   We’re regulars to Bella Brava, the food, service and value keep us coming back. Waiter should promptly check with us once the food is put on the table. Had to wait a good 5 minutes for the waiter to reappear so we can ask for Parmesan… pasta got a little cool,

   The wait staff was spectacular. We are true foodies with many Italian restaurants where we live. The reviews for here were very high. Unfortunately, we found the good average. The hot Sicilian pie was ok, the pappardelle bolognese was ok. The sauce was great, the pasta was not cooked. Sad because we were hoping differently. Our waiter however was fantastic!!!

   The Caprese appetizer was very good. I had the lasagna as I had it before and it was really good. This time there were a few very hard pasta pieces in it. Still good but not like last time. My husband had the spaghetti & meatballs and enjoyed it very much. Will go back.

   They took 15 minutes to seat me after my allotted reservation time. Once seated we waited an additional 20 minutes and not a single server came by our table so we got up and left. I found the staff unbothered by all of the inconveniences and I wasn’t even offered the chance to speak to a manager. St Pete has a lot of great Italian options I will not be back.

   Great location on Beach Drive. It was raining so we set inside, but the room had nice big windows looking out on the sidewalk side area so we could people watch. Eggplant was delicious and the serving was big, had for dinner the next day. Would definitely go back again and have the Eggplant.
   

   BellaBrava St.PeteResponded on May 30, 2023Thank you for the 5 Stars Rebecca. Eggplant is just as good the next day!

    The pizza was really poor. It’s supposed to be wood fired but that flavour wasn’t present. It was like a supermarket pizza. The food arrived unbelievably quickly as well - never a good sign of freshly cooked. The place itself was flat … poor ambience. I am staggered by other reviews saying how good it is. Depends on the reviewers I suppose.

    We had an excellent time dining at Bellabrava on Mother's Day. Our reservation was at 8:30pm and by 8:45pm, we were served our food. My stepdad ordered the Prime Ny Strip with asparagus and mac and cheese, my mom ordered the salmon with asparagus and I ordered the Chicken parmesan. The food was delicious and came out very quickly considering it was Mother's Day and it was very busy. Our server Nathan was also wonderful being extremely attentive and friendly all night. I will definitely return to dine , 10/10 service!

    Food and wine selection was amazing! We got to try new wines we had never had before and loved our choices. Only feedback we would have is that we made a reservation and specified that it was a special occasion. It was my mom’s birthday and I made sure to put that into the reservation (twice). Nobody wished her a happy birthday and no dessert or anything special was done to make this a celebratory dinner.

    The food was great and so was the service. Next time we will ask to be in a location away from the waiters station. Also, it would be great if you spread the guests out if you have the space. We are 2 seniors that had reservations and was placed near a family with a small unhappy baby. I still love babies!

    This is our second time to eat lunch at BellaBrava and it won’t be our last. We were greeted by pleasant staff the moment the door opened. The food from our salads to the pasta were yummy. Our pasta dishes were freshly made and delivered hot. Our server, Rachel was friendly and very attentive to our needs. We never had to ask for water glasses to be filled and she checked with us a few times to see how we enjoyed our meal and if we needed anything. Excellent service.

    Michael, our server, had several large tables while we were there. We were only two. He made a point to stop by several times to see if we liked our pizza - and we did. Michael is terrific. Caring, but not cloying. He even split our entree salad as an appetizer for each of us.

    The food was outstanding, I would recommend outdoor seating to anyone who goes, indoor space is very packed together and the wait service needs help. They seemed to be overwhelmed. Took a long time for our drinks and food orders. Although overwhelmed the servers and bartenders were extremely apologetic and friendly.

    We were seated promptly upon arrival. Gabrielle our server struck a perfect balance between being overly attentive and disappearing. She knew the menu well and was able to make good suggestions. One person in our party had the burger which was excellent. The other orders were Italian food; flavorful and well prepared. And the manager stopped by to say hello and ask how our entrees were.

    Made a reservation and they decided to sit us at the closest table to the Kittchen. It was insanely loud. You would think a place like this, one I’ve been coming to for 4+ years, would think not to do that to someone who set a reservation. Nothing a little training cant fix though. Food was okay, my meal was room temp which was no usual for this place. Would still recommend. One of my favorite places to eat, minus this time.

    We had a nice lunch following our morning at Mainsail. The service was very good and the choices on the menu were interesting. It was a little more food than I normally eat at lunchtime. I would actually prefer a choice of a smaller serving. When visiting downtown St Pete, I really don’t want to carry out leftovers. We did have a nice time.

    Spouse and I have visited this place over the last few years. Normally had a good experience, however this time not so much. I ordered a lunch special good till 4PM. included was a drink (none alcohol) soup or salad. I ordered the Caesar salad, unsweetened iced tea and main dish lasagna Bolognese. Salad came unsweetened tea no lemon, no extra grated cheese no bread and butter peppernail empty spouse needed to ask for a second beer twice. Seems like we were always asking for something that should have been provided.
