Absolutely loved this place. We were there around 6pm on a Saturday. Surprisingly very easy to find parking. We choose to sit outside. Staff was attentive, fast, and friendly. The food is ok for me although my family members loved it. To be fair I am not a huge fan of Italian food. Highly recommended for sure if you enjoy being in the area and enjoying outdoor dining.

I've been to Bella Brava in Tampa before, but I personally enjoyed my experience at the St. Pete location even more. The service was outstanding--our server was phenomenal and made the evening even better. The food was delicious, full of flavor, and the portions were generous for the price. We even had enough to take some home! What I loved most was the outdoor seating. Located in a lively part of downtown St. Pete, dining outside let us soak in the vibrant atmosphere and truly enjoy the St. Pete lifestyle. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for great Italian food, friendly service, and a memorable dining experience!

Was looking for a bite to eat and decided to try Bellabrava out. We ate outside and it was a gorgeous day and a great vibe. We asked our server what he recommended and decided to try the black truffle pasta and the hot honey pizza . Both were delicious. The food was fresh , flavorful and delicious. And our meal was reasonably priced. The service was great . And the e had a great experience.

Our server Suzanne was awesome!! She was so sweet and attentive. We came to eat at this place after my friend's wedding and she even brought a piece of cake to celebrate. The food was delicious and the prices, although not the cheapest, are very good (considering that you are in downtown)

We had a fantastic dinner here the other night! Great service, good menu and drink selection, lovely indoor or outdoor dining ambiance and delicious food. We really enjoyed the black truffle pasta and Caesar salad with salmon and our dog enjoyed her pup burger! Would definitely come back :)

Came to Bella Brava on lunch with my colleague. The restaurant itself was overall steady compared to what I typically have seen for dinner. We were greeted rather quickly, but we were seated away from the main entrance and in a smaller private room. I thought it was a little odd, to be honest, considering there were many available tables throughout the restaurant. We were greeted by our server, who was really kind. She recommend the pasta brava, which I decided to go with. My colleague got the pizza and salad lunch. Both dishes were delicious. My colleague brought some of his home, too!

Came in with some friends for a few snacks and a drink. Started with a white sangria. Loved it. Lots of citrus fruit. Then we had the mushroom pizza. Very flavourful with a nice thin crust. Then we had the deep fried polenta with truffle oil and honey. Was good but the honey overrode all other flavours. The arancini was fantastic. Would come back just for that. Venue is beautiful. Wish it was a nicer evening to sit outside though. Service was prompt and she was able to answer all of our questions re the menu.

Loved our lunch there this past Sunday! Our server Justin was great. Food came out at a nice pace and we loved everything. The calamari were good, but there's only so much you can do with deep fried squid. Still nice plate of rings and tentacles with some deep fried peppers and lemon too. The meatballs are really good. They are not loaded with breadcrumbs. Definitely full of meat and they carry a little bit of heat. The meatball grinder is probably fantastic with these bad boys inside! The mushroom pizza was a shareable size, nice earthy mushrooms, firm crust supported everything on top of it and had nice chew. The gnocchi with vodka sauce were ridiculous! That sauce is amazing and the gnocchi so pillowy soft! The house made focaccia bread is perfect to not waste any of the sauce.

It's an upscale restaurant in a nice walkable location. Indoor and outdoor seating (outdoors will be noisy with street traffic). Nice menu selections and large drink offerings. Service was good and attentive which we like but not overpowering. The food was good worth a second visit to try some other specialties.

Omg this place is dangerous. Dangerously good! And the service is top notch. I was here a few weeks ago and I literally can't stop thinking about it. The pasta is so delicious. Everything is al dente. My favorite dish was the eggplant Parmesan with the pasta covered in pesto sauce. I'm not a big fan of pesto, but this pesto pasta had me craving for more. So savory. The Bella Brava pasta was also really good. Heavy creamy al dente pasta. Decadent. Peas add a nice touch. Portion sizes are massive so definitely share with someone you love. This place is a really good date night. Highly recommend! They also have some food items for your pets lol
