I've had a couple pizzas there, as well as the veal parmigiana. Quite good, as is their presentation of a Caesar Salad\n\nToday Bricco jumped the shark. It was HORRIBLE.\n\nWe 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:\nhttp://twitpic.com/k0wen\n\nOur entrees were the \"Linguine with Shrimp and Alfreedo\" ($14) and the \"Seared Scallops and Shrimp with Apple-Bacon Risotto\" ($22)\n\nThe linguine came in a decent Alfredo.. with THREE shrimp. No lie. \n\nThe 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:\nhttp://twitpic.com/k0xz2 (this photo barely shows the grossness of the broccoli)\n\nThis ENTIRE meal should have been sent back to the kitchen. I just hate to \"be that person\" - but in hindsight I really should have...\n\nStick 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..."^^ . "5"^^ . "2009-10-03T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ .
