We had a great lunch at BellaBrava after having visited the St. Pete Pier. We stopped by because my wife wanted pasta while I was wanting a sandwich. She was able to order a gluten-free pasta with alla vodka sauce and grilled chicken, which they were happy to accommodate for us. She shared that the pasta was delicious! I ordered a chicken pesto melt, and it was a generous slab of chicken. It was also crispy and prepared well. The fries were also notably delicious. Even the kid’s spaghetti that we ordered for our son was wonderful. Service was excellent and our server was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. Overall, we had a great lunch experience, and will definitely look to come back again!

Had an amazing time here for dinner. Our server was a lovely girl named Kaitlin (never got the exact spelling) and she was super attentive & gave a tone of recommendations based on her menu favorites. I got her favorite pasta which was the ravioli genovese and my boyfriend got the short rib ragu. For apps we got the arancini and bruschetta (both were great) and as a drink I got the basil cocktail on the signature list. Definitely will go back if we are in the area again!

We have been here in the past and My Wife wanted to go back for Her Birthday, so We did. Great call! Everything was soooo good! The Servers were exceptional and there is No where better than St. Petersburg Florida. I can’t say enough about BellaBrava. If and when We come back to this town?, We will definitely come here again. Try Em out for Yourself and see what You think.

My hubby and I stopped in tonight for a quick dinner and am so glad we did. I got a cappuccino and ravioli, added chicken to it and wow, so yummy! My hubby got the beef carpaccio and loved it. We ended it with a tiramisu and it was huge! Very good but probably big enough for like 4 people . We decided no bread to not get too heavy on the carbs but it sure did smell good! We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and just watched life happen. The service was great, they all worked well together and checked in at different times. We made the right choice tonight!

We ate here last night after hearing multiple times that this is the best pizzeria in town. Unfortunately, I can’t understand that claim at all.
I started with the Beef Carpaccio, and it had absolutely nothing to do with Italian cuisine.
The beef was cut far too thick instead of paper-thin. A lemon garlic aioli does not belong on a classic carpaccio, and crispy capers are completely out of place as well. The dish felt unbalanced and gimmicky, lacking any respect for the original preparation.
For my main course, I ordered the Black Truffle Pasta. Setting aside the fact that they charge $26 for a pasta in cream sauce, the dish itself was extremely disappointing.
It was obvious that it wasn’t freshly prepared, the sauce was heavy and flat, and there was absolutely no truffle flavor whatsoever.
Overall, the food was poor and not even close to justifying the prices or the reputation this place seems to have.
Anyone who says you can eat well here, in my opinion, has no real understanding of good Italian food.
I will not be coming back.

We had such a great experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and came out quickly. The atmosphere was really nice and relaxing, perfect for a casual meal.
A special shoutout to our server, Kyndahl — she was absolutely wonderful! Super friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from the moment we walked in. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guests.
Great service, great food, and great vibes. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Review: Phenomenal Dinner – 11:00 PM Perfection
I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a late-night dinner for 11 people and I have to say, it exceeded all expectations. From the moment the dishes hit the table, it was clear that every item was carefully crafted, timely served, and, most importantly, delicious.
The pizza was a standout, beautifully decorated with a golden-brown, crispy crust that was perfectly balanced—crispy but not overly crunchy, with just the right amount of sauce and toppings. It’s rare to get a pizza this fresh at this hour, and it truly impressed me.
Every other dish that followed was just as thoughtfully prepared. Each plate was a visual delight, not just a meal but a work of art. The flavors were fresh, vibrant, and well-balanced, proving that great attention to detail was paid to every step of the cooking process. The timing was impeccable—nothing was rushed, and everything arrived at its peak.
What really struck me was the consistency of quality. Despite the hour, everything was served at just the right temperature, each dish tasting as if it had been prepared with care and pride.
I left the meal with a full belly and a smile on my face. If you’re looking for a late-night spot where the food is not just good, but exceptional, this is definitely the place to go. No complaints—just pure satisfaction.

This was such a fun spot! Spending time in the area during this visit, we kept on hitting tourist trap restaurants one after the other. After a long day of travel and fun, this was a fantastic way to end our night! A vast selection of cocktails, wines, and beers, and we loved our hot honey pepperoni pizza.
Above all, the staff was what really stood out. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and met every request with a smile and quick response. Sitting outside we expected to be thought of as an afterthought to the restaurant, but that wasn’t the case by far. It was such a beautiful night, and the busker performing outside topped it all off.
Not sure when we’ll be back in the area, but when we do we will definitely be back!!

Amazing! I came to BellaBrava with my parents and we had a great experience. My mom and I got the white chocolate espresso martini and the Rossini cocktail, which were both excellent. We ordered the chicken Parmesan, lasagna bolognese, and a side Caesar salad and everything was amazing! Our server, Skylar, did an amazing job keeping our drinks full and checking in with us. We will definitely be back soon!!

This is one of my favorite local Italian restaurants in the area. Have been here about a dozen times since moving to St. Petersburg, and have never been disappointed with a meal. Everything is great on the menu, but the chicken parm and multiple pasta dishes are my typical go to meals.
We also booked our rehearsal dinner here a couple of years ago, for roughly 25 people, and the staff was absolutely amazing for that private event. Everyone was commenting how great the food and service was throughout the night.
Overall, food is always on point, and prices are extremely reasonable for being downtown St. Petersburg. Inside seating is comfortable, but we enjoyed sitting outside especially during the nice months.
