Brava - Lenox

AMAZING! I absolutely love a tapas restaurant where you can share a variety of dishes. It’s such a wonderful experience, especially with some good wine! You might think I’m crazy, but you HAVE to try the Swiss chard! The boom boom shrimp was fantastic, and the sauce on the patatas bravas is delicious—just be careful, it’s quite spicy. The sirloin was cooked to perfection! The special pizza featured pork, onions, and pineapple (I can’t remember the cheese), but it’s definitely a MUST-TRY. I know pineapple on pizza is often frowned upon, but this was AMAZING! For dessert, we enjoyed the bread pudding and passion fruit gelato, both of which were very good! I highly recommend this restaurant!

If I could rate this restaurant 3.5 stars, I would. It was quite lively for a Wednesday night in October, and both the host and wait staff were friendly. The sangria tasted more like a cup of Concord grape juice over ice with just a hint of wine. The shrimp in garlic sauce tapas was delicious, especially when paired with bread. We also ordered the arugula salad and sausage/mushroom pizza, which were satisfying but not particularly memorable—nothing I would highlight when recounting my trip to the Berkshires. If you're looking for a decent meal, Brava delivers well enough.

Another popular spot in Lenox! The tapas menu is fantastic, and the lamb chops are a must-try—cooked to perfection. I opted to sit at the bar, but the dining area filled up quickly. It's a lovely place to enjoy shared tapas with friends.

Brava is one of my favorite spots for pizza in Lenox. During my first visit, they were really accommodating to our large party and we had nice outdoor patio seating. They are also open really late which is super convenient. They have great pizza my favorite being the basil pesto. Bruschetta was a bit weird, having a tomato jam instead of actual tomato. It was alright but I would have preferred it with just regular tomato. I ended up going back a few times for their pizza. The interior was also really nice but sometimes the pizza took a while.

We chose the tapas place Brava as our dinner out while staying in the Berkshires, and were not disappointed. A warm, inviting interior, friendly service, lovely wines and awesome wild mushroom pizza made for a nice dinner date.
