Tuvimos una increíble experiencia de último minuto aquí en Brio. Mi familia de cinco y yo tuvimos el placer de ser atendidos por el increíble Claudio. Un anfitrión excepcional. Aunque llegamos más tarde, estaba lleno de energía y nos dio una excelente recomendación. Gracias por hacer nuestras vacaciones aún más especiales. 💯

Nuestro camarero Cloudio fue fantástico. Las bebidas estaban buenísimas. La comida estaba deliciosa. Pedí raviolis de langosta y mi esposa salmón salvaje escocés, y a ambos nos encantaron nuestros platos. ¡Y el tiramisú estaba tan bueno que lo devoramos a pesar de estar ya llenos!

Came here on a Sunday night after driving by this place for a number of years. The outdoor seating area was nicer than it looked from the outside and the Halloween decor was a kitschy sort of cute. Our server was fantastic and took time to make recommendations and made sure our waters were always full. We started with the over baked baguette, which I have to say was a fantastic piece of bread. The rest of the food itself didn't knock my socks off but my chicken was good and the others in my party had a similar assessment of their plates. Not incredible but good. The dessert menu was intriguing but I'll have to come back to develop an opinion on that.

Hopped over to this restaurant for dinner from the hotel in DanaPoint as part of our continued anniversary celebration. Since I love Italian foods, our kids chose this restaurant that was close to where we stayed and to celebrate the occasion with us. This restaurant is a hidden gem in Dana Point/ Laguna Miguel. The restaurant is full of vies. Mixing with live jazz music, the restaurant is full of live and energy. The foods are even better. The two appetizers we ordered were amazing. Deep fried calamari was very good with crispy batter. The tomato sauce came with the appetizer was so good that I just ate it all. I loved my main dish of penne Donatello. The creamy tomato sauce was not too thick and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The other dishes my family ordered were also fantastic. The plates were cleaned up. Had a beautiful evening with the family. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful, provided excellent service.

The music on Saturday nights is wonderful. The manager is extremely helpful and knowledgeable the food is good and flavorful. Lots of guests the day we went so the service was a little slow. Lots of fun when there is music especially when Cheryl Silverstein is there singing.

We love coming here for happy hour. The food is really good. The 4 stars are for consistency it would be 5. Some dishes are not made the same way but are still good. I love the Shrimp appetizer and the garlic bread. I have tried a few things and everything is good. The bartenders are always on point and friendly. This is close to home and I would consider it a hidden gem. It is popular at happy hour so get there early. They also do a lot for the community and have fun parties during the holidays. They do have daily specials ask your server. Great place to unwind and chill out with good food.

Disappointed in the meal. Food was mediocre, crispy calamari fritti for $18 was plain and bland, said had tentacles but there were none and came with a small amount of sauce, we asked for more but came too late. Main pasta dishes were underwhelming, bolognese was more tomato based with chunks of meat rather than a ragu, the pappardelle pasta was good had bits of filet that weren’t that tender. Ordered side Italian sausage and for $8 each they were overcooked and dry. No bread offered, pay for it if you want it, very loud live saxophone player, too loud for small indoor space so we asked for the outdoor covered patio. The patio was pleasant. Moderate wine selections, Paso Robles wines were very pleasant, Server Ann was friendly and attentive. Too many Italian restaurant options that are better to come back here.

My bookclub met at Brio last night for the 1/2 price pasta night. The member organizing specifically clarified that separate bills would be provided. this was affirmed by 3 people, as they joined the party, including me. When we asked for the bill, we were told it wasn’t possible to separate the bills. We grumbled but said we’d figure it out. Almost 2 hours later, after similar complaints from the table next to us, we were provided with separate bills. I was charged full price for my pasta. I got the Donatello Pasta. It was good, but the bill was not what I expected. $28.00 for pasta without any bread or salad, was not what I’d get at other restaurants. However, expecting the bill to be 1/2 price, it worked, but my meal was not 1/2 price as stated on the menu! At that point, I was not going to complain again, as I had to get home! During the meal, our water was not replenished, until I finally asked and then only 3 of us got refills and mine was only 1/2 way, with the waitress promising to come back. I had to ask for Parmesan cheese and didn’t bother to ask for ground pepper as it wasn’t worth it. She never asked if we needed anything else and would go 30 minutes between stopping by. We had a few ladies who wanted dessert, but she never came back for the order! It was a mess! This was my 1st time at the restaurant and will definitely be my last. The group agreed! We will not return!

We heard amazing things so we were super excited to go listen to live music on a Friday night. Happy hour drinks. We're okay. It wasn't overcrowded so it was very easy to get a table. The restaurant does have a nice family element to it but definitely seems to cater to the older senior crowd. My major challenge was more with the menu. Their appetizers were decent but their entrees were extremely poor. I had the pork chop. I took two bites of it. It was extremely dry and overcooked. It tasted more like fried chicken than a pork chop, especially a thick cut. The potatoes that it came with were prepared more like dried raisins. They seem to have almost no moisture or texture to them. They were almost like lemon shaped chunks of potato chip. When the waitress came back and asked how everything was, I told her I didn't really enjoy the pork chop very much. Obviously since barely any of the food was touched she brought us out our receipt. Much to my surprise the pork chop was still on the bill. I understand the etiquette. If somebody takes something off the menu, you tip the waitress, whatever that meal cost. It wasn't her fault. The kitchen did a poor job. But when they don't take it off the receipt. It's definitely a huge red flag and quite truthfully, a bit of a slap in the face. To any way Chris is out there or to any patrons. If you do get a bad meal and you send it back that's okay. You should tip the waitress, whatever that meal cost on top of their normal tip. Any waitresses out there, If a customer doesn't enjoy their meal and it's obvious they didn't touch it, take it off the bill. It's the only way you're going to get a second chance and you get a bigger tip so I don't understand why something like that doesn't happen at many restaurants. It should have happened here. If it was only my pork chop that was bad then I probably wouldn't have written a review. My wife's salad wasn't good. Two out of three of our appetizers were very bland but the mozzarella sticks on marinara sauce were surprisingly really good. If you go I would highly recommend those and the Mai tais

We were there on a Sunday recently and brought two of our dear friends because of our bragging about the food and the service. I must say it was the worst we've ever had. First off we ordered a bottle of wine and then asked for a little bit of time before we order. That wasn't a problem, it was the fact that the food came late, overdone and poorly prepared. I ordered Sole piccata and it came plain in I don't know what kind of sauce, but I could barely eat it. The wine helped wash it down. Our friends ordered their specialty salmon with a champagne, reduction sauce, and it came almost charred and dry. I don't know if we will return. I tried to call and speak to the manager the next day and was told the manager won't be in for a couple of days. That might be the problem. Maybe management should stick around and see what the kitchen is doing.

Most disappointing $100 meal I’ve ever ordered. The baguette was burned and missing the dipping sauces (could get a better one from Ralph’s). The cups of soup were barely filled and mostly just briny both with 2 bits of lobster in one of the orders. Pasta was dry and flavorless. Gelato was missing the chocolate sauce. The only decent thing was the pizza. This was our first and last time ever eating here. We tried it after thinking it was the Brio Italian Grill (not Tuscany) we’ve had before that is amazing. We realized it wasn’t the same before ordering but thought we’d give it a try. Total waste of money!

Disappointing Experience at Brio Tuscany Grill We had high hopes for Brio Tuscany Grill on Saturday, July 19th, but our experience was a disaster. We drove from Aliso Viejo, excited to enjoy some great Italian food, but left feeling frustrated and disappointed. The problems started when I asked to taste two wines and was told they don’t offer “tasters.” I ordered a glass of wine listed at $11 on the menu, but it was billed at $12. We ordered garlic bread, eggplant, and a salad to share, and when the bill came, every item except the garlic bread was priced higher than the menu—by $1-$2 each. Adding insult to injury, we were charged a $6 split fee on a $9 salad and an $8 split fee on the $23 eggplant (which was also incorrectly billed at $24). The initial bill was nearly $90 before we complained and had the split fees removed. When we brought up the incorrect pricing, the manager shrugged it off and blamed the server. The only bright spot was our server, who was sweet, attentive, and went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Unfortunately, the misrepresentation of pricing, excessive split fees, and lack of accountability from management have ensured we won’t be back. Brio Tuscany Grill, how hard is it to reprint menus with accurate pricing? And as a manager, own up to your mistakes instead of passing the blame.
