Went early on a Saturday, and we were glad we did, as the crowd and the noise were minimal. We sat and took our time through courses. Delicious food with big portions - we each took some home. Tiramisu for a shared dessert was a perfect finish.

I think the AC may have been out, it was very hot in the dining area.

Our large party was squished into small seating despite any other table that could have been added right next to us. The restaurant AC was broken and everyone was so hot during dinner. One meal, the veal parm had to be sent back and one of my guests called it “insulting.” Very disappointing.
Bravo Italian Kitchen - Virginia BeachResponded on June 18, 2025
We’re very sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. Being uncomfortably seated in a warm dining room, especially with a large party, is not the welcoming environment we strive to provide. We also sincerely apologize for the quality of the veal parm and understand how frustrating that must have been. Your feedback is extremely important and will be shared with our management and kitchen teams to address these concerns. Thank you for bringing this to our attention—we truly regret that your visit did not reflect our usual standards.

The night we visited with a reservation for 9 people, the air conditioning was broken, and it was 80 degrees and humid in the restaurant. We asked, and they were working on it (it wasn’t fixed while we were there). We couldn’t move our large party someplace else (graduation weekend). Nothing was done by the restaurant to make us comfortable. While there was only a few tables in the restaurant and a full staff, our food was very slow. Our waitress wasn’t friendly. It took 20 minutes for appetizers and another 15 for soup. We had to flag down staff for drink refills multiple times. No one bussed any of the appetizer plates, soup bowls or drink glasses, which accumulated because we got a new glass each time. We finally asked to have plates removed. When the food came, the food was great. A couple of us took it home because we’d been there for an hour plus, and it was too hot inside the restaurant to eat. We’d probably go back since this was an unusual situation and food was good, but we would refuse the same waitress.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the discomfort caused by the A/C issue and the delays in service during your visit. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially on such a special occasion. While we're glad to hear you enjoyed the food, it's clear the service and environment fell short. Your feedback has been shared with our team so we can address these concerns and improve. We truly appreciate your willingness to return and hope to provide you with a much more comfortable and enjoyable visit next time.

We arrived at 545 and was told to wait because they were cleaning tables. We waited 15 mins past our reservation time to be seated. It was only after I asked the hostess about them cleaning a table did she tell me there was a mix up with the tables. We finally got to our table at 620 and there was no waiter assigned to our table. We sat for 15 mins while server’s passed by left and right. I finally asked the waiter at the table beside us if he could assist us since we have been waiting 15 without any service. It took him about 5 mins to come back and told me we didn’t have a waiter assigned to us but he would help us out. Once he came back we placed our orders and the food was great and his service was awesome. The hostess need to have more training on how to interact with the customers and tell them if there is a problem instead of lying about cleaning tables for 15 mins and not keeping up updated in the current situation. Maybe they were overwhelmed due to it being Mother’s Day but management should have had that under control.

Good food served by an attentive wait staff. Portions were a little small for the price when compared to the competition, but still an enjoyable meal. I will probably return.

We were seated on the outdoor terrace. The food was satisfactory, but unfortunately, nine out of fifteen tables were left uncleaned with soiled dishes and paper littering the surrounding area. Our waiter failed to provide any assistance during our meal and had to be summoned to check out when it was time.
