Review Summary

Brama is widely celebrated for authentic Italian flavors, fresh ingredients, and thoughtful preparations that elevate Italian classics. The menu features handmade pastas such as cavatelli with braised beef and mushrooms, gnocchi, and other favorites, along with airy pizzas, burrata, calamari, octopus, and desserts like tiramisu and pistachio cheesecake, all described as vibrant, well balanced and satisfying. The dining room feels warm, cozy and intimate, with a welcoming atmosphere that many call charming and reminiscent of a home kitchen. Service is repeatedly praised as attentive, friendly and knowledgeable, with staff who explain dishes and accommodate dietary preferences, while a few reviews note occasional pacing issues or small portions for the price. The overall impression is that the kitchen executes with precision and passion, delivering fresh, flavorful dishes that justify the price and earn frequent suggestions to share several plates to sample a broad range. Some reviews also highlight the restaurant as a hidden gem and one of the best Italian spots in the city, with guests eager to return and recommend Brama to friends.

Amazing pizza. I've tried 3 types (Margherita, Vegetarian, Sopresatta), & they were all great. Dough is fantastic, almost naan-like. Fresh pasta was good too, but the pizza was insane.

I cannot put into words how spectacularly outstanding this place is in every conceivable respect. Everything I am about to say doesn't even scratch the surface of what you can expect from this place. My girlfriend & I have gone 3 times in just the last 7 days because we have been positively floored by absolutely everything we have had. At this point we're just going down the menu & are continuously getting baffled by how exceptional every new dish we try from this place is. There is truly no restaurant I have ever tried that exudes such passion & love for delicious food of the utmost quality as Brama. Every dish is made fresh, in house with sourced ingredients of the utmost quality imported directly from Italy. The pizzas are absolutely to die for made on fresh homemade pizza dough the Italian way as God intended. The pastas are all freshly made in house from scratch & lord have mercy can you taste it. The noodles are always perfectly aldente, the gnocchi are fluffy pillows of pure ecstasy, the radicchio salad still has me & my girlfriend fantasizing about it, & the homemade pistachio cheesecake is just inexplicably exceptional. Even the coffee is among the best you'll have. John & the team take everything you love about Italian cuisine & do it leagues better than what should be humanly possible. Though the food is worthy of a master's thesis in Italian culinary perfection unto itself, I cannot post this review without highlighting with the utmost gratitude & respect the absolutely outstanding staff & consequent service you will get here. Everybody who works at Brama is exceptionally kind, respectful, professional, provides fast service & clearly has passion for the restaurant they work for. I have never seen anything like it. You've really outdone yourself John. Though we only met you this week, you will always have our support. Keep doing what you're doing & never lose that passion. The world needs more chefs like you.

I very rarely write reviews, however I just had to comment on how amazing this restaurant is. The very first Italian restaurant whose dishes tastes as good, dare I say even better, than my Nona's cooking. The high quality & freshness of every meal at Bramas is something you can no longer find these days. From the appetizers, to the drinks, to the main courses & desserts, everything blew our minds away. You can taste the care & love for good flavourful food the chef puts into his dishes. Wishing this business a long fruitful life, I have now become a fan of this restaurant & chef !!

Omg. SO YUMMY!! First time trying this resto, via Uber Eats, food was almost cold (no fault of anyone but traffic) & WOW! The food tastes AMAZING!! Ingredients felt fresh. Great balance between fatty cochon & fresh herbs & aromatics. We can't wait to visit the restaurant sur place.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend & it did not disappoint. Located in an industrial building, the food was fresh & delicious.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The Burrata was a beautiful appetizer to share with my partner. The Burrata was fresh & the salad that came with it was delicious. The Cavatelli dish was a delight. The portion was generous, the braised beef cheek melted in my mouth. The sauce was flavorful. This dish is one of my favorites. The linguine al Pollo was an excellent dish as well. The hot meals arrived steaming at the table, we could not ask for anything better. The service was impeccable, the staff were courteous & very kind. This restaurant is worth discovering. The only downside we noticed was that it got cold quickly inside when the delivery people or customers entered.

We ordered from Brama last week & everything was phenomenal! The pizza was delicious & the Cesar salad was one of the best I've ever had in my life. The salad was made of crunchy, fresh lettuce, bacon bits that will convert a veg into non veg for the night (me, oups!) & fresh & flavourful croutons. We will be ordering again today & I'm very excited.

This isn't the first time I eat Chef John's food, but the first time dining at the restaurant.
Eating fresh from the kitchen is an entirely different experience.

The Aranchini are perfect. The chicken parm was the best I've ever had in my life.
The pasta is always served al dente.
The cavatelli, to die for.

For dessert, homemade cheesecake & canolli, both amazing.

You can tell the kitchen works with passion as everything on the menu tastes & smells like love.

Can't wait to be back.
Thanks Chef!
