Always go to bravos for the most amazing dinner. Tried a new dish (for me) but will highly recommend The meatloaf as well as The Lamb Shank but the chicken cord on blu is also fantastic.. Good luck picking one. read more

Fancy and tasty! A creative menu, each person was happy with their choice, although the pork chop was the number one favorite. Black Mambo cocktail was an experience- with a unique flavor. The finishing affogato was perfect. Definitely recommend this restaurant read more

The most excellent service. Excellent food. They are very on point with customer service! Ambience was wonderful, impeccable restaurant.!

One of our favorite restaurants in Puerto Vallarta. We always make it a point to come here at least once during our stay. Amazing food and excellent service!!! read more

The service is impeccable and spot on! The food is amazing as well, however, most entrees are more than enough for two people! I had the creamy chicken with mushrooms and spinach, and I could barely finish one chicken breast. Thankfully, I was going back to the condo so I could take the rest with me, but if I was planning on going out after , it would have been wasted. I might suggest that they reduce the servings to make it more manageable to finish! read more

Wonderful food, excellent service, went there twice within 3 days. It was that good. Something different in Puerto Vallarta, very soft ambiance. No loud music or rowdy people. read more

Great food, amazing service! With prices being what they are, we are very particular about eating out. The food has to exceed what we can make and quality of service needs to be a good experience read more

A lovely place with good food and good service. Four stars because just good; not great. And the menu could use a refresh and some innovation. Have been here countless times with different people over the years, and it's quite dependable. However, on our last visit, several entrees were only warm, the braised ribs were just overcooked pot roast, the steaks were overcooked, and the potatoes just tasted like warm raw garlic. Granted we were in a larger group, so that can always challenge a kitchen. The staff remains as sweet as ever, although at times we felt rushed. So we'll certainly return. But still keep other options open. read more

Simper disappointed. Had dry mashed potatoes- very plan veggies and tasteless shrimp. The salad and soup were great. Staff was supper but food was a disappointment read more

This is one of the most incredible restaurants in PV. The service is always spot on and many of the staff have worked here for years. The dining room is stunning with low light and romantic settings, air conditioned, and comfortable seating with lovely table settings. The food is delectable from the warm bread to the gooey desserts. Always a 5/5 experience and very affordable for local fine dining. read more

Absolutely delicious restaurant that is very international like the signs says. All indoor dining and the decor is very simple and homey. My family and I came here for Easter dinner and had a great experience. For appetizers, we ordered the calamari and bistro salad. The calamari was cooked to perfection and was not heavily breaded, which I loved. The dressing on the salad was very refreshing and just what we all needed. For entrees, we ordered the famous braised short rib, Cajun spicy jambalaya and carbonara pasta. Everything was outstanding, but the only dish that was just okay was the jambalaya. It was very spicy so if you love heat that is a great dish to order. The pasta came with a generous amount of bacon and was so creamy and delicious. Short rib was pull apart tender. Wish it came with a tad bit more sauce but absolutely delicious and would recommend. For dessert, we each ordered our own. Portions were enormous that we had to get it all to go. Ordered the churros, ginger coconut flan, carrot cake and cinnamon bun. Churros was the winner for me! For drinks, we ordered the margarita bravos and Cadillac which did not disappoint. Highly recommend coming here for a great dinner. read more

Absolutely delicious food and fantastic service. This is the restaurant to go to if you are in PV.

If you are in a hurry, this is the place. The ambience is really nice. The food is high quality & nice preparation. BUT, if it's just the 2 of you, you will re rushed thru dinner in 35-40 minutes. Within 5 minutes of finishing our starters, the main course arrived. Then, as soon as one of us was finished with that, the waiter was trying to whisk her plate away. We were out of the restaurant in 45 minutes. Last year, we went here twice & it was great. Don't think we will return. read more

This is our go to spot to close out our time in Vallarta. Soft lighting, jazz playing in the background. A menu with all kinds of delicacies for your taste buds, duck breasts, rack of lamb, lasagna, excellent catch of the day items. Excellent top shelf cocktails and wine list. read more

What a fabulous experience. I definitely recommend this restaurant. I went on New Year's Eve. No reservation. They found me a seat. The food and the service was awesome. The bread and butter was great. They recommended a half bottle of wine which was great. I had a Caprese salad and then mahi-mahi over risotto. It was as good as any meal I have had anywhere. I will absolutely return. read more

Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service. Hit on all three. Here the day before Valentine's Day, by reservation only. Staff didn't miss a beat. Neither did the food. Great "special date" place! read more

Drinks no alcohol, ambience great, food mediocre. We left after appetizer and drink. Service good.

As usual Bravos has exceeded our expectations. Our meals have always been spectacular. We started out with the coconut martini (had them brought in from Siam next door), aricini, fried barrata, onion soup. All appetizers were excellent. Lasagna and chicken fried steak was delicious. Two of us had the creamy chicken and the linguine and sauce was delicious but the chicken was a bit tough and dry. Short ribs were on point. Service is always 10/10. Make reservations as it fills up quickly! read more

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here last night. We always make a plaint to book at lease one reservation when visiting PV. This morning we decided to book another before leaving. Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, attentive and friendly service make this restaurant a perfect setting for an intimate dinner for 2 or raucous party of 8. Never disappoints. read more

After a memorable meal in 2018, a repeat was high on our dining list for 2019. MENU: Salads, soup, steak, duck, ribs, pork, poultry, lamb, risotto, pasta, fish, shrimp, desserts. FOOD: Soup of the Day - $5.75 USD Cream of zucchini was the SOTD. The trio of creamy, sweet and savory flavors married well but the soup could've been a lot hotter in temperature. The Wedge - $7.00 USD My spouse loves this easy-to-make salad and orders it everywhere we go! Wash, chop, pour, serve... $7 please. Anyway, the half head of lettuce was fresh and came with a creamy blue cheese dressing. Sprinkled to the sides were fresh tomatoes and crunchy bacon bits. Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto - $14.50 USD As taught to me by my friend, the term "oral orgasmic" fits the dish perfectly. After having just a spoonful off of my spouse's dish last year, I wanted an entire plate to myself! Piping hot and creamy risotto and crunchy shrimp equals heavenly moaning. Baked Cheese Cappelletti - $9.50 USD Cappelletti look like little dumplings. They were stuffed with three types of cheese (ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan) and finished in a pink sauce. We added chicken strips for protein (+$3.75). Very good dish but no wow-factor. DESSERT: My spouse wasn't feeling well so we unfortunately had to leave and skip their amazing Churro Basket. Next time! SERVICE: We were immediately greeted and seated. Our server was terrific! TIP: Reservations aren't really needed regardless of what the website states. Prior to arriving in PV, we made advanced reservations as their calendar was showing sold-out dates. One thing led to another and we weren't able to keep our reservation. The next night, we walked in to lots of empty seats and got right in. OVERALL: So far, PV's best Italian food, hands down. Definitely deserving of 5 shiny stars! read more

Oh boy, where do I start? Wife and I come to PV frequently but we just tonight discovered this place. Obscure space on an obscure street, but what a gem! Everything from the appetizer, bang bang shrimp, to the bread, wine, margaritas, main courses and deserts was exceptional. I had the delicious jambalaya, and my wife had the chicken and mushrooms in cream sauce over linguini. For desert, we had red velvet cake and a couple of Mexican coffees, fantastic. To top it all off, the service was exceptional. We were served by Manuel and Aldo, both were top notch!! We are total foodies and love discovering new places. This place has it all, very highly recommended! read more

Exceptional dining experience. Great ambience...lively without been noisy, beautiful, contemporary decor that was both sophisticated and comfortable, service was professional and friendly and the food was amazing. I had the filet mignon that was melt-in-your mouth tender served with perfectly cooked vegetable. My husband had their delicious Chicken breast with thyme sauce, goat cheese and pine nuts. Another winner! Try to save room for their decadent brownie with vanilla ice cream. An all around 5 star experience! read more

This restaurant has the best chicken piccata I have ever had in my 40 years of eating solid food. I was blown away. We live in San Diego and have eaten at many restaurants. We have traveled to many cities, states, and countries, and here, in Puerto Vallarta, I at last found it. The perfect chicken piccata. I usually do not like gnocchi, but it soaked in all the flavor and I savored each bite. It was perfect. At first I thought it didn't have enough capers, but I was wrong. It was 100% perfect. We came for restaurant week with our 2 kids. The capresse salad was beautiful and the kindly accommodated my incredibly picky 4 year old. My husband got the seared tuna and not only was it beautiful, it was melt in your mouth. He had to guard his plate from my 7 year old! I love this restaurant. Michael was so nice and told me if I emailed him, he would send me the recipe! How sweet of him! Eat here! You won't regret it! read more

We were recommended bravo by multiple people, so we decided to try it out. Unfortunately, our experience was pretty mediocre. Maybe because of the specific dishes we ordered. We tried the sausage ravioli, salmon with garlic mashed potatoes, and churros for dessert. Churrros were not cooked through and were doughy. The Salmon had a very fishy taste, and veggies were not cooked all the way through. The ravioli was cooked very al dente and was quite chewy in some parts. The Marinara was good, but it wasn't good enough to fix the dish Service was great, which is why this gets two instead of one star. read more

Overall the food wasn't as good as expected. There were three of us. Only one person loved their rack of lamb.

This is one of the gems in Puerto Vallarta! Fantastic food, wonderful staff, and a varied menu that should satisfy everyone. My last meal was the Mongolian Pork Chop with a Bistro salad. It was all done to perfection. Tonight I'm going to try their ribs because I'm in the mood for barbecue. I'm also going to order the Bistro salad again because it is so fresh. Go and enjoy yourself! read more

I am going to keep this simple. Bravos is, and has been, one of the best restaurants in PVR. We have been many times, going twice each time we are in town. We have never been disappointed. Service, food, ambiance, even location are first rate. It is not cheap, but I have NEVER complained about anything. If you go to PVR, do yourself a favor and go - you won't regret it! read more

AMAZING service & DELICIOUS food! My son and I are GF. They modified the chicken parm for my son with a grilled chicken and brought him a marinara and Alfredo sauce. They use gluten free barilla penne. I had the gf braised short ribs! I've been craving them for quite some time and haven't been able to find them Gf. Never thought I'd get them in puerto Vallarta Mexico! While I don't eat seafood, everyone else in my family does, so my son was super excited that they had gf calamari! The others in my family enjoyed lamb shank, chicken parm, wedge salad, clam chowder, and shrimp & asparagus risotto. To drink we enjoyed manhattans, Sauvignon blanc, lemon drops, Fresca, and virgin piña coladas. I wish they had more gf dessert options, but we shared vanilla ice cream, lime sorbet & berry sorbet. The gluten eaters enjoyed the churro bucket for dessert and bread basket to start with. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly!! I should've taken pics but we ate too fast! read more

This is the perfect restaurant in Puerto Vallarta to get a fabulous dinner!!! Started with a Cesar salad that perfect. Then ordered the lamb shank and grilled tuna.

What a wonderful treat my wife and I had to go to this fantastic restaurant in PV this week. The food is fresh, we had garlic shrimp, fresh Mahi, and a great dessert. Also, the Cadillac Margarita was stellar! Safe and very COVID aware. Get very comfortable - enjoy! read more

Great food and reasonable prices. Best meatloaf I've ever had....Very unique the way they prepare it. Also, the menu options were very plentiful and great service. Looking forward to returning here. read more

We walked in off the street and they seated us right away. The servers were amazing, always watching the table but not being to pushy. The food was amazing, the prices were great too. read more

Walked in without a reservation and even though crowded, we got a table within 5 minutes. I got the coconut shrimp and my husband got the salmon. Both were excellent. The service was excellent. I really cannot say anything negative about the whole experience. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who hasn't tried it before. We didn't try the wine or desserts so I cannot do a full review. Overall this is a great place! read more

Every time we eat at Bravos we are greeted with a warm welcome - the staff is efficient, accommodating, and seriously on point. Michael, the owner, is just a genuinely nice guy, and the food? Pure deliciousness. If Italian is on your mind, Bravos is the place to be. It's not a suggestion; it's a tasty imperative. read more

Party of six, probably at least one picky b*tch in the group. Came here on the recommendation of a friend. I had the fried meatloaf (also recommended by said friend), and it was just ok. Apps were all great though. The other five in our party raved about how good their entrees were. My friend was shocked I didn't care for the fried meatloaf, he said it was his favorite. But we'll definitely be back and I'd probably try the meatloaf again, so many people said its one of the best things on the menu, so maybe it was just an off night. But it's a great space, attentive and friendly staff, drinks were on point, so overall a really great place! read more

Absolutely amazingly delicious meal! Made to perfection! The service was perfect! Our waiter was one of the first I've ever had in many years. We also enjoyed the beautiful sitting in the restaurant. Definitely going back! read more
