    First timers at Brio Italian Grille. It was three of us and we had a great time. We went on Friday night so they had a little bit of a wait. Since it is located on the side of a mall, you can go shop while you're waiting for your table. Got our text promptly for our table in about 20 minutes. Hosts were accommodating and allowed us to move outdoors. Very nice terrace for people watching, and the British Pub next door had great live musician, so we enjoyed listening to him as we dined. Lamb appetizer was tender and flavorful, highly recommend, it didn't make it to it's photo shoot, so good! All drinks we tried, including my peach bellini and my friends peach martini she ordered, tasted great but weren't too strong. I wouldn't say this was the best Italian food we had but it was good. 4 stars for food and drink, first star is good the outdoor seating and everyday entertainment.

    This place is delicious! The food was fresh and tasty. The atmosphere is great. The prices are pretty high, though. The steak salad was fantastic and the peach Bellini was great. My tiramisu was a little too cold. I could feel the ice crystals as I bit through the cream. Would go back again if others are buying.

    We were looking for a good Italian restaurant around us and after searching we decided to have Friday dinner at Brio Italian Grille. We made the plans before so we made the reservation before going to the restaurant. Do make sure to make the reservation in before otherwise you have to wait for long times. We were greeted by the reception and asked for the reservation. Since we made it before hand we were seated in less than 10 minutes. We were greeted by our server Alexander with butter and bread and for drinks we ordered Straw Limonata. After browsing through the menu we decided to order Lobster Ravioli, and for dinner we ordered Pasta Brio along with Margarita Flatbread with a side of Caesar Salad and for sweet we ordered Tiramisu cake. First we got our drink which was good. Then we got our Lobster Ravioli along with Caesar salad. The ravioli was cooked delicious and we loved the lobster ravioli. The caesar salad was also fresh and freshly prepared. We got our dinner too which included Pasta Brio and Margarita Flatbread. The pasta was also good along with the flatbread. Loved both of them. After the dinner we got the Tiramisu cake. The cake was delicious and tasty. Loved the food, decor of the restaurant and service. Amazing Italian restaurant.

    The service was great, Glenda took real good care of us. The salmon was very nice and the paste was awesome. Couldn't get a cappuccino as their machine was not working. The cheesecake was decadent. An overall great experience for my first time.

    I was a frequent visitor to this restaurant in the past and have never been disappointed. I was back in town and decided to check it out again. It was just as good as I remembered! My wife and I were able to get a table outside on the patio. It's a great place to people watch everyone passing by the plaza. We started with the calamari and it was excellent. Our server Kim came by periodically to check on us. I ordered the shrimp and lobster fettuccine and it was outstanding, with generous portions of shrimp. My wife ordered the beef medallions and it was delicious. Great service, ambiance and food equals a 5 star review. Definitely recommend!

    Todd was our server for dinner and he did such a wonderful job taking of our table. As usual the service at Brio is above par. Will definitely be returning.

    I visited this restaurant in October, 2023. I ordered the Pasta Brio which was delicious. I requested sun dried tomatoes in the pasta dish which they accommodated for at no extra cost. The prices on the menu are a little expensive but well worth it. I didn’t care for the complementary bread that much but it is complementary so I guess I can’t complain that much. Brio Italian Grille also offers a happy hour menu, Monday - Friday from 3pm - 7pm. The design and vibe of the restaurant is upscale which I enjoyed. Overall I would rate 4 out of 5 stars.

    Honestly not very impressed, like some reviewers say the food tastes good but lacks depth in flavor. For the price one would think it would be a wow this is great food feeling. It’s just ok. Kinda disappointed.

    I've been to Brio many times and never have been disappointed! I love their food and desserts so much, I recommend the pasta alla vodka and calamari appetizer. It does cost more than the average restaurant but you are dining so much better then other places, my favorite Italian restaurant ever!

    We’ve made an order via Uber Eats and honestly it was the worst experience we’ve had here so far. The fries were basically non existent and tasted like they were 3 days old and they also got both drinks wrong.

    The Sausage Rigatoni Arrabbiatta, Lasagna, Kid's pasta with meat sauce and Tiramisu were all good! The portion size was big - can be shared. The give out bread and butter at the start of the meal. The service was good but we were in the middle of the meal before they gave the apple juice (which we forgot to follow up too) and didn't give us the correct kid's meal but they corrected it after. The place is nice but the marble top behind/beside seat partitions is dirty! You can see the balls of dust on top of it. When you are sitting down, you can see the pile of dust. It was very disappointing especially some of the dust fell into the food.

    Gorgeous restaurant. Gorgeous area. The food was absolutely excellent. Large party of foodies and there wasn't a single issue or complaint. Service was attentive. Portions were good. Seating was spacious and comfortable. Bread service. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Highly recommend!

    Tried out their new brunch this past weekend! We were seated quickly and Todd was an enthusiastic waiter. He pointed out menu items to us and was very attentive. The brunch menu itself is pretty limited but you can also order off the full regular menu as well. Our favorite appetizers are the shrimp and eggplant as well as the truffle bread! Those two are a match made in heaven! We tried a variety of brunch items for the table to share. Our favorites were the steak and eggs and the avocado toast. We do wish the poached eggs were a little less cooked/runnier yolks but overall still yummy! We sat outside and there wasn’t any ambiance music so it was a little stale but overall always a great experience at Brio!

    I truly enjoyed my Calamari appetizer with Shrimp and Scallop Risotto for the main course and you know I had to have an Ultimate Italian Mango Margarita to wash it all down 😀. I sat outside so I could people watch and enjoy the weather. They also have a happy hour from 3-7pm, go enjoy I highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Struberru 5 months ago on Google
    It was decent. The bread and butter was pretty average, the kalamari was okay but it was kinda rubbery, and the spinach dip was pretty good while it was still warm. I got the pasta alla vodka with sauteed shrimp. I wasnt a huge fan of the pasta, but the shrimp was amazing.

    We actually walked into a different restaurant and waited over 15 min without being acknowledged. We were greeted within a few minutes and Todd had our drinks and appetizers to us in less than 15 minutes! Our food was hot , delicious and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was charming and the service was top notch. And I cannot forget the bread! Grazie Todd, thank you for the lovely meal

    Our waiter was nice, never caught his name though. All the food was pretty good, pasta was well cooked, some sauces did lack certain flavor depth, but over it was nice, ambiance was nice too. Pasta a la vodka was my favorite. Wish the lobster bisque had more bits in it, it was rather smooth.

    Best place on Earth. Why even order main course? We love to share. Amazing appetizers. Great atmosphere. Music Must to come back for good mood.

    Service was fantastic! We had a party of 10 and Juliana did an amazing job! Food was great and price was not too bad either.

  • 1/5 Amy R. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredibly disappointed. Paid $38 for a “banquet meal” that I couldn’t eat due a broken jaw and a soft food diet. I requested mashed potatoes and lobster bisque. Never came. I went downstairs to order a SIXTEEN DOLLAR bowl of bisque to go from the bar. SIXTEEN DOLLARS FOR A BOWL OF SOUP. The bartender didn’t even put any bread or crackers in the bag. I am so tired of the least possible effort for the max cost. There is zero reason to eat out anymore. $23 for 2 cocktails. $54 for a bowl of too-salty soup. Thanks for absolutely nothing. Will be back never. JFC

    I dined here alone for my birthday and I loved every moment. From my first encounter with the front desk personnel, to my waitress. They were all very pleasant and the food was absolutely mind blowing. I’ll be back definitely be back

  • 5/5 Nykole M. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great Italian style restaurant and food is always delicious. My husband is a huge medium rare steak kinda guy and always has a hard time finding a place that consistently cooks it to his liking and we have been here at least 10 times and the steak is cooked to perfection each and every time. No complaints whatsoever, every dish is delicious.

  • 3/5 Lorenna R. 2 years ago on Google
    We went for the first time and we liked it, so we decided to go again. but the waitress service was terrible. The food is good, but for the price it's not worth the stress.

  • 5/5 Mike G. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Mark S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was well prepared and delicious. My server was excellent. Hostess had a burr up her behind. Some of the male servers are snooty. They think they are fabulous, but they act miserable. It's actually funny.

    Brio is a must visit if you are connoisseur for Italian food. And if you do, please do not miss the the Shrimp and eggplant starter! The dish is prepared in a creamy black pepper sauce which I feel literally goes with anything! For main course we tried the shrimp and lobster fettuccine as well as the brio chicken pasta. The fettuccine was pretty good but a bit pricey. We felt the brio pasta was slightly bland so you may consider an alternative.

  • 4/5 Cam 2 years ago on Google
    The food is pretty good! The only callout was that the lamb ordered was overcooked which was a bummer considering its one of the more expensive items on the menu. Service was struggling due to staffing issues when we went, but overall good experience.

    Decent meal but not many gluten free options other than we have GF noodles for like 3 dishes. Beautiful inside and very clean with really nice restrooms. Handicap accessible and on the main floor. The waitress we had was very sweet and as helpful as she could be. My husband loved his lamb chops, but my daughter was not a fan of the spaghetti Bolognese and my GF dish was bland. My daughter did love the cheesecake and I had some gelato that was very good but the only gf option for dessert. The spinach and artichoke dip was delicious and GF that they served with celery sticks. They did have signs for a banquet room upstairs.
