Brio and Bravo are in the same group of restaurants, each sporting very similar color motifs and materials -- as well as delightful Italian pop playing in the background.
I went this past weekend with my parents. We'd originally thought about going to Brio -- my mother really likes their ravioli.
Perhaps it was a bad day, but, while the service was excellent -- the actual food was a bit disappointing. My father had steak flatbread, we shared calamari, my mother had a grilled chicken, and I had chianti braised beef ravioli.
We were rather disappointed. The calamari doesn't have the hints of jalepeno that mark Brio's version - breading was thick, and a bit overwhelming to the poor squid.
The pricing is lower than Brio's... and the menu selection is biased towards a slightly simpler fare (IMO).
Given that the two are relatively close geographically, I think this was an attempt at market segmentation. Bravo wasn't bad - it was fair.
But I suspect I won't be going back given the plethora of other little spots scattered about the city.
