    2/9/25 We went to the Louisville location of Bravo’s and you could smell the wonderful aromas from inside the restaurant as you neared their door. We were greeted by Jingjing and she took us to our favorite area, the first three tables as you enter the restaurant. I love watching people coming in and the staff preparing the meals! Jingjing was going to be our server and we were going to be treated like royalty! She took our drink orders and returned so quickly. They had several menus to look over and several specials. We went with the Momma Mia Deal. It was a 3 course meal for $25.00. You had a choice between 2 salads, Caesar Salad or Chopped Salad. Your next course was Chicken Parmesan, Pasta Woozy or Shrimp Scampi. The Dessert Course was Tiramisu, Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding or Crème Brûlée. We both chose the Caesar Salad which had the best Caesar dressing over the freshest Romaine lettuce, and was sprinkled with Parmesan Cheese. It was so good! The Chicken Parmesan had 2 very large chicken patties on top of some wonderful fettuccine. It was a large portion and we knew that dessert would be following and we needed to save room. My husband chose the Tiramisu and absolutely loved it. He was probably very glad that I chose to not sample his, so he could enjoy the whole piece. I chose the Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding (Yes, I gave him a large bite to see how he liked it!) Oh, it was SUPERB! When the Chef came by after we had finished eating to see how we liked our meal, I was telling him how much I had loved the bread pudding and he told me that he had made it himself. My sister would have loved it! Every course was so large that we had a portion to take home and Jingjing was so adorable, she boxed up each portion as we finished it and cleared our table for the next course! I felt like I was back on our cruise, being treated so well! Our glasses were refilled without us even asking! Our meal was so relaxing and exquisite, just what we needed.

    First time to visit. No starters, but two of us had the wedding soup. My pasta dish was excellent and one of our group had chicken parm that looked great. The chocolate cake dessert was very good too.

    Our server did not get our appetizers in, our food took about 45 minutes to come out so we felt we had to order dessert while eating in order to not have to wait a long time. Dessert came in to go boxes, including a crème brûlée that should have been in a dish. Our server did not care about us at all.

    Our experience at Bravo was a bit mixed. Our 7:00 p.m. reservation table was not ready, we were asked to wait. Our party of four went over to the bar where there were several empty high top tables available. We sat thinking we would just get a drink until our tabled was ready. Despite three or four staff running in / out, and around the bar, we are not acknowledged. I went to the bar and sat for about 3 minutes until Jessica acknowledged me and asked if I wanted anything. I explained our situation and asked if we could just eat at the high top. Jessica was great. Heavy pours on wine, and despite being busy gave great service and had a great attitude. Jessica was the only great thing about our time at Bravo. The salmon dish she recommended was pretty good, but the fish was not fresh, it had obviously been frozen. I can't recall the name of the dish, but we had a fettuccine, chicken with spinach, and it was obviously from a frozen bag. The desserts weren't any better. Marscapone Carmel cheesecake was...meh. The molten chocolate cake was microwaved and spongy. I hope Jessica finds a restaurant who's food and management matches her service.

    Food was good, waitress was good, hostess was nice but probably shouldn't set the bottle of cleaner and rag on the hostess table when greeting customers. Probably won't go back. Need help upscaling service to attract more customers to the price scale of the food

    This may be a great restaurant but they were struggling. We were seated an hour after our reservation are then waited another hour to order. Food was pretty good and everyone was nice and apologetic. We might try again in the future but I’ll never wait an hour after my reservation to be seated again.

    Made a 6:30 reservation for my daughter and her friends before their school dance. They weren’t seated until 40 minutes later.

    We have eaten at Bravo (Louisville) a number of times in the last few years and have always enjoyed it. We made a reservation to dine there last night, but had to wait for more than half an hour after we checked in at the time of our reservation to actually be seated at a table. To be fair, we learned that one of their servers had had a medical emergency which warranted contacting EMS right before we arrived at the restaurant, so that probably threw things off a bit for all of the employees. We have not experienced that type of a delay in being seated in the past. The hostess and our server were very cordial and we received good service once we were seated. My husband and I both ordered the salmon dinner and really enjoyed it - a great combination of flavors.
