We have eaten at the Kansas City location twice and really enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere.

The restaurant, described as "upscale affordable dining," will open in Village Pointe this fall adjacent to the shopping center's courtyard. The menu includes entrees like grilled steaks, chops, pizza and pasta. The Omaha location will also have an outdoor dining area.

The restaurant will be the first Bravo in Nebraska and will serve affordable, Roman-inspired Italian food.

Tried it last night - we sat on the bar side and tried their 3.95 bar bites menu. Overall not bad, if I was at Village Point I would eat here again but I would not drive from downtown for it.

Came here last week for drinks and an appetizer. Was told to get the Shrimp Napoli which was very good, but might be the only item that was excellent from what I know. Nevertheless, if you get the good wait, it may be a great experience.

We ate there last fall once after going to the Funny Bone. Food was pretty good and service was great.

Don't get me wrong, our service was above average, but to get the real accolades, your wait needs to know what is good or not on the menu that day, but those are hard to find, and when you do, you always sit at their tables.

Bravo, now known as Bravo Italian Kitchen, is looking to reopen in Village Pointe in April or May. The restaurant closed in March, 2020, with the entire corporation going into bankruptcy not long after. Their assets were purchased by someone else, who is looking to open up some restaurants in their old locations.

I have only been there once a few years ago. I thought the food and service were really good especially for a chain place. Glad to see it coming back.

I agree. This is definitely good news.

I am also happy. We liked both the food and atmosphere.

Bravo at Village Pointe has closed again. I saw it on Facebook, then tried to call the phone number on their website. It was disconnected.

It was also stated that the signs were off the building, there was a note on the door, or someone with the restaurant said it was permanent.

I haven't gone there often, prob twice in the past 3 years, but both times the place was absolutely packed. Wonder whats going on.
