Worst $60 meal I've ever had.
Short opinion: stick to the pizza
Long opinion:
I've gone to Bricco twice before with pleasant results. I've had a couple pizzas there, as well as the veal parmigiana. Quite good, as is their presentation of a Caesar Salad
Today Bricco jumped the shark. It was HORRIBLE.
We ordered an appetizer billed as Calamari with Peppers ($9). What we got was a plate of sliced peppers dotted occasionally with a few bits of seriously undercooked calamari. See it here:

Our entrees were the "Linguine with Shrimp and Alfreedo" ($14) and the "Seared Scallops and Shrimp with Apple-Bacon Risotto" ($22)
The linguine came in a decent Alfredo.. with THREE shrimp. No lie.
The Scallops and Shrimp were appalling - the sauce chosen for the seafood was a horrid combination with the risotto, and the risotto was uncooked in the middle and mush on the outside. To top off this delightful combo I got a side of broccoli that was ALL BLACK all over the stems. See it here:

This ENTIRE meal should have been sent back to the kitchen. I just hate to "be that person" - but in hindsight I really should have...
Stick to the pizza - if I ever go back, that's all I'm risking. This was FAR too much money for such poorly executed food...
