- JJohnVIPHouston •47 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOutstanding. 6 of us for a birthday dinner. Busy. A bit loud but fun. It had a lot going on. Food was excellent. Every one loved each of their meals. Pasta Brava Black truffle pasta. Two. (Hot one with shrimp but that was not needed). Earthy and balanced. Chicken parm was monster. And multiple tastings if that dish raised in best on our table. Gnocchi was light as air. Arrived a bit early and they took us no issues. Service was awesome. They are well trained. Shout out to our waitress KAITLYN who was awesome, as were the team. Reasonable prices. Decent wine list (we had the BR Cohn Silver that didn’t disappoint.)(Not typical for me: we took home leftovers. Delicious and due to larger portions; and good focaccia bread I suppose). They gave a healthy piece of cake (tiramisu like) with a candle. We all got a taste. Awesome! “Best restaurant found after being in tampa for four years….” Was one of our comments. We will be back.More infoBellaBrava St.PetePrice: Moderate• Italian• St. Petersburg•4.7
