The bowls are reasonably priced and packed with flavor. My go-to is the regular Build-Your-Own Bowl. I choose sweet potato noodles paired with almond kale salad as my base, Brussels sprouts or sweet potatoes for veggies, and tofu (don't worry -- they have plenty of meat options!) for protein, topped with tomatoes, almonds, and pickled onions. It's so delicious and loaded with nutrients to keep me going. Not only is it healthy and satisfying, but the regular bowl is under $12! The staff is also generous with portions, making it an outstanding value. I can't recommend this place enough. I go regularly, and the food and service are consistently excellent. Thank you, Bolay!

My only slight criticism is that the sweet potatoes were a bit hard.... Still seasoned perfectly! The lemon chicken was amazing, veggies delicious and my favorite was the garlic sauce! I've never had black rice so this was an amazing treat to try. After eating, I didn't feel bloated or stuffed and I could tell it was low in fat but high in protein and flavor. I want to go to the location next time to eat so I can experience the service.

This place did not disappoint, and I wholeheartedly recommend it! I ordered the Kafta Kabob Platter, Lentil Soup, and a side of Hummus. The entire meal was incredibly comforting, the kind of food that truly makes you feel better. The Kafta Kabob was perfectly cooked and wonderfully spiced. The food was not heavy or oily, which is exactly what I needed. Everything tasted fresh and clean. The lentil soup was warm, and soothing, and the hummus was creamy and delicious I almost didn't eat rest of my food. Beyond the excellent food, the people working there were incredibly friendly and nice.

I would give this 1,000 stars if I could. Finally a restaurant that is not a chain in Brandon!…read more The most attentive staff, the owner was awesome, and the place is quaint and clean! But let me tell you about the food! Oh mygahhhhhhhhhhh! I had the Monica sandwich, my friend had The piggy sandwich, we mentioned we love meatballs, but hmmm, how are they? and the sweet waitress said how amazing they are just try one & the owner insisted we not share one and brought out two... I WILL be having that meatball sub soon! Yummmm! Then Robby (I believe that's his name), the owner, got sneaky and brought us both a mini cannoli! Holy cannoli! How can a cannoli be crunchy and creamy and light at the same time? idk but it was! This place also has items you can buy all from Italy! Pastas, sauces, etc. the coffee, beer and wine bar looked enticing too. But since I was on my business lunch break I had to pass. But... i will be taking the hubby and/or family there for dinner. They have pasta dishes that I know I Neeeed In my life! They had gelato toooo! I gotta go back! Soon!

Drive down for a 2nd go - I live about 30 minutes north of Brandon - totally worth the drive. Thought tonight, I'll get Luca Brasi. Jeeez Louise - SO GOOD. That horseradish hits on another level! Employees are super welcoming and helpful. Chill, hole-in-the-wall, locals-vibe with authentic Italian decor. Will def make the drive again. Skip all the other Brandon crappy chains. This is THE SPOT.

Woww! Generous portions and delicious. Our gang ordered a cinnamon swirl pancake, carrot cake…read morewaffle, crab cake Benedict and a couple of breakfast platters. We also got a side of biscuits and gravy to share. The five of us had enough left to feed another couple of hungry people. The waffle and pancake were perfect. The Benedict was a plate cleaner. The platters had perfect over easy and over medium eggs, crisp bacon, Generous hash browns and a choice of toasts, both of which we got were delicious. The real star of the show was the side of biscuits and sausage gravy. The biscuits were crispy on the top and perfect in the middle. The gravy was scrumptious and seasoned perfectly for a group with varying tastes. Definitely going back. Our only regret is that most of us don't live in the Tampa area! The restroom could use a little attention. Lots of paper on the floor.

Okay...I get the hype now…read more This was my first time trying CAVA, and I'm honestly wondering what took me so long. The woman I'm dating put me on, and I'm glad she did because my steak bowl was SO good. Everything tasted fresh, the steak was seasoned just right, and all the toppings came together perfectly. I cleaned that bowl up! The place was packed, which usually tells you everything you need to know, but the line kept moving and the staff handled the rush really well. The prices were actually pretty reasonable too, especially for the amount of food you get. And can we talk about the drink machine? I definitely wasn't expecting all the different seltzer options. That was a nice little surprise and gave me something different from the usual soda choices. Safe to say CAVA has earned a new regular. Whenever I'm craving a salad or bowl but still want something filling and full of flavor, this is where I'll be. Big shoutout to my girl for introducing me because she definitely knew what she was doing!
