Excellent food and service. If you receive a coupon so much the better.
My wife's Chicken Marsala was inedible. Full of grizzle. My Shrimp and Lobster dish was tasteless.
Good service. High pricing for food
Seating was horrible a very rude hostess gave us a table right next to the front door when I advised I was uncomfortable due to the huge blast of cold air that came in when the door opened and also sitting in a high traffic area with people forced to walk past my table coming and going constantly in times of COVID. She gave me a look like I was crazy for saying something she then said to give her a minute went back to her stand up front then a young man very nice and polite came over and took us to our table all was good till a huge bug started crawling up the wall next to me I told the same rude hostess who apparently told my waiter something had spilled and he came out looking for a spill with a hand-full of paper towels I said no it’s the bug crawling up the wall he was shocked but cleaned it away and apologized I said ok I’ve been here a dozen times before and in the past always a good experience this must just be a fluke day I picked thru the dinner I paid $100.00 for not really eating because the bug crawling up the wall grossed me out. in the end I ask for a cup of coffee that was horrible I couldn’t even drink it must of been sitting for hours and was luke warm at best. I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE BUT IS HAS HORRIBLY WENT DOWN HILL and I think this was my last time visiting this horrible but once great restaurant so disappointed in what this place has become

It looks worn out

So appreciate outdoor dining options that are comfortable! George was an attentive waiter and the food was as yummy as always. Another win!
Thank you Elizabeth! We're glad you joined us on the patio and enjoyed your meal. We look forward to serving you again.
Very nice visit with friends
Glad you have outside dining
Thank you! We hope to serve you again soon.
Need to fine tune the timing between courses. We were only half way through our salads when our main course came out. One of my pet peeves.
Also I made reservations and requested a booth. When we arrived no booths were available. If I made reservations and requested a booth, one should have been reserved for us. I find it hard to believe everyone in a booth made reservations AND requested a booth.

We're happy you enjoyed your meal and service at Bravo Italian Kitchen. Come dine with us again soon.
We arrived for our reservation at the bar but there was no room and we had to sit in the dining area. We always go for Happy Hour. There weren’t any happy hour menus only regular menus. They tried to sell us food from the regular menu and when we refused there was an attitude about asking about the happy hour menu. The other part that sucked was that since our order was not completely cooked my Caesar salad sat under the lights for awhile and when we finally got it - it was soggy.
Excellent service and food. A favorite place to meet friends
Thank you Phyllis. We pride ourselves in providing excellent food & service to our guests and we're happy to see that reflected in your experience with us. We'll see you again soon.
Having been to Brio locations in Northern Virginia on many occasions, we were very familiar with the menu and decor. This one is no different, and we were very happy with the service and food. As the Northern Virginia locations have closed, we will certainly miss them!
Thank you for your continued support. We hope to serve you again soon.
Went to BRIOs for lunch yesterday. A nice young man named Eric took great care of us. He was always there for refills with our be obtrusive.
Food was great. Looked good and was very tasty.
Thank you for sharing such complimentary feedback about Michael. We look forward to serving you again soon!
Waitress was very good until order was placed then she seemed to disappear. Our appetizer arrived with no plates. Waited and finally flagged down another waiter who responded promptly.
Entree arrived by a runner. We literally just finished our appetizer. This is not a fast food place. Courses arriving on top of each other interfere with a relaxed dining experience.
Felt rushed! Again waitress should be watching how courses are handled.
Husbands drink needed refreshing. Again no waitress in sight. Again had to flag down another waiter. Frustrating!!!
We dined on a 2 offer night. 9/20. Mentioned this to waitress on arrival.
We were supposed to get a pasta dish as take home and $15 off of bill.
No discount applied. Had to call the next day and hopefully it will be handled.
We are so sorry to hear that we let you down. We appreciate that you have taken the time to write to us and will use your feedback for improvements in service.
22 bucks for a glass of chianti, bungling of the order, screaming child, excruciating wait times, sticky floor under table... slipping into the abyss this usually decent place is... #mail it in...
We are very sorry about your experience. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for bringing these opportunities to improve to our attention. We will undoubtedly pass your feedback to the management team
Quiet and a bit of a slow start to service but acknowledged and all good from there. Lasagna is always great here and we also had calamari and spaghetti bolognese which was all very good and served very hot. Nice dinner overall. Brio is a reliable choice. Miss the incentive to add a salad for a nominal price.
Thank you for choosing to dine with us at Brio Italian Grille. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your meal and hope to serve you again soon.
Great outdoor seating, nice menu.. great drinks. Attention from the server could have been better.. she was definitely off her game. All in all it is a great place to eat.
Thank you for dining with us. We're sorry our service was not up to the usual standards, but we hope to serve you again and do better next time.
Olivia did a great job responding to our needs. She was very attentive and responsive. We love Brio! It was good to be back there this evening!
We are happy to receive such lovely feedback about Olivia. Thank you for dining with us. We hope you visit us again soon.
Came to celebrate my birthday on 9/9 and was very disappointed. When I made the reservation, I specifically asked if they had their liquor license, because apparently with the changing of owners they weren’t offering alcoholic beverages for a period of time. So I told the manager, whom identified himself as such, that we were coming for happy hour and wanted to sit outside. He promised to note that, yet when we get there we are told that they weren’t doing happy hours until the following week. When I spoke to the manager, who was working that night, he said it was impossible that anyone told me they would be having happy hour. He refused to honor anything nor did he even try a little bit to make up for the miscommunication, definitely on their part mind you. It wasn’t about just the drink specials but we loved the appetizer specials they offered before as well. His entire blank stare and condescending tone was very disturbing! Brio USED to be one of my favorites but because of this experience and the attitude of this manager, I will not be returning!!
This is very disappointed to hear this and we'd like to get in touch with you.
The waiter was great. His spirit and customer service was awesome.
Thank you! We hope to serve you again soon.
Food was great as always.
Thank you for choosing to dine with us at Brio Italian Grille. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your meal and hope to serve you again soon.
We were still working on our appetizer when our main course came out. This is a huge pet peeve of ours. My wife and I have worked in restaurants and unless someone specifically says they’re in a hurry, we assume they desire a relaxing experience. The restaurant wasn’t busy so it’s not like they needed our table. Brio should educate their wait staff to time delivery of the food better. A 5 or 10 minute pause between courses is perfect. It was just awkward because we had to rearrange our plates while still working on the app. The food was amazing as usual but this error by the waiter took away from our experience and our tip reflected it.
We appreciate your feedback and thank you for bringing these opportunities for improvement to our attention. We will undoubtedly pass your feedback to the management team

Everything was good, from the food to the service!
Thank you! We appreciate you dining with us and sharing your experience. Come back soon.
Great spot for lunch with a nice deal too.
Thank you! We hope to serve you again soon.
We were seated immediately and scanned paperwork at the table to view the menu. We chose to sit outside and the weather was cooperative.
Our server was friendly and efficient. She was on top of everything we needed. There was no need to ask for anything. She was there before we even noticed we needed refills.
Dinner was really good.
We are happy to receive such lovely feedback about our Newark Team. Thank you for dining with us and we hope you visit us again soon.
This was our second visit since indoor dining was reopened. Also our first visit since the change of ownership. Menu has been reduced, and during our visit the bar was not open (crossed signals between new owners and local government). Started our meals with chopped salads - greens were fresh and crisp, and the red wine vinaigrette was very tasty. Entrees we enjoyed were Spaghetti Pomodoro and Pasta Brio. Both tasted very fresh and were delicious. Our waiter, David, did a great job, especially pacing our meal. He didn’t put in our dinner orders until he had served our salads. Brio has been known to bring all food too quickly, and I’ve been critical of them before in this forum. The restaurant was as crowded as it could be given the current restrictions, and based on the food and service I’m not surprised. We will be back!
Thank you for that glowing review. We pride ourselves in providing excellent food & service to our guests and we're happy to see that reflected in your experience with us. We'll see you again soon.
Went there to celebrate a late anniversary thanks to covid. The staff at Brio was amazing and they give the best treatment that can possibly give when they serve you. We’ve been going to Brio Newark every year for our anniversary for 10 years and will be going back for years to come!
Thanks for the rave review and for choosing Brio to celebrate such a special occasion! We appreciate you sharing your experience with us and hope you visit us again soon!
Truly value customer experience. Fresh ingredients and excellent service as always. Spaghetti Bolegnese is the best!
We love to hear how much you enjoy dining with us at Brio Italian Grille. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
Took my daughter and husband here for her birthday celebration. Brio is one of our favorite places to dine. Always have a wonderful experience and the food is excellent. We all enjoyed our meal.
We appreciate you celebrating your special occasion with us and hope to see you again soon.
Great food, great service the waiter that we had was outstanding. The best cooked lamb chops ever
Didn't stay for the meal as they were "unable" to serve alcohol for some reason. One of our favorite places, but not sure we'll be back.
We started with the Lobster Ravioli (which is now my new favorite). It was VERY tasty and had big chunks of Lobster inside. Will definitely be returning! This restaurant offers outdoor seating, which was spaced accordingly to accommodate COVID-19.
Great food. Quick service. My husband and I do a lot of date nights there.
Nice atmosphere, very friendly staff. Food taste was mediocre at best, it was not hot when served either. The last time I went the food was much better.
The pasta here is so so and not worth the price. Steaks and chops are better.
