Tried this place for the first time for lunch and was very pleasantly surprised! Monday at noon, restaurant only had a few customers, so the atmosphere was nice and intimate. The fried calamari and the two sauces it came with were to die for! Their Trio pasta was also amazing, and the creme brulee was so satisfying! Looking forward to coming back for dinner.

First time here
We ordered some appetizers, the caprese was not good, not bad but not good 7/10 the tomato wasn’t fresh.
The wedge salad was a 10/10 really delicious I think was the best of all
The pork chops lack of flavor 7/10
The pasta was really good. 10/10
The service 9/10
They were about to close, maybe next time I will try the desserts

The food was good! I had the Brio special and it was great! The saw they use was excellent. My wife order the Lasagna, I was not a huge fan of it, the top cheese was too creamy for me but my wife did like it so i guess there are mixed opinions on that one. Portions are what you would expect from an Italian restaurant, unfortunately the service was super slow. It took them 25 min to serve the food, when we enter we so plenty of tables still with old dishes in them.

My husband and I dined here on a Tuesday at noon and had wonderful service from a gentleman and a very delicious lunch. Excellent value for money, highly recommended.

I’ve always wanted to try this place and was not disappointed. The ambiance and the service were very nice. I already knew what I wanted to try, which was the Ravioli di Bello. My only complaint was, a bit too salty. Other than that, the food was delicious and so was the Peach sangria. Mike my server was very attentive and knowledgeable regarding the menu. I’ll definitely be returning.

Very good Italian food, friendly service , bit high priced but we got leftovers so you come on top We had the Brio pasta and the shrimp and scallops risotto- both very good, with just a bit too much garlic on the risotto. Lucky I like garlic but not a choice if you’re on a date! Cocktails are excellent. Forgot the bruschetta platter – a really good appetizer! We almost forgot to take pictures until half way through…so good!

I really don’t like bashing restaurants. But this restaurant wasn’t the best. The service was very slow, the restaurant wasn’t busy. We had a party of about 12 – 14 people. We all ordered appetizers and the appetizers were delicious. Then dinner came out. Everyone’s ordered some kind of pasta. The pasta was under cooked. The lasagna was over cooked and tasted like it was made three days ago. This was horrible.

I decided to take myself out to dinner one lovely Sunday and chose to eat at Brio. It is also very close to my house as well. I had never been before so wasn’t sure what to expect. I started with a Caesar Salad and for my main course, the Risotto with Shrimp. The meal also came with bread. I enjoyed the salad. The main entree as you can see what beautifully plated and was also a nice size helping. I was able to take some home. The only downfall was the service. Maybe someone wasn’t able to be at work this particular day but the wait staff did not come to my table to check on me. The restaurant was not overly packed and there were many empty tables. I did not even receive more water, which I could have used. Hopefully the service has gotten better. Not sure if I was impressed enough to return.

Received their Easter promotional emails. Placed an online order for family lunch. It located on the northern side of the Fair Oaks Mall. There were a lot of free parking on the front. There were a few outdoor seating. There was a full bar on the left upon walking in. All dishes were ready for our pickup, when we arrived in about 25 minutes. The Calamari were crispy and served with cocktail and tartar sauces. The Lobster Bisque was smooth and well taste. The Wedge Salad came with bacon, tomatoes and blue cheese. The Sausage, Pepperoni & Ricotta Flatbread had fewer ingredients than expected. The Strawberry Balsamic Chicken Salad was a delicious entree. Both Risotto with Shrimp and Shrimp Fra Diavolo were light and tasted good. The Gorgonzola Cream Campanelle was very good with many ingredients. For kids, the Chicken Fingers were as expected. One Create Your Own Pasta – Rigatoni in Alfredo was well prepared. However, the other Create Your Own Pasta – Rigatoni in Marinara did not have any chicken that pay $1 more for… otherwise, this was a five-stars

Great food and service! The GM even came by to check on us to apologize for the “extra wait” we had. We didn’t experience any additional waiting time. LOL
Our server was on the spot and my bourbon cocktail was spot on. Great experience.
