BellaBrava New World Trattoria was born in 2005 in Downtown Saint Petersburg. Over the years since, BellaBrava has been voted Best Restaurant in Saint Petersburg, Best Italian, and is a perennial Guest favorite on Beach Drive.

Less formal than a ristorante, our service is casual, our prices remain reasonable and our emphasis is on a steady clientele rather than haute cuisine. Old World flavors mingle with New World flair. From seafood to traditional pasta, pizzas, and more, we are positive everyone will find something delicious to savor.

BellaBrava’s unique Woodstone™ ovens cook delicious pizzas and a guest favorite, the Crostata.

Our ingredients are fresh, often locally sourced, and evoke the flavors of Tuscany and other delicious cuisines from Italy. With friendly, competent staff, BellaBrava aims to be your casual dining spot.

We were looking for a place close to Saint Pete pier knowing we could find parking at the pier. This was as close as you can get. They had both inside and outside dining. Food choices were good. We both enjoyed our meal and our drink. We ate outside and enjoyed the cooler Thursday night but the inside looked very nice. I recommend this place for a moderate priced Italian dinner. Did I mention the servings were take home size for most people.

We had the calamari as a shared appetizer. It was delicious, but beware of the breaded peppers mixed in there! I had the eggplant parmesan and honestly, it was the best eggplant parmesan I have ever eaten. The portion was huge. My husband had the wedge salad for dinner and it was very satisfying.

Overall a great visit for one night stay in St Pete. We were given a table next to the window so we were able to watch the pedestrians, dogs, etc. our server was fantastic, made great suggestions and had a good sense of humor. The food was so very good. I had the Crostata while my husband ordered the pesto ravioli. Both were incredible. We used the crust from the Crostata to soak up the pesto sauce. I am so happy to have leftovers! The only issue for us was a family sitting near us and the kids were feuding and the parents were scolding. It was a bit distracting at times. We will definitely eat here again when in the area.

My family dined at Bella Brava yesterday for a late lunch before my husband and I headed to the airport for our flight. We had a reservation and were promptly seated. Our server was fabulous; she was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. We started with an appetizer from their specials menu, which was pretty good. The bottle of wine was excellent and paired well with the wedge salad. My daughter and I split the pasta with truffle sauce and our husbands had the lasagne. All was so yummy, and I highly recommend. Our grandson of 6 ate his entire pepperoni pizza and loved it. I tasted a pepperoni from his pizza and found it a bit spicy, but he loved it. Our lunch was far from inexpensive, but it was a great meal. We definitely will be back next time we visit St Pete.

We made reservations, was sat right away which was great due to the bad weather. We ordered a glass of moscato, and a gin and tonic which was great as well . Started with the meatballs which only came with two which wasn’t enough naturally but good . We both ordered the squid ink pasta which is my favorite item them with a great kick . A splash of sauce got into my eye which was extremely painful but the server walked me to the restroom right away . Overall experience was great

Service was excellent, but there's something about knowing that your party is on a 90 min "deadline" to order, eat and skedaddle, and the speed at which your food arrives. My chicken parm was dry and burnt around the edges with pasta that had little to no sauce anywhere. My wife's steak was supposed to be medium rare and arrived well done and her pasta also had only a "hint" of sauce. Those kinds of things make an impression on first-time diners. Would we return, maybe, maybe not. They were "good" like any number of restaurants on Beach Drive. Mmmeh
