I have visited Bravo! in West Chester for many years now. It's a very spacious restaurant, so even at busy hours you feel you have your own privacy. On my latest visit this week I ordered lobster and shrimp pasta. I love seafood and this place is always a great choice for this. Their pizzas also taste great, as do their chicken parmesan. If you are for the starters, I recommend their flatbreads, the perfect way to snack while waiting for your main course. Though their salads taste very good, my favorite before the main course is the wedding soup. The restaurant has a very spacious parking lot, so I've never had any problems getting in. In the past, I have sometimes had to wait for some time for the waiter to take my order or to bring my check, but lately things have become much better and eating here is a very pleasant occasion. Definitely a good place to visit, if you love Italian food, or good food in general. Will come back again. read more

I only eat at Bravo if I have a coupon. This was my first time at this location and I ordered the chicken parm to go. I was pleasantly surprised! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the serving was enough for lunch the next morning. I tried their bread and it was actually soft. The Bravo I go to at another location always gave me hard bread so I thought that was the standard. I have another coupon and looking forward to picking up dinner on the way home again. I looked at my husband's Pasta Woozie and although it looked great, it was a lot of sauce but not enough pasta. Luckily he was able to cook more to enjoy the dish better. read more

Lunchtime at 12:50pm and barely anyone in the restaurant. I felt bad for the servers as they did their best to hustle. Sadly, they were under staffed that one server came in on her day off and haven't even changed into uniform to help serve us. We had to grab our own utensils and appetizer plates from the adjacent table. We were definitely worried about traffic back to airport and making our flights. But they came through and we got out at the ideal time of 2pm. Whew! I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. The plate was massive and held 3 balls the size of my fist. It was tender and meaty, however, the sauce was a salt bomb. I ate 1 ball and some spaghetti then took the rest home. We also ordered appetizers of fried calamari, spinach dip with tortillas and small flatbread. All were good and I especially enjoyed the calamari. Decor is nice and I found out its a chain restaurant specific to Ohio. Hope they get the staffing they need. Seems like a trend everywhere you go... read more

The Crispy 'Mozz' Ravioli was good as was the Caramel Mascarpone Cheesecake, and the pasta that accompanied the Veal Parmesan. The only way to describe the Veal Parmesan itself however, is horrid- it tasted like something was microwaved from frozen. Everything but the main dish was good. Completely unacceptable for an Italian restaurant. read more

Food was good, but we ordered two meals and were given 3 pieces of bread and no oil. The only reason we come to bravo is for that oil. I know it's "free" so maybe they thought it wasn't a big deal but it's definitely a huge disappointment to not have it in the bag! read more

Although the food tasted ok (not great). I ordered the gluten-free version of the Shrimp Alfredo. However, the first time they brought it out, it was on the regular fettucine noodles (not gluten-free). They fixed it, however, I found several pieces of normal fettucine noodles mixed in with the gluten-free pasta. There was no offer to discount my bill. I just hope I don't get sick from eating any of it. Do not eat here if you are Celiac or have allergies to wheat. Needless to say, I have to take this restaurant off my list of places to eat. read more

I ordered the Pasta Woozie and the Tiramisu. It was ... $35 worth of trash. I could've had the exact same meal from the frozen aisle at Walmart for $6, so I guess if you like the idea of frozen food masquerading as quality Italian food from a restaurant, go for it. I will never go here again. The chicken and bread looked and tasted like it was frozen and microwaved, and the spinach wasn't even cooked. The tiramisu tasted like the plastic container it came in and was literally floating in a puddle of liquid. I really wanted to like it and I'm usually really fair with my reviews and give restaurants multiple chances, but this was the worst and somehow most expensive meal I've had in a month. read more

Came for a retirement party but got to the bar early. They said they have no bartender at 1pm so I couldn't even order a drink. They had two waiters for our party and did a pretty good job however our drinks came out late and food wasn't much for 26 people. There is a reason why this place was dead inside. It needs a major revamp. Parking was a nightmare. read more

We went here for dinner on a Friday evening and they were pretty busy but we had a reservation and were seated immediately. We ordered the Chicken Parmesan ($26.99) and one of their limited time specials, linguine with white clam sauce ($20.99). A side salad (which is big enough to share) and a couple of glasses of wine brought the bill to $55. The chicken is one of their customer favorites and the portion was large enough to take some home. The linguine sauce was on the watery side and the clams were really tiny but it was flavorful and something I would order again. Our server Delante was courteous and efficient. Free parking on the street or in their lot. Weekends are busy so make a reservation for faster seating. read more

We came here for lunch and it was so delicious! Not crowded at all on a Saturday and the service was extremely fast. We got started with the most fresh and warm bread and then had meatballs and ricotta as an app. My partner got the chicken parm and loved it. I got the fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken and it was soooo creamy and yummy. 10/10 would go again! read more

I gave this place 2 stars cause the food was good but decently priced and my family said they would rather go to Olive Garden. The service was ok the waitress was more worried about the other people around us cause she was trying to get a big huge tip from some teenage kids. And the inside of the rest was nasty there looked to stains all over the floor and my shoes were sticking to there carpet and as we were leaving there looked to be a bug sitting on a table cloth. I don't know if I would recommend this place when Olive Garden is just as good if not better but a little cheaper but better quality than here. The only best part was they had wood fired pizza. read more

The property is well kept with a high end ambiance. Clean lines, soft tones with outdoor seating available. The food choices were pretty good and as I am gluten free my choices were more limited but GF pasta was available. As with most places with that option, the pasta was slightly over done but not inedible. The sauce was quite nice as well. Delante was a fabulous server! Prompt, friendly and efficient! Love her! read more

Oh my goodness, this has to be my worst Italian restaurant dining experience ever in my life. We went there to celebrate the new job for our cousin. We ordered two appetizers, two drinks and thought of ordering main course after the drinks. First the appetizers arrived, and we ate them all for 25 mins while waiting for our drinks which never arrived. I politely asked our waitress about the drinks, and her response was "I don't prepare the drinks, the bartender does". Crazy response right? I know. While the bartender was busy chitchatting with other guests forgetting we ever ordered our drinks. And all this was after waiting for 25 mins in a less than 15% occupancy weekday night. Ridiculous I say. We always go to the Mason Bravo and love it there, wanted to try a new location but this waitress proved we made a terrible decision. She knew we've been waiting for our drinks since 25 mins but had done nothing about it. Had never experienced such terrible customer service ever. Finally we had to leave the restaurant without having our dinner. We went to a Mexican place nearby to have our dinner, which had an amazing service with great food options. Though the ambiance was decent, I'm never going there again. read more

Today was our first visit to Bravo's with the family, and unfortunately, it'll be our last. From the moment we were seated, the experience was downhill. Our table was swarmed with gnats--yes, gnats--and that wasn't even the worst part. The server, who also appeared to be the manager, greeted us with visible disdain. It was clear she didn't appreciate our presence or the fact that we were enjoying each other's company during our 7 PM reservation. Her attitude was cold, dismissive, and downright rude. We ordered calamari that was so overcooked it felt like chewing leather--honestly, it was inedible. The pasta? Dry and lifeless. When we asked for to-go boxes, we were handed flimsy paper containers clearly meant for bread, not for saucy dishes. Completely impractical. To top it off, the same server had the nerve to complain about her tip, loud enough for us to hear as she walked away. That level of unprofessionalism speaks volumes. I know this review might not change much, but if it helps even one person avoid wasting their time and money here, then we've done our part. Consider this feedback "on the house." read more

Salty, salty, salty... The green beans served with our meal were so covered in salt they were inedible. The chicken pasta dish several of us had was incredibly dry and had the look of food that had been pre-plated and then reheated. More Alfredo sauce was provided upon request. On the positive side the waitress was pleasant and attempted to do her best.. Ambience was OK but the expediter or whatever yelled out the orders so loud it was disruptive. It would be so easy to do so much better... read more

Heather the manager made sure our evening was wonderful. Thanks We had family in town on New Year's eve and she made our experience wonderful. read more

First time having Italian for Christmas night. Service was great. Food, not so much. The chicken parmesan was very thin & dry. Tasted like it was from frozen. Spaghetti had no sauce and dry. My wife had shrimp fettuccine. The shrimp was not freshly cooked, and it was soggy. I had a side salad and my wife had a glass of wine. The whole meal cost $100, but it wasn't worth $40. I've had better from frozen meals. So disappointing. read more

Food, service, ambiance all wonderful! Will definitely revisit. Enjoyed by all! Best appetizers we have had in awhile.

Service and food were sub par at best! Went for my nieces bday and never experienced such a disappointment at Bravo! It used to be a great establishment but it has really gone down hill. Waited forever to get drinks, food and even the bday dessert. The eggplant parmesan was extremely dry. We won't b back .... read more

I would not return, it was horrible. Are the waiter barely came to the table?He did not take the plates from the table.So we barely had any room to eat.My food was pretty good.My husband did not enjoy his food.Neither did my daughter, so I was not impressed.And I will not ever go back. read more

My family members like this spot so we visit now and then but I can't say I'm ever too impressed. The waitstaff try their very best and are very positive and helpful so that is probably the best part about this Bravo location. The issues are no fault of their own but it feels very understaffed and chaotic at times. We were told there was an hour wait when we visited but the restaurant seemed only about ¼ full. We were able to be seated outside without a wait, and the patio area is nice and quiet off the busy street so I'd ask about this option in nice weather. The patio furniture is also very comfy! I got the pasta fra diavolo which is one of the more unique menu items and I enjoy okay. But, for the expensive price of these entrees like Alfredo or spaghetti and meatballs-- most are over $20- I would rather go to a mom and pop place and not a chain. I never have had a bad meal here, but it seems very expensive for the overall food quality and experience that I've had. read more

this review is for our server yesterday 3/22 Stephanie. She was s fabulous server with great skills. (remembered all our names) she was so attentive to our large party - 19 of us. we didnt have to ask for a thing. she was on top of it all!!!! kudos to her. thx Stephanie!!!! read more

Edited 01/18/26 We had a large party and had a room reserved (no extra fee paid) when we arrived they sat a walk in party with no reservation in the room even though we had it reserved. (Host told us they probably paid the fee, I asked the customer they said they didn't nor did they have a reservation) For the third visit in a row I ordered the veil parmesan, they were out again. Went with fettuccine Alfredo, and after over 90 min from arrival recieved my dried out pasta at just above room temperature just Like 4 others in our group. I will say the server was nice and friendly. But as a group we have decided we will not be back to this location again due to what appeared to be lies, inability to serve what's on the menu and the inability to serve warm food to all in a large group. I expect far more from a restaurant of this caliber and price. Personally I will avoid this location in the future and possibly all locations. I do not like to leave poor reviews as sometimes it is just a fluke, but this has been proven multiple times over that it is not a fluke that it is the normal here. I did leave it as 2 star as the server tried and had a good personality and the food overall is good, I just dont expect cold dried out pasta on something as simple as fettuccine Alfredo. read more

We Just had the most delicious food at Bravo in West Chester, OH. Jasmine was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. The manager was present and friendly as well. The food was so good! You can't beat the warm bread and oil. The toughest part is deciding which delicious dish to order! read more

I don't get out of the house much due to medical reasons, but when I do I always want it to be worth it. We settled on Bravo! Italian kitchen, which has always been good. The crispy shrimp Napoli is an absolute must and didn't disappoint. I also had a dela casa side salad, with their creamy Parmesan dressing, also hit the spot. My mom hot a shredded chopped entree salad which came out wrong a few times, but was rectified in the end. The chicken cutlet sandwich was okay, but nothing special. The shrimp, side salad and of course the bread could have been a meal in itself. I'd return just for that. read more

I have been twice in the last 2 weeks. First time group of 12 ladies . Bad service no refills on water coffee found came out cold. Gratuity was already on bill so not good . Went back this Friday 2 of us. Same waitress cold soup had to ask for a waitress cause we sat for 10 min .Sorry won't be back . Too expensive for cold food and bad service. My guess they are on their way out. Good location convenient when going to the movies but ....chic fil a is across the street quick and hot always! read more

Small portion for price. Crazy to not serve complimentary table bread at Italian place! Service was good, ambiance nice. read more

Good food and service. Was a little bit slow for the amount of people there but overall good experience

Service was horrible. Watched multiple patrons leave the restaurant due to late orders and lack of service. Intro bread took a half an hour to arrive and food took nearly an hour and a half. Once the food arrived, it was fine. Noodles were overcooked, but it was decent overall, but overshadowed by disastrous service. read more

Nice restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Overall I was not impressed with the taste of the food. Good customer service. My only complaint is that I was not offered Parmesan Cheese with my Spaghetti Pomodoro. Stop in and check it out. Enjoy! read more

Don't get the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. Worst I ever had. The chicken tasted like krogers frozen precooked chicken. They get a 3 because they was nice and my wife like her meal. Waitress was nice. Hostess was also really nice. We made a reservation and they asked if we did when we walked in. Then waited 15 mins to see random people who came in after us get seated before us mind you we came 8 mins early... when they seated us they said oh you have been waiting awhile haven't you? And then sat us. They never called our name or any of the ones they sat before us. They just pointed at them and said we can seat you now. So the reservation felt pointless. read more

Hadn't been here in awhile and found it empty on a Thursday afternoon. Had a quick meal that was decent across the board. Eggplant parm and salad were healthy portions that will definitely be enough for 2 meals. Took home the warm chocolate cake which is extremely decadent. I wasn't in love with the strawberry limonata cocktail, entirely too sweet for me, but all in all an ok meal. read more

Horrible experience and a manager that doesn't care. Went for my mom's 81 birthday. There was an error and the server input the wrong order. 25 min later my dad's order was delivered. No manager to apologize. Had to watch him eat as we were all done. No refills no drinks. No comp for the wrong delayed food. I called and spoke to Jacqueline and told her I was a long time customer and what happened. She blamed the waiter who was new. I asked why didn't she come over apologize. Make the scenario right and she had no response. I was polite on the call and told her my family has gone there for 25 plus years and how disappointing the food and service was now. I said that as the manager she could have made the situation right if she would have stepped in. She did apologize again for the waiter and said she would address him. My problem is not with a new waiter it is with a manager that doesn't own the experience. Her apology was insincere and when I said that she has lost a long time customer by her lack of ownership her response was I hope your week gets better. Really. That's your response. It's sad to see this place that use to have a wait list 1/3 full and still not run effectively. They also now charge for bad bread to top it off. There are so many choices in Mason. Please go somewhere that the management takes ownership for the experience vs blaming their staff. read more

Food was excellent. Recommend the Fra Diavollo... my #1 favorite Italian dish. The eggplant parmesan, as always, was delicious. But the highlight of our visit was our server, Stephanie... providing exceptionally pleasant, accommodating, and professional service... the BEST! Recommendation to Bravo corporate: get Tanqueray 10... "the" best gin for a killer martini. You can charge a premium price and people will pay. read more

My friend and I came here for the first time it was great food and great service Erin was the best waitress! read more

The calamari was very chewy and covered up in sauce that was too much for the serving size. Our drinks stayed empty for most of our meal. We were seated in a completely different section from our server's other tables. The entrees were ok-the chicken in the chicken parm needed salt and the shrimp Alfredo needed more sauce. The pepperoni pizza was goo though. read more

Had table reserved. Had to wait 30 minutes even with the place 1/2 empty. Hostess and server very slow. After order, it took 30 minutes for food to arrive. Mash potatoes were cold, chicken Marsala sauce was horrible. Had to wail another 30 minutes for check. Never going back. Incompetents must be from horrible management. read more

the whole restaurant smelled like poop. actual poop. we got up and left before we could even order drinks

Our family has been going here for many years but will not go back. Waitress delivered us a lemonade but with no sugar on the rim. My mom drank some of it and and sent it back stating that there was no sugar on the rim, which is what she was used to. Waitress said that we would have to "pay" for a new one. We objected by the drink was not made properly. Waitress delivered us a new one and charged us for it. I called and spoke to a manager the next day. Manager agreed to send us a refund via a gift card. Never got it so I called back and spoke to a second manager who also agreed to send a refund via a gift card. Again, never got it??? Poor waitress / poor management. We are done with this place. read more
