This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
La Brava has been serving Southsiders for a couple of years, and the fact it's always busy is testament to chef's use of the finest and freshest ingredients, as well as to an exceptionally friendly welcome. Owners Aris and Rico have managed to create the perfect balance between great food and relaxed surroundings. They recommend you choose from their huge ‘piccoli assagini’ menu – essentially Italian tapas, with pasta dishes that are all fresh, vegetable choices cooked to perfection, and the risottos so good you may order twice – all at an average price of just £4.75. Of course if you do want more than a taste they will happily make several dishes in a great big main size portion. Call ahead if you are lactose or glucose intolerant and the chef will prepare something specially. Home-made Italian desserts finish off a meal nicely – try the cannoli and you may have to roll yourself home. There is also a small deli should you wish to pop in for some cheeses, cured meats or ice-cream.
- High point: Great fresh food at very reasonable prices
- Low point: Often busy so book ahead
