    Red Wine Poached Pear Bruschetta
    Katie E.

    I think we found our new favorite restaurant in the area!!! We visited for dinner on Valentine's Day and Brava definitely exceeded expectations. We've also been to two other local spots from this restaurant group, and while they're all great, I think Brava just stole the top spot. The restaurant itself is small, but intimate, cozy, and decorated well with a nice bar area in the front. I booked a reservation weeks in advance since it was Valentine's Day and even though the place was packed we were seated right away after walking in. We kicked things off with a round of the tastiest vodka kumquat cocktail (I wish I could remember the name but it isn't listed on the online menu). It was honestly one of the best cocktails I've had in a while, I can't wait to come back to sample some more options from Brava's bar menu. The wine and beer list are small but well-curated, we had no trouble finding something we liked for round 2. The food we sampled was equally as exceptional. They have a whole list of bruschetta's on house made focaccia. We went with the Red Wine Poached Pear option and it was so unique and flavorful. That dish alone was enough to sell me on this spot, but the Orecchiette al Forno and Squid Ink Bucatini Vongole we had for our entrees were just as delishious. Our server was so kind and gave some great recommendations--I wish I could remember her name so I could give her a shoutout. Can't say enough good things about our first meal at Brava, it certainly won't be our last :)

    The perfect date night spot with some of the most delicious Italian food in the area. The vibe of the restaurant is cozy and romantic. The pasta is made in house and they even have gluten free options! Every dish is seasoned to perfection. They have a great Pasta Dinner Special where you can choose a bruschetta, 1/2 salad, arancini, or polpette, and pasta for only $33! This is typically my go to as I can try a few different dishes for such a great price. Service is always great, the staff is super attentive and knowledgeable on dietary restrictions. My water cup is was always full!

    Orecchiette Al Forno

    Outstanding!! A great addition to Weymouth Landing! My friend and I came here to check the place out shortly after they opened. They did a great job renovating to give it a cozy, intimate vibe. We started with the arancini and burrata. Both were excellent but the bread that came with the burrata was UNREAL. I've never tasted bread like this before. I wanted to take a loaf home with me! For my entree, I ordered the bucatini carbonara. It was fantastic! The black pepper flavor was very strong but I loved it. I'm already looking forward to coming back here, if only for that bread alone! I definitely recommend checking this place out :)

    The place is pretty small but has a nice bar. Our waitress was so nice and recommended some good wines for us to try. The Caesar salad was really good and we split a couple pastas, the bolognese and gnocchi, that were both delicious. Very pleasantly surprised by this place!

    Orecchiette Al Forno

    Needed to find a dinner spot near the Logan Shuttle in Braintree. Yelp pointed me to BRAVA. We were greeted by the delightful host and seated immediately (I'd made reservations on Open Table). I'd missed our server's name, but she was an energetic spitfire (Serena Gomez doppelgänger) and super attentive. I could have eaten my way through the appetizer side of things, but one picky eater friend prohibited that! There is no complimentary bread service, but order the grilled bread--it's delicious! I would have liked additional olive oil to dip, but they don't keep it on the table. I ordered a mocktail described as "fun". I received a delicious gingery surprise! My sis had a glass of Sangiovese. Our toasted carrot app was different and delicious. Forgot to photograph them before diving in. Entrees included the chicken broccoli Alfredo, Orecchiette with sausage and rabe and I had the carbonara. The great thing about the carbonara was the use of guanciale over pancetta. I was missing some tender green peas, which would have launched it to perfection. Overheard someone say the restaurant had only been open a short time. It's a great little spot and upon leaving was filled up and bar was hopping! I hope they do well--I'll be back when I'm in the area.

    Bravo for Brava! Welcome to Weymouth! We all know that way back when Weymouth didn't always have the best restaurants. But, now they have come along way and with their newly opened Italian restaurant called Brava (was the former establishment of 4th and Cherry). Brava belongs to the awesome and amazing restaurant group that includes: Drift Hull, Dotty's (formerly The Townshend), and Pearl and Lime. We have become like family since we frequent these restaurants quite a bit. Their food is always fresh, cocktails are innovative and service is impeccable. Brava is their newest sibling in Weymouth center and we had the pleasure of dining their this past weekend. It is cute and cozy; the perfect date night spot. Parking is mostly street parking, but they do have a garage next door. I was able to find street parking. We started off with a few cocktails and their Caesar Salad and Roasted Figs. What was special about their Caesar is they had cacio e pepe croutons which were amazing. Also, their Roasted Figs were hot, creamy and cheesey...who doesn't love that. For entrees, my hubby got their Porchetta and I ordered their Orecchiette al forno (GF). I thought the Gluten Free pasta was a bit heavier and filling but still very good. We both brought home leftovers. We also ordered a few scoops of their gelato. Brava is like visiting your best friend, you never want to leave! Cheers and I hope you check them out. Tell them "hello" from me!

    Crispy Brussels Sprouts
    Damien S.

    I want Brava Cucina to succeed, because this location is seemingly cursed. Which sucks, because this and its previous iteration have a beautiful aesthetic, and promising menus - both bar and kitchen. But dang if there weren't kinks in the execution. They have a series of sides, dips and accoutrement to accompany their focaccia, which is raging on TikTok because people loved to stick their grubby fingers in things, but I digress - it's a fantastic fast bread, and when done well, is as versatile as quick breads can get. We got the coppa and prosciutto starter, and the star of the show was waaaaaaay too dense. Underproofed? Underbaked? Both? Dunno. We could get past a single piece each, so we scarfed down the meats and chalked up a loss. (And yes, we did notify the server of the off bread. She said, "Oh I'm sorry" but nothing went beyond that.) We also got the crispy Brussels sprouts, and as far as seasonal litmus tests go, this was a stellar version. Exquisite roast, in a glaze of reduced apple cider, honey and lemon, tossed with guanciale and topped with parm - order them every time. Our entree pastas - the orecchiette al forno (sweet italian sausage, broccoli rabe, fontina and pecorino moltinero crema) and bucatini carbonara (moar guanciale, black pepper, egg yolk, parm) - had everything we wanted on a brisk fall night... on paper. Again, the execution was off: very soft guanciale (way less rendered than in the brussels), overcooked bucatini, and the flavors were solid in my orecciette but the sauce was broken and there was SO. MUCH. OF IT. Take a look at the pic: it looks like ear pasta cereal swimming in milk. Flatware, interior, lighting and decor gave total Italian nonna - the water glasses especially (loved it). I have to assume this was an off-night. We gave feedback through the evening which was met with the sort of same "Oh, okay" and that was that. Nothing was bad, so kept our plates and just chalked it up to a difference in tastes, which is fine. Not clamoring to return immediately, unfortunately, but will definitely give it another shot a bit further down the road. And I'll bring nonna.

    Burratini
    Theresa A.

    We were a few minutes late to our reservation and it was ok. Our waitress was so great. She explained all the dishes so well and I picked the best dish for me. For appetizers we had burrata and roasted figs. The burrata came with fresh bread that I loved. I ordered the penne vodka and it was spicy. We did not feel rushed but there was definitely a crowd can't wait to go back!

I would agree with previous reviewers that chips ate really good but that's where my compliments end. Nachos had tons of crema but not a lot of melted cheese along with some pieces of hard and tasteless hard beans and pico in some places. I went with one of the specials - butternut squash and black beans quesadilla. I asked for the sauce on the side. When it arrived, it looked like 4 pieces of thin tortillas so I opened to see what was inside and it had very little inside. The butternut squash was drowned in oil and the beans were again hard and tasteless. There wasn't a lot of cheese or any other fillings you would expect from a quesadillas. Service was good and our server checked with us and refilled our drinks. Place has a bar area that was somewhat empty for a Friday night and they had a game playing on the big screen tv. Bathroom seemed somewhat messy.

We also love their stuffed dates. For entrees, I had their Salmon which is always cooked to perfection. My husband's had their Steak Frites which he enjoyed very much. Dessert is always a tough choice since all of them are excellent but this time we went with their brownie sundae. After plenty of glasses of wine and some dirty martinis let's just say we didn't want to leave but it was getting late.

Met up with some good friends in Quincy and we're looking for a place to eat. Conveniently located by the Quincy Center stop, this place was great! We were seated quickly without a reservation (though clearly it can get popular, we showed up at 5:30 and by 6 the place was full of reserved parties!) and our server was very helpful. We got the fried calamari and the steak tartare as starters. While the calamari itself was crunchy and nicely lightly battered and fried, I would guesstimate that about 50% of the dish was actually calamari. The rest of the fried bits were carrot coins, lemon slices (with the seeds still in...) and what I think were pieces of poblano peppers. This honestly felt disappointing as the portion was quite small to start, and then for half of it to be miscellaneous fried veggies felt like it wasn't a great deal. The steak tartare was also an extremely tiny portion, with the plate heavily populated by arugula leaves and six tiny toasts. Not the most generous portions here unfortunately. I got the steak frites as my main. The steak itself was presently beautifully with a peppercorn sauce poured over it. However, I was looking for the salt shaker because the steak was quite underseasoned. While it looked like a good medium rare cook (how I ordered it) with a great looking sear, I had quite a bit of chew work to do getting through the gristly bits. The fatty side cap was a bit chewy and could have used some direct searing. The oysters were delicious! Not even a little bit of grit, with a very onion-heavy mignonette as an accompaniment. We didn't order much from the raw bar due to my friends' tastes but I feel like this would probably be the reason I come back another time with different people! I could have definitely been happier with the food here. But again don't sleep on the raw bar and if you're looking for a nice place to hang for an evening, overall great vibes here!

The inside has a really fun upscale lounge vibe with colorful lighting, floral decor, hanging lanterns, and a huge centerpiece tree that makes the whole space feel almost like you are dining in a tropical garden. It feels trendy and lively without being overly loud, which made it a great spot for both dinner and drinks. For drinks, I ordered the mai tai and one of their mocktails. Both were well presented and came in beautiful glasses. The mai tai was refreshing, balanced, and not overly sweet like many places make them. The mocktail was also excellent and felt thoughtfully made rather than just tasting like juice. For food, the short ribs pho was fantastic. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the portion was generous with tender pieces of meat. Definitely one of the better pho presentations I have had in the area. I also ordered the sizzling steak pate with baguette, which came out hot and smelled amazing. The steak was tender and savory, the egg added richness, and pairing everything with the fresh baguette made for a really satisfying dish. Overall Monkey Lounge delivers on both ambiance and food quality. It feels like a hidden gem if you want somewhere with strong date night energy, aesthetic decor, and Vietnamese fusion dishes that actually taste as good as they look. Would absolutely come back again.
