Brava Modern Trattoria

With a grain of salt, this IS a mountain town restaurant so maybe not much for those who ranked it highly to compare to. Wait staff was great. Prices were astronomical for food that was sub-par. $175 for 4 pasta plates, two glasses of wine and two beers. No protein dishes- just pasta.

Overall, the faint club music and dim lighting paired with small portions does not a quality Italian restaurant make. Missed the mark with this one....

He said “we’ll deal with that later) and pushed for drinks and appetizer orders. When we were not sure yet, he just walked off and ignored our table for a long time. We finally ordered drinks and an appetizer but his demeanor was so rude. He seemed upset that we didn’t order alcoholic beverages. When he came for food orders, again, he seemed to get...
