Brio Tuscany Grill

Horrible service - worst food ever. I had to ask after almost 25 minutes where our salads were. They forgot about them as they were sitting in the kitchen waiting to be picked up. They tasted like they were out of a bag. The dressing was even worse. Tasted like it was straight out of a bottle. $12 bucks for these monstrosities. Then we were told that they had just put the pizza in the oven. I had to ask for water refills several times. The server left dirty plates on the table after the salad and never asked us if we would like fresh ones. $18 for a pizza that tasted like chef boyardee out of a box. What a waste of my hard earned money. I won't be back. Good grief. Check on your customers often and for the love of God don't charge for a lousy piece of bread if someone asks for bread! Offer that for free. Be dilligent and aware of your customers!!

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.

We visited for a wedding reversal dinner. Brio is not to be confused with the chain. The food is fresh, very tasty, generous portions. The environment vibes of an Italian bistro cafe, with live music to boot! Absolutely fabulous.
