Restaurant location is amazing, they seated us (group of 8) right away and they had quite some visitors at the moment. Food was amazing, I had the black truffle pasta and I’m still thinking about her, also ordered the blueberry prosecco martini sooo good. Attention was great! I loved my waitress. Tiramisú was okay, couldn’t feel the coffee that much, it was kinda creamy. Overall my experience was amazing. Definitely coming back to try new dishes.

Great service, food and value. What a great spot this is. If I lived here I would be a regular. The service and food were both excellent and the prices are very fair. We had Chicken Saltimbocca and the Crostata, which was a delicious pasta dish with sausage, caramelized onions, ricotta and sage; covered with pizza dough and cooked in the oven. The dough rises and gets crispy and goes perfect with the pasta. Like an Italian version on chicken pot pie. You can add a salad to your entree for $5 so we both did. The salads were large and the Caesar dressing was great. We split the tiramisu for dessert.

The wine list was fairly priced, the food potions were generous and a great value and the service was excellent. We sat inside since it was a cold night, but they also have outdoor seating on Beach Drive. Overall a 5 star experience.

Excellence in every facet !!! Frequented on several occasions and this prime location is always consistent and on point. Hospitality, staff, and service exceed all expectaions. Have never been disappointed in either the quality or value of the food and drink offerings. Highly recommended.

Prosciutto Pizza, Ravioli Genovese, Crostata, Broschetta and Gnocchi & Vodka Sauce. Such a memorable evening. Fairly crowded this Sunday evening. The food was spectacular.

Went out to celebrate our nephew's birthday.
Our server was super nice and attentive. The atmosphere was very nice on a beautiful sunny day.
All the food was very fresh with great flavor. The meal was surprisingly filling with lots of left overs.
All three of us thoroughly enjoyed our food and the portions that were given. We will definitely be returning.
I didn't use the restroom so I am not sure how clean it is but all the areas that I did see were very clean.

Pasta galore here. Just deliciousness at this place, great Italian cuisine, such a great atmosphere and intimate vibe, and a great location to go for a nice walk after a great meal.

Wow wow wow! Me and my boyfriend are locals and took my friend’s recommendation to try out Bella Brava for his birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! Our waitress, Kylie, was such a breath of fresh air! She brought all the good vibes with her and we ended up ordering the two entrees that she recommended and they were SO good! My boyfriend had the crostata, when she recommended it she said “I don’t want to say too much about it because you need to experience it.” She was absolutely right it was an experience and we loved it so much! I had the chicken penne pasta with goat cheese, pesto, and dried tomatoes it was AMAZING!! Finished dinner with the absolute BEST espresso martini I have ever had. I am counting down the days till we can come back and definitely asking for Kylie again!!! Thank you for such a wonderful dinner!

Afforable, enjoyable experience This spot was crowded, as expected, on a Saturday evening. We didn't have reservations as we were going with the flow that day, but they were able to seat us outside right away. It wasn't an especially hot/humid evneing, so we enjoyed it. I liked people watching, and folks on the side walk were far enough away that it didn't feel invasive.

The service was prompt and courteous for how busy it was and being seated outside. I got a chicken dish with risotto, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, and a cream sauce. It was really good. My boyfriend got the stuffed gnocchi with chicken and vodka sauce. I loved the vodka sauce. Later we stopped back in to watch the rest of a football game, and he got a white chocolate cannoli, and I got the tiramisu. I enjoyed my white wine with both dinner and later dessert. Prices were reasonable.

Second time is a winner! The first time I ate here I did not care for the food. My husband convinced me to give it a second chance. Glad he did as the second time was delicious! We meet up with some friends and were running late; our server let our friend wait at a table for us without having her order anything. For my first visit I ordered the chicken parmigiana so I wanted to try something different this time. To start we ordered a couple orders of the meatballs. They really hit the spot as we all were very hungry. The bread is the perfect vessel to mop up the extra sauce and polenta. Three of the four of us ordered a pasta dish and my husband ordered the salmon. I decided on the stuffed gnocchi alla vodka with chicken. The gnocchi were pillowy soft and the sauce was full of flavor. Everyone else also enjoyed their meals. Our server was attentive without being intrusive and had an excellent knowledge on the menu. This will be our go-to Italian restaurant when we move to St. Pete.

Semi-casual restaurant near the main strip of downtown St Pete. We had a group of people 10 and the waitress didn’t make a single mistake with the food or drinks. I wish they would leave a jug of water on the table, because it did seem to take a while to get my glass refilled so I had to pour some water into my glass from a friend’s. The goat cheese ravioli, wedge salad, mushroom pizza was all delicious.
