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.

Never disappointed with Bella Brava. The food, service and atmosphere are top notch. Being able to dine outside with the Christmas hustle and bustle, gorgeously decorated Palm Trees with Santa in the Park was icing on the cake.

Overall, it's just your average Italian. The seafood fra diavilo tasted like a ketchup sauce with 5 tiny scallops and 3 small shrimp. The crustada was great. Service is slow and below average. Price was too expensive for what you received. There are better Italian options in Saint Pete.

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.

Underwhelming. Went for Sunday brunch. Food was fine, waitress seemed uninterested and distracted. Will choose a different place in the future.
