BellaBrava

Came in with some friends for a few snacks and a drink. Started with a white sangria. Loved it. Lots of citrus fruit. Then we had the mushroom pizza. Very flavourful with a nice thin crust. Then we had the deep fried polenta with truffle oil and honey. Was good but the honey overrode all other flavours. The arancini was fantastic. Would come back just for that. Venue is beautiful. Wish it was a nicer evening to sit outside though. Service was prompt and she was able to answer all of our questions re the menu.

Came to Bella Brava on lunch with my colleague. The restaurant itself was overall steady compared to what I typically have seen for dinner. We were greeted rather quickly, but we were seated away from the main entrance and in a smaller private room. I thought it was a little odd, to be honest, considering there were many available tables throughout the restaurant. We were greeted by our server, who was really kind. She recommend the pasta brava, which I decided to go with. My colleague got the pizza and salad lunch. Both dishes were delicious. My colleague brought some of his home, too!

Loved our lunch there this past Sunday! Our server Justin was great. Food came out at a nice pace and we loved everything. The calamari were good, but there's only so much you can do with deep fried squid. Still nice plate of rings and tentacles with some deep fried peppers and lemon too. The meatballs are really good. They are not loaded with breadcrumbs. Definitely full of meat and they carry a little bit of heat. The meatball grinder is probably fantastic with these bad boys inside! The mushroom pizza was a shareable size, nice earthy mushrooms, firm crust supported everything on top of it and had nice chew. The gnocchi with vodka sauce were ridiculous! That sauce is amazing and the gnocchi so pillowy soft! The house made focaccia bread is perfect to not waste any of the sauce.

Our server was excellent and very attentive. It was a group of three of us and we got multiple items to share. Everything was delicious and tasted fresh. My favorite was the prosciutto and Burrata pizza. My only critique is that the complimentary bread was cold and a bit stale but overall great experience!

It's an upscale restaurant in a nice walkable location. Indoor and outdoor seating (outdoors will be noisy with street traffic).Nice menu selections and large drink offerings. Service was good and attentive which we like but not overpowering. The food was good worth a second visit to try some other specialties.

Omg this place is dangerous. Dangerously good! And the service is top notch.I was here a few weeks ago and I literally can't stop thinking about it. The pasta is so delicious. Everything is al dente. My favorite dish was the eggplant Parmesan with the pasta covered in pesto sauce. I'm not a big fan of pesto, but this pesto pasta had me craving for more. So savory. The Bella Brava pasta was also really good. Heavy creamy al dente pasta. Decadent. Peas add a nice touch. Portion sizes are massive so definitely share with someone you love.This place is a really good date night. Highly recommend! They also have some food items for your pets lol

The meal was absolutely exceptional! The Lasagna Bolognese featured layers of perfectly tender pasta, creamy bechamel, and a rich, house-made bolognese, all balanced with fresh pomodoro sauce. The addition of ricotta, mozzarella, Grana Padano, and Pecorino Romano cheeses brought an indulgent depth of flavor, complemented beautifully by the aromatic torn basil.Equally impressive was the Ravioli Genovese: delicate ravioli filled with goat cheese, spinach, and toasted pine nuts, served with a fragrant basil pesto cream. The oven-dried tomatoes added a burst of umami, while the Pecorino Romano rounded it off with a touch of sharpness. Each bite was truly a delight!We made reservations prior to arriving. We sat outside and enjoyed the ambiance. It was a quick, knowledgeable and friendly service. One of our favorites Italian restaurants.

A consistently favorite for us when we are in St Pete. The only sad part is that they don't have cannoli for dessert. They used to but got rid of it. Love their fresh pasta, short rib, Caesar salad, arancini appetizer...the list goes on, it's all great!

I recently dined at BellaBrava Italian Restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. The decor beautifully combines modern elegance with a touch of rustic charm, creating a cozy atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home.The service was outstanding. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that our needs were met without being intrusive. They made excellent recommendations and were genuinely invested in making our dining experience enjoyable.Now, let's talk about the food! I ordered the Grilled Salmon with asparagus, and it was absolutely amazing. The salmon was perfectly cooked--flaky and tender, with a delightful smoky flavor that was complemented beautifully by the fresh asparagus. Each bite was a delicious harmony of flavors that left me wanting more.Overall, BellaBrava is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in a delightful setting. I can't wait to return to try more dishes from their menu!

Decent place but their menu is way too limited. Our waiter was also not the friendliest person, the food was okay.We ordered Caesar salad and it had way too much dressing. Too salty. Wild mushroom pizza was also too salty and the cheese was too strong, kind of taking away from any other flavours.I would probably not return here.
