Editorial Review for Bravo Cucina – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Patio diners take in the Promenade's passers-by and street performers; others escape the street scene in the gleaming wood-and-brick dining room. A low-fat, low-salt menu features starters such as vegan butternut bisque. Pastas include mushroom ravioli, with smoked mozzarella and creamy Marsala. Bite-sized, soft potato gnocchi are brightened with basil-flecked pomodoro sauce. For dessert, creme brulee has a crisp sugar glaze, and cannoli overflow with marscapone and tiny chocolate chips.

First off let me say that i am ranked the #3 food critic in the nation so please take what i have to say very seriously. The service here was unbelievable... and i dont mean that in a good way. The waiters we're rude and not friendly, the manager checked out my girlfriends cleavage, and the food was so so def. Nothing Special. What upset me the most - our waiter brought out the check totaling $188.25 we paid it promptly in cash, but as we were getting set to leave he returns with $188 dollars in one dollar bills and he started to make it rain he made it rain he made it rain our heads (for those of you who dont understand the concept of making it rain, its when someone showers you with money) the whole time he was singing "i make it rain i make it rain i make it rain on my ohhhs" REALLY WEIRD AND UNCALLED FOR!!! If you decide to visit this restaurant against what you already know.... make sure to bring an umbrella! You will get rained on!
Pros: I got a job as a street performer
Cons: Bad Service followed by the waiter making it rain on your head

This place had bad service. I mean you expect a quality of service in some of these "nicer" restaurants. Not cheap food and snobby waiters. Way to ignore cultural and religious diversity by trying to feed meat to a vegetarian!
Pros: Its in LA
Cons: Everythig else
