The veal picatta was awesome as was my husband's marsala. We did get salad and wonderful bread, so it was a great meal. We would love to go back when we don't feel so rushed.

My 15 year old son and I stopped in before going to the Theatre and we were not disappointed. My Lobster Ravioli's were perfect and my son loved his fettuccine. Will definitely go again.

This place is very nice. The owner is usually on site and she watches everything. The food is pretty good- kinda basic Italian food but good. I sat at the bar and bartender took care of me.

Service was efficient. Our table had the fillet of cod, Scottish salmon and the chicken parmigiana. Everything was delicious!!! Had the apple crisp for desert. Yummy. Highly recommend that.

Food was excellent! A little to get our food, but everything came out good. Very pleased. The lobster ravioli was filled with lobster and the sauce was great. My sister got the linguine

We came in during such a busy time. The wait time was minimal, the staff extremely friendly, and the food came out hot! This place amazing and is my new favorite restaurant!

Bravo Franco's, located downtown in the cultural district, offers great Italian meals and a decent wine selection. Great place to go before and/or after a show.

It looks so fancy from the window but once you walk in you'll find that you are treated like family. The hostess and bartender were so welcoming and gave us the utmost attention!

The food was great, but....... There wre only three of us and we came at 5 pm so we would have plenty of time to eat and then see Hamilton! For only three of us and early, so the place was very empty.

We had no idea what part of town we were in and checked our phone and saw the intended restaurant was 10 minutes away! Thank you again for fitting us in despite your very busy Saturday night!

The eggplant over pasta with fresh mozzarella was good.The salads and bread were very fresh and the homemade balsamic was delicious. I would go back again.

While the exterior looked very fancy, I have never felt more welcomed at a downtown restaurant. Our bartender was attentive both with his drink suggestions and friendly interactions.

Special shout to our server, for great service and attitude even though she probably wanted to be on her way out. Will definitely plan to return for a more leisurely paced meal.

Had a delicious homemade pasta dish last night. The tomato basil sauce, wow!! And the zucchini appetizer was so light and also delicious!
HelgaAugust 8, 2019
Waitstaff friendly and attentive. We were done in plenty of time to make the Symphony. We had reservations at 6:00 PM and the place was pretty crowded.
PaeJanuary 8, 2020
We were greeted immediately by the gracious host.Will definitely plan to return for a more leisurely paced meal that includes the Original Franco salad.

Stumbled upon this restaurant during a business trip, the cheese ravioli with bolognese sauce was delicious, had a wonderful waitress!

Great food, The servers and Cooks are amazing! I've never had a problem with that place and I have worked next door for 5 years

Some years ago I discovered Bravo Franco quite by chance--a theatre outing brought me to Pittsburgh without dinner plans and as I walked down Penn Ave., the view from the restaurant window beckoned.

I hesitated to come here based off the reviews. I knew it was going to be pricey and we were celebrating so that was okay but the place is unique

Sat at the empty bar for 10 minutes, finally bartender said he'd be over, but continued to talk to hostess. We left 5 minutes later. Had a $50 gift card, didn't stay with free money to spend

Had a great dinner before seeing Hamilton. Busy place but very accommodating.

Very good! Pleasant and great attitude
Chelsey TresslerMay 6, 2018
Worst restaurant experience of my life, truly. After they seated us they showed up with water 35 min later. Were out of nearly everything on their menu. And so rude toward us. FIND ANOTHER RESTAURANT!
