Reviews of Brio Italian Grille
Jeremy Glover
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.

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!
Nykole Marquez
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.

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.
Dr. Lana
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.

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

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.

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.
Michael Boanta
We loved it! Great food, unskilled service but compensating by excellent attitude and willingness to please. Really friendly and accommodating, making our birthday party a memorable one.
Negosa Family
Good pasta selections. Both food serving size and service were great. The ambiance was awesome.
Matthew Kurto
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.
Makeuplov13
To our surprise the steak was perfectly seasoned. Mashed potatoe was good too. Tuscan Sausage Scrambler was good too, but the ciabatta was way too salty to the point I couldn't eat it.
alexandra annette
The food was soo good 😍😍😍 I enjoyed the sour dough bread and it tasted great with my pasta sauce. I got the ravioli de bella and it was divine. Wishing I had more now. service was meh especially for it being a slow lunch but food was very delicious I cant complain
Cam
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.
Leon S. Sarkisian
Nice meal, excellent tasting shrimp and eggplant with a pepper sauce. Good bread, good service, nice atmosphere, very clean, inside or outside eating, nice bar.

I always come here and sit at the bar. Lately though the service has been slow every time I come between 5p and 7p for Happy Hour. It’s a Friday Eve today. The bartender guy seems to try. but he needs some help. There are tables outside around the bar waiting to be served. I’m sitting at the bar waiting, and he doesn’t look around the bar. It’s like he’s doing it all from getting dirty dishes, making drinks, cleaning up, and has no time to really eye the bar. EVERYONE is waiting, and we can’t get his attention. The lady manager who appears to be manager appears in a dress, helps restock some, but doesn’t even acknowledge the customers waiting around the bar to try and help. People have been waiting at the surrounding tables around the bar just waiting and waiting. It’s really sad. Come Brio! You have great happy hour food and drinks! Get it together! The bartender looks completely beat and disgusted

I will recommend a steak grill salad but… stay away from Brio Pasta. Chicken chewy over grilled. If you expecting reach Italian taste it is not there.😞 …
Arkojyoti Hore
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.
Luciana Arruba
Great salmon fresco and great chicken. The guy behind the bar, the 'bartender' seemed a little overwhelmed and too loud, yelling at coworkers, we had to listen to that, but that would be my only complaint. But great food. And service otherwise
Mark S
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.
Mike Galloway
so so good.we had a fantastic dinner. our waitress was great and food was hot
Nathaniel Galloway
My wife had her baby shower here. We had a private room upstairs, and it was a great time. Bartenders and other staff were fantastic and food was good.
Chris Cook
This was our first visit. Very impresses. Excellent menu selection. Prices weren't too bad. Had Chicken Limone, Chicken Marsala and Gorgonzola crusted beef medallions. Also tried their lobster bisque, calamari and shrimp with eggplant. All were scrumptious.
Atmosphere is typical of a mall restaurant. Staff were friendly and attentive.
Will definitely go back.
Steven Schaeber
Excellent family style upscale dining, in a beautiful restaurant with good service. We had calamari, baked ziti, bread and butter, drinks, salad, salmon, steak and sides. Fast delivery of food and lots of room for our big group of 50. Location is a bit tricky to find if it's your first visit, but once you find it you'll like walking around the large outdoor mall area with many other bars and restaurants. They also have take out containers if you want to save your leftovers and bring them back home. There's also a few balconies with nice overlook of the outside area. Lots of palm trees in the patios. Thanks!
Sylvia Wulf
Good food, reasonable prices and very pleasant staff. Everyone in my party enjoyed their early dinner. The one star off might seem unfair, but it's because of the limited options for someone with a dairy allergy. Happily the one item was quite good, if a bit bland.
J Batista
The server could have been a bit more attentive but food was delicious!! Definitely recommend the shrimp and lobster pasta. I love that the lobster was in bigger chunks and not in a shredded or grated consistency. We also loved the spinach dip! It was served with larger pieces of chips (as seen in the picture) which was different but nice. The sangria was also delicious. I’d definitely go back
Mariana Jimenez
Everything was delicious! Our brio pasta was delightful and the salmón was great, Our server was Maria she did amazing! So sweet and kind and helped us with the menu! Best service we’ve had in a long time, thank you so much Maria!
Natalia Londono
Networking at Brio Italian Grill always have been a great experience, great service and food is very good, located in a warm area where you can walk, eat or just hang out with friends.
Kim Granata-Clark
The lobster bisque soup is delicious. The sausage and pepperoni flatbread with ricotta cheese looks like a pizza versus a rectangular pizza. Delicious. My uncle and husband ordered the salmon salad and salmon with pasta and they were both cooked well. The waitress was prompt and checked in with us to see if we needed anything.
Chef Ahmad
Definitely 5 stars. Food is always amazing. My wife and I shared 3 pasta dishes and all were great. I recommend the pasta a la vodka. We customized all 3 because my wife is vegetarian and everything came out perfect. We also loved the cappuccino and lemon ricotta cheesecake for dessert. Daniel was our waiter... he was very familiar with the menu and was overall wonderful!
N L
Very nice ambiance, and the flatbreads were light and crisp.. very tasty!
Robert Markovetz
Fantastic second wedding anniversary dinner. I had the delicious and cheesy lasagne and my wife had the pasta brio. I had the ensalada, which was mixed greens with a creamy parmesan sauce. My wife had the chicken soup. Both tasted very good. The ambience was delightful. We had the berries with grand marnier and amaretto for dessert. The bread basket was a great starter. The portion sizes are huge. We had Arnold Palmers to drink. The restaurant features coke products and has a lounge area. The upstairs has banquet rooms. The whole restaurant is handicap accessible. The banquet rooms are spacious and have great decor. In fact, my wife and I got married in one two years ago and the service was very good so we come back every year. Truly a great dining experience. My wife and I come back every year for our wedding anniversary. This year we had another fantastic meal for our fifth wedding anniversary. The food and service was excellent. Very delicious and large portions.
Vicky Aparicio
Went last week for lunch with family and it was amazing! Our server was Maria she was fantasticccc!!! she really helped us out with everything, knew how to get everything we needed, food was the best too! We will be back, service 100 stars
Giacomo Valducci
It's a chain but the food is an honorable level. You can find it easily in almost every shopping center. Always a friendly service, a tasty flatbread and good salads. Some interesting wine in the list.
Gustavo Jimenez
Amazing experience even though I went there a little late the had no issue accommodating me and my girlfriend, the food was truly amazing, the carpaccio is a must! Thank you Nathan for an extraordinary customer service he was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great recommendations! I’ll be back!
Jennifer Bell
Used to work here about a decade ago. It's still as beautiful as it was before and the food continues to taste delicious. My favorite of all time, pasta a la vodka!
Joanie Petty
Staff was so happy and helpful. My pasta was ok. Not something I would want again. (Pasta Brio) Other members of my party loved it so maybe it was just my taste.
S Bennett
A couple months back we went to celebrate my son's 21st birthday they accommodated us very well for the 18 people we had. The service and food was amazing.
Nikki Flores
of course, being Christmas day, they were very busy, but waited 25 minutes for them to tell us they ran out of dessert. Food was good. chicken caprese was dry. then waited another 25 for the bill.
Frannie D.
Restaurant was recommended by a coworker. Beautiful place on the mall area in Tampa. We had a reservation for 15 and were seated right on time. The food was amazing. We had apps of calamari, carpaccio, pasta, and lamb lollipops. So good! Main courses were also delicious and enjoyed by all, from the braised beef, to chicken pasta, Penne alla vodka, Beef medallions, lasagna and lots of other dishes. Great wine selection and a popular boubon drink was a favorite of the guys. Lava cake and mascarpone cheesecake were delightful, but the bread pudding was a little too much chocolate, not really traditional. All in all we had a fabulous time!!

Really good food and great staff.
Sandy Robertson
Review is based on similar restaurants such as Magianno's. To start - our waiter Scott was very good; attentive and efficient for our Valentine's Day Eve! I was a bit surprised about how good the Brio Old Fashioned was to start off the evening - worth a try. I stayed with a house specialty Chicken Milanese with a bed of herb pasta. My rating is average - the pasta and
marinara were quite good but the chicken was not prepared to order and tasted a bit precooked. My spouse chose the lasagna which she enjoyed. She could not stop raving about the delicious warm sourdough bread. I tried the tiramisu dessert which was freshly thawed with some frozen edges still in place....not very good. Overall Brio's is stiil worth a try - the setting was very comfortable.
Shannon Basile
Meal was okay. I had grilled cheese, my bf had Crusted Chilean seabass. He enjoyed his fish. We also both enjoyed the spinach dip as an appetizer. I ordered a Malibu Baybreeze and the waiter asked if I wanted another, I said yes. I received a Seabreeze with grapefruit juice. 😑 I had my bf try it to ensure it wasn't just me. He agreed and mentioned to the waiter. The waiter argued with him and told him that is what's supposed to be in a Baybreeze. 😑 He checked with the bartender and came with the correct drink this time and apologized to me (not to my bf too). Then we were charged for all 3 drinks even though they'd mistakenly given me the wrong drink. We weren't happy but my bf didn't want to argue with the waiter again. Wasn't a very pleasant experience.
Sheila Myers Gropp
The eggplant app was to die for! My salmon was cooked perfectly.
Daniel Does It
Really nice atmosphere really great food The food is actually pretty damn good. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a new place to eat or if you really like Italian food this would definitely be the place for you. it's inside of the international Mall right next to cheesecake factory. The staff was okay. Our waiter could have been more timely with our refills and could have had a bit more personality. would definitely recommend for a friend or a family member to try out.
Rebecca Peterman
This was our first time eating at Brio Italian Grille. The food was amazing. Our server, Alex, did a fantastic job!

Great food and good service. The restaurant setting wad great for a nice quiet date. Booths and tables are big/roomy. The waitress first brought out a basket of bread with the drinks... bread wad so soft accompanied with a hard type of multi-grain peta bread. Chop salad with parmesan dressing was great. Pictures shown are chicken pesto flat bread, chicken marsala with golden mashed potatoes, veggies and a balsamic glazed salmon with asparagus. All food is prepared fresh and awesome! There is NO smoking in side or on the patio. Of course don't forget your 20% military discount on the food. Enjoy!
Michael Mullady
We went for the first time for Valentine's day and we were very satisfied!! I ordered the Chilean sea bass which was delicious. Our server was very friendly and we were seated promptly with the time of our reservation. We will be back!!
Beard Adventures (Beard Adventures)
Amazing food. One of the better Italian restaurants I've been to. The spinach artichoke sip is amazing too
Sara Sandow
Alexa went out of her way to steam my Baileys and coffee. 10 stars!!
Brigitte Ferdinandsen
I chose to introduce my dear friend for dinner. We received wonderful service and found our meal to be quite delicious. The staff was extremely attentive and didn’t rush us out, even though we were the last to leave. I will return.

We enjoy coming to International Plaza's Bay Street to eat. This time we chose Brio on Saturday July 14, 2018- around 830 PM.
When entering the restaurant, the interior was frigid cold. (I am originally from up north, so that's saying something) The hostess stand girl was very friendly and we asked to be seated outdoors in a quiet seating area. There were seats immediately available.
Some tables have candles, so I asked for one to be placed on our table as this was date night with the wife. It never came though. The underneath of the table was not swept, and there was food from previous patrons and crayons underneath it. Otherwise the restaurant was clean and tidy.
The waitress was nice and super friendly and very prompt/attentive. The bread and crackers came out without butter, so we had to ask for it The butter was a slice of real butter when it did come out.
We are not fish eaters so we wanted something like Chicken parmigiana, which is more our speed when we eat Italian. For this, order the Chicken Milanese. It is basically chicken parm, except the sauce is underneath and not on top. It was very good. We also ordered salads and you can have them tailored ( like no tomatoes or onions, etc)
For doggie bags, they took our plates to the back to put our food in to go containers. I am not usually very comfortable with my food leaving my sight as I do not know if I am getting my food back or if the utensils they use are clean/unused, etc. I would prefer they do this at my table in front of me.
We enjoyed our visit to Brio. It was our first time here and were glad we came.
Brigitte Lee
Absolutely amazing! This was my first time here. We came for a baby shower which was hosted in their upstairs banquet room. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had the Pasta Alla Vodka, Wedge and Cobb salad, kids pepperoni pizza, Chicken Limone, and Grilled Salmon Fresca. For sides we had the Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes and the Tuscan Roasted Veggies. Then for dessert we had the Creme Brûlée. All the food was extremely delicious. The salmon was so full of flavor and melted in your mouth. The mashed potatoes were so creamy and flavorful. And omg don't get me started on the creme brûlée!!! Absolutely amazing. I believe this was the BEST creme brûlée I've ever had. Definitely a must to splurge on dessert. The kids pizza was surprisingly delicious and didn't remind me of a kids entree. It was big and tasty. Thank you for an amazing lunch, Brio. You definitely have great food.
I'll definitely be coming back to this place with my family. Definitely recommend!!
Mark Kellman
I'm going to fast forward this review. Must tries are the Carpaccio and the Shrimp and Egg Plant. I'm in NO way a fan of egg plant, but the chef makes it flavorful and textured Awesome service that won't be beaten anywhere. Drinks are tasty and strong! Laid back crowd compared to other Happy Hour places, but it's busy because it's that good. The decor is not as impressive as other venues, but what BRIO lacks in decoration is made up in principle of what makes a great restaurant. Highly recommend as a more casual atmosphere with AWESOME food and drinks at shocking prices. Say hi to Kimberly who manages this gastro delight.
Vivian H
Love coming here for happy hour at the bar. The appetizers are delicious, the drinks are great. I personally prefer going with a friend to have a tapas-style meal. Also great for a nice, sit-down dinner, or course, but I prefer the former. Will always be a fan of the carpaccio (and I'm so sad they took it off of the happy hour menu). The lobster bisque is also a favorite - they def top off the soup with a generous portion of lobster meat. Tried the calamari and a pesto flatbread, and was not disappointed.
The service was good (not great) last time I was there, but I still plan on going back since in the past it's been on point.
Luz Rodriguez
Absolutely amazing. I came to Brio Tuscan Grille for Mothers Day with my family and we had an amazing time. The food was absolutely delicious. There was just empty plates and big smiles. Nothing that touched the table was bad. Food was great and the staff was just as amazing. Will definitely come back.
Andrew Meadows
First time at Brio and Faye was an awesome server! Excellent suggestions, with a through understanding of the menu. She was at our table within a minute of sitting down with waters and warm welcomes! We will definitely be returning and asking if she is available! Great experience with excellent service. Food is incredible too!
Lorenna Rottemberg
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.
Jenni G.
Nice and clean establishment. The staff were friendly and personable, which is always a plus. They were very accommodating.
All of the food was impeccable. This place is now in my top 5!
My drink was perfectly made (I had an old fashion), and my food was perfectly seasoned and cooked!
If you like Lamb chops, you have to try theirs. It comes with some small portion of spinach. You guys, I don't know what they seasoned that spinach with, but I can go back just to eat a bowl of it by itself!!! The calamari and my entree, the grilled salmon fresca, my friends entree, the lobster and shrimp fettuccine, were all VERY flavorful and filling!!!!
And let me tell yall about that damn caramel mascarpone Cheesecake!!!!! We had already decided if we didn't like it, we were heading to the cheesecake factory to get a slice. They shut us all the way up... what the heck is a cheesecake factory lol? That was the best freaking cheesecake ever! It wasn't thick and heavy feeling, and the flavor was unexplainable. After writing this review, I think I'm going back this weekend!!
This place is a must go!
BRAVO BRIO 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Jim Hamilton
Very nice restaurant. We had a party of 10. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Service was excellent.
Luis Cruz
Great place to take the family out, excellent customer service great atmosphere delicious food 😋
Patrick Salazar
Try the Gorgonzola-crusted beef medallions. First class service and no wait on a Friday night. Would absolutely visit again.
Brooke Gearhart
The food is very good and the restaurant has excellent ambiance for both a casual and professional setting. There is a super cute outdoor seating area which abuts the international mall’s outdoor entrance/walkway. Really nice to sit out there in the evenings. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and everything I have had from the menu was excellent. The bruschetta and lamb are particularly good.
Mark Lewis
This is a secret place in Tampa. I've never had a problem getting in. Food Is high quality, reasonable wine list. Service was quite good and there is a lot of space.
Jerry Masiello
The restaurant was spotless the service was wonderful. The pasta was wonderful with vodka sauce. The spicy shrimp with eggplant was nice. The mahi fish was wild court with crab salad on top potatoes and vegetables.
Gloria Mancilla (Mechudita)
Wonderful place to enjoy with family and friends. The food is great, and the service is remarkable.
Michael Williams
Fantastic lunch options and that bread is killer.
If you're looking for a quick lunch, Brio can get you in and out fast. This is perfect for people who are in this area on their lunch hour. You would think that all the restaurants in this area would be known for that, but surprisingly that isn't the case.
It was one of the few nice days in Tampa so we decided to sit outside. They have nice outside covered seating.
The highlight of the whole meal was the bread basket they bring to the table. I know, that was really the highlight? Yes! There is bread that seems more like a cracker that has a bit of a cheesy taste that is absolutely delicious. I had to ask them to bring more of that specific bread!
I went with the soup and salad lunch combo. I got the white bean soup and Caesar salad. When the server explained the white bean soup he didn't say anything about meat in it. Just a heads up because white bean soup, to me, sounded vegetarian, so I was surprised when it wasn't. It was really good, but if I had known it had meat I probably would have gone with something else. The Caesar salad was also very good.
Overall I think this is a great lunch spot and they have a ton of good lunch menu options.
Le Lo
They get a 5 start just because of the amazing customer service I received from the moment I walked in. Kirk was continuously attentive and addressed my concerns in the utmost professional manner. Michelle was also very professional and sweet. Thank you both for a very pleasant experience. I will definitely return.
Omar Resto
Great food and great service from Brio. Food was fresh and hot. We had the lasagna and the carbonara pasta. Great decor and cozy atmosphere.
Maria Rodriguez
Excellent food and service. A little pricey but worth every cent. Look forward to going again. Would love to see more vegetarian options
Diane Kaufman
Delicious meal with calamari and lasagna and ended with tiramisu. The lasagna was so good it was almost gone before I took the picture. Oops!
Reece A.
The pasta alla vodka is amazing!!!! Everything about it was delicious, I was a little worried at first when the waitress said there's no meat in it, but I still ordered it and I am not disappointed! The only disappoint to my party was the hard table bread, but the pita was delicious also. Another recommendation is the crab cake! That is my first ever having crab cake that is more crab versus breading! I had to order one for home, that's how amazing it was. The service was impeccable, everyone was nice and friend and quick. Already planning date night with my boyfriend to go there next!!!
Michael Sheynin
Food was excellent! My wife and I had Italian wedding soup, carpacciio and lamb chops appetizer. Top notch! I am pretty particular about my martinis and the barman, Eric, made absolutely fabulous gin martini, one of the best I have ever had. My daughter had salmon salad and it was terrific. Highly recommended.
Lynne Bernat
The olive appetizer was so tasty! Every bite of every food was excellent! Service was very professional and attentive, but not intrusive. I love this restaurant and this location!
Mike Price
My wife said the Fettuccine was so good. What a top notch quality place. Everyone loved the food. Can’t wait to go back again.
Ashley Taylor
Food was amazing! Visiting from Jacksonville where our Brio closed. We were very excited for the carpaccio and they delivered past expectation!
Chuck Bamford
Brio is a consistent place of comfort food, nice atmosphere and a nice availability of decent wines. Service was good on a Friday night.
MARYANNE JIMENO
We had the best service today from María, I mean the best we’ve had anywhere in a long time, thank you so much for making our experience amazing! Love this place more and the food was delicious!!!
Aaron D. Horcha
Alexia deserves a raise! She is amazing, fun and entertaining.......perfect service. Fantastic food. The eggplant shrimp yum!
Athena Vero
Enjoyed the pasta Brio and chocolate torte. Our server Sarah did an incredible job, truly went above and beyond:)
Linda Cox
Alexa is a wonderful server!
Definitely deserves a raise !
Treat yourself to the best dining experience!
Bone Tactical
The hostess didn’t know they had veal, then she was offended when I told her what veal was, but the veal was still good... it’s hard to find intelligent young people who are willing to work these days in America but I don’t appreciate the wait staff giving me a guilt trip about my meal. The rest of the service and food was exquisite. Prices are high and atmosphere is average. Location is not ideal unless you like malls.
K T
I visited this restaurant couple times, usually the food is good. Like the happy hours from 4-6pm on Wednesday, I do like the moscato wine that they carry.
Joshua Miller
Awesome food and excellent service and atmosphere. Alex was a great waiter. I will def be back
Mizz Wright
Food was great and Winter was the best. She made sure our evening was perfect.
kemia Howard
This restaurant is so amazing 😍 I loved everything Abt this place food was off the chain will be bk for sure. …
Mansi Dutta
Great food; good ambience; very good service; loved everything about the place
Chaptal Celerin
I went there for my Birthday on Easter Sunday. It was a totally Awesome and Amazing experience. The Atmosphere was breathtaking. The food was super delicious. The waiters and every other employee was courteous, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place. I'm looking forward to going back soon.
M M
Brio was good. We enjoyed an appetizer bruschetta sampler and an artichoke dip and both were great. The artichoke dip came with some large crispy chips which were unique in a good way. We had a few extra which accompanied our main meal of two Steak Gorgonzola Salads. The Steak Gorgonzola Salad is my go-to every time. It is absolutely fabulous in every way. Crunchy chopped veggies with a tender steak and real blue cheese - chunky, stinky, blue and delicious! They were understaffed and so the service was a little bit haphazard, but they as best they could with the crowd at hand. I will return and would recommend. Sign up for the e-club for consistent and good discounts and coupons.

Always love eating here. The far side of the food area at IPlaza. Excellent options for Italian, quick polite service.

First time here, after arriving with a party of 5 without a reservation we were still quickly seated. The french toast Sunday special was so good I don't know if I'm going to be able to eat the rest of the week... special thanks to the serving hostess Alexa for this suggestion; the quality of her service was everything you could ask for. As well as the rest of the staff (apologies for not catching your names) who helped us enjoy such a flawless, fine dining for my brother's birthday. Definitely looking forward to going back!

I would give it an extra star if I could.
My wife and I stopped in and were surprised from the first moment.
Very friendly service.
Great tasting food in excellent quality.
..and their bread, delicious!
We'll be back. Thank you
Jorge Andrade
Food was good overall,my chicken was just a bit dry but I would still give this place 5 stars because service was very good even though they was very busy

Brio used to be my wife's favorite restaurant, so much that we have bought a few hundreds dollars of gift cards for a couple of years but not last year. It feels like they have cut corners on their recipe specifically, the mushroom ravioli. Last visit Friday, I had the fried calamari for dinner which was very good but the chopped salad was pitiful. It lacked flavor and they were stingy with the feta cheese and other goodies. I ate a couple of bites and took it home. I will eat it when I get really hungry. Restaurants should know if you can't put out a decent meal because of the price point raise the price.Tasteless food is never worth the money.
I always tip at least 20% of the bill. It is a shame that a better, harder working server makes less because of the menu prices.
Steve Chappell
First time in Tampa, and first dinner. A nice restaurant with very helpful staff, lovely food and enjoyable local craft beer. Not a bad start.
Alejandro Roque
Honestly best food ever I rarely write reviews but this place deserves it 10/10
Naomi
Absolutely LOVE it! This is like my 7th time here. I never cared for the other locations but this one is soo good. I had the lamb chops and the shrimp/zucchini. The manager Frank was great, our bartender Jacob was awesome and the host Jason was amazing. Thank y’all!!!
Vicky Horvath
Oh so delicious! Great Staff & food is so good too!
Nathan Kona
Outstanding. Everything was just as perfect as three years ago. Beef Carpaccio stole the show. The shrimp eggplant with black pepper creme was excellent. Thanks to our server Bo for making it an awesome afternoon.

I had the best experience at this restaurant. The food was fantastic, fresh and hot. The chef Steve was also very nice when we needed anything extra. I would recommend this place to all my family and friends. We will be back!

Best happy hour around! $5 cocktails, appetizers, and wines from 3pm-7pm

I enjoy Brio during happy hour while seated at the bar or bar area. Their high top tables along the Cafe sidewalk in the bar are always my first choice. When the weather tolerable the clear vinyl wind/rain panels are opened up for a nice breeze and view of all the shoppers strolling Baywalk. Their happy hour foods (at the bar area near the Cafe windows) are delicious and wonderful to share. We always end up ordering several HH appetizers and HH drinks.
Andrew Kalel
My review is more for the wait staff, then even the great food. 11 out of 10 stars to TJ! Great food too, steak salad excellent
Jessica Manchester
Excellent food and service. Love their lasagna!
Mallory Rockhill
First time in town. We stopped by, and the experience was amazing. We were greeted wonderfully by the host. First of all, that bread was sooooo good. Decided to get a speciality cocktail, the Strawberry Basil one. Very yummy! Also got the Brio Pasta! Again, nothing but great things to say. Our server Carlos & the manager Patrick were very friendly. Wonderful customer service! We will be back.
Melissa Herrington
Went to Brio for a birthday dinner there were about 12 of us. We had a reservation for 5:30. We arrived at 5:25 and were not seated until just after 6pm. The hostess said it would be just a few minutes when we got there at 5:25. It wasn't until we asked again 15 minutes later on the status of our table that we could actually see them putting the tables together for us. They weren't even busy so I am not accepting that as an excuse. I completely understand if we walked in and asked for a table for 12, but what is the point of making a reservation if you have to wait almost 1/2 hour to be seated at your table? I understand the service industry is short staffed right now- however the hostess could have communicated that to us instead of simply leaving us to the side wondering what is happening.
NOW on to the food! It was delicious. I don't go here often but when I do the food is always amazing. I had the lobster bisque and the grilled steak salad. Others at my table had different pastas, chicken and pizza. Our server was great also and very attentive for the size party we had and he was on his own.
Shabira Ramji
Beautiful ambiance
Super food
Friendly staff
Welcoming and took care of us.
Highly recommend this restaurant if you love Italian cuisine.
Vanessa Henry
We had Shrimp and Eggplant that was absolutely delicious as a starter. The Grilled Salmon with Pasta was my main dish. This was perfect for me since I don't eat many creamy dishes. Definitely 5 star meal.
Alicia Ellison
We just had our first experience at Brio and we enjoyed it. Eric was our server and he was quick, friendly, and efficient. We will definitely be back :-)
Randi W.
Food was delicious! Felt especially welcome because of server Melissa! She handled my order professionally and never left me waiting for anything. She's amazing, and the reason I'll definitely be coming back for more!
Leighanne E
Thank you to the Server John and the woman manager on duty for making our experience here enjoyable last night. In spite of two small dogs that barked alot during our dining experience, the staff accommodated us to another spot. Drinks were great and the meal was amazing
Kevin Mujica
The place was great, Patrick the General Manager talked to us and asked How everything we ate was. As well our server Macy took incredible care of us and made sure we were happy the whole time, she truly is an incredible person and we are happy to return back at anytime!!!
Christine Louissaint
This place is awesome my server carlos was amazing he made my special night even better the food was awesome as well well worth your money!!!
Jessica
Really like their pasta!! And they have good service.
Sira Rivera
Ate dinner today with my mother and had great experience at Brio Italian Grille. Food was great and delicious but what made it better was the help of the server assistant name Jimmy Acevedo. He went above and beyond with great customer service and very pleasant and helpful through out our dinner. He is a great example of hospitality.
Amany Barakat
Alexa was just fabulous, amazing service and very pleasant 5 star all the way😊 definitely deserve a raise
Meena-Samuel Girgis
The food here is phenomenal. From the main courses to the appetizers. Portions were gratuitous and high quality. Brian, our waiter, went above and beyond as well. We were a big party and he frequented our table even as the rush started. You can also tell he knows every dish. He made numerous suggestions that we all followed and everybody left happy. Taste buds and all. Great place to go. Price is medium range to high, but reasonable for what you're getting. Ambiance is great too. Thanks to the cooks and our excellent waiter, Brian. Truly appreciate the passion towards your work.
Cheers!

Was there last night had a great dinner was delicious great hospitality and great prices
Neyomi Duncan
Place was nice. Food was okay, not very hot when served but enough I suppose. 1st time going there as it was for a celebration however the waiter made it not the best. Seemed to be very overwhelmed and not liking to admit to mistakes that was made...not somewhere I plan to go again as it was a long drive to begin with.
John Campanale
Drinks were good. Appetizer was good. The chicken Marsala came out In a beef stew sauce. Far cry from the wine sauce I was expecting. And there was one mushroom in the Marsala sauce. The potatoes tasted like instant potatoes.
Leila B
The food was as good as usual although the service could have been better. While we were talking with the host about our table another gentleman rudely interrupted to discuss some large table that was to be seated later in the evening and then left us standing there. We waited for 10 minutes, watched the rude gentleman seat 2 others tables until we pulled him aside and asked what happened to our table. He apologized and seated us. Waitress forgot our beverages and brought crackers when we asked for bread. She also brought the check before we had finished eating. Apart from the service blunders, the Beef Carpaccio was delicious as always, the Wente Chardonnay was delightful and the flatbread was tasty and perfectly prepared.
Art Stadlin
Busy restaurant at the
mall. Waitperson advised against the Lobster bisque soup. Spaghetti served without a spoon. Food was tasty, but small portions. Overall it's okay.
josh purdin
First time there. Service was great but man was some of the food bad. Pastas were great but portions were minimal. Chicken tenders for my daughter were just super salty breading not a hint of chicken. Lamb chops were so small and "crusting" was a little slice of melted cheese on the top of the lamb and was not good. Lobster bisque was good but no lobster. Bruhscetta sampler was pretty good though. Server was super attentive and accommodating but he seemed to only hear me and not my wife and daughters.... they might have been a bit quiet but it made me question.
Jennifer Perez
I never write reviews, and I must say I absolutely adore the food from Brio, particularly the Pasta Alla Vodka. But my last experience with the restaurant has been unpleasant. I placed an online order for pickup 3 and a half weeks ago. I ordered the Saturday deal for the Pasta Allá Vodka for my family. I purchased the one for $60 that supposedly served 4-5 people as the site said, as well as the calamari appetizer and a lasagna. I was so shocked when I opened the tray with the pasta allá vodka and am not exaggerating when I say that it served maybe 2 people, my family of 4 had to serve ourselves about 3 or 4 tortellini each! The amount in the tray didn't even cover the full bottom of the tray. We were way better off buying 2 full dishes for $19 a piece, as this was not a deal, but a total rip off. The calamari was also a much, much smaller portion than we've had in the restaurant, and we paid full price for this (no special deal on this appetizer). So it should have been the same portion as served in the restaurant. I called that night and an assistant manager told me a manager would get back to me the following Monday, but never did. She also said that this deal isn’t supposed to be full, large servings like in the physical restaurant and was basically trying to brush off my concern. But then if you advertise that it serves 4-5 people, that's a lie and completely false advertising, and you shouldn't sell it for 60 dollars! But no one ever got back to me, which does not display very good customer service. I've attempted to reach out by phone and email 4 or 5 times now with no success. I understand that perhaps the restaurant is short staffed and experiencing food supply shortages (not sure), but I don’t think that is a reason to false advertise a deal and rip off customers with really high prices and very small portions. And that is certainly not a reason to not reply to a customer for weeks on end. My family and I adore Brio but we were so bummed out that we had to basically scrap for food, and that’s no fun when you’re starving. If this is how they handle online order food portions, they shouldn’t be doing online orders at all. This makes me not really want to order or eat here again.
EDIT: Changed my review from 2 to 4 stars. After posting this, a manager finally called me and asked me to explain the situation and offered me a gift card. He understood me and agreed that I had been underserved. I received the gift card 4 days later in the mail. Thank you so much to that manager for his help!
Analyn Escobar
We had wonderful anniversary dinner party at Brio. Beautiful restaurant and wonderful staffs. I highly recommend Brio.
Sira Schroff
Good as usual but the Lobster Bisque used to have chunks of lobster…. Not anymore….
Desiree Tamara
Dinner. (International Plaza). Food overly salty. Spinach was sent back & they made a fresh batch just for me.
My experience was unlike most of the reviews I've read.
Staff very attentive & professional. Other than the saltiness, food tastes very good, hot and prepared as requested.
Prices are a lil high but, it's my opinion that when going out to dinner, it's more about the experience & environment. That being the case, 5 Stars!
Denise S
5 star lobster bisque. *** Update 9/12. Loud, obnoxious chef? with Cuban accent barking orders at the cooks but not actually cooking. It was exceptionally distracting and off-putting. Couldn't talk to my family because everything was consumed by his presence in the restaurant. Also the cheese "crusted" beef medallions are no longer crusted. It's more like topped with cheese. Quality is decreasing.
Tavier Wright
Nice staff. Good food. Location was a challenge yo find though.
Lilliam Cantillo Ground maintenance
For the prices, can be better definitely!
U can eat same on carrabbas or better!
Aiman أيمن
A very nice place to dine in. The food is very delicious and the service is very good. The atmosphere is nice and cozy.
Bret Bohlman
Always enjoy Brio. If you are familiar with Bravo Italian restaurant, you will love Brio. Same ownership. Solid from aps to dessert.
Nina Estep
Food was excellent, lots if food for your money. Customer service was awesome.
Annalise Cruz
Had a delicious lunch ( Gorgonzola Lamb Chops) Bartender Emily is super nice.
The staff has a great atmosphere going
Carolina Ross
Food - margherita flatbread top notch! Stopped for a quick bite at the bar. Carlos was awesome, Great staff Definitely coming back!

Meat is a bit pricy
Wish tip was already included in pricing
Ivette Jorge
Macy is one of the sweetest servers ever, she was checking up on us constantly, making sure that everything was perfect, the chicken Milanese is definitely a go too plate, it’s very filling, as well as the truffle garlic toast with ricotta. The management is splendid, I love the area!!!
Tim Sellman
This is a great Brio location. Service was spot on and there was no wait on a Friday evening. They have great real Italian inspired dishes. Also the Marscapone Cheesecake was awesome.
E. Richardson
Here in Tampa on business, wanted Italian so we ate here for dinner. Great customer service and great food! I had the spinach and artichoke dip, a Ceasar salad, and mushroom ravioli with chicken. It was delicious!
Dawn 7
The wait staff took awhile to get our table ready, but after that all went well and we had a great time.
elise nicole
I didn't think the food was that tasty. The atmosphere was nice, though!
STEPHEN
Service extremely slow. Sat down. At 830pm, served at 1015pm. If you dont have enough staff, then you shouldn't be sitting parties down. I notice lot of tampa restaurants been like this, if your short staffed, don't sit people down. Tell us your are full, I rather hear that than sit for 2 hours waiting for food. Ridiculous. Food was good at least, reason for 3 stars. Small portions though for price.
Doctor J
Service was amazing from the host to the server to the chefs. Food came out quickly and was impeccable and delicious. Our server Daniel made some great suggestions that we absolutely loved and was very attentive. This was my first time going. It was my birthday. I will definitely be back!
Keron Billinger
Food and service was a 10/10! Even with a crowded restaurant, I received my food in a timely manner, everything was hot, and my "complicated order" was right on the money!!! ❗❗❗ will definitely be coming back!!! Patrick and Carlos were great to talk to also!

Good Food, Excellent Friendly Service, Nice Location at International Mall
Alicia S.
We were greeted with amazing customer service from the host Andrew (not 100% on the name but he has a Michael Kors mask). He was very helpful and accommodating to my friend and I. One of the best welcoming experiences I’ve had an establishment. However, our server was extremely slow and forgot about us. Our server was gone so long that when he finally came to the table our food had came.
The food was exceptional though. We had the shrimp and eggplant which was amazing. I also had a peach Bellini which had real peach chunks 😍. Also, ask for the olive oil tray with the bread you won’t regret it.
The manager Nick was really nice and accommodating though.
Thank you for a great experience overall.
Ruchika shirole
Nice ambience and the food is good ..but the service is very bad coz it was really late n we were about to leave the place when they took around 30 mins to get us the lemonade...its good if u have good free time to spend sitting in restaurant waiting for food
Lily B.
I’m so sad I didn’t remember the name of the server we had today but she was great! We went in around 3 pm today. It was our first time trying this place. The customer service here is absolutely amazing! My boyfriend got the Mezza Chicken Milanese which was fantastic. I ordered the Lobster Ravioli which I wasn’t a big fan of and they were super apologetic about it! It’s very rare for us to eat at a place where the employees seem to genuinely care about the guests. They were very accommodating and we will definitely be back.
Humphrey
Went for a family dinner. Everything was fresh and delicious. The tomato bisque was great. The flat bread pizza was good. Beef Medallions were excellent as was the chicken milanese and filet. Ambiance was nice, we went early so it was crowded. Much quieter than other places at International Plaza, it's nice to have a conversation without shouting. We'll definitely go back.
brooke Embach
The entire experience from start to finish was enjoyable. Hunter was very kind, although he had other tables to tend to, he stopped by to make sure we have everything we need, he gave us great recommendations.
An awesome place for a quick bite or a big gathering.
David gautreaux
The food was great only things they need to work on is the desert menu. Their dessert menu is limited. Drinks were tasty appetizers were wonderful service break
Douglas S
Staff was friendly, service was prompt and food was fine but nothing stellar.
Nicholas Colvin
Really good food & wonderful service. Will be returning
Miguel Noy
The food was alright and it was a nice environment, but the thing that saved this restaurant was the waitress. She was very nice and caring. She refilled our drinks regularly and checked up on us even if we were a big group.
F Lerner
Emily at the bar is the best! Food and service are always great.
Josephine Schaaf
Wonderful place to start lunch and shopping.
Anna Rees
Finally we went after more than a year to Brio as that was one of
my favorites in Tampa to go to as it has a nice atmosphere and good food which was good yesterday. It seemed that they may have been understaffed a bit as our waiter Emily had disappeared for quite a while when we wanted to order a glass of wine with our meal. However, she was extremely helpful with the selection of the wine, friendly and professional and did a good job!
I think it would be time for Brio to address some remodeling of the restaurant as it starts to look a bit old, especially the sinks in the bathrooms are in need of some
detailed and thorough cleaning and so are some spots in the restaurant as well.
Other than that we enjoyed our lunch but I would be more excited to come back if I knew there were some updating.
Thomas Green
We haven’t been to Brio in some time and went back today and we’re so glad we did. The food and service was excellent! The carpaccio is delicious and I really enjoyed the beef medallions. Big thanks to Bethany for getting the food for the kids out super quick!! We’ll definitely be back!
John Collette
A typical shortage of staff like everywhere else in America. Was seated promptly by the hostess, but never approached by anyone else, simply left the restaurant. Beautiful place with a great reputation, just a sad situation.
Louise Cote
Met some friends for lunch. Menu is as expected for northern italian and they do it right. Our table of 12 had a couple of minor issues with substitutions that were not done as requested but when noted to the server were corrected immediately. Definitely recommended. Service was a bit slow but post pandemic it's tough getting staff in lots of places. Expect a little wait but it is worth the time.. I will return here.
Julian Waits II
Ordered a bunch of food for a night in at the hotel, due to Hurricane Ian, and they served us well!
Kristy Kairos
Food was amazing. Sat outside to look at the views of the inside mall.
Mary Shogreen
I was there with family celebrating a niece's graduation from high school. The service and the food were excellent! I would gladly recommend this restaurant.
Rena Snow
Place is beautiful clean and warm. The decor reminds me of Italy and the open kitchen makes me feel safe. The drinks were tasty. The fried calamari was a waist of money but the lamb chops were stupendous. My friends enjoyed their meal as well and the desserts were wonderful. Chef came by to be praised by us and it was nice to see him smile. Love the place love the food love the chef!
LC CV
Not the first Brio we've been to, but definitely the tastiest.
soundenvelope
For being a chain restaurant, Brio is surprisingly good! The marinara sauce is considerably better than competitors in flavor and acidic levels. Service was on point.👍 …
Thomas Bonan
This is a restaurant I know I can count on. I’ve done several dinners here of varying sizes, and the food and service has been phenomenal each time. Thomas was our server the last two visits, and I will definitely request him specifically for our next happy hour event. I highly recommend the beef carpaccio and martinis to start.
Restaurant did and great job with sanitation, masks, and social distancing too. They even had a hand sanitizer bottle at each table last time we went!
L A F Berry
I loved the salmon. They had a great set-up for a group event. There server's were very kice and attentive.
Stacey Whitt
We had a celebration of life for a dear friend, and it was a great experience. Everyone was so attentive and the food was awesome. It was a great way to remember someone so special to many. Thank you Brio.
A. Fedrick (MsSimplyAngelic)
Had the pleasure of having John as my sever! He was amazing! My girls and I enjoyed him! Will definitely be back to see John!!! Oh yeah, the food was great!
Tiffany Pross
So yummy! I've been here plenty of times and they never fail to amaze me. Between customer service and the food. Absolutely amazing. Valeria, Tyler and Alex are always wonderful help ❣️
Patrice Young
Awesome food and service, comfortable atmosphere and decent price.
Peg Lovell
Please realize this is during a pandemic. No utensils on table. No offer of appetizer. No offer of salad with meal. No offer of wine. No offer of desserts. My dinner was delicious on its own would have been much better with bread and wine.
danny lydon
I came here with my friends as a date night and we had a great time ! I had the lasagna and she had the lamb chops . If you haven’t been here you need to come and enjoy an great time
Lara Murot
My husband and I had our wedding dinner at Brio Italian Grille at Tampa International mall, and it was the best decision we could of made. They made the whole process super easy, and they were very professional. The food was amazing, all of the guests were impressed. A huge thanks to Kristian Pineiro for helping us plan everything and making our night special.
Also, thanks to the two amazing waitresses that worked during our event (sorry I did not get their names), they were super helpful and attentive, and made it all smooth. 10/10 recommend Brio Grille, I look forward to coming back. THANK YOU!
Dana Randall Books
The restaurant was really busy so there was a bit of a wait but we were still seated quicker than expected. Once we were seated, the service was great! Our server was fantastic, attentive and fast. The food was good also.
Acct 4 Dedo
We had two different dishes both were excellent. Our server/ bartender was very attentive. Great dining experience.
Evan Madow
Had a private party here. (40 pp) The food was excellent and the service outstanding.
Breanne Sanders
Brio is my favorite lunch spot, not only for the food but the outstanding service. Ask for Emily! She is as personable as she is professional. I absolutely love her!
Matthew Maresca
The food, the ambience and the overall experience was lovely. They sat us right away, our table was further away from other guests so we felt like we had more privacy. The food came out quickly and the drinks were superb. Appetizers and 2 lunch courses later and we still had leftover to take home. Will return again soon!
Ko Fi
Wonderful food and service! I personally had the Pasta Alla Vodka, with a fresh cream sauce that still held enough weight to pair well with their crisp bread. Cannot recommend the Spinach & Artichoke Dip enough! Delicious parmesan flatbread served with a rich dip. Again, fantastic service! Lovely experience.
Vee Pat
The perfect place for happy hour at reasonable prices. $5 house wine and flat bread at $6
Great people watching. Emily was great. Very attentive
Jose Medina
Some of the tastiest food you’ll have around. The Ziti was amazing! Great flavors and the right amount of sauce (not dry). Will definitely be eating there again.
John Blind
Very good restaurant with a romantic atmosphere. Great place for a date night.
Heather Richardson
This was quite a treat! The ambiance, service and food was amazing! We had the calamari and the spicy shrimp & eggplant appetizers delicious! Several of us had the salmon fresca so good, a must try for seafood lovers like us. Medley of flavors with the most perfect balance.
Sherry Davidson
Great atmosphere and food. Service was awesome. One of my favorite places to eat. Love their chopped salad and use to love the grilled pork chops but don't see them on the menu anymore.
Courtney Bunch
The lobster and shrimp past was so yummy!
Erykah D.
The food was delicious! The service was excellent! However, it was so incredibly loud in there our small party of 3 had to shout at each other to be heard.
Sarah Baghdad
We were at Brio last night for a friends get together. Had a wonderful time. Dinner was delicious.
Server was great, as well the management team.
We will definitely go back
Miguel Rodriguez
The menu has changed and some of the beat dishes they had are not on the menu so that was a big disappointment but still a good place way too bright inside tho.
Travis Doyle
Hosted an event there last night , and the staff was all great. They were very welcoming , and prompt with everything they were doing. The food, and drinks were awesome!
Jerry Cisar
We went here to celebrate my son's birthday. It was his choice and he had his heart set on the particular pasta with the vodka sauce. They're out of it. Overall the food was fine, nothing spectacular. The service was slow to say the least, enter our overall experience was less than satisfying.
Jonohn Collins
I love the environment. It was so laid back and comfortable while you relax and eat good Italian food. Manning was the best waiter I had in a long time!
Jamie Shannon
We just had Brio for the first time yesterday and fell in love with the food, so much we are having it again tonight!!! Everything was absolutely amazing! I even called to ask for ex dressing and Patrick in togo’s said he would throw an ex in for me. Y’all totally rock! Thank you so much for your awesome service we really appreciate all of you!!
Debbie Slater
Wow! This is literally the best restaurant we've gone to!!
Quick review:
Clean family friendly! A lot of places that are "family friendly" seem to have sticky tables, floors, somewhat dirty cups and staff that hate their job.... This restaurant was VERY CLEAN EVERYWHERE, VERY kind staff, and had the atmosphere of high end restaurant but was very kid friendly, even welcoming to having children! Very reasonably priced too!!!
Long Review:
First off the table was very comfortable and nice and it was also set for family friendly, not like Denny's icky "family friendly", it had paper over the table cloth so kids could draw on it. Our son is almost 4 and daughter is 5 months. They had a coloring book with crayons. They promptly got him orange juice in a fun kid friendly cup. When ordering we briefly mentioned our son couldn't have milk so no cheese on the burger and the waiter came back and said that the bun had milk and gave us another option, that's the first time anyone has ever looked into allergies in the bread/food. The manager pleasantly stopped by our table and asked if it was our first time at the restaurant, with a friendly greeting and welcoming she gave us a sample of their most popular dish, which was amazing!! everything we ordered was topnotch, best burger meat flavor we've ever had, you can tell they use quality meat! Would we go again, YES YES YES! We've been to 5 star restaurants and this topped them all in service, food, and atmosphere!!!
Susie Mercado
If the food was amazing, I would like to add that the atmosphere, the service and the attention was excellent, thanks to Klarina for accomodate our party , for greed us with her beautiful smile, and most important thanked us all with a simple, 'we appreciate your bussiness." Great service.
Rebecca Chadwell
I just ordered over $60.00 worth of food from Uber. The lobster shrimp fettuccine does not even remotely look like the picture! My bf is very picky so I ordered him that because it looked pretty plain and simple but looked good. What I got was a oily based sauce with very little lobster and a ton of cherry tomatoes. No scallions like in the picture. And Uber sucks! I was only refunded $5.00 for a $25.00 dish! Never again!
Forouz Frs
Great customer service at the front desk. Our server was very nice and caring. The food was very good and they practice social distancing, each table has a bottle of sanitizer and they have online version of their menu as well.
Hugo Lesteiro
One of my favorite restaurants, never disappointed. Excellent food and amazing quality service. They were packed tonight and drinks took a bit longer than usual and Manager came in and comped them and apologized for the delay. Like everyone is on it always, love this restaurant!!!!
Victor Fanelli Jr
Food was absolutely amazing. It is very hard to impress me at an Italian restaurant but Brio went above and beyond. The food was prepared to perfection and the portions were big for the price which left me pleasantly surprised. The staff was superb and our waitress went out of her way to make sure every need was met. We went out with our whole family tonight so we had small children with us and she made sure their food came out quickly and they had everything they needed. The meals off the kids menu were almost big enough to feed an adult. Very glad we got two to split between three kids. We still had leftovers to come home.
Admin
I like this place and had a great time on my birthday here. Waiter was very pleasant. Food was good. I would not order the calamary appetizer again, because the very small portion was not even enough for one person, let alone to share... much smaller than in other comparable restaurants... The atmosphere here is classy and tables and chairs are very comfortable.
Quinella B
Service and food was awesome. 😍😍😍 …
Jefferson Andrade
I Have nothing negative to say about the resturant on my 1st visit.
New Level of Praise
Love the atmosphere it was lively and the food is worth the price. Although I wish they'd make the lasagna without the ricotta... Makes my stomach turn. Other then that love the food and staff. Second time going, this time on a double date with my father n law and mother n law. Had a wonderful time. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great date night spot.
Jeff Thomas
Great Lasagna. Service was great too. My wife commented to the server how refreshing it was.
Carmen Nieves
Great place ,food, and service , very attentive and pleasant staff, from the moment you make your reservation and walked in the restaurant, Klarina greeted us, accommodate us almost immediately, and in our way out thanked us and invited us to return.will be back for sure,
Ariel Morillo
We were so impressed with the quality of service and food. This was our first visit and I can't believe we haven't stopped in for dinner sooner. All of our food tasted spectacular, especially the pasta alla vodka. Definitely planning on visiting again very soon!
Wesley Hubbard
Food was delicious. I highly recommend the Gorgonzola Crusted Steak Medallions! Our server was very attentive. It was a great dining experience.
Tierra Theaker
I went Friday night and everything was AMAZING ! We sat at the bar and the bartender was amazing. She recommended the Shrimp and Eggplant which was SO good . I had the shrimp and lobster fettuccine and literally cleaned my plate. Everything was delicious and I would definitely be back !!!
Maria Climes
John was an awesome server. He was very attentive, and he made my first time dining at Brio very enjoyable. I will definitely return.
Mike Strickland
Great food and great service as always. Will keep coming back frequently.
Tom Konrad
Truffle garlic bread app was to die for but the two pasta dishes we tried were subpar. Tasted like they don't salt their pasta water.
Alice Ettinger
Love the outdoor dining. The food is presented beautifully, and tastes as good as it looks. Can't wait to go back.

Awesome! What a wonderful place! This is not your stereotypical Italian restaurant by any means. The food is more than what you might expect from an Italian menu. It's all so flavorful and delicious! And the wine is great too. The service was slightly high end and very good. The staff is dutiful and friendly but very professional. We had a wonderful time.

Wednesday Happy Hour with Martini specials and amazing bar bites is highly recommended. I had a dirty martini that was perfection, filled to the rim and blue cheese stuffed olives made the taste phenomenal. The Spicy Shrimp and Eggplant appetizer is something will order again and again. The sauce made this dish even better. The bartender was extremely attentive to our needs and frequently checked on our status.

I went to this event for a training from an investment company. The private room setting was very accommodating. The wait staff was attentive and on point. The food options for our meeting were unique in all food tasted good. I would definitely recommend this place for another meeting.

Emily is worth a 6 star review!! She makes you feel at home, even on your first visit. Truly a life changing experience. She has redefined bartending in my eyes. 10/10
pinkrosedeer
It is a great place, kid friendly, amazing food. Requested more tomato sauce on my pasta and they gladly did it.
Frank Colla
Excellent service sometimes a little to quick. Food was very good, pasta cooked perfectly.The bread is a masterpiece!
Marcy Malkin-Starnes
Superb food, wait staff was great. A little long wait in between courses but the food quality and service made up for it.
George Algozzina
We were very pleasantly surprised with our Sunday brunch! How nice that on Sunday there are two options... Lunch or brunch. The lunch menu is nice, but the brunch menu was amazing. I was totally odd by the shrimp and grits. What an amazing dish. Our server was Manny and he was amazing. Overall... An over-the-top experience.
Lynn Mounzer
Service was good, the ravioli was great so did the house wine to my surprise.
Kevin Kolinski
It is unbelievable to me that this restaurant is a chain (which we discovered after our meal). We were told the food is made from scratch while ordering and nothing we experienced indicated otherwise. Each item tasted...fresh.
The wedge salads were generous in size. If you don't enjoy a great deal of salad dressing you may want to request it on the side.
A flatbread pizza appetizer was tasty and a nice portion.
The Entree's were both served at a great temperature and had a fantastic flavor. A side of Fettuccine Alfredo was delightful.
We opted for the three mini-dessert option after the meal and it was more than two people could handle!
Excellent and friendly service topped off the experience. Excellent establishment and we will return!

We just stopped by for dessert as we ate right before going to the mall. Amazing creme brulee. I usually don't care for key lime pie, but I found it to be surprisingly good and refreshing. Indoors has a fine dining area, but is very cold, we sat out on the small patio area for a more laid back experience. Our waitress,(I'm sorry I couldn't remember her name), was very sweet and attentive.
Carlos Quiroga
If you want Italian food and pasta is not your option try their Tuscan pork chops. So delicious!
Removing Dross
We came across Brio while hunting for a spot to eat while at International Plaza.
The service was good as were our drinks and entrees. Everything was reasonably priced for being in a high-end area as well.
Our only criticism was when my dining partner’s entree came out, a salmon dish, it was missing the salmon! We took it in stride, they prepared another, and it was wonderful.
Worth checking out when at International Plaza and needing a decent spot to eat...just make sure the salmon is on the plate!
Jose Zapata
Good food and atmosphere. Drinks were strong and a good time was had by all.
Chrissy Butler
J. was Amazing!! Excellent Service!! Entire staff was Great!! Will be going back!! The GM Kurt was Fabulous. I didn't like my chicken but I Loved the steak medallions Exquisite!! The Minestrone was Very Good. Can't wait to come back.
Chris Iceberg
Delicious food at a modern upscale dining location. The gorgonzola crusted beef tops were excellent. Super tender and flavorful. The pasta brio was a pleasant dish full of flavor. To my surprise the lobster bisque was amazing. I highly recommend trying this restaurant if your at the international mall.
Madeline Buono
Our server Carlos was great, he knew the menu very well and made some suggestions that were excellent. He was quick, friendly and professional. I will definitely return and ask for our favorite server Carlos.
Justin Price
As far as International mall food is concerned, this is one of the quietest restaurants with a cozy atmosphere. They have a seasoning blend for their steaks that tastes amazing. Tried asking around but apparently its top secret. We have never had a bad meal here and the Sunday brunch is surprisingly good. Lobster bisque is perfection here as well.
Mr. Quinn
Went today and not impressed. Chicken dish tasted cheap and lacked flavor. My partners salmon dish was good but the pasta brio was very disappointing. Plus the server never checked on us after we ordered. Not impressed at all.
William McCaw
Was a fantastic place for my wife's company Christmas party. The salmon was PERFECT, steak was a little overcooked though and the dessert was a bit subpar. Overall the experience was great and aside from the few issues I would gladly go back.
Sean Sam Chee
Fresh ingredients. Portions sizes large, proteins were quality salmon and Beef, meal was tasty. Service was fast and accurate...
David Phillips
2 generations of 19 family members! Staff was great! I had Pasta Brio, GF had Salmon salad both were fantastic.
James McMullen
Classy and shiek atmosphere. Had the shrimp and eggplant appetizer and it is to die for. The garden salad had a delicious lemon dressing which was light and flavorful. Had the grouper which was hot and seasoned to perfection. The mixed vegetables were cold under the piping hot fish, but we're still very tasty.
Keri Banegas
Had a special work outing tonight and was thoroughly pleased with the entire experience. We only had a party of 8 but had 2 servers who checked back frequently. We ordered 1 of each appetizer and I couldn't get enough of the artichoke dip. It was fantastic. Another new fave of mine was the lobster bisque. I order it every chance I get and this was by far the best bisque out of any restaurant I've ever had! I was on the fence about getting the pork t-bone but I'm glad I got it...it was moist and delicious. I will definitely be returning and telling all my friends about this place.
Mike T
The mature d’ was rather curt when seating us for dinner. I had the Spagetti Bolognese and my wife had the Chicken Scaloppine. They were both good but only average Italian and nothing special. The service was poor and therefore the reason for only 3 stars. Not on my recommended list.
Katie Kit (ThunderGoats)
Great food and wonderful customer service. The place is a little fancier than you might expect but the prices are really reasonable. I went to a private party upstairs in one of their exclusive rooms and it was really an amazing experience. The view, the catering and the cake we're all exceptional. We had such a great time. We will come back again.
David Luna
The food there was wonderful and they had a great selection. The waiters and hostess were very polite and kind. We had a large group for a baby shower there and our waiter was meticulous in keeping everyone's drinks topped off and food quickly brought out. Lovely crew.
Richard Morea
5-15-21 Had the chicken, capers, rapini, and mashed potato dish. Good but the rapini was limp, some chicken breasts a bit tough. Their little crusty triangle breads were delicious and the nine-ounce pinot gregio pour was deep and delicious, more like 10 ounces. The air was too cold. Don't think I'll go back. Service was very good. Very attentive waitress and we tipped accordingly.
Huba Hubby
Best place, people who are complaining have no reason to. Good food, service was great, prices were great. Everything was great. 10/10 would go again. I got the grilled salmon and it would just melt in your mouth, In a good way, and everything you could tell was fresh and done well.
Cathy A.
Nice venue. Good was very good. The fried calamari was different in the sense that it was think n not a ring, but extremely tender. Salad was delicious. I was in the meeting n private party areas n unfortunately the next room had a loud birthday party. I think that the rooms could have been distributed differently so that there party didn't effect the information seminar that I was attending. It was hard to hear our speaker over their laughter n singing. Point off for not planning that out better.
Kathleen Everett
Excellent food and service. Beautiful atmosphere
Emma Van Dyke
I had a great experience here! Last year I came for my birthday, and this year I did the same! Our waitress, Brooke, was so intuitive and incredibly sweet. She, and the food, was fantastic! :)
Amantia Sacco
One of the few chain restaurants worth visiting. This place always delivers. I have been here for lunch, dinner, busy holidays, for business and large family celebrations. No matter the occasion, the service has always been great and the food consistently delicious. The shrimp and lobster risotto is amazing. If you want to be extra indulgent, ask the chef to pour some lobster bisque over it. To die for!
Amy
Great service. Great food. Those potatoes were absolutely delicious
Karim Bandealy
Our server was very polite and checked on us often. We ordered the filet mignon and New York strip. The food wasn't bad, however the strip did have more gristle than expected. Besides that, it wasn't a bad experience. Service was quick and we were there for about 1.5 hours. Would definitely go again.
Evan Lawson
Visited on my 1st anniversary with the Love of my Life, our server Willis made our visit absolutely amazing and the food was simply jaw dropping and satisfying. I’m coming back and I’m certainly requesting Willis. The coolest, most easygoing guy in the place. Thanks man
Wine Ondevine
Outstanding happy hour. Prices are great. Food is superb. Staff help is good some time, lacking other times. The ambiance is nice. They always make sure your meal is good. They even have a rewards program if you dine there often.
Ivonnette Lai
Very nice meal, I had the salmon and my husband had the spicy shrimp Mediterranean. The chocolate with gelato cake was very good. Our waiter Matt was excellent and James the bar tender very attentive. We will be back!!
Irina Lowery
Everything was great, the food is delicious. We we're informed that everything is made from scratch and is organic. Well, except soda, of course. It is on expensive side though. A modest dinner for three, with no alcohol or desert, was $112. I would love to go there as often as I can but I am afraid it will not be soon.
Leesa Nero
Dinner, white sangria and dessert were awesome.

Good morning,
I'm reaching out today to draw attention to my family and I's recent experience at the Brio Tuscan Grille, Tampa, FL 2223 N. Westshore Blvd Suite B209 location. Last night we decided to stop into this specific restaurant location for dinner after my visit to Tampa for work. We were brought to a table in which Matt G. was our server during our visit. From the moment we first had our introduction to Matt the experience we had was fantastic! Matt was extremely pleasant, respectful, knowledgeable of the menu and specials along with different wine selections. Matt's presence and visits to our table were always appropriately timed and perfectly complimented the deliciously prepared meal. I work for one of the largest financial institutions in the world as a corporate education manager that leads and develops associate learning, building relationships, and client experience, so when I observe individuals that exude exemplary behaviors and traits that Matt showed us, I wish more were like him!
Also, one of the most important pieces to this experience was that the air conditioning unexpectedly stopped working during our visit which made the temperature in the restaurant higher than comfort level, but the calm, cool, and collective professionalism from Matt, partnered with the delectable meal, distracted my family from the temperature spike. The manager Susan also stopped by to apologize for the heat, and was just as much a comforting and enjoyable experience.
Overall, our visit was 5 stars even with the A/C unexpectedly going down. Matt G., his Manager Susan, and the chefs that prepared our meal kept our experience top tier and COOL during our first visit to Brio Tuscan Grille!
I hope this email will aid in showing spotlight to the people who make your company successful!
Thank you!
Nathan Flores
Emily is awesome and the food is great amazing service and food
Philip Arriaga
The food was served very hot. Love it! I had to ask for more bread while having lasagna and didn't get any until I was half way done. The lasagna was ok. It had only one layer. Not so good. Fried Calamari needs improvement.
Jaime Lazarus
Matthew (Matt G) was the absolute BEST when it came to caring for the four of us at lunch! Not only did he go above and beyond the "usual" task
to provide everything we ordered, etc. but he made an extra and appreciated effort to acknowledge my wife and my anniversary celebration of our wedding. In addition, there was a (hardly noticeable to us) slight delay in the delivery of a drink so Matthew took it upon himself to ask the manager for, and receive, a complimentary specialty drink for that person who was waiting. How nice is that?
He has a great personality too! Matthew's an incredible representative of Brio Tuscan Grille's customer-oriented staff.
Oh, and the restaurant's fabulous. "5-Stars" on the food, the cleanliness and every other aspect of our meal. This could turn out to be our new "go-to" restaurant for all special occasions!
P.S. - This is written by someone who RARELY writes a review!
Rachel
The food here was very good. I got a lobster and shrimp pasta and I loved it.
I'm leaving three stars for a few reasons. For one, it took a long time to be seated. We had reservations, and we arrived before our reservation tine. We were told that it would just be a few minutes, but it was actually over a 15 minute wait. And we had to approach the hostess stand to figure out what was going on. It's proper courtesy to provide an accurate estimate of how long it will take to be seated. If it will be 15 minutes, apologize and let us know. But giving a vague time frame and not updating us when it goes beyond a few minutes is rude. This restaurant was not busy by any means, so there's no excuse.
Also, it took a long time to have drinks brought to us. Again, this restaurant was not busy. Then they were out of the wine we ordered and lemonade. It's weird because we were there early on a Friday evening. So when did you run out of a menu item? It took forever to have bread brought out. I think all the issues may come down to lack of organization.
I would probably come here again, but it wouldn't be my first choice. The food was really good, so that's a majorly redeeming quality.
Miguel Castro
Brio is good, but just not great. I've been a few times and it's always a few notches below great. I would have given a 3.5 if I could. The good parts are the staff and decor. They start you off with sour dough bread and a crispy cracker bread. Both are good,but the sourdough bread does not feel like it fits for Italian. The calamari is nice and tender but is not crispy. It's a little on the soggy side. I've had a few of their pastas with the chicken rigatoni being my favorite. I asked for al dente and they delivered nicely. Flavors are very mild. Italian food while simple can be very favorable depending on the quality of the ingredients. Overall, I feel I've given them a fair shake and probably will not return on my own.
Tishara Griffis
Wonderful food and service. Every visit here is amazing. The staff is exceptional and so is the management. I will continue to bring new people here.
Lauren Keen Aumond
We had a little different than usual experience at Brio because we went there for a networking event. The upstairs has a bar for the events and event dining rooms. We were able to choose from a menu of 3 items. The two of us happened to choose Bistecca. The meals were good, albeit a bit cold (which is more than understandable given the number of people they were serving). The price was good, too. I will say that the wines upstairs are overpriced (like, more than most wines are). We each got a glass of Decoy (9 oz) that cost more than a bottle would at Publix.
Rick Goode
I was there for a work event the service was Incredible!!! I wish I could remember my servers names we were in a room upstairs. The chicken parmesan was great and the cheese tortellini with the vodka sauce was one of the best I've ever had
Andy Conklin
This was our first visit. Everyone was very friendly. We had a large party and the service was great. The gorgonzola beef medallions were amazing! I wish we lived closer but I will definitely come again.
Arturo Rodriguez
Service was above average as was the food quality. The vodka sauce was perfect.
Zac Chapel
Always crazy good food with excellent service. Get the wedge salad it's phenomenal. I ordered the salmon and it was cooked perfectly. Never had a bad experience here, always on their game.
RockerMom
First time we were seated we waited 7-8 mins w/o being acknowledged, so we left and came back to sit in the bar area which is half inside and half al fresco for people watching. The server came immediately and it was fast after that. Food is good. We ordered the salad and lobster bisque combo.
Amanda B. Gutierrez
I attend monthly meetings at this location in the upstairs section so I get spoiled with the great one on one service provided. Both vegetarian as well as the chicken pasta choices have been wonderful. I have yet to eat in the restaurant off the main menu.

This place is an upscale Italian restaurant. The prices here are a little higher but you do taste the difference in the food. The atmosphere is nice and lively inside but not overly noisy. I think most people come here for good food and a nice ambiance.
R TaborMiller
The food is excellent, however if you are looking for a new place to celebrate birthday's and special occasions, this is NOT the place. As I said the food is excellent, but they totally ignore the special occasion - we are BIG on celebrating. We put the "special note" on our online reservation AND told the waitress that we were celebrating a birthday and they did nothing, then find out as we were leaving they have a small cake for such celebrations - I guess you have to dance on the table to get the cake, not sure. Go for the food, not to celebrate...very disappointing.
Jason D
First time going here. The service was excellent, food tasty. Definitely will go again.
Courtney L
Last night, I took my mom out to dinner to Brio. She doesn't like to go out to dinner now, with COVID being a major concern for her. Upon entering, we asked about seating options and we were able to get a booth, which provided us with plenty of room to be distanced from other guests. Everyone was wearing a mask, there was hand sanitizer available on the tables, and we felt safe eating out (they have options to eat indoor or outdoor). Not only this, but the food was AMAZING!! We were very happy with our experience at Brio and will return in the future.
Gulnoza Marupova
Delicious food. So far I tried spicy shrimp appetizer, tomato soup, mushroom soup, steak, fresh catch fish. I have no complains. Great food and great service. Every time I go there I leave very happy
Vullaby123
For my first time, I had truly enjoyed it. It would have been better bringing someone along with me, but I decided to try it. And honestly, you all did not disappoint. Loved the service and the food. Thank you all.
Marian LaForte
Always enjoyable! It was the first time trying the Spicy Shrimp and Eggplant - excellent! Worth going back for it. Don't like the change they made to the Calamari; it was so much better before.
Lena Roberts
This was our 2nd visit and it was just as good as the first. Who would have thought an Italian restaurant would have the Best Pork Chops Ever?!?!
To finish we had the most delicious chocolate cake with raspberries. I would drive back over the bridge just for that.
Service was perfect, Thank you Robbie and Nichole.
Delaney Armstrong
My boyfriend and I had dinner here tonight for the first time for our anniversary. The food, the drinks, the people, wonderful. The manager, Maria, came over at one point in the night and gave us a little treat for our anniversary and even had them serve our dessert on a plate that had "1st year anniversary" written in chocolate. Will definitely be joining them again soon. ☺️ Shout out to Eddie for our service and Tracy for the hosting!
Frank Izzo
Had the calamari appetizer it was salty and over cooked. Entree had the spaghetti Bolognese it was good.
Sharon Rasponi
I hate to write a mixed review of Brio, because I absolutely love the food, but I feel like this particular Brio has gone down hill. My family and I went in mid-afternoon, and there was no hostess to seat us after a few minutes of waiting, so we went to the bar and sat at a high top that had yet to be cleaned up from the last patron (no tables at the bar had been cleaned up). After about 5 minutes of waiting and my Uncle asking for help, someone finally came to clean to the table. They didn't clean any of the other dirty tables around us, but at least ours was somewhat wiped up, but it still felt dirty... and we had no plates or silver even after they brought bread I had to get up and hunt it down. The waitress tried her best and the food was fine once it finally came, but come on Brio management you are in International Plaza with a lot of competition, do better or I can see you being the next restaurant to shut down.
Mia Michele
We had my sister's baby shower here Nov 20th 2021. Everything was amazing the food the champagne the service!
Tennis40jw
Excellent food. I asked for a salmon pasta dish that wasn't on the lunch menu (they have it for dinner) and they were very accommodating . The dish was amazing! The pasta carbonara was tasty as well and full of flavor. Will definitely come again!
Michael Leonard
Placed an online order.
You're able to pick up your order in the front at the host stand. No need to walk through the restaurant to another area, unlike some other places.
The order was ready in time, everything was accurate and tasted great!
Al Goldman (DaShadow)
Okay place but food was average at best.
Clinton Foster
I have eaten at many different Brio locations across the country over the years. This one has spottier than usual service at tables in the bar area, regardless of how crowded it is.
The patio and restaurant empty out early compared to other restaurants at International Plaza's "Bay Street", a mixed blessing on nights when it's hard to find a table elsewhere.
The food is pretty good for a chain. There is no beer on draft.
Lisa Lucente Hamilton
Excellent time. The servers were very efficient and friendly. Food was great, as always. Will definitely return.
Jose Lopez
Great Food,, great variety of beers and mixed drinks. Did I mention Valet Parking? Definitely a class act. Well worth it.
jasmine switzer
Thomas, our waiter, was absolutely amazing and very attentive. Once we received our entres I had made a private comment to my sister that I only had one pice of lobster in my shrimp and lobster Alfredo (I only said this to her so she wouldn’t eat it) but Thomas overheard the comment which he promptly brought me more to add to my Alfredo. He went out of his way to make sure our food and experience was up to expectation.
Dave Blackmore
Top quality Tuscan fare with fantastic service.
Despite a waitress tipping over a plate of spaghetti on me! The response from the manager was immediate. Offering a dry clean service and discount voucher straight away. Top service.
Food was fantastic; especially the beef carpaccio and calamari starters.
Well done. We'd come back for sure.
Stephanie Williams
The manager and server were amazing. It was my friend's birthday dinner and she made sure to come by and personally say happy birthday and also gave a birthday card. It was one of the best experiences I've had at a restaurant in a long time.
Cat Borovich
Klarina is so kind and friendly! She does a great job and always has a pleasant smile on her face for all her customers!!
Amanda Weston, PhD, LMHC
We went for our first time on Thursday and there were a few issues but good highlights. When we arrived, we were promptly greeted and seated which was nice. We have been meaning to try this place for some time and heard many good reviews. Our waiter was a nice gentleman who seemed slightly newer but eager to help us understand the menu though when we asked what certain items were because it was our first time, it was a confusing experience due to the way he communicated what the items were or how he viewed them. He was sweet though. We waited a while for our appetizer and was not offered bread like other tables around us (we asked ourselves which may be policy but he told us he forgot about it). We got the sausage and onion jam flatbeard as an appetizer which was really good but we wished it was crisper so the items would not fall off the flatbeard so easily. The flavors were really good overall. We both ordered the carbonara as our entrees but were disappointed in the taste and the temperature of our food. Mine was lukewarm and the sauce had a different taste to it that left my stomach feeling sick. A bug also fell onto our table (a smaller insect) but it may be due to being placed next to the emergency door or the air vent closest to us. We were given the check without being asked if we wanted dessert and the tray of desserts brought to us had replicas of the items being served but the items offered differed from the website (which is fine and that does happen at some establishments) but the tray was disorganized and looked old. We ordered the creme brulle. The flavor of the custard was really good but it was cold (which did not take away from the experience but we are used to heated custard so giving fair warning) and had a huge strawberry on top that was barely sliced so we had to stab through the strawberry to get to the custard but it made the flavors so delicious. A suggestion may be to slice the strawberry into smaller, more manageable pieces but the flavor was great. Overall, it wasn't entirely impressive but it was a beautiful restaurant with clean bathrooms and friendly staff.
Chhavi Dhawan
All pastas were great. Yummy drinks.and yummy food. GREAT service. Good looking food too I must say
Charles Wainer
Excellent food, very friendly staff, reasonably priced, we really enjoyed it. Highly Recommended.
Denise HALL
Excellent food and service was great. They were out of tonic water for vodka and tonic. They went and bought some. Not many places would do that.
Sriram V
Giving a 3 star because of a degrade in quality and portion. Starting from the soda ( Pepsi) on my case was so watery, we had been a regular visitor to this restaurant and never had such a bad experience.
The server was also rude.
Asan Bui
Lobster shrimp fettuccini pasta was awesome
Dan
Food was pretty good. Went there last night- party of ten. Service was spotty. Hostess seemed annoyed upon our arrival. We had two servers> one was very good, the other not good. Our check arrived without asking for it and was taken off table before we left. Mens bathroom was out of paper towels. Some of our dessert orders were missed.
Anyway, nothing we'd race back to. The Brio at UTC appears to be managed better in comparison. Service was the big downfall for our dinner.
Kim Goodwin
Went on Saturday late afternoon early evening and the staff well informed on menu items, service was great! Food was delish and the whole mini Avenue being Bay Street is very cool Europa style. Thank you Brio😘👌 …
Kyla Fisher
We ended up coming here since the wait at another restaurant was more than we wanted to wait, so we decided to have Italian instead. We are happy we ended up here! Excellent service & our entrées were delicious.
barry wirth
Our waiter Daniel was fantastic. He gave us three solid recommendations that were spot on! I would ask for him if you go there. Food was exceptional!
Joyce Boresow
My host and I had the lamb chop appetizer, which was wonderful. Service was excellent.
Kat O
2nd time I went here with co-workers. Amazingly delicious chicken/pesto flatbread. I didn't care for the Calamari. It was rubbery and barely breaded; not crispy. I felt the pieces were cut too thick as well. Server was outstanding! Wish I could remember her name; she needs a shout out!
Ken Kupferman
Food and service were very good but only gave 4 stars because you would think a nice place like this would not have ripped seat cushions in their booths.
Love Life
Excellent Filet Mignon! Spinach dip was good, but didn't care for the tortillas it came with. Pesto pasta was not good at all. However, the server took it off our check. Additionally, he comped the dip. Will be back someday.
John Allen
Food was outstanding, however, Mike our waiter was not very attentive at all. My wife had an empty ice tea glass for 15 minutes twice. Didn’t even really care if we had desert or not. Great food so we will be back just not setting in Mikes section
Alan Ball
We always have a great meal there. I like the Spaghetti Bolognese and my spouse likes the Lobster fettuccine.
Cassie Bell
Delicious food and wonderful service!
Tre Stevenson
The beef medallions were SOOO good! The grilled salmon was also pretty wonderful. The atmosphere and staff were pleasant as well. I'd definitely recommend giving them a try if you've never been.
Carlos Davila Jr
Great service and food. I was seated right away with the friendly host and server. Nunzio was our server and he was very nice and made sure our orders were correct and just checked on us. I look forward to eating here again in the future. I had the Campanelle Carbonara Pasta and Tiramisu for dessert.
Jacob Lurvey
My wife and I had our wedding reception here. The food was amazing and the staff very attentive to our guest. We highly recommend using brio for your parties, we will use then again in the future.
Donna Jacobs
Haven't been to a Brio in years but had a great time. The service was excellent as were the food and drinks. Make sure to try the carpaccio and gimlet when you are there. Both are to die for!
Brandon Lopez
Emily provided an extraordinary experience from behind the bar! Her knowledge of the menu was impeccable and she is very warm and welcoming!
Vonda Pu Pu
Whether coming n for happy hour or a late night snack this place is perfect for a nice setting, intimate service and great food!!! Sit at the bar for excitement. The appetizer menu is jus enough for me. Excellent drinks as well. All the waiters are superb and offer excellent service
Nicole King
We chose to have lunch here based on the excellent reviews on this site - and we were not disappointed. Wright's is truly a destination in itself! It's a huge "open kitchen" facility filled with friendly smiling staff, all eager to provide you with the best sandwich you've ever had. First you go to one of the 5 cashiers who...
Stephen Garrett
Wonderful bday party there. Good was fantastic.
Tasha Mitchell
OMG. SO. YUMM! So, it's a MUST you try the crab cake.. I know a little pricy (1 for $17) BUT OH SO WORTH IT! And YES, use the dipping sauce it comes with 🤤. For my entree, I had the lobster and shrimp pasta 👌🏾 also very good. Service and atmosphere was so perfect. This was my first time.. and will be going back for another crab cake very soon.
Paul Smith
Had a Sunday brunch here and it was excellent! The gorganzola medallions were superb! Wife had the lemon chicken. Dessert was great too!
Mark Conway
Good food, attentive service. Only negative was food felt like it took a little longer than average to arrive
Jeff Fowler
Great food, went with some friends and we all had a great time. Atmosphere was great and beer was cold.
Gachi Roa
Salmon fresca, best dish ever!! Excellent service and food, Emily the bartender the best always!!
Jim
Don't pay premium for average. Our food was warm, not hot. Party of 8, and place 40% full, so no excuses. Service was mixed, iced tea refills very slow, otherwise ok.
