    While the food is as great as many of us have heard and the portions are huge, it was the service that took it down to 3 stars. Yes, I was there with a larger group, but it was a Wednesday early in the evening and the group had reservations for weeks so they should have planned for us. I don't know if it was the kitchen or the wait staff being spread too thin, but my table had to wait for an hour for our food with the table next to ours got food in 30 minutes and another table didn't get their food until a while after. I along with others had to just taste our food and then put it in to a take home container. My choice linguine and marinara sauce and mushrooms was delicious there and warmed up at home. I ordered extra sauce and boy did it have it. The room they used was nice but dated. While the food is good, I will not use them for one of my Meetup group dinners because of the service.

    The food was excellent. I had chicken parmigiana. Two large chicken patties cooked perfectly. Angel hair pasta and sauce was delicious. My husband had Dante's inferno. The spice was perfect and the portions were enormous. Our friends had lasagna and shrimp with garlic and oil. They said theirs was delicious as well. Freshly baked breadsticks were yummy as well. The service was exceptional. It was pretty empty in the restaurant, not sure why because the food is amazing. Very reasonable prices as well. Definitely would come back when in the area.

    Our second visit was just as fulfilling as the first. Tonight there was live music which added to the ambiance and the food was outstanding.

    chicken piccata

    Clean... welcoming and the food came fast and hot! Our waitress was very sweet and so was Dom--the bus boy helping! I had a salad , chicken, piccata, and some breadsticks. And tiramisu for dessert it was delicious.

I was eager to avoid the kitchen and had always wanted to try the restaurant, so I was game. We were able to get a reservation immediately and headed on over. Upon arriving, we were promptly seated and greeted by our server. We started our meal with the grilled calamari - a nice change from the typical fried that is usually served in restaurants. It was light and filling, and accompanied by some delicious bread and olive oil with balsamic to dip. For my main course, I chose the orrechiette pasta. The portion was gargantuan - I can have it for at least 3 meals - and the flavors were so balanced and well-composed. Our server did a good job of making sure we had our food promptly and that plates were cleared out as we finished each course. She was friendly as well. We really enjoyed our meal and are looking forward to introducing friends and family to the restaurant soon!

No glasses for water People had to garnish there own Bloody Mary. We waited 1.5 hours for glasses for water. Water pitcher but no glasses for 1.5 hours. Check out how the Bloody Mary should be served! Please do better Bravo.

    Can I just say that I do not at all understand these critical reviews of Bravo…read more My family and I have been to this location MANY times and all of these critiques seem completely unwarranted and inaccurate. For one, the food is very very good. Bravo has 4 dishes that I would say are exceptional: Chicken Marsala, the Chicken Scalopini, the Pasta Bravo and the Salmon Sandwich. The Chicken Marsala is one of the best iterations in the area. What I like about it personally is that it isn't overly sweet and fruity like many other Marsallas. The garlic and mushrooms are well represented in the sauce and the chicken is always moist and never dry. The Chicken Scalopini is the "freshest" version of Scalopini amongst Italian restaurants in the area. What I mean by that is that this isn't some processed white sauce thrown over chicken. This dish has one of the best lemon butter cream sauces in the area and the feta, mushrooms and capers make it the most sophisticated iterations of the dish in the area. It's far above Olive Garden's version and slightly above Carraba's. The Pasta Bravo is like a Penne Alla Vodka with chicken. The sauce is, again, very unique and the best of its type in the area. Bravo has great sauces! It's very very fresh tasting with no artificial sweetness or textures that plague other pasta dishes like this in the area. Finally, their Salmon Sandwich is possibly the best lunch option in the Livonia area. I don't know who their salmon supplier is, but for some reason the salmon they use is incredibly moist and buttery compared to others in the area. It completely makes the sandwich. Also, the aioli on the sandwich is very very good (again, Bravo has great sauces) This is a great restaurant to go to as a family. The booths are huge and they're not stacking you on top of each other like they do at other spots. It's always extremely clean and the layout is great as the full bar is available but secluded from the rest of the sit down area. Every server I have had at Bravo's has been wonderful. I've been many times and have never had a single poor experience. If anything, I find their waitstaff to be exceptionally courteous and prompt. Even though this isn't a diner, I get loads of refills on the coffee I always order and every accommodation I have from my diet has always been dealt with smoothly. I love the staff here. I will be back!

    Ardiana's is one of those unassuming neighborhood gems tucked into a shopping center off 10 Mile…read moreand Meadowbrook in Novi. From the outside you might not expect much. Inside, it's really welcoming. Clean, comfortable tables and chairs, and it looks like they recently refreshed the place with updated walls, art, and lighting. Nothing fancy, just done right. We started by sharing a Greek salad and it was very fresh, with an excellent dressing. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was out of this world. I honestly do not know how the chef did it, but the chicken had this incredible crispiness and freshness, with a perfect crunch that still stayed juicy. The portion was extremely generous. The pasta was excellent and the sauce was exactly what you want with chicken parm. I could not even come close to finishing the whole plate. I heard a certain renowned Italian restaurant owner loves to come here for the parm! She says no one makes it quite like Ardiana's chef. The owner, Robert, brought out a carrot cake for us to try. He said it was all organic. It was fantastic. Moist, with a great caramel sauce and walnuts. At that point I was waving the white flag because it was just too much good food. Robert also mentioned they are opening a small bar soon, which will make this place even better for a casual dinner. If you are in Novi and you want a great Italian and Mediterranean spot that over-delivers, put Ardiana's on your list.

The shape of the fry was curly, not like the typical curly fries, but thicker on one end, so a bit dry and bland. I wouldn't order this again. Although the aioli was good. The b- was delicious. I would definitely order this again. A tad bit oily, but that's to be expected. It also came with a side of roasted potatoes. The best part of the meal was definitely the bs- huge portion that just melted in your mouth! I had been seeing so many positive reviews for the cc, I was so excited to try it out. It was okay...a bit dense for me. It seemed like it was served right out of the fridge. Overall, pretty solid dinner. I'd definitely go back to try more items, including breakfast.

Had reservations but you can still walk in most evenings. Nice size table with plenty of room for food but small enough for everyone to talk to others.

I talked the pizza up and the person next to me decided to try one and was very happy she did. The rest ordered a mix of pasta dishes, salmon and a pasta salad. Of course we enjoyed their famous bread that had to be refilled. The major problem was the service. What started as a little slow went to not checking after the meals was brought out by 2 other servers. One person didn't get his pasta salad until I flagged down another server and explained what happened. The missing salad was quickly brought out and our drinks refilled by that kind server. Our normal server quickly showed up when she saw what was happening. Even with the problem with our service most of us look forward to coming back.
