New restaurant alert for my Franklin friends! 🍕
We tried Bravado Small Plates & Pizzabar over the weekend, the new small plates and pizza bar at Cool Springs Galleria, and it was so good. Everything tasted fresh because it is. They grow their own herbs and tomatoes, import their flour from Italy, and skip the seed oils.
We started with the caprese salad and Tuscan risotto, then split The Queen, their classic margherita. For drinks we tried a little bit of everything: Second Wind, Salt of the Earth, No Monotony, Old Habits and Bold Move. My pick? Second Wind if you love an espresso martini vibe, and No Monotony if you love limoncello.
Honestly, we loved it so much we ordered more Tuscan Risotto, Sunday Spaghetti and the Magic Mushroom pizza to go. If you’re looking for a fun date night or a girls’ night spot, put this one on your list.
