A large part of that is due to the restaurant being directly across the street from the Trinity Repertory Company’s theater, where we are season subscribers. It’s sort of a tradition that we get to Providence a bit early and stop in at Bravo for a Continue reading Dining Review: Bravo Brasserie in Providence, RI Please follow and like us:
