"The Osso bucco was fabulous. We went there before a show at the Benedum. Food was very good and just a short walk to any of the major theatres."
~ Neil F.
Bravo Franco boasts Pittsburgh’s finest Italian cuisine in the heart of the cultural district, conveniently located 50 feet from Heinz Hall, adjacent to the new O’Reilly Theater and 100 yards from the Benedum. Reservations are strongly suggested at all times. (One week in advance is recommended.)

Our dining room is subdued, with a good-sized bar, and large, connected dining areas. Large, comfortable chairs surround tables spaced so that normal conversation is possible without raising one’s voice.
