My husband and I met a couple friends for dinner and they suggested Bravo. It is a chain (more of an east coast eatery) located at the North Lake Mall. They claim to be an affordable upscale dining experience...and I agree. Dishes will run $10-$25 and side salads around $5.
We were promptly greeted and seated. The hostess was very friendly and we found our server courteous as well. The dishes were of generous proportion and had good flavor. The night we went they were out of port and sherry (a wedding party the day before drank it all). However, the manager came to our table and was nice to suggest alternatives.
If I were to describe how this Italian restaurant fairs compared to others, I would say Olive Garden is on one end and Maggiano's on the other and this one in between the two. They can accommodate large parties as well (I saw them easily transform a couple tables to make for a large party).
They offer $5 Valet or you can park in the mall parking lot, but you may have to walk a short distance. I don't make it to this area often, but I am happy to know I can get a good meal here the next time I visit.
