| - So far, I've tried 3 out of the 118 Brio Tuscan Grille's.
I've tried their location in Alexandria, Virginia, which I previously reviewed (3/5 Stars), a couple visits to their location in Gilbert, Arizona (4/5 Stars), and was close to this location, and thought I'd try it.

THE STORY & SERVICE EXPERIENCE
On this occasion, I had a training class in the area, and wanted a quick bite.
I had never been to this location, but I've enjoyed their other locations.
Although the decor is a little kitschy-over-the-top, I like it.
My server, Kelvin, was super fun.
I had the shrimp appetizer, which I always love, and it was practically free with the Yelp check-in voucher.
Everything I had was OUTSTANDING.
CONCLUSION
Are they the "Best Italian Restaurant in America?"
I'm not sure about that, but, so far, every visit to this location has been fantastic!
The food is good, the restaurant is over-the-top cute, and the service excellent.
