had their orders confused. One was a large family group of about 12 people including two very young children. Part of their order was confused with a table of four that was seating next to us. But it was straightened out within a matter of two minutes. Colin was amazing! Very personable. He repeated our orders back to us, was very accurate and presented the wine beautifully! My only complaint is that my brother ordered an old-fashioned and the bartender could not be located. Our wine was delivered and poured. Colin said he still could not locate the bartender. Unfortunately, my brother had to wait OVER 15 minutes for his cocktail. This is not Colin’s fault… Could not find the bartender!  Other than that, our meal was fantastic! I even sought out who I thought might be the manager, the gentleman in the blue shirt in the kitchen, and complimented Colin on his attentive and good service. Bravo Italian kitchen is now added to our Christmas day options!! front desk and
