| - As one of the major new restaurants in my area, I've been wanting to try Brio since it opened, and I'm glad I did - I was very pleased!
-- Roasted red pepper and mozzarella bruschetta was very good...my only complaint is that it could have used a little more balsamic, and the mozz was a little greasy. I personally would have done a mix of mozz and goat cheese but, hey, I'm not the chef.
-- Chopped salad was okay...chopped lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, olive, and feta in a nice, light dressing
-- Pasta alla vodka...highly recommended! tortellini stuffed with ricotta in a spicy tomato cream sauce, with basil, crispy prosciutto, and garlic for that special added kick of flavor that makes this dish unique
-- Chicken limone...your standard picatta, but with two huge breasts of chicken and a side of yummy pasta (although the pasta was a little cold)
-- "Dolchinos"...small servings of desserts...we tried the key lime pie, which was yummy, but it was the bananas foster creme brulee that evoked a WOW!
All-in-all, I'm very pleasantly surprised by this chain restaurant. Lovely dining room, attentive service, and great food at moderate prices (figure $25-30 per person).
