Reviews for Brava Garden Eatery in Pleasanton, CA

Tonight was the first night my wife and i went here. First date night we have had in awhile. We thought this place was amazing!... We asked our waiter Paul about what we should get and he recommended the surf and turf along with the pasta carbonara. It wasperfect for the two of us! When you get the chance check this place out!

5 stars for our server, he moved us to a different table after complaining about flies. 2 stars for the ambience - beautiful... bougainvilleas and vibes BUT 0 stars for cleanliness - the floor was dirty, food crumbs everywhere and we were plagued by fliesat our table. 2 stars for food - habanero fries (12$ for this is ridiculous), grilled shrimp skewers (too charred) and weremeh! Chicken and trio Empanadas, Chicken Milanesa a Caballo, Rigatoni Mushroom eggless pasta were OK. Considering the price ofeach of these dishes, I would expect more flavor. Chocolate Brownie was delicious. Read more

Beautiful back patio and vibrant, fun atmosphere! And thank goodness they had water spray misters that kept us cool. The food... was yummy. The empanadas were great, especially the cheese empanada. I had the halibut with artichoke which was light anddelicious. The bucatini bolognese was handmade pasta and my daughter ate it all. If you get the chicken Milanese, get it withthe fried egg. The service was friendly and happy. This is the second time we’ve been here when we’ve visited Pleasanton andit’s always a great! Read more

The outside of the restaurant looks modern And inviting. The Inside is tiny and has not much decoration and resembles more of a... hall way rather than restaurant. Once you walk through the restaurant, then you enter a larger patio with cramped in tables. Theatmosphere was load and lively. More designed for a group of friends rather than a relaxed dinner. Now to the food: they arestill working on their liquor license so you can get for now only beer and wine and wine cocktails. The crispy cauliflower wasnot crispy but flavorful with the aioli. The homemade bread was good too. For main dish: carbonara was ok but not carbonara. Ithad a cream sauce with Canadian bacon instead of egg sauce. The chicken Milanese was not crispy and more on the soft side. Theblack ink spaghetti had good flavor but portion was small. Overall the restaurant is not bad but it did not impress Read more

I was really excited to try this place but was sorely disappointed. You walk in and the interior is tiny, but at the back there... is a large patio.. Now I’m no stranger to a patio dining experience but it was not as cute as I had imagined, it wasdefinitely not cute enough to compensate for how bad the food was. I will say the cheese empanadas were fantastic… Aside fromthat the beet salad and chicken Milanese I had were disgusting.. Like low-sodium hospital food disgusting. The beets were notsweet at all and had the texture of mud. The Milanese was cold and rubbery… there was no way it was fried or even baked. Maybethey boiled then microwaved idk. Read more

Amazing place. Delicious food. Appetizers we tried were all great. Portions were good. Did not have to wait to get seated on a... Saturday afternoon. Good service. Found parking on the street quite easily. They have beautiful outdoor seating with lights. Hada wonderful time. Would definitely recommend trying. Read more

Amazing taste, friendly staff and a nice outdoor seating. Went for lunch with family and these all I ordered (in photos). I... think the entree’s are bit pricey thats why a star less otherwise i would have rated a 5. But overall the food is delicious. Read more

Excellent food, fantastic service, great location, reasonable prices. Awesome experience, we will be back! We ordered several... appetizers to share and then each one of our party got main dish. We had some wine (excellent) and soft drinks. Mine was chickenmilanese, large portion and very tasty. Read more
