Reviews of BRAVO! Italian Restaurant & Bar (Restaurant)

MajorMutiny

I stopped in this evening while passing through town because I saw they had a vegan menu. I’ve had plenty of roasted cauliflower, but this one was by far my favorite. Our server, Geoff, was extremely polite and attentive. I will definitely be coming back again.

Trey Scales

Excellent service and food

Josh Baker

Food was amazing, Hailey our waitress was amazing , just overall a great experience. We were from out of town but they made us feel right at home.

Erin Nichols

I went with 3 friends, we all had different items for dinner. I had the Wood Fire Lasagna and it was wonderful, rich and meaty with a robust tomato sauce that was an item worth going back for. Another one of our party had the Double cut Pork Chop and she raved over how good it was. Our service was outstanding our wait person check in often but not enough to bother and she kept up a running joke that we started when we sat down. Well worth the trip.

I came in last night for a business dinner and had an excellent experience. Some of us were meeting for the first time that day and the atmosphere at Bravo was perfect for that. Our waitress was Haley and she answered all of our wine questions with ease! I always drink the Black Pine when I come, but she began to describe a new Pino so well we ordered a bottle. I had the Angel Hair with Shrimp & Scallops, loved it! Light sauce and plenty of seafood with a cocktail. I went to eat my leftovers for lunch today, the pasta was neatly compacted with all of the seafood neatly sitting on top. Many restaurants box things terribly, tell Haley I appreciate her witty personality and hospitality in general as a waitress. I will suggest Bravo for anyone looking to have a nice dinner with great service.

This restaurant has absolutely amazing food and the server was a delight. We had Mrs Phyllis Calvin and she made our night soo special. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Matthew Smith

Great food, fast friendly attentive service

Chris Ellis

Great food. Great service. But the cheesecake. Look, I love cheesecake. It's one of my favorite desserts. The cheesecake at Bravo is by far the best cheesecake I've ever tasted. It's not even close. You know how you kiss your spouse for the first time, and it's like all other kisses before that just didn't matter? Their cheesecake is like that, but better.

Tod Bramble

I'll start by saying we ended up liking this place but it gives off a weird vibe when you walk in. I think it's the 10 year old top 40 hits playing just a little too loudly, and the weird, dated, vinyl and chrome seating. Anyways. Once we got over that we ordered a ceasar salad and two pizzas. It was a good Caesar with a thick flavorful dressing. And the vegetarian pizza was quite nice. The carne pizza had 4 types of meat. Too much. Our server was attentive.

Very good Sunday brunch. Go early to get seated quickly.

Outgoing, friendly staff. Great food at decent price. Inviting armoaphere

Queen Mychelle

Good food and extended happy hour

Pete Farris

Amazing Food, Friendly Smiles, and low key atmosphere make BRAVO! one of the best places in Jackson for any occasion. I've dined at BRAVO! more than two dozen times in the last year, and I can confidently say that there is not a more consistently great restaurant in the metro area. Pro Tip: Look for the daily chef specials for dinner - they are always on point, and showcase a variety of seasonal flavors that really make BRAVO! shine. Pro Tip 2: Get the lunch special. Reasonably priced and delicious, it makes a perfect break from the workday grind.

So I picked up a pizza while passing by on a road trip. As such, I have to review based solely on this one meal. First let me compliment the establishment. Staff is SO nice and helpful. The whole place is very nice. Incredible bathrooms. 5 star atmosphere and service. We got the Vegano pizza. If you're not vegan, this is not the dish to dip your toes in with. If you are vegan, here's what you need to know: the crust is good and the toppings are generous. Love to see so many veggies on one pizza. As for the flavor, it was a little flat and way too sweet. I'm not sure where all the sweetness came from but it was not what I was looking for. Seriously needed a hit of salt and pepper. As for the oil level, it was WAY overboard for me and my girlfriend. We eat lots of whole food plant based (generally very low oil) and this pizza seemed to be soaked in grease. I SO appreciate the vegan pizza option but this needs more tweaking! For the chef: garlic is vegan! Only kidding, but if I could make a suggestion, less tomato(I think that's where the sweetness came from) and more mushroom/leafy greens. And remember, vegans like seasonings as much as the next guy. The whole spice rack is just dried plants!

Bo Bounds was right. The pasta with lump crab meat is the best. Never had a bad meal here.

Janis Harris

I Love your fire Roasted Lasagna! Ive never tasted any other like it. I ate there with a friend several years ago. Im coming back & Eat some of your tasty meals. I hope the Establishment will be open by the 1st week of October 2018. I told …

D.J. Klein

Cool location, there was live music in the atrium. Inside the restaurant was quite clean and comfortable. Some people were dressed up, others just casual. We had our 1.5 year old with us, and the staff was awesome in accommodating us. I ordered the Duck entree and my wife ordered the gluten free Alfredo dish. Both were awesome! James, our server, was fantastic. This was our first time, and he was very informative and welcoming. Can’t wait to come back!

Maggie Fitzgerald

Amazing restaurant! The food is really great but the best part is Thomas. He was so helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Josh Caldwell

The server was very courteous and polite. He checked up on us just the right amount to make sure my water was never empty. I love their brunch because they give cinnamon raisin bread with cinnamon butter. I ask for a whole basket of that. On Sunday you can't get a cocktail until after 12. I got the MSCC (I think), which was a spruced up alcohol iced coffee and very good. I tried a new dessert, their key lime cheesecake. They gave me a huge piece which was delicious!! I've never had a bad experience at Bravo.

JL Murphy

Great food, great atmosphere, absolutely great service. Justin is absolutely wonderful. He is very knowledgeable of the food and drink selections and the ideal pairing of food with drink. Plus, Justin in very personable and friendly. Ask for him and he will ensure that you have a spectacular dining experience.

Lynnie Kaye

My family loves to eat here and they have good, gluten free options.

Elgin Whavers

Bravo has an amazing atmosphere! It has a very contemporary style decor. The staff was great and very helpful. My mom even won a gift on Mother’s Day. We both ate the shrimp and scallop angel hair pasta. It was decent. We both found it sort of bland. But, we will return. That may have just not been for us.

Miles Felder

A great dining experience is about food, atmosphere and service. These guys have all three. Lauren, our server, is a pro and did a masterful job with not only food and beverage recommendations but she also has contagious personality. We look forward to our next visit!

Shonda Hill

This is a great place for a lunch date with your spouse

Debra Wilson

Great place for lunch with the girls. I have been a loyal customer for years and will continue to frequent this great establishment!

marcus proctor

Great food with a incredibly friendly staff. Try the catfish and grits... outstanding!

Mohanasruthi Sanku

3 stars for beautiful location and the interior of the reataurant. The food is average to below average, wasnt impressed but mixed drinks are good.

Maurice Williams

Excellent food, atmosphere and service

John Zehr

I rarely give anything a 5-star review. Bravo is an exception. Locally owned by penultimate restauranteurs, you have to dine here before you decide if Jackson is a "foodie" town. Great wine list and some of the best service staff in town.

Amanda Hughes

Loved loved loved BRAVO!. A definite 5 star experience. Tomas our server added to the evening. The atmosphere awesome and adult only. Leave the kids at home. Tables are available inside or outside. The food very tasty. The catfish and grits #1, the lasagna #2, and if you like English peas the crabmeat and linguini #3.

George Hoff

Hit or miss depending on wait staff. Food varies between acceptable to fabulous depending on kitchen staff working and how crowded they are. Bar is slow to fill table orders.

Steve Minyard

Absolutely great service!! Appetizer menu is fantastic!! Try the antipasto platter and absolutely the catfish a ND grits entree!! You're welcome!

Chantal Mason

The vegan event was amazing and I had a Great time. The food was very tasty and filling; I'm really looking forward to the expansion of various vegan/vegetarian dishes becoming available on the menu. I strongly recommend the Vegetarian Burger for first time visitors as your entree and do not leave without ordering the coconut ice cream AMAZING!!!. this was my first but not my last visit to Bravo and indeed the name is very fixing. The service was friendly, inviting and very customer first environment to dine-in; the experience is worth an encore. Once again, Bravo to the owners of this establishment.

Brian Ledezma

I definitely wish I could give this more much more than five stars! This restaurant is definitely deserving of it. I happened to find this place on the interstate on my way driving from Virginia to California. I really try not to stay in Mississippi too long however this restaurant was an exception because everything was delicious I highly recommend the double cut pork chop! So good.

Eric Fitzgerald

Went there for a date night with my wife. She had a pizza and I the veal which where both amazing. We wanted to specifically thank Thomas for making our night truly special.

Richard Grantham

Amazing food and outstanding service. Hands down, best customer experience I have EVER had in a restaurant. Even the managers will come by the table and talk with you for a while. A co-worker and I went for lunch but i will definitely be back for dinner. Made me feel like a valued guest and I am in love with this place!!!!

SlanginWith MrCooper

This is the best restaurant in all of the greater Jackson area. The chefs are too notch and the food even more so. Extensive wine and coctail menu and they make the drinks perfectly. Just recently renovated and it is absolutely gorgeous! Do yourself a favor and bring a date here. You will not be disappointed

DL Govan

Wait staff was wonderful, food was delicious, but it was a little pricey.

Kali Cat

Great food and atmosphere. The red fish and mashed potatoes are heavenly.

Kyle Blagg

Bravo is a fine restaurant in the Jackson area. I actually have a Bravo! Italian Restaurant in my home town of Louisville, KY, which in my opinion sells a much better selection of meals and far better desserts. In truth, I was a little disappointed, but I won't hold that against Jackson's Bravo restaurant.

Virginia Bond

Pricey but excellent food. Nice service.

Michea' Lewis

I tried the crawfish appetizer and debris appetizer both were great!! The entree I chose was lasagna and it was flavorful! the atmosphere was exactly what I wanted at lunch time, peaceful!! you guys should give it a try!!

J. H.

Excellent good and service as always

Susan Eddington

Our meals were outstanding as always! The Cappuccino Brownie was incredible and the service matched.

Niels Kuilman

The food was delicious. My wife and my son eat glutenfree. This was not any problem. We all eat duck breast, it was delicious. We wish we can come over more often. But from the Netherlands it is a kind of difficult.

Peter Franklin

Solo diners who like to eat at the bar, be forewarned, but please read. This is a little wordy, but worth it, I promise. I just finished off what was a lovely start to a meal. I ordered a pizza and a nice bottle of wine, all of it just for me. Chris, my bartender, said he would store my wine bottle behind the bar so "it doesn't get spilled", me being so clumsy and all. I knew that was a B.S. ploy but I didn't say anything. What storing the bottle meant was that Chris gradually siphoned off a full glass from my bottle, little by little when I wasn't looking so he could share a nice glass of wine with friends for better tips. Smart. But I'm smarter. I'm no stranger to having my own bottle at a restaurant. It takes me 90 minutes to drink it. This took 60. I initially mentioned the bottle seemed like a short pour. Chris was unimpressed. He sensed my dissatisfaction and tried to distract me with desserts and other nightly specials for when I come back. He could sense I was mad. I asked for the bill and hesitated signing it. He again tried distracting me, so I mentioned the 90 minute, 60 minute observation. In two seconds flat he had poured me a BIG glass of Malbec as compensation. "This is 100% Malbec. Here you go." Here I go? I like Malbec, but compared to Barbera d'Alba, you can keep your glass. I'm fine. At that moment, I knew I was right. I knew he was a thief. I knew he gave away drinks to friends and others in "The Industry". This time, at my expense. I'm fully capable of pouring my own bottle of wine. I tipped a full 20+% and decided to come home a write this. I truly hope management reads it.

L Nick

Was not impressed by the waiter who's pants were hanging off his rear the whole time.... very unprofessional!! Food was bland!!

Jessica Davenport

One of the places I love visiting. I had the brie appetizer, lasagna and salad. The service was great and so is the management team.

Shun Y.

We celebrated my sister's 60th birthday here (one of my favorite local restaurants) and it was her 1st time dining here. She fell in love from the moment she entered. The atmosphere, excellent customer service, the manager checking in on us and cracking a few good jokes and making sure we were having a good time all contributed to this being an amazing day for her. They always strive to make every moment special and I've never had a bad service experience here. I don't know how they continue to hire such wonderful staff but they should offer a training course to some of the other restaurants around here! If you're visiting Jackson, MS I definitely recommend you try this restaurant! It's a local favorite. Thanks Bravo team for making this evening for my sister one to remember.

Greg Flasck

I've always liked the atmosphere here, it's open and lively. Mediterranean-Italian dishes.

Dorian Rockwood

Our server was great and the place was nice. The food was a little pricey and it was good but not fabulous for the prices.

D Puorro

A little pricey for the portions but excellent quality food. The lasagna is excellent! Nice bread basket selection.

Chris Felder

Great menu and service. Wide variety of gluten free options. Terrific in every way.

Joe McDevitt

Would have given five star as food was great. Service was SLOW on an low crowd night. Drinks went empty for extended periods of time multiple times during meal. Lot of workers just standing around in room next to bar while I sit patiently parched

Tyler Coleman

Best Italian food in Jackson. having said that. Oddly, I will recommend that you Try the steak. You can't go wrong with this team. Service, food, staff, all completely off the chart. 6 stars.

Josh Crane

Great atmosphere, John was our server and was phenomenal. The crab cakes were tasteful and full of flavor. The tuna special was good quality, but the Tuna lacked some flavor. The crab angel hair pasta was tasty with the crab meat, but the sauce was lacking flavor. We will be back for 5 stars next time!

Gabriella Strong

A Jackson institution! Love the seasonal signature cocktail collection and as usual the desserts are divine. Excellent lighting and space organization. Thank you Hali, you're an excellent server! Thank you Bravo for extending your hours to facilitate family gatherings around the holidays period.

Ellery Chancellor

Delicious food and excellent atmosphere/service

Robert Shemper

Great neighborhood bar/restaurant. Very welcoming, staff is always on point and actually gives great service which is hard to find in service industry these days. My wife and 3 kids enjoy going to eat and I also use it as my after work drinking hole! Kayla is the best... all of their servers are pretty good, but in an industry that is very hard to find the “right person” for the job; Bravo does great I’m finding good people to represent them! Obviously I will go back! Thanks Bravo, for having a good atmosphere, welcoming feel, and really good food! My favorite is the angel hair pasta with shrimp! Also, the kids shrimp dish... good portion and priced very reasonable!

John Perry

Great food and service.

Mike Bollenbacher

Fantastic Service!!!! Best in Jackson area. I had the vegan risotto. They knocked it out of the park with this dish

B. Anglin

Great atmosphere our waiter Benjamin was fantastic food was delicious

Dionna Taylor

Bravo is a Jackson classic! A wonderful date night atmosphere or an easy place to start off with drinks and appetizers before dinner. I enjoy sitting closer to the kitchen so I can watch the hustle and bustle going on. Phyllis is my favorite server and she remembers me and my boyfriend every time.

Doss

It's a great place to eat with family and friends. It's fairly large but fills up quickly, so be sure to get a reservation or get there a lot earlier than you want to eat if you plan on going for dinner. The lunch crowd can be large but …

Bobby Jinkins

Everything was exceptional. The service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive. The fam and I had supper. The children loved the pizza and lemonade. My wife had the alfredo with blackened chicken and adored it. My angel hair with asparagus and shrimp was awesome. For dessert we had the chocolate torte, tiramisu, and cheesecake. The torte was the best of a great bunch. It stood out, and is my recommendation for anyone, not just chocolate lovers. Enjoy!

R Hicks

Upscale dining with great menu and service. Cuisine delicious but pricey.

Ash Galloway

Great service with many tasty dishes. Not a cheap place, but seems justified.

Joy Ratcliff

Recently we had an absolutely delicious lunch at Bravo. Our server, Kayla was gracious, efficient and made sure we had everything we needed. She was very friendly and professional. We also loved the ambience of the restaurant, bright and open. We can't wait to return and we will definitely ask for Kayla.

Chuck Eidson

Great service with average food. Each dish was about $10 to high.

Apinya Udomchokmongkhon

The service was very bad, take more than 1 hour to wait for my food.

Ann Culpepper

I had the brie appetizer and the southwest fried oyster salad, both recommended. Portions big, Service was prompt, courteous. Best part about Bravo! is the walk up...if you are meeting an online date, you can spot them before they walk in.... and you have just enough time to run for it if they look heinous. Highly recommend.

Christopher Golding

Excellent service with good vegan options. An enjoyable, elevated environment, clean restrooms, and friendly staff. An excellent wine list.

Kasi Beck

Something for everyone.....meat lovers, vegetarians and even the gluten free cuties. Be sure to look up the daily specials.

John Beckwith

Stopped in Jackson for a business meeting and this restaurant was recommended to us. Our server Phyllis Calvin was wonderful and made sure we had a great dining experience. Wife had pizza which was very good and the crawfish linguine was excellent.

christopher cunningham

The food is consistently good and the staff are attentive. They have great pizzas and a good vegan menu.
