Yelp.com Review - by Nicole S.

4.0 of 5 stars. This place is really close to 5 stars, except our waitress was a bit ditsy. She was quick to recommend the bruschetta. The description was good so we got that instead of trying to decide on something...

Yelp.com Review - by Jodi W.

4.0 of 5 stars. Gruner Veltliner on the wines-by-the-glass-list wins an instant extra star. It's hard to do food well in such a large scale restaurant in the shadow of a stadium, but they do a pretty good job here....

Not so Bella

I haven't been to BBV in over ten years, and my dining experience this past Saturday night left much to be desired. We went to celebrate a birthday (we had a group of about 18) and the service and drinks were...

Yelp.com Review - by Sarah E.

4.0 of 5 stars. It is a nice restaurant with good food. I suggest you eat here during lunch where it is a bit cheaper. The flow of the restaurant could have been better, and parking around there sucks! They do...
