“ Always a great meal at Bellabrava! Highly recommend brunch or dinner. Great atmosphere! ”

“ This was my second time at the Tampa Midtown location of BellaBrava. This restaurant is always great for date night, birthday dinners, or even a casual friend hangout. Staff are always very kind and are quick to take orders/serve the food. I've had a couple of the pasta dishes from BellaBrava which have all been wonderful. This time I decided to get an entree caesar salad. The portion size wasn't huge, but it was good for one meal for myself. I loved how savory their dressing was without being too creamy. I also loved the croutons and the cheese on top. Really delicious overall! ”

“ I wanted to give an update on the previous experience I had at Bella Brava. This time we came for dinner with my husband and had a cozy seating outside with heaters. The food, as expected, was absolutely delicious. The salad was fresh and the honey basil dressing was delicious! My husband loved his pasta with seafood and I enjoyed the pasta with ragu. Even our son ate some of the ragu, and he's a super picky eater. The service this time was exceptional. Darrel and Dallas did an amazing job, paying attention to detail and helping us in any way they could. Water was refilled multiple times. We were really happy with options for a gluten free and dairy free dish. Really appreciate that. It's hard to find allergy friendly restaurants. This is a well deserved 5 stars and I highly recommend trying BellaBrava! ”

“ Always a must try when you go to midtown Tampa! I ordered the Prosciutto and Burrata pizza, and it was really good. The pizza was pretty large, and it was definitely shareable (2 people). The server was super attentive and answered all our questions. She also let us know it was truffle season and suggested the truffle pasta, which my friend enjoyed. Parking can be a bit difficult if there's an event in midtown, but it wasn't too bad. ”

“ A delight every time. Arianna was our server and she is awesome. She made thoughtful and delicious options for everything from cocktails to entrees. We ran out of time and weren't able to do dessert but will return. Highly recommend the place. I have never had a bad thing there. The espresso martini is delicious. The pastas are so good, the pizzas too. I'm not sure if I have ever had enough room for dessert. One day. ”

“ Bella Brava is a great spot for Italian food in Midtown! The ambiance is really nice, and for the area, the prices are super reasonable, which is a big plus. Service was also great! The drinks were on point--definitely worth trying. It's a solid choice if you're looking for good food, a nice vibe, and a place that won't break the bank. I'll be back for sure! ”

“ Bella Brava is a well-rounded spot with great food, a convenient location, reasonable prices, and a charming atmosphere. I've been there several times, and while I tried the squid ink pasta with seafood this time and found it lacking in flavor, some dishes never disappoint: the bruschetta, fried calamari, raviolis pasta and beef carpaccio are always delicious. I'll definitely keep coming back for the excellent combination of quality, price, and location it offers. ”

“ Has it only been 12 days since I've seen you, Bella Brava? That's too long!! Your cozy ambiance, friendly service, hot honey pizza and $19.99 bottomless brunch time mimosas are calling me home. (And I could go for another blueberry Prosecco martini-or four) What a gem this spot is. It's located in Midtown, the mixed use retail, dining, lodging and residential space that's sprung up at the southeast corner of Dale Mabry and I-275 in the past couple of years. You park your car in the free covered, multi-story garage and then easily stroll through the development. Bella Brava is perched just off the "town square" area and is appetizing from outside in. I've been twice in two months-both times with groups-and both times we've been seated right by the viewable kitchen. It's a great spot, near the bar, with very comfy seating. The whole place is warm and inviting, modern but cozy. The hostess both times had been friendly and welcoming and the vibe is breezy and comfy. It's dressy enough for date night, trendy enough for co-worker gatherings and casual enough for families. And then, there's the menu! So many Italian favorites-Tuscan inspired and with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. I was hooked on the hot honey pepperoni pizza after one bite on visit #1-so I ordered it on visit #2. It was just as gorgeous and yummy. Cooked in a wood stone oven, with delish crispy edges, the pie is big enough to share, but by golly, I hogged it all to myself. (Well, I took some home with me-with a take out ramekin of their hot honey!) Clearly, I'm hooked! I need to come back and work my way through the menu-everything my friends ordered, both times, looked great (one of them swears by the short rib ragu) but I don't know how I can stray from the hhpp. It's an obsession!' The wine list is large, but I haven't explored it yet. Both times we've been here at brunch and enjoyed craft cocktails and bottomless mimosas. (Such a deal on the latter!) I've heard there's a long and great happy hour here. I'll come back for that, too. Both times we've had attentive and kind servers-really top notch. That takes the experience to a whole other level. Bravo, Brava! Can't wait to come back. Is tomorrow too soon? ”
