Bravo Cucina Italiana - Buffalo

After finding out the Cheesecake Factory had a 30 minute wait, we wandered over here and got seated immediately. Restaurant is as nice and clean. Service was average, no complaints. I found the bread delicious... a little crisp and buttery, soft and warm inside, with a flavorful dipping oil. Our entrees we both agreed we're average ... I ordered the shrimp Alfredo and my friend a spaghetti with red sauce. I would probably try something different next time.

Went for happy hour and was very impressed. They have a whole menu of food items for six dollars and drinks for five bucks. It 's a great deal and their happy hour runs from 3 PM to 7 PM. I had the calamari which was good. Some pieces could 've been a bit more crispy, but nothing we 're dropping a star four.I also had the bravo burger which came with fries and was so good. I actually ordered a second one. so I could have it for lunch the next day, lol. Also got the chicken, bacon and spinach Flatbread to split and that was yummy as well. For drinks I had two. The Italian margarita and the Italian lemonade. They were both well-made and tasted great and though I didn 't get as much of a buzz I would 've loved, I did feel them. They weren 't very busy at the time when I was there with a friend so the service was great at the start and even as they picked up our server/bartender was attentive.

Bravo! had been closed for almost 2 years, but recently reopened under new management. It was one of our favorite restaurants, and I am glad they are back. We had a promotional email for half priced pizza with a choice of cheese or Margarita. Before our pizza arrived we got offered some nice, warm bread with seasoned olive oil for dipping. That is always a great start. Our choice was the Margarita and we did not regret it. This 12 pizza came well topped with cheese and tomato and really, really hot. The taste was great, we like a little zing so we did ask for some pepper flakes. When we visited, they were not open for lunch, but when I opened their page in Yelp I noticed that changed recently to 11AM.

The food it was pretty good. My hubby liked the flat bread a lot. The rolls were pretty tasty. The pasta was just a bit bland to my liking. Friendliness our server was great. She was very friendly and on top of the refills. Food came out quickly. And a bonus because she likes Pokémon. Cleanliness very very clean. Impressive. Atmosphere it's in a mall. It's not the greatest atmosphere but it's ok. We may come back and try something new.

I'm giving 4 stars because our server was absolutely fantastic! I mean she did everything above and beyond for us. It was our family's first time dining here and we enjoyed our experience. The dipping bread was herbed and the oil had a Sun dried tomato base flavor which I enjoyed very much. It's the first time I've had that flavor in a dipping oil anywhere and it gets a thumbs up from me. I happily chose the spinach and artichoke dip once I saw that it came with bread. Most places serve thin blah chips with it, so it was a yes for me right away. Very tasty. I loved my pasta which had a red pepper cream sauce. To my surprise it had a slight kick to it. It included mushrooms and chicken slices. The pasta was great, loved the mushroom and the sauce. It was a very cozy and easy to enjoy meal. I thought the chicken tasted reheated. All in all it was a good choice. The menu is a bit limited for me, the food all fits in one side. It's a place I'll go to when I'm in the mood for a particular dish. Thank you!
