Bravo Italian Eatery

I'm from NJ, and I gotta tell ya that the pizza and chicken parm took me right back home! Sooo good! Authentic, fresh, and just great homestyle Italian cooking!

Antonio and Rachel run the best Italian food joint in town. Authentic! They’re Italians from the Bronx and have perfected the NY-style pizza. Is it fast food? The food was ready in under three minutes but the quality was beyond fast food. Pizza, lasagne, specialty pastas (ravioli, Alfredo, etc) chicken parm, stuffed peppers, and more! You can turn anything into a sandwich on their fresh bread. Perfectly crisp pizzas. Antonio and Rachel know how to run a good Italian joint. And they are sweet people with good hearts. Will be going back here every time I’m in town.

My ravioli was burnt. They delivered the wrong soup and left out forks and knives and napkins.

This is our GO TO spot for when we want some extra special pizza. The pies are like wagon wheels and delicious!! Definitely recommend this place!

Most experience there was good but I was there yesterday and the help was so rude. I won't return. The pizza looked so spoiled I wouldn't order it and when I pointed it out to the filthy middle aged cook/server named Jo he acted like I was in the wrong. The first thing I am going to do this morning is report them to the health department.

Best pizza in town. Other on trays looks delicious too. Everytime my girlfriend and I come for movies. We eat here Everytime

The best pizza in town, hands down. I'm from NYC, and I know pizza. You must get a whole pie or at least a right out-of-the-oven slice to really appreciate the finer taste of what a truly Italian pizza from NYC tastes like. This is a family owned and operated restaurant who are from NYC and had a pizzeria there for over 25 years. Don't let some reviews tell you different. They are probably NOT from NY and don't know pizza if it hit them in the face. Just try a slice or whole pie and you'll thank me.

Watery pasta, more breading than eggplant, tasted like oil has gone bad. Pizza was subpar!

Popped our head in the door to ask about the parking garage which we didn't know if it was free or not, and much to our surprise it is for the pizza shop and movie theater next door. We noticed the amazing pizza behind the counter and decided to go back in for a slice....my son and I both agreed that this was in our top 3 best pizza we had ever had! Either stop in before your movie or after, but either way, don't skip out on having the pizza, would love to come back to try the lasagna and other yummy looking food.

I like the pizza here it is original good flavor my kids went nuts when they saw how big the slices are lol overall good experience had the lasagna it was fresh

I always get manacotti, my son chicken parm and a huge philly for the hubs... always leave full and the staff is amazing.

I spend six weeks working in Sarasota each winter and have eaten at many interesting places. This wasn't one of them.

Someone who lives here recommended it, and he's always looking out for a good deal.

I had a salad, which was fine and the chicken parmigiana. There was lots of spaghetti, which was OK, and little chicken.

I hadn't eaten much during the day and was still hungry. I ordered a slice of Sicilian pizza, which was tasteless.

The place is roomy, clean, the service is quick and the woman running it was nice. These positive factors nearly made it three stars, but the food

Service is fast come in and pick a piece of pie from the bar. Good NY style pizza big open sitting area, with outdoor area as well. Good prices, they have a special item board so make sure you take a look at the details

Average pizza slice in a below average place.

Was in the area and decided to come here, being I was in the mood for pizza. The place looked clean and spacious, so why not.

The guy behind the counter seemed to lack a pulse. He was blah - come to think of it, much like the food actually. I was a little hungrier, so I ordered lasagna and a garlic knot (only 1, though it was large - almost like a half a roll) with the slice. Someone else ordered the spaghetti with meatballS, but all this cheap place could muster was just one lone meatball.

The spread of the different pizza slices was a red flag

Good pizza and excellent service. Management welcomed us hanging out for a couple of hours chatting. Convenient location next door to the movie theater.

First time here and staff was helpful and pasta was okay. I’d lean away from the spaghetti. The sauce was a bit thin for my liking but all and all a good experience. The pizza slices I saw served were enormous and the restaurant is super convenient to the Regal theatre which makes it great for a quick bite before or after a movie. Also nice to support a locally run and operated business. Will try a sandwich or slice of pizza next visit.

Yum, Yum and Yum. Delicious lunch today! Thanks for making Amazing food for us to enjoy. Also thank you for not over pricing.

As a Family, we have a Saturday walk routine to downtown Sarasota, around the courthouse area. We tried many places to eat -- fast eats (we have two toddlers). We decided to try Bravo's because...well it smelled amazing walking by. The Employee -- probably owner-- was a man of few words but great food.

We tried the supposed upper class "Mozzarella Fella" and were so disappointed after three attempts. After that disappointment, we stopped at Bravo's instead. BEST - IDEA - EVER.

The owner/manager (I really need to get his name). Our first stop there he was very NY and just

I wish I could rate them 2.5 stars instead of 3 stars. Mediocre at best. I don't get the high overall ratings.
Great location, but the food leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe the pizza is better than the sandwiches.

We didn't have pizza here but had iced macchiato and Vienna frappe. I say these local coffee drinks are far superior in taste, authenticity, and price compared to big chains like Starbucks and Peet's.

The lady who made our drinks was so friendly and humorous. Haha, felt like we were in a small local European coffee shop.

Try the coffee drinks!

Came in for coffee, as we were ordering we witnessed a disturbing situation; Doorstep Delivery guy told them the people ordered half pepperoni/half cheese but he opened the box to all pepperoni. They take the box and IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS, pick off the pepperoni!!!!!! The woman helping had just been washing the tables! The man/cook/whatever grabbed the plate of pepperoni, ate one and then threw them back in the prep table!!!!!!!!! Hot pepperoni into a cold prep table... Doorstep delivery guy says as he gets it back, "yeah just pick off the pepperoni, that'll work."

Finished our

Ummm good good .. Pretty good location.. Right next to movie theater.. Has outside seating as well as in side.. Never really had issues here be for.. Mmm. Yea good spot for Good pizza And other stuff..either befor or after a movie.. . and not far from a prrtryvcool lillte bar

A good thin crust pizza

They offer very large slices with a thin and slightly crunchy bottom crust. Tonight I got two slices, a pepperoni and a ham & pineapple. At $8.99 they are a little expensive but you are getting enough pizza for 4 slices. And they are very good.

Bravo's displays several pizza choices if you want a slice heated up or you can get a whole pizza. Bravois also much more than just pizza. I've only just gotten the pizza and I have never been disappointed.

Located next to the Hollywood 20 theater, it did get busy. I relaxed at a small table as I enjoyed my

Newsflash: Sarasota. There is no shortage of pizza at this pizza joint. That being said, with so many options to salivate over, it's hard to keep track of what's out there. I had the spinach Stromboli and it was well cooked and very delicious. This it's called BRAVO Pizza it is Tucked in the middle of two other establishments and you'll find the entrance of Bravo. It's on Main Street in Sarasota and if you are driving to fast you may pass it. It's indoor and patio-style seating it smells like a doughy crust baking when you walk in. While it might seem easy to cruise

Well, having moved here from NY in Jan, I was delighted to find this pizza. It is a pain to park, as it is in downtown, but sometimes I needed to do just that.

I continue to be grossed out when I never see anyone washing their hands. moving thoughtlessly from the cash register to the pizza ovens clear across the restaurant.
( sometimes they have a cashier, more often in my experience, not

one night the guy was repairing the pizza oven. YUCK
then serving pizza
then taking money
Where I come from, no one would eat here. and friendly? NO.

TODAY the pizza tasted..... WATERY. It looked

Pizza was ok. Nothing special. Cheese is 70 cents less.

A bit overpriced for what is average Sarasota pizza. There are better options.
