Bravo! Cucina Italiana - Fredericksburg

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Bravo last night celebrating my mom's birthday with family and friends. Vince and his staff did a wonderful job accommodating our party of 14 and made the experience extra special with first class attention to detail, delicious food and 5-star service! Looking forward to visiting this restaurant again soon!

First let me say that Chantay sealed the deal with this restaurant! I've been wanting to come here for quite some time, and tonight my husband and I did it, and we were not disappointed by any means. Again Chantay was one of the best waitresses we've had this far north (we're from the deep south), and she certainly did her think at the bar too. Her food and drink recommendations were spot on, and she definitely made us feel welcomed. I had the Black Cherry Mule and Pork Chops for dinner, and my husband had the Mango Tea, White Peach Sangria, and the Salmon and we had the Chicken Spinach Flatbread as an appetizer, all were recommended by Ms. Chantay and we loved everything minus the sangria, my husband said it was a little dry for his taste, but everything else was oh so delicious!! We will definitely be coming back to try other dishes as well as to see Ms. Chantay! 10 STARS!!!!

Ugh! I should have done a review last week, I guess, when everything was spot on. This week not so much. But I guess every review helps management, right? Ordered Pasta Woozie both times. The atmosphere is always nice. Issues I had this visit: The bread that comes with the spiced olive oil was hard! I 'm so used to it being soft that I thought certainly my server must have grabbed the wrong kind. But when questioned I learned that they were aware that as soon as possible they would have the soft bread back. (The crunchy bread doesn 't work for dipping. My water glass was empty more often than not. There wasn 't the usual amount of sauce. When I requested a little more, I was given that right away. I also had to request the grated cheese that the server usually brings out automatically. You know when you take a few bites of something that doesn 't quite taste right? Then a few more bites trying to figure out if it was just those first few? I never did decide if it was the noodles, sauce, chicken, or spinach. Verdict: I 'm extremely thankful that I had a discount code. I 'll definitely be back in hopes that last week 's visit was the norm tonight was just an off night. (I 'll probably wait for a discount offer just in case.

I did reach out to Bravo. I left my name, phone number as requested. I never received a call or any other follow up. Go figure!

We made reservations on Open Table, we received a confirmation email. When we arrived they said that they did not receive the reservation. We showed them the email and the reservation, they said they didn't receive it but would try to accommodate us. The restaurant wasn't even half full! The man began to tell me how people are always telling him that the have reservations bit really don't, I said, but do they show you the email confirmation? The service was slow, the food was disappointing in bothe the quality and presentation. My potatoes were partially overcooked, some were multistage because, it was under the heat lamp too long. The coffee was weak and tasteless. The soup bowl was only 3/4 filled. I have tried the place more than once since it reopened, not sure there will be another time. Too many other choices, that is a shame, I really like the atmosphere.
