   Pasta Brava was excellent. Pasta cooked Al dente, sauce was delicious. Had the tiramisu on previous visit. Best I ever had.

   Our party of five had a very relaxed and enjoyable evening celebrating a friend's birthday. We dined inside but outside would have been a great option if it wasn't quite so windy the night of our visit. Can't say enough good things about our server, Kylie, who was extremely personable and knowledgeable, helped guide us through our menu decisions and was efficient without being intrusive. Excellent specialty cocktails and plentiful and fine selections of wines by the glass. We started by sharing two appetizers, the fried olives (very good) and the meatballs which were good but lacking sauce but the polenta was good. Everyone greatly enjoyed their entree choices which included eggplant parmesan, stuffed gnocchi, crostata and the fish of the day (amberjack). The tiramisu was interesting and delicious, however, the cannolis were a bit of a disappointment. We were allowed to linger over coffee and enjoy each others' company before heading out to the pier to walk off our meal. Definitely recommend and we plan to return to try the pizzas!

   See review. Your restaurant “was” on our rotation until last night. Service was great. Otherwise, food was less than great. I hope it was an off night. Will try and revisit later in the season. Better restaurants maybe not as convenient but more consistent on good food. I hate paying for cold food. Wine was great. Server was too. Wished could say the same about the food. It was busy, however have been there when it’s been busier and food was good. I’m not one to complain or send food back. Just one to move on

   Our server was attentive great margarita pie with pepperoni done perfectly light and crisp crust excellent sauce. Wedge with grilled chicken was massive looked like a half head of lettuce with great blue cheese dressing. Caprese salad had wonderful fresh mozzarella. And Bolognese was delicious we have been here before and we will be back again.

    Our server Beth was excellent. The food was delicious and when my Mom’s lasagna was not quite as warm as she would have liked, they brought her a new entree, piping hot. The tiramisu was phenomenal. I had the chicken parmesan which was also delicious. The Caesar salad was fresh and yummy with crunchy Romaine in just the right bite-sized pieces and the perfect amount of dressing. The only thing I would have changed is to have asked for a different table further away from the prep area where it was noisy as the bussers clanged tubs of silverware and the wait staff congregated with swinging doors into the kitchen.

    BellaBrava St.PeteResponded on January 11, 2023Rita, Thank you for taking the time to review and for your positive comments. We will let Beth know- we agree she is great.

    Delicious food and friendly service. I had a reservation for a birthday celebration and our waitress cashed us out before offering a dessert menu so that was disappointing. We felt a little rushed despite being there for an early dinner and with a reservation. This restaurant is in a busy area and parking isn’t very close. Customers should plan accordingly to not be late.

    We had pizza, the salmon, ravioli and cannoli. Service was excellent although it did seem slow at times it is a very busy restaurant. The ravioli was a bit bland but the salmon and pizza were great. Cannoli were not as good as last time so wouldn’t recommend those. On balance, a great dinner at good prices.

    Not bad, but not really good either. Service was solid, and we were seated quickly with reservation. We had a cheerful, attentive server...although not big on pre-busing. We were seated next to the kitchen and service alley. Not a great spot, but no biggie. Drinks were good and fairly priced. The house salad and Caesar salads were small, but fresh and tasty. The Margherita pizza was subpar at best, chewy, soggy, and overpriced at $17.95. The truffle pasta was flavorful, but another small portion for $28...shrink-flation perhaps? The place was clean, but the floors needed a good sweeping. Napkins and crumbs littered the floor by cleaned/set tables. A little more attention to detail needed. Once again, not bad, but not good. Won't hurry back. Overall, I'd give BB an enthusiastic meh.

    The ambiance was excellent. It allowed for a lovely evening and a good time conversing with my wife. We did not have to scream when speaking. The food was delicious. My wife ordered a bolognese plate which reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. The wine was also delectable. We will be returning and bringing others along so they can share in this fantastic experience and establishment.

    The most consistently wonderful Italian and brightest atmosphere in St. Pete. Love this place. I have no favorite dishes as all are wonderful. And it is ultra reliable. If you ask for Grace’s section you will have the most wonderful service in history.

    The server’s personality was great along with the amazing arrancini but that’s about it. We were next to a table of 6 kids who were running around and yelling - awful! The wine selection was not great and the menu read well but the food itself was underwhelming - in fact our stomachs were upset. The crostata is an eye pleaser but not great. Sadly disappointed which is very rare for me.

    Hostess was cold, didn’t say a word when seating us. Gave us the lunch menu so prices were incorrect. Sat right next to the kitchen when the whole dining room was available and constantly heard the (very bored) waitresses laughing and making jokes right next to us. Food was okay, but nothing special for $70. Bread wasn’t cut all the way, making it difficult to eat. Won’t be coming back.

    Saturday evening on Beach Dr is always crowded and crazy. The service is great at BellaBrava. Our table was immediately available and the server was perfect. The food was very good. Chopped salad was huge which is good if you can finish it. It’s hard to take a salad home in a box. The eggplant parm was good but very fried. The ravioli was good too. There is nothing to complain about at BellaBrava. I love it and I’m Italian!

    First-time visit for party of 6 and the restaurant was packed - however, it was the Saturday after Thanksgiving and the night of St. Pete’s Santa Parade. We were seated inside at a booth not really meant for 6 people - so it was tight and the noise level was extremely loud inside. If I could do it over, I would have reserved outside. The cocktails were delicious (highlight blueberry martini). Calamari appetizer and beef carpaccio- excellent. Pasta meals ok. Gnocchi in vodka sauce probably best of the ones we ordered. All the pesto dishes were way too strong. Hands down favorites - cannoli and tiramisu desserts. I will try Bella Brava again another time, sit outside, and order different entrees.

    The Caesar salad was not good at all, but the pasta genovese I got with shrimp was amazing. Good blueberry martini as well. The server also let us sample some wine to make sure we liked it before ordering, which is always nice.
