Nice atmosphere, good service, good food. We got a tuna dish that was good but premade and was stuck to the plate. Either should have been fresher or not so thin BUT tasty. Also ordered Caesar salad and chicken parmigiana. Homemade pasta, only cooked on one side but could have been great. Parm was tasty but deep fried and overdone. Overall, definitely has potential and would go back. However , I would be more specific on details of what I wanted/expected.Ps: Hubs got several margaritas and he loved them.

This was my second time at the Tampa Midtown location of BellaBrava. This restaurant is always great for date night, birthday dinners, or even a casual friend hangout. Staff are always very kind and are quick to take orders/serve the food. I've had a couple of the pasta dishes from BellaBrava which have all been wonderful. This time I decided to get an entree caesar salad. The portion size wasn't huge, but it was good for one meal for myself. I loved how savory their dressing was without being too creamy. I also loved the croutons and the cheese on top. Really delicious overall!

I went here for brunch with my partner. The starter bread was very good along with the Bellini. The avocado toast was okay but under seasoned. The chicken Milanese was cooked well but also could have used more seasoning. The server was attentive and the environment was very pleasant. I may try coming back for a different meal.

I wanted to give an update on the previous experience I had at Bella Brava.This time we came for dinner with my husband and had a cozy seating outside with heaters. The food, as expected, was absolutely delicious. The salad was fresh and the honey basil dressing was delicious! My husband loved his pasta with seafood and I enjoyed the pasta with ragu. Even our son ate some of the ragu, and he's a super picky eater. The service this time was exceptional. Darrel and Dallas did an amazing job, paying attention to detail and helping us in any way they could. Water was refilled multiple times. We were really happy with options for a gluten free and dairy free dish. Really appreciate that. It's hard to find allergy friendly restaurants. This is a well deserved 5 stars and I highly recommend trying BellaBrava!

Bella Brava is a great spot for Italian food in Midtown! The ambiance is really nice, and for the area, the prices are super reasonable, which is a big plus. Service was also great! The drinks were on point--definitely worth trying. It's a solid choice if you're looking for good food, a nice vibe, and a place that won't break the bank. I'll be back for sure!

Stopped here after my son had surgery at a local hospital. I had the chicken cacciatore and thought the sauce was too much of a tomato flavor. Needed some chocolate in the sauce. Did really like the crust of the pizza. The cup and char pepperoni with honey was too spicy for my taste. The Salmon and salad was good.Service was good. Nice clean atmosphere.

Has it only been 12 days since I've seen you, Bella Brava? That's too long!! Your cozy ambiance, friendly service, hot honey pizza and $19.99 bottomless brunch time mimosas are calling me home. (And I could go for another blueberry Prosecco martini-or four) What a gem this spot is. It's located in Midtown, the mixed use retail, dining, lodging and residential space that's sprung up at the southeast corner of Dale Mabry and I-275 in the past couple of years. You park your car in the free covered, multi-story garage and then easily stroll through the development. Bella Brava is perched just off the "town square" area and is appetizing from outside in. I've been twice in two months-both times with groups-and both times we've been seated right by the viewable kitchen. It's a great spot, near the bar, with very comfy seating. The whole place is warm and inviting, modern but cozy. The hostess both times had been friendly and welcoming and the vibe is breezy and comfy. It's dressy enough for date night, trendy enough for co-worker gatherings and casual enough for families. And then, there's the menu! So many Italian favorites-Tuscan inspired and with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. I was hooked on the hot honey pepperoni pizza after one bite on visit #1-so I ordered it on visit #2. It was just as gorgeous and yummy. Cooked in a wood stone oven, with delish crispy edges, the pie is big enough to share, but by golly, I hogged it all to myself. (Well, I took some home with me-with a take out ramekin of their hot honey!) Clearly, I'm hooked! I need to come back and work my way through the menu-everything my friends ordered, both times, looked great (one of them swears by the short rib ragu) but I don't know how I can stray from the hhpp. It's an obsession!' The wine list is large, but I haven't explored it yet. Both times we've been here at brunch and enjoyed craft cocktails and bottomless mimosas. (Such a deal on the latter!) I've heard there's a long and great happy hour here. I'll come back for that, too. Both times we've had attentive and kind servers-really top notch. That takes the experience to a whole other level. Bravo, Brava! Can't wait to come back. Is tomorrow too soon?

This is our favorite Italian restaurant. Every time we come here the food is delicious. This time we came for Brunch/Lunch on the weekend and got to try their brunch menu options. I loved their Italian Grinder sandwich with a side of their herb fries. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the Eggs in Purgatory. We had to get our usual Bella Bruschetta as an Appetizer. Service is always friendly and fast. The cost doesn't break the bank and you can get an amazing variety of great Italian food. I usually get their pizza which is comparable to the ones I have had in Italy. Recommend you try this place out when in Tampa!

We had a group dinner this week at the Tampa Midtown location. The food and service were amazing. Dalila was an amazing server, and we will definitely be back.
