“I can not say enough about Trattoria Bella! Our office used their catering for our Christmas party & everything was just amazing! Everyone raved about each dish. Julia the owner, was wonderful to work with. She answered all my catering emails very promptly and made great suggestions. I loved everything so much, I took my daughter there tonight for dinner. It’s the cutest little Italian restaurant with a great atmosphere. Our waitress was great & service was fast! Highly recommend checking them out!“
“Authentic German cuisine - very good! View of the river and sunset was delightful. Slant of the porch (half of the dining area) could have foiled our apple strudel dessert, but we turned the plate around so the ice cream stayed on the plate. Ha.“
“Bacco Wine Cafe- Melbourne- 5 Stars When a restaurant has been in business for 18 years, I know one of two things. It's either the only restaurant in town, or it's the best. I am here to say that Bacco Wine Cafe in Melbourne is the latter of the two. The place is run by a husband and wife team, the husband, Loris, takes care of the front while his wife, Rafaella, runs the kitchen. As the place is reservation only, we were very fortunate and grateful that Loris gave us a table. He said we arrived early enough so it wouldn't be a problem. As my eyes began to devour the choices on the menu handed to us by Loris, I thought this was sure to be an amazing meal. However, our server, Jennifer had me briefly second guessing that assumption as she came across as a zombie. Or your typical 25-year-old. She was adequate enough as she got our order right but, really seemed to just go through the motions. I ordered a three-course meal consisting of Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese, the Veal Chop Alla Marsala and for dessert, I went with the Pere Cotte Al Vino Rosso. Jennifer was soon doing the zombie shuffle towards our table with a tray of culinary science concocted in the laboratory of Chef Rafaella, Ph.D. in foodology. As our gastronomical treasure was set before us, my sense of smell became overwhelmed with scrumptiousness. The odors spirling up from the plated art in wisps of steam would make a dead man salivate (which I found exceedingly ironic given the mortal condition of our server). My comestible journey began with the order of Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese. Sadly, this recipe has been hacked the world over. It has been reduced to "common" food status when in reality it was the dish of nobility as traditionally it consisted of beef and fresh cream, items not easily obtainable by the commoners. Chef Rafaella reminds everybody of the true origins of this dish by elevating it once again to noble standards. She starts by making her own pasta and finishes with the freshest cuts of prime meat around and tops it all off with a homemade Bolognese sauce that recalled to mind one of the nicknames of the city it hails from, "la grassa" or "the fat" in reference to the city's culinary mastery. After literally licking the plate clean (thatsa some sauce!), I directed my appetite towards the Veal Chop Alla Marsala. As my loyal followers know, this is my "barometer" for measuring a good Italian eatery. The Veal was obviously USDA Prime as it was so tender it practically melted on the palate. The mushrooms were fresh cut (YAY!) and Chef Rafaella really took it to the next level by using shaved garlic in her sauce. Served with riced garlic mashed potatoes and bedded atop a bevy of market fresh veggies this was truly a dish from a chef at the top of her game. However, Rafaella's chef-d'oeuvre this evening was her take on the classic Pere Cotte Al Vino Russo. What can I say about this delicious masterpiece of dessert? Was it perfect? Was it divine? Everything falls short. The pear was cooked unerringly to perfection and the red wine reduction sauce was out of this world. A dollop of fresh cream was the exclamation point to a fabulous meal.

“I have been going to corked 1080 for over a year now and have always enjoyed my experience. The ambiance is great, the people there are great, and the drinks are great with great prices! The music and musicians that play are very good! I recommend this place to anyone looking for something different than all the usual bars in Brevard!“
“Came here for drinks and food on 3/30/24. Hannah was our waitress and she was AMAZING!!! Everything came out fast and correct. Our drinks stayed full and she had super positive vibes. Made our experience here over the top! The live music and location is perfect for any occasion. Will be back and highly recommend!“
“I want to give it five stars but there were a few things that were slightly off although the portions are amazing and the staff is great could use the little more lively atmosphere however I do love all the wall hangings and everything there so definitely a high four stars four and a half if I have to say“
“My wife and I went here for the first time and we absolutely loved it! The food was great, the service was good and the views were amazing. We went at sunset and it was really nice to watch from up there. It's a bit on the pricey side but for a romantic date night it's one of the best places I've been to in a while.“
“The owners are lovely and so friendly! They allowed us to host a bridal shower there of about 30-40 people! Drinks we so good! We were able to bring in our own food and it was comfortable enough hangout for a few hours. Bathroom was clean. A lot of the people who came didn’t know Pour 4 was there but said they’d definitely be back! I know we’ll be back to have some drinks! Thanks again for having us and being so kind!“
