| - If only one of these would open in Central Phoenix...because this is some awesome stuff! We drove here from NW Phoenix - and it wasn't far at all. I've been told it was a cool sandwich and salad place. That was a bit of an understatement.
Bravi is all about bringing you a bit of Tuscany. Never been to Tuscany. Personally, it feels more like Scottsdale than Europe to me, but maybe Tuscany feels a lot like Scottsdale. But it's the GOOD part of Scottsdale restaurants. Beautiful interiors, dark wood accents, concrete floors, huge wood bar in the back, artfully designed outdoor patio seating - the whole place felt comfortable immediately.
The menu isn't big - but it has just enough of everything. We tried their Three Cheese Pizza, Garlic Bread and their amazing salad that is Sweet Gorgonzola & Pear with candied pecans. Wow. The pizza had a good chewy crust though it was thin, and had a sauce that tasted very "herby" and fresh. The garlic bread was addictive. The salad was out of this world. Both of us were hungry from a long day of hosting a garage sale (who knew it made you that hungry!) and we expected to plow through it all, but there was enough left for a good sized lunch the next day. With a more lady-like appetite, that could have easily fed 3-4 of us for about $25.
Watching the other food, I'm already excited to go back for round two even though I don't normally go up to that part of town often. I think we may need to make a special trip to check out their Mushroom & Pepper Pannini, their yummy looking pastas and of course - their Tiramisu.
It may not be Tuscany, but it sure was good.
