My brother and sisterinlaw brought us here for a nice afternoon lunch (1:30 pm) for our wedding. Service was excelent and forrd wonderful. We had a nice bottle of wine. Soup, salads, cheese platter , pasta , pulled pork sandwich all was delicious. No rush and attentive service when WE needed it, server was good to respect when we were talking and their when we needed her.
Well the food was spectacular, as usual. Bruschetta was fresh. The fried perch was hot and crunchy and came with their yummy frites and side house salad that had a dressing to die for, I dipped everything into it.
But...dinner took 2 and a half hours! It took almost 20 minutes for the waiter to even acknowledge our existence (and we had a reservation). There seemed to be about 20 minutes between everything served and we were famished by the time dinner actually came. When we ordered coffee with our desserts, they came without spoons and one of my party actually had to get up and retrieve utensils from the supply table behind us.
Then again, another 20 minutes went by after dessert till I finally just went up to the till to pay where our waiter seemed surprised we wanted our bills! My fiance and I had the same waiter on Valentines Day and the service was the same. Understandable if they were short staffed or busy...but they were neither. The only thing that keeps me going back is the food. Find a new waiter!!!!
Have eaten here a few times and it's always reliable. The pizzas are hearty with good toppings. The salads are good (although the Caesar disappoints). Pasta dishes have been well done. Sandwiches are excellent. Superb wine list and really excellent coffee. Reasonably priced. The service is always spot on.
This is one of my favourite restaurants in Ptbo. In the last three years of regular visits, I have never been disappointed.
-Service is attentive, but not intrustive or rushed.
-Food shows attention to detail and care. The dipping sauce for the fries are awesome, and the vegetables could be a meal themselves.
-Lots of vegetarian offerings, but great meat/seafood dishes too.
-Ever changing and interesting specials.
The menu changed recently, with some new additions, but please bring back the calimari.
Stopped in to Brio's, it had been a while since we had been in. It was the middle of the week and the place was not busy. However, the food was excellent, the staff was very attentive, without hovering over us. We felt we got good value for what we paid. Will certainly go again.
