This was wonderful experience.. Quick road trip from Detroit turned into a lovely Mother's Day evening. A very smooth transition from the time we sat down.. order was taken swiftly appetizers nice hot and meal arrived right on time after we finished appetizers.. I will definitely be back..

Very disappointed and upset as we had a 7pm reservation for 6 people, 4 of which drove in from out of town. We had to wait 15 minutes before we were even acknowledged by the host. By that time it is now 7:10 pm, and he informed me it would be at least another 35+ minutes. They were not even using the reservation system! They had no record of our reservation nor the other groups of people waiting to be seated — also with reservations. They were writing people's names down as they walked in. We had to leave because our out of town guests had to drive back. This was my first ever visit to Bravo Italian and it will be my last! Bravo, DO NOT take Open Table reservations if you're or going to use them!

For a short time in the past couple years, the restaurant seemed to be under different management and service wasn't good. Whoever is in charge now needs to be congratulated, as everything about our last two experiences has been phenomenal. The food was excellent, our service was great, and the overall experience was top notch. If you are someone who used to visit Bravo but stopped going due to previous shortcomings, I HIGHLY recommend you go back to give it a try. It did not disappoint!
This restaurant has gone down hill. I ordered the lasagna to try something different there and the lasagna noodles were not cooked properly. The overall taste was off putting and the texture was gummy. My mother ordered the chicken scaloppine and the portion size of the chicken was that of a lunch size while the plate was overflowing with the pasta component. She also ordered a chopped salad and received a Caesar. I am assuming that out server was at the end of her shift since she gave us our bill while our plates were still more than half full, making us feel rushed, and then came back 5 minutes later and hovered until I handed over my card to pay. She then saw that we were still sitting at the table finishing a discussion and stood behind us with new table settings, again making us feel rushed to leave. Keep in mind the dining area wasn't even a quarter of the way full and the section we were in was completely empty save for the two of us. We will not be returning any time soon if at all.
Well, of course Valentine's Day is busy, but we decided to take our whole family (4) out to dinner for the special day Hostesses didn't seem very nice or welcoming, our waitress was very nice and helpful, but there was definitely a disconnect between the kitchen and service. Both were running way behind! We were close to the kitchen and I didn't hear a word between the head chef or other chefs or waitresses. Food was ok, not worth complaining about or even highlighting. Just ok. Bottom line, I'm not making arrangements to return anytime soon. There's better options out there.
Not our first dining experience at Bravo , but is may be our last . We made reservations, knowing Saturday evening would be busy. We arrived a little early, and were told that it would be a few minutes. That was ok , however once we were seated it was 20 more minutes before we placed our drink orders , that took 20 minutes to arrive , we ordered app and dinner, now add another 50 minutes waiting for our meal. In the meantime drinks empty. If the place was packed , maybe I could be a little more understanding. However the table that came in just ahead of us had drinks, apps, entrees and desserts, before we even had our appetizers. Once the food arrived, mine was cold like it was sitting , another of the entrees was too hot to eat . My 5 year old couldn't finish eating, he normally winding down for bed by now.

This place is exquisite. The authentic food...exquisite. Ambience...exquisite. Waitress...exquisite. Celebrating my birthday ? and I could not have chosen a better Italian restaurant ???

Whenever we are in the mood for Italian food, our go to place is Bravo's. Their veal parmasean is out of this world. We love the ambience and decor of the restaurant and the service we had was impeccable. Every dish came out hot, and not too quickly, so that we could enjoy each course without feeling rushed. Highly recommend!

I love coming here. We had our wedding dinner here with family and friends. It was good food and I love it.

The service was sub par for a server who only originally had us. I wouldn’t be writing a negative review though if it wouldn’t have take 35 minutes for us to be cashed out. We had obligations afterwards that we were late to due to this. Very disappointing experience over all.
Went there for New Year's Eve expecting a limited menu and slow kitchen. I had to apologize because my original reservation for 4 people grew to 9 people within a couple hours of our scheduled arrival. No worries! They had a table prepared for the larger group when we got there. We got to select from the full menu, the food was beautifully and promptly prepared and our waitress was wonderful.

Thanks to this restaurant for providing foods and service on Christmas Day 2022. From the menu, not a buffet this day. All was very good. I had a flatbread, and a shrimp scampi pasta, a glass of moscato wine, and a sparkling water drink. Service from the enthusiastic staff was very good.

5 Stars for doing what they do this 2022 Christmas Day. Apparently not many other options. And weather issues past several days this whole area. This location entrance on side of Franklin Mall. I've walked by numerous times entering the mall. I've a noon reservation but might go ask if can move into earlier slot. So they let me seat early. I'm only customer here except 2 guys in bar area. I was thinking this a buffet deal for Holiday. Not. Have asked for a variety of menu choices. Flatbread app, shrimp scampi...no plain cheesecake today. Or basalmic vinegar. No problem. Thanks for providing us gypsies a nice place to dine. Wonderful ladies attending. Great attitudes they all radiate. Oh and she brought me to larger size basalmic syrup. Love it. This was good experience.

All we ordered was pasta and it still took over an hour to get our food. The restaurant was about 2/3 full. The pasta came out dry like it had been sitting around for a while. Not sure what happened. This used to be a good place to eat.

The lobster bisque is completely worth ordering. Whomever created this version of the dish has excellent command of their art. The liquid part of the bisque was smooth and velvet like, with small pieces of lobster, chives, basil and parsley equally running throughout what I think was a bowl of heavenly decadence. The taste was buttery and silky, and needed no extra seasoning at all. The very end, because I was curious, I added 3 grinds of pepper. I wished I hadn't, because it wasn't needed at all. This was so good I hijacked the last of the bread we had on the table to sop up the last of the soup. If I get the opportunity to return, I'm getting a double order of this and a Caesar salad. Thank you Bravo, you made Thanksgiving worth being at your establishment today
