On May 2, BRAVO! Italian Restaurant & Bar (4500 Interstate 55 Frontage Road, Suite 244) will launch its Social Hour, which will feature a special food-and-drink menu for customers seated in the restaurant's lounge or on the patio from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and until 9 p.m. on Sundays.



Social Hour will feature a special "bite-size menu" that has appetizers such as pesto-chicken sandwiches and glazed sweet potato fries, as well as drink specials and house wine by the glass. All food and drink items on the Social Hour menu will be $5 each.



"This menu is something we've had in mind since we began making plans for something special to do for late nights way back when," Susan Farris, who is the marketing manager for Mangia Bene Restaurant Group, said. "Social Hour is for people who maybe don't normally get to go out late and miss out on happy hour options, or maybe think that BRAVO! is normally out of their price range. With this, we can provide something that's open to them so they can come in and have a nice time in a way that not a lot of other places offer."
