Bravo Cucina Italiana Review

Good food, great service. Average plate is around $16.

Italian mule is delicious. So is the calamari, and lobster bisque.

The last two times we've order take out from Bravo the food has been mediocre. The lasagna that I had was Olive Garden quality at twice the price.

Pretty OK. Standard Italian food here. Nothing too special, but you are better off here than a certain other chain. Plenty of better Independent Italian options in Columbus that might satisfy you more.

Quality of their food and service has diminished over the past few years. Was one of my favorites... Not so much anymore.

Enjoyable atmosphere. Nice menu options, Italian, steak and seafood.

Everything was delicious! The pecorino cheese dip appetizer was great!

Was kind of surprised with lasagna, it was flat and layered with some type of cheese sauce, tasted like nacho sauce. Not at an italian lasagne.

Had a great meal.....Bravo's has been a standby for many years but may have slipped a little with all the competition of better restaurants and other choices that Columbus has now. Our meals were okay but nothing to get excited about. There seems to be a lot of older patrons who are regulars....at this location. Not that there's anything wrong with that but with the way this area has changed, that might be how they have maintained for so long??!

Good but overpriced pasta. Pasta is the cheapest filler food out there.

Solid food. Brian the bartender is awesome and always very helpful. I had one of the best Salmon dishes ever there.

Great italian food at a reasonable price. Takeout is fantastic with curbside pickup, just be sure to verify that you have all of your requested sauces and condiments at pickup time. Ask for extra bread and oil, be sure to watch for their specials and signup for the email club!

The food is always excellent and they make the best peach bellni in Columbus. Today we had an excellent waitress, Denise. Kudos to her for her great service and personality!

The food was very good and our server was friendly, although it took a while to get our food

Food is great! But don t go here unless you want your car broken into and stuff stolen. They have no cameras, make no effort to protect their customers, and when your car is broken into they say or darn - sorry - their are signs that warn you?! Not worth it in a town with so many good places to eat.

Me and my two daughters went there for my birthday my oldest daughter ordered a bowl of wedding soup as she's eating it a huge piece of plastic was in the soup the waitress never even apologized the manager never came out and the only thing they did at the end of our meal was take the bowl of soup off of our check very disappointed

Place was clean. Service was a little slow but the food was really good.

I was there in a private room for a free dinner (association meeting). It was good!

Very quiet, dead for a Saturday night. Food was great.

BRAVO!!!! I went to this place with a good friend for lunch and OMG!! It was DELICIOUS!! I had the Bravo Chicken, a Raspberry Mojito and it was delightful!! The best part was desert!! I do NOT like sweets but this was probably the best desert I've had since i was a kid. It was their seasonsal house desert with berries, 2 words- FLAVOR BOMB!! OH.. and the lobster bisque, FANTASTIC!! I RECOMMEND x10!!!

I have visited this location for about a month picking up my order. Upon arrival there is a sign which states,"free delivery". I decided this time to take advantage of this. I noticed on my receipt a delivery charge of $3.99. I called and spoke with the manager and he said unfortunately there is nothing he can do. Well yeah their is, credit the delivery fee back since your sign says,"free delivery" or throw in a dessert or appetizer. How hard is that? What i don't like hearing is,"there is nothing I can do but contact IT department".
Damn!!!!

I've been here countless times for family celebrations and have yet to have a problem. Staff is always pleasant and helpful and the food is delicious.

Honestly, I was surprised at how good the meal was. I had the spaghetti pomodoro and my wife had the cacio e pepe. They were both very nice. I had the warm chocolate cake. Yummy! The waitress was very friendly and accommodating.

The food was good! The bread and oil were different than you see at other restaurants and that's in a good way. We had the shrimp appetizer which was hot and crisp and flaky, very fresh and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. The spicy diavolo shrimp pasta was amazing as well and it was actually spicy unlike some of the other "spicy" dishes I've tried that have very little heat. The pasta was cooked well and sauce was amazing as well, really creamy and coated the pasta nicely without any dry pieces or thoughts of more sauce needed on my end.

The one sore spot for me was the creme brulee. The sugar was burnt tasting so the dessert wasn't good. Luckily I took my kids who ate beneath the burnt sugar, otherwise I would have sent it back.

The service was great, the food came out quickly and our waitress was the perfect blend of helpful but also left us to enjoy our meal.

It's time for a spruce up. The men's room was blazing hot due to poor heating. The ladies room door needed a diagram to leave the stall. Server was less than prompt or informed. The bread and dipping oil was great!

Very fancy place. Food was only ok. Quantity didn't fit the price.

Reasonably priced Italian restaurant with great food and classic Tuscan decor

Drinks at the bar were excellent only issue was if the bartender was waiting on a million tables at lunch along with Manning the bar I may have gotten another drink before I got my to go order.

I used to order fairly regularly through Bite Squad but the portions for carry out became smaller and smaller. Today a friend brought lunch and the grilled chicken salad was less than a third full of lettuce had maybe a tablespoon of gorgonzola, no walnuts and 5 slices of chicken. When a salad cost 13.99 you expect it fill the container at least. Back to not ordering Bravo anymore.

Love this Italian restaurant. The customer service is out the roof. If I could eat Italian everyday I would go here everyday for dinner.

The food is delicious, the surroundings are very attractive, but the service can be hit or miss. Expect to pay about 25% more per entree then say, an Olive Garden, and portions are on the smaller side as well. Salads also do not come with entrees, so that will cost you an additional $5 - $6 per diner.

Bread is provided with meals but good luck getting a refill. You will be studiously ignored unless you either shout at or tackle your server, then expect a long wait for it.

Their pricing makes this place a special occasion only restaurant for our family and probably a lot of others. So I can see why they've had to declare bankruptcy and close something like 80 out of their 90 locations.

Because of the entree and salad prices, we've never ordered appetizers, desserts, or cocktails, so can't provide a review of those, though some of the appetizers sound really good.

So if you have money burning a hole in your pocket and you want some really yummy Italian food, try Bravo soon before they close all their locations and are gone forever.

Our server was friendly and attentive. But the food was not that great. Been here many times and always been accommodated when I asked for a chicken piccata which is not normally on the menu but in terms of the food cost perspective has got to be cheaper for them to make.
Any chef that has any kind of kitchen experience should know how to make it it is not that hard . A firm no this time from whomever was the quote-unquote sous chef.
The pizza we ordered was cold upon arrival and had to send it back to get reheat it in the oven and it came back burned on the bottom. Not once did the lazy looking manager in the sweater vest even ask us how our meal was.

Their performance this night as a team makes the Olive Garden look like a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. Probably won't be back

On our very first visit we were treated to a free appetizer! The pastas are fresh and after several visits (the store in Toledo is closer for us) we have enjoyed everything we have tried. Loved the fried ravioli with its own special dipping sauce that has a hint of horseradish!

Very friendly atmosphere and easy to order from menu

Menu is good but limited. If you have a picky eater in your group may be hard to find something for them to eat. I would not take children here if they are picky eaters. Everything is a la carte. Would go again. Food is great, just limited

For the price you pay, I am not impressed with the food. Quality is about on par with. f not lower than, the Olive Garden but the prices are higher. Decent service.

Tomato Caprese, a must try for vegetarians. Bravo has a special recipe for it, they blend it to the best of Basil and Sauce. I like it w.r.t. other Italian Restaurants.

Love it, diavolo sauce is my favorite...I love the shrimp Napoli as appetizer... Also one of the best tiramisu you can get

Bravo on Bethel has become our go to for regular Italian cravings. Although their vegetarian menu isn't expansive, they have been wonderful in customizing dishes to meet our diet. Thus far, we have ordered and eaten several of the dishes in their menu (meats substituted with veggies of course) and they all have been excellent and filled with flavors. Oh! their breads tasty too.

Service was meh and both pizzas we got were soggy and bland. I'll stick to pasta there. We told our server and a manager didnt get come over, nor did they take it off.

Reserved a table for or 11th anniversary's. Quiet atmosphere, superb meal.

This was the best Italian food I have ever had, everything was fresh and extremely delicious! There is a wel versed menu for the whole family and this will put other places you frequent to shame. The service was fast, friendly, and delightful. Koury (sorry if misspelled) was superwoman, short of being the chef she was unstoppable on the floor! Is there anything this girl can't do?! We are a small family from Cleveland and we will definitely visit anytime we are in the area again!

Had a larger group but service was great. Everyone was happy with the food.

Went here for lunch after my father's funeral food was great service was fantastic

Food is not good and the waiter was even worse. Worst decision of my life especially after fasting an 18 hour day in Ramadan

This place is a standy for me, and has been for the past decade. Classic dishes, excellent service and a warm ambiance.

Good food. Great atmosphere. Love the Romano Crusted Chicken salad.

Good food, near the river. Server was decent. The plates may have been a bit small for the price. Relatively fancy.

First time here and the food was pretty good! I shall return......

Another great dinner from Bravo! Many thanks. We miss the days when you used to sponsor a local cycling team.

The food was meh. The service was OK. Not quite the Bravo I remember from the 90s. Probably won't waste another visit on it.

The service here was decent but now amazing. The pasta is very lack luster with little flavor. The one redeeming quality is the meat was cooked perfectly. If there was more time and attention spent on the pasta the way the meat is this place could be truly amazing.

First time I have ever been there. Food and service was excellent.

Good food great service during sister's wedding dinner

The food was excellent. I had the Alfredo and added chicken. The chicken was the best I have ever had. Alfredo sauce was good, noodles were a little dry. The pepperoni bread appetizer was delicious. Only problem was the menu said pepperoni, More

Try the Diablo with chicken !! It never misses and the Tiramisu, BAM as Emeril would say.

We had no idea Bravo at Crosswoods closed. Until we thought we were going there but ended up here. Same GREAT food, not as convenient.

Got there at happy hour. $5 beers and wines. Flat bread was good for the price.

Really good happy hour menu. Good atmosphere and bar staff is attentive and very personable. We will be back!

First time here and it was great. Stopped with family and everything was spaced and clean. The food was amazing. Was happy with my salad, but will need to come back and there were other items I wanted to try!

Waitress was very friendly and outdoor seating is available
