BellaBrava New World Trattoria was born in 2005 in Downtown Saint Petersburg. Over the years since, BellaBrava has been voted Best Restaurant in Saint Petersburg, Best Italian, and is a perennial Guest favorite on Beach Drive.

Less formal than a ristorante, our service is casual, our prices remain reasonable and our emphasis is on a steady clientele rather than haute cuisine. Old World flavors mingle with New World flair. From seafood to traditional pasta, pizzas, and more, we are positive everyone will find something delicious to savor.

BellaBrava’s unique Woodstone™ ovens cook delicious pizzas and a guest favorite, the Crostata.

Our ingredients are fresh, often locally sourced, and evoke the flavors of Tuscany and other delicious cuisines from Italy. With friendly, competent staff, BellaBrava aims to be your casual dining spot.

I wish a salad came with dinner instead of extra, but the Caesar was very good, the Chicken Parmesan was great, and the lasagna was delicious.

Our server was amazing, and the food was great. The only disappointment was that I had a reservation at 8:30pm and didn’t get sat for 20 minutes. Defeating the whole purpose of a reservation.

We had a reservation, but arrived much earlier and they took care of us immediately. We sat in the dining area away from the bar. It was quiet where we were seated. The service was excellent. Great recommendations from a great server. Food was excellent and served hot at a great price. We will definitely eat here again!

Our server was amazing, the food was delicious, but the chairs by the window were very uncomfortable. It was loud in the restaurant but it was late and gave a fun, energetic vibe. We will be back, but not at the chairs by the window. lol.

Bella Brava is one of our favorite spots in St.Pete. We love dining on the patio! Today we sat outside which was lovely. Food was delicious. But I’m still disappointed that they changed the meatball appetizer so that is it no longer over polenta. I’m not a fan of the bread that was served with it. But glad I was still able to order polenta on the side.
BellaBrava St.PeteResponded on December 2, 2024
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us Christine, We appreciate your loyalty and value your opinions. We regret that you were disappointed with our changing the presentation of the meatball appetizer and focaccia. We add an extra meatball so hopefully that made up for it. We look forward to your return.
