BRAVO Cucina Italiana Celebrates 25th Anniversary

BRAVO Cucina Italiana, a national Italian restaurant chain, celebrates 25th anniversary this month with the return of the most popular appetizer from the original BRAVO Menu from 1992, a new birthday inspired dessert, and two new menu combinations that give guests a taste of what has made BRAVO so special for the past 25 years.

Based in Columbus, Ohio, BRAVO Cucina Italiana celebrates its 25th anniversary with special menu items and events. Known as a “polished casual” restaurant offering classic Italian food, BRAVO features popular entrees like grilled steaks, chops, and fresh seafood, as well as flatbreads, pizzas, and salads. The restaurant was founded in 1992 with the mission of finding a right way to create a fresh, authentic, and delicious Italian menu.

In honor of the 25th celebration, BRAVO is launching new items like the Pasta Sampler Trio, which features a plate full of Mama’s Lasagna Bolognese, Cheese Ravioli, and a choice of Chicken or Shrimp Fra Diavolo.

Also in the mix is BRAVO's Mixed Grill, which highlights the best of both worlds with Chicken Griglia and Beef Tornedos. You can enjoy two 2 oz. beef medallions over a Romano crusted tomato with house-made hollandaise that pairs perfectly with the herb marinated chicken breast with lemon caper butter, mashed potatoes and haricot vert.

A birthday celebration wouldn't be complete without a birthday cake. To end your meal on a sweet note, indulge in a slice of Cookies and Cream Confetti Cake, which layers vanilla confetti cake with a chocolate cookie cream and vanilla bean gelato.

Enjoy The Taste Of Japan At NYC's Latest Hot Spot DokoDemo In East Village

DokoDemo serves some of the most authentic Japanese street food, including Okonomiyaki, Takoyaki, and Yakisoba.

DokoDemo in East Village

Shin Takagi wanted to bring the authentic taste and flavor of Japanese street food to NYC, so he and his business partner Kazu Kamehara, who together owns 96 restaurants in Japan, opened DokoDemo in East Village early this summer. At DokoDemo, you can order favorites like okonomiyaki and takoyaki at the counter and watch the food being prepared right before your eyes in the open kitchen.

Sukiyaki Omelet

Tender slices of beef is wrapped with thin layers of fluffy egg omelet in this delicious, shareable side dish. The Sukiyaki Omelet is topped with generous amount of scallions. Eat it as served or drizzle some hot sauce.

Takoyaki

A fan favorite, the Takoyaki - or balls stuffed with octopus - has perfectly crispy exterior with soft, doughy interior. The Takoyaki at DokoDemo is made with octopus, cabbage, carrots, and flour batter and topped with bonito flakes, kewpie mayo, and sweet brown drizzle. You can either order 4 or 8 balls of takoyaki.

The dish includes a bed of grilled noodles with chunks of cabbage, pickled radishes, scallions, bonito flakes, and a protein of your choice.

Okonomiyaki

My personal favorite at DokoDemo, the Okonomiyaki - or savory Japanese pancakes - was such a delight to the palate. The crispy surface and edges of the okonomiyaki was perfectly balanced with the soft, chewy inside that features batter with cabbage, radish, scallions, and other vegetables. Like the Yakisoba, you can top the okonomiyaki with four different types of protein. The dish is served with squirts of mayo, bonito flakes, and sweet sauce.
