★★★☆☆ 3.0 Lucas Zuehl · Nov 2025

The decor is charming, but the service definitely feels Italian the way they let you sit and talk with no sense of urgency from the waiter. I got the sense that this appeals to an older crowd. Overall, food this mid shouldn’t cost this much.

I enjoyed a superb pasta dish with sliced figs that was unlike anything I had ever tasted! In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I asked our excellent server to remind me of its name so that I could look it up later and attempt to make it for my wife at home. To my surprise, not only did they supply me with the name of the dish, they also brought me a handwritten note with all the ingredients listed in addition to a couple more extremely generous and unexpected surprises that will have me singing the praises of this gem to anybody visiting the area in the future. What a great experience!

I have recently been to “Caffe Bravo” and I was deeply impressed by its exquisite cuisine. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the staff is extremely friendly and attentive. But the strong point of the place is definitely the cuisine. The menu presented a variety of Italian dishes, with bold flavors and beautiful presentation. In this restaurant you have the opportunity to taste typical products of the Italian/Neapolitan tradition. Pasta and desserts made personally by the young chef Giovanni were excellent. I recommend to all lovers of authentic Italian cuisine not to miss this place. I absolutely recommend it, a must try!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jordan Aceto · Feb 2026

Absolutely delicious house made pasta! All the appetizers were splendid and tasty. My favorite meal was the gnocchi and sauce. I tried 3 different alcoholic beverages and all of them were fantastic ( I recommend the blood orange cosmo ) 10/10 would recommend to any couple looking for a date night, or any Italian family looking for that close to home authentic meals that nonnie used to cook!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Andrea Fiske · Jan 2026

Ordered take out tonight. $100 for 2 entrees and 2 very small salads. The rib eye was supposed to be medium well but was so dry, it could barely be eaten. We used to like this place due to the great servers and the food being yummy but we will not be back after this last experience. $100 for a smalllll bag of food that is sub par at best is just not sustainable for a normal household as a restaurant option. Very bummed.
