Brava Cucina — Restaurant in Orange

UPDATE: I tried Brava Cucina right after they opened, experiencing some strong sales pressure. I tried them again a few days later, when a call to their take-out number resulted in a request from them to call me back, which never happened. As a result of those two experiences, I gave them a one-star review.

On a whim two days ago, I tried them once more, and had an ENTIRELY different experience. Service was friendly and absolutely outstanding, and I finally had a chance to sample their food. Good Italian food is really very hard to come by, but the pasta dish I tried was excellent. Quite a lot better than the average Italian fare served elsewhere. Really very nicely done.

So apparently I caught them during the birth-pains of opening a new location, with my first experience. What I saw and tasted the other night was an entirely different animal. I'll definitely be back - often. Very happy to be able to...

Brava is the best pasta I've had in a long time. It's a little to go place with big flavor and a couple of tables outside but no inside dining. I found this place on Google so I decided to try it and I tell you, it's the best ever!!! I have returned about 5 times since I found it. We try something different every time and we have not been disappointed once. The portions are very generous and the sauce is enough to get to the end of the meal...I hate it when the pasta sauce is skimpy. Give it a try, your tastebuds will not be disappointed. I also grabbed a few differnt pastas for a friend's gathering and they all loved it too. Thank you to the friendly staff for your...
