   The food is always good. We wish they would put more new options on the menu, though. The hostess was friendly. Daniel is one of the reasons we eat there. He knows how to make you feel special and make the meal an event.Christian was in training with Daniel and is a quick learner. We love it when they play music that fits the setting…Italian music or crooners like Sinatra, Dean Martin or Perry Como, for example. It is an enjoyable place to go.

   We keep returning to Bravo! weekly to try different entrees. Every dish has been delicious, especially for me, the lobster bisque and Sicilian pizza, which are my favorites so far. My wife loves the chicken parmesan and all of the salad choices. We are looking forward to trying everything on the menu! Our favorite waitress is a younger lady at lunch. She is very welcoming, polite and helpful. She has made our dining experience perfect every visit!

   Everything was just bad, hostess was awesome and then it went downhill from there. It took 30 minutes to get an old fashion from the bar and it was horrible he had no clue how to make one, we had appetizers they were good however we were completely finished with them before our sever took our dinner order. My salad was completely watered down my husband wedding soup had clumps of orzo really bad and cold. Mind you we have been here for an hour it is now 830 and our dinner comes out I had the spicy pasta with lobster butter and chicken well the pasta was over cooked and the sauce tasted like tomato water so bad, my husband had shrimp scampi and it was an Alfredo sauce with rubbery shrimp we didn’t eat anything. Got there at 730 left at 915 and had doughnuts for dinner and it was my birthday 🥲

   The food & wine were delicious. There was even a beautiful view of the mountains! Our server was great and super sweet. However, I had a reservation and the hosts could not seat me right away even though there were plenty of open tables. This could have been due to other customers petty attitudes and preferences. Other than that, no complaints. Would definitely go again!

   Wait staff spread thin. No beverage refills. Food was not as hot as it should be when served. Did not have time to check on us during meal. Did keep us posted on delay of order.

   This is the best place I have every eaten at; Paulie our waiter was amazing and greeted us as anyone should’ve been greeted. Paulie showed so much love compassion and gratitude. We were In town for a funeral and we felt we were apart of a family at the restaurant. Of course we tipped him good . The atmosphere was very romantic. The lighting made it even better.. music?? Incredible.. food ? Amazing .

   This was our first visit. The ambiance was fine, but not as “warm” in color as I usually like. My husband loved his lasagna, even his leftovers the following day! My spaghetti pomodoro was ok. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly.

    First time and probably won’t be back. Our server checked on us like every 5min and it became annoying as she kept interrupting our conversation. Then she disappeared for a half hour, and she double charged us for a corkage fee - we brought two bottles but only opened one of them. She had already charged my CC but she disappeared as soon as I signed the slip. I didn’t have time to find wherever she was hiding so the “value” and “service” were subpar.

    Four of us ordered dinner and only 3 meals were served. It took forever for the 4 person to get his meal. No compensation or apology was offered for the delay. Dinner took over 2 hours as a result.

    I have dined at Bravo in North Carolina many times and had a great experience. The food at this location was delayed and cold. The only redeeming factor was a wonderful young man who waited on us. Would not return. It was my son’s 30th birthday.

    Good food. The bar service and food seems very slow in coming. I don’t know if the restaurant is having trouble hiring people, or what’s the issue. We’ll keep trying. Hopefully they come back up to par.

    The food was well prepared, as usual. Some of the background music was fitting with the setting and very pleasant, but some songs were rather loud and somewhat irritating. Our server Daniel did his usual great job, despite how busy he was. He always makes dining at Bravo a memorable experience.

    We went on Christmas day, and we couldn't ask for more. We were happy to find a place open on Christmas. We hope they compensated their staff for working on a holiday. The server was pleasant even though we knew she didn't want to be there. The food was good as always.

    I have been coming to Bravo for years but this last visit was the worst experience. Our server clearly did not want to be there... very curt and was not paying attention. Completely forgot to bring us our appetizer then didn't take down my wife's order correctly so it had to be prepared all over while everyone else ate... and it was her birthday. He never followed up to see if there was anything else we needed. when I was able to flag him down for two more drinks, he forgot to bring those. Then had to have someone find him to take my credit card after waiting 15 minutes. On the positive side, the food was good but after this experience... won't be going back any time soon.

    We went for our 47th wedding anniversary. Had been to Bravo in Columbus many times while we lived there. The Knoxville one was very disappointing. Wait staff average. Not very attentive. Food was good but the overall experience was less than average. No one even mentioned our anniversary. Lakeside Tavern is one of our favorites and we thought we'd try Bravo; however no comparison. Lakeside far better in all respects. Would not recommend the Knoxville location.

    We usually have a great experience at Bravo, so I’m not sure what happened last night. We went there to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. Arrived at 6:00 and didn’t leave until after 8:00! Soup was cold and it took them forever to heat it and bring it back. I ordered the shrimp Alfredo and was brought Alfredo…..no shrimp. My daughter ordered herbed pasta and it took so long for them to bring it out that all of the sauce had dried up. They brought more sauce (after 10-15 minutes) but it was the wrong sauce. Finally the manager brought a new order of it but it had been so long I had already finished my meal. They didn’t charge us for my daughter’s meal, so that was nice but the whole birthday dinner was ruined. It wasn’t even busy in there and they seemed to have plenty of servers. Our server mentioned they were short a cook, but the tables around us seemed to have better service. Very disappointing.

    Bravo has always been a favorite until this trip. We had tickets to an event that started one hour and forty five minutes after we arrived at the restaurant. Our server was so slow that we barely made the concert. I ordered chicken marsala. It was burned on the bottom. I knew I didn't have time to return it.

    It was a beautiful evening, so we hoped to sit on the patio. Zack said he would be glad to serve us there. He was an excellent server and made it a special experience. We enjoyed the food and the view. The only downside was that many customers would drive up and leave their high beam on high for a long,uncomfortable time while waiting. Otherwise it was a magical evening.

    The spinach and artichoke dip was colorful and very good, especially with the wood fired pita. Salmon was tasty but a bit overdone. Serving size of the past dish was underwhelming. The birthday dessert made up for it. Good and ample service.

    We love the open and attractive feel of the restaurant. Our server, Daniel, always makes it a pleasant dining experience and a big reason we come back. The food is always delicious, but the food is a little pricier than some of the other restaurants we enjoy, such as Carrabba’s. We do really enjoy Bravo Cucina though. The food tastes better than most meals we had on our visits to Italy.
