Bringing together their Argentinian roots, Italian heritage and Northern California location, Brava Garden Eatery is a dream come true for husband and wife owners German and Yanina. Both worked in restaurants for many years and knew they wanted a restaurant of their own one day.
And it’s in their blood… When Yanina was a young girl in Buenos Aires, Argentina, her grandmother owned a gelateria. It’s name: Brava, meaning brave, powerful, independent. And her grandmother was. So, it was only fitting that this dream restaurant would be named for her grandmother’s shop of many years ago.
Bright, airy spot with a patio focused on Argentinian & Italian fare, especially pasta & empanadas. Based on 359 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.4 stars. Price

Unique outdoor dining in Pleasanton. The patio is in the back of the restaurant away from street noise. Service was attentive and delicious food came out quickly. I had the mushroom risotto with scallops (I thought the scallops were a bit undercooked but that may just be my preference). Taste and presentation was excellent. The crispy cauliflower dish came with tasty dipping sauces but they were served in plastic cups. Not right for a restaurant like this. Cheapened it a bit. (See pic)

We visited this place for a friday dinner. The ambiance is pretty nice, outdoor patio seating. The food is good, I liked the pasta. I had scallops risotto which no one else shared with me. I fell sick the next day, terrible diarrhea.

We were here to celebrate my Husband’s birthday. The reason we chose this place in the first place was because of the array of vegetarian/vegan options in the menu. We ordered the crispy cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cheese empanadas, bruschettas and french fries for the vegetarians & some chicken and beef empanadas for the rest of us. Everything was finger licking good. The empanadas here are a must try for sure. Apart from the appetisers we ordered the steak, pork ribs, pastas and chicken milanesa for entrée. The pork ribs deserve a special mention and it was melt in the mouth good.

I recently visited this restaurant and while the food and service weren’t quite up to my expectations, I have to say that the ambiance was really lovely. The decor was tastefully done and created a warm and inviting atmosphere, which made for an enjoyable lunch out. While the food may not have been exceptional, it was still decent and presented nicely. The service was a bit slow, but the staff were friendly and accommodating. All in all, I would recommend this restaurant for a day out with friends or a romantic date, especially if you’re looking for a nice setting to relax and unwind.

Brava Garden Eatery’s empanadas were delicious, though other dishes lacked flavor despite their appealing presentation. The outdoor patio seating offers a pleasant ambiance. It’s a pricey spot, but the service is commendable. Wouldn’t mind going again with my misses to get a break from the kids.

Very cool ambience, awesome service and delicious food. They empanada trio can’t be missed. It’s crispy and delicious. The steak and the milanesa were also very good and came in generous portions.

Tonight was the first night my wife and i went here. First date night we have had in awhile. We thought this place was amazing! We asked our waiter Paul about what we should get and he recommended the surf and turf along with the pasta carbonara. It was perfect for the two of us! When you get the chance check this place out!
