Bella Brava is COMPLETELY & UNDENIABLY AMAZING! Service is always great, they do have a little happy hour , & ALL of the food is DIVINE. Trattoria Burger , & the Ravioli w/ Goat cheese is to die for!!!

Tim McDonald

What's not good here? The pizza looked amazing and we all wish we would have ordered one. Chicken , ravioli , seafood pasta and more we're all delicious. We had two pescetarians, and two picky eaters ❤️

Jeff Borrero Ruiz

Great place to fine dine italian dishes . Prices as moderate but worth it. Our server was extremelly good to us. Had the Housemade Sausage pizza 7.5/10. Tried the Pasta Brava (8/10).

Marco Navarra

Everything was OK. The pizza , meatballs , and Cacio e Pepe were all missing some magic . Convenient location to Pier , Museum , and other Beach Drive outposts.

Randy Nataraj-Allen

Excellent Vegetarian options . My husband and I eat here often and have never been disappointed. Excellent service . Never feel rushed!!!

Paulo Junior

Everything was amazing. The STUFFED GNOCCHI ALLA VODKA were all missing some magic . Convenient location to Pier , Museum , and other Beach Drive outposts.

Pistachio crusted north atlantic salmon and north carolina trot picatta are highly recommended. Mashed potatoes with mascarpone cheese is the side to go! Awesome.

Spinaci, and just about everything else. This place deserves a 10 on 10!

The portabelllast mushroom sandwich was very good and the salad with honey and basil dressing was excellent!

Bring your own vegan cheese (I like Follow Your Heart), ask for Lindsey Neilson (waitress ) and Kyle (chef ) and they will hook you up with amazing vegan pizza creations!!!

Tim Spencer

Excellent food and service but loud . Sit outside if you can and it's cool enough. Prices are reasonable for the service you receive. Free valet parking is also nice.

Christy C

The Flatbread , specifically the homage sausage one, and great fries

Great food and great service!! Pasta Brava is my favorite!!

Want one of BellaBrava's amazing pizzas but not such a large portion ? You can make ANY pizza a "flatbread " and you get the same "pizza " just half the size!
