This was the second time here and we brought others who had not experienced the great food and ambiance. We love starting off with multiple apps and you have to do the bread service (best ever). The main courses were great and there was enough to take home. We also had great wine and cocktails and the evening was great!

The food here was absolutely delicious. We were quite surprised that it is a more casual dining environment. It is very loud and there is a bar area. The food definitely exceeded the ambience. Our server was Reina, and she was a gem. Very energetic, attentive, knowledgeable, and positive! We will be back!

I celebrated my birthday at Rocca, and it was a wonderful experience! The service was exceptional, the food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was beautiful and elegant. The tableside mozzarella was a highlight, and the pistachio dessert was amazing! Thank you for making my birthday dinner so special. I can’t wait to come back!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience here. We came for a birthday celebration and it was perfect! From the food to the ambiance, to the service! Christy, our server was outstanding! I had THE best Chicken Piccata and the portion was great. The Birthday girl loved the Mare and Monte Pasta and said the Giardino Italiano Salad was absolutely delicious. The ONLY downside is I live so far away from here because I think I would be here at least once a week if I lived nearby. Thank you Lavarone’s for a wonderful night!

World Series in town and therefore it was a quiet night at Bella Brava. Nonetheless, the food was great, the wait staff was attentive (as they always are when I dine there) and we enjoyed the meal.

The service was amazing. The restaurant itself is clean and well maintained. The only issue was my food. I bit into a large vein in my chicken pesto sandwich. I know it is not the fault of the chef or the server, but it did take my appetite away. All in all it will not deter us from dining again. The staff was so sweet and thoughtful to leave a car don our table for our retiring colleague. That is class money can't buy! Top notch touch!
