Bella Brava Café Review

This cafe, popular with the business set by day and trendy barflies on weekend nights, features an excellent assortment of Tuscan fare, from gourmet cheeses to pizzas with crackerlike crusts. Chef Mario Luigi Maggi was born in Florence and trained in the kitchens of Milan, so he knows what he's doing. This isn't your neighborhood pizza joint. Presentations are gorgeous and worthy of a food magazine photo spread. But don't stare too long. Dig into specialties such as fresh basil roasted salmon with ratatouille and roasted garlic potato. Delicious!

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
