Bravo! Cucina Italiana, Cleveland

This is my favorite restaurant! When ever I go, I get excellent service, excellent food, and the atmosphere is beautiful. I highly recommend.

Food, service and atmosphere are excellent. Just be prepared to wait at least an hour on busy nights if you don't have reservations.

I visited the Bravo Cucina Italiana restaurant in Mentor, Ohio. There was never a time my husband and I passed the location without seeing an overflow of patrons and cars streaming from this place. I'd checked out the menu online and didn't see anything that jumped out at me. Not one to shy away from the dining experience, I thought we should try it anyway. This year it seems I'm becoming a fan of Italian cuisine - and rightfully so. They're slowly becoming the fad in cuisine. Once inside the restaurant, the ambiance is a bit romantic - low lights, creamy walls, hardwood floors, cedar/oak furniture. Once seated, we started with the Lobster Bisque. Not a menu regular, but definitely a treat. I think it was a special for the season. Next, my husband had the Lobster & Shrimp Ravioli, while I had the Shrimp Mediterranean Pasta. WOW! I was not disappointed. If you're a fan of seafood, fine dining, ambiance and Italian cuisine, you might want to give Bravo a try... oh, and try to go during the week. Weekends are jam-packed.

A business lunch that turned into a better than pleasurable experience! Everyone at the table ordered a Portabello Mushroom for an appetizer, it was served with spinach...WONDERFUL! Lasagna, pasta, steak, pork chops, and pizza were served to our table...There was not one unhappy guest at our table!! The portions at lunch were pleantiful. There were a few "picky" eaters at our table and the staff accomodated every wish with a smile. I recommend this restaraunt to anyone!

I love the ambiance of this restaurant and it is relatively priced. However I did not care for their "award-winning" Cesar salad. I would recommend getting their wood-burning oven pizza, definitely the best option. My chicken marsala was somewhat burnt & just lacking any real flavor. They do have a great selection of wines as well. I would recommend this place as an ideal date restaurant.
