“Great Italian food!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

The only reason this place gets a 4 instead of a 5 is that my wife had to send her meal back (something we never do!). But the waiter and supervisor were so apologetic it truly made up for it. They brought us out a different meal ASAP. i had the Chix Parm, and it was fantastic!

“Dinner before Cirque show”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

Wonderful ambiance, and great service! Outdoor dining looked delightful, and bar area was vibrant. We had Pasta Brava, Trout, Shrimp/scallop combo. All were good. Gorgonzola wedge salad was delicious! Good selection on kids menu, and both our kids enjoyed their dinners. Finished off the meal with delicious espresso and Chocolate Vesuvius brownie dessert!

“Simple Italian”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

Great pasta dishes to your order, good wine selections. Fast service. I ordered the Bella Bruschetta with goat cheese and mushrooms. It was delicious. I also shared humus with flat bread which was also good. I liked the service the most.

“Lunch”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

First time in the area for us, walked along Beach Drive, read the menus outside and decided upon Bella Brava, so glad we did. My husband had the chicken parm with spaghetti and he really enjoyed it (finished way before I did)...I had the chicken capreze panino sandwich with a ceasar salad (dressing on the side)...it was so tasty. Our server Jessica was warm and cordial. We later passed by here on our segway tour and commented that we had lunch there and the other couples and our tour guide, commented that their pizzas are good too....will have to try that on our next visit.
