Brava Garden Eatery — Restaurant in Pleasanton

Horrible, My wife ordered us dinner here 3 nights ago. The worst food ever looked like dog throw up, it was so Nasty we threw it all away, $$$ money down the drain!!!

Orderd the bucatini noddles with bolongese sauce that was basically undercooked hard noodles with crumpled hamburger that smelled like barf and no sauce anywhere! The worst dish ever ordered at a restaurant in my life, I always used to eat here, no problems ever! I will never come back! We spent a lot of money eating here all the time, and this time, it was three entries, all thrown in the trash, we tried to eat the other 2, she ordered, which was " Spaghetti Carbonara" sauce was broken, meat was like weird under cooked bacon and pancheta fat deposits horrible cheap meat like rubber, also basically just noodles with parmasean Noodles are very hard to eat, too. Usually, always order this, it' was our favorite!

"Eggplant meatless poplet balls" Wasn't as bad as the bucatini Bolongese! But it still wasn't good and had no sauce either. Just 3 big dry cheese mush balls. It's really weird. Usually, these are my go-to. The other noodles' dishes were like they decided to serve dog barf instead, absolutely no quality control here anymore, This shouldn't have even gone out of the kitchen just looking at it, you see, it's wrong

also my Wife called to talk to the owner manager Jerimia a few times, and hes never there or just missed him, the second time I called I left my number but never got a call back, I could understand a little misshap here and there esp from a restaurant that prides themselves on hand made noodles and sauces, and salad dressings witch is so much healthier and tastier! that's the reason we always would go there, we loved this restaurant and wanted to support this restaurant for that reason, especially, not too many restaurants do that these days! But this was appalling! I hope the owner reads this and does whatever it takes to resolve the issues because we really liked this restaurant, as it was one of our top favorites...

Main Question: Is it worth the money to eat here? The food is quite excellent and while the rating will remain 5 stars, it is quite expensive to eat here. If you don't mind spending the money, then this is definitely a place to try. Now, the service is impeccable. More on that below. When the service is couple with the food then absolutely the price is worth the meal and experience.

Service: The server and Chef were absolutely amazing. The chef came out and customized our meals for us. The server was outstanding. He was so understanding, so nice and always saw to our needs regardless of how busy and the fact that he appeared to be the only one on the floor.

Food: We had a party of four people. I tried the carbonara, custom salad, Empanada Trio, and the milanesa. We also had the octopus and the brownie for dessert.

The octopus was cooked tremendously well and everything that hit this table was fantastic.

Cleanliness: I have to hit the restaurant here a little bit. My dish had caked on food on it that I had to scrape off with my fingernail and it still had oil on the inside of the plate before any food was brought out. Additionally the water bottle they brought out had syrup or something on the side of it and that was gross.

Silverware: The knife that was brought out for the milanesa was broken.

Overall Recommendation: This was overall a good experience and I would recommend the restaurant if you don't mind looking at your dishes first I spent a little bit of money. The food is outstanding and is on the top of the list of some of the best foods...

Update: Owner just replied to my review. Commented that I cancelled my review. I actually made a reservation for a previous day and they incorrectly made it for today so I cancelled it because they made it for the wrong day. Also I think it's incredibly rude that the owner says that I shouldn't expect people to wear a mask when I go out. If the owner of the restaurant is walking around without a mask and breathing on my food and he could have coronavirus I think that's completely unacceptable. It's also against county guidelines and I can report the restaurant.

I ordered a glass of wine and the waitress came back and said they did not have it. I ordered a second glass of wine and again the waitress came back and said they did not have it. I ordered a third glass of wine and I guess the waitress had it but they never brought it out until I asked for it 15 minutes later after I had ordered it. I was kind of annoyed because I saw all these other glasses of wine flying by me after I have been seated down for over a half hour and still no glass of wine. I also ordered a lemon ricotta ravioli which was decent. We ordered a cauliflower appetizer which seemed undercooked. O and the owner was walking around with a chin diaper (i.e. mask around a chin and not even covering the...
