Came here for lunch in the middle of doing some shopping during Christmas week. Was surprisingly quiet and as a result was seated very quickly.
Service was a bit slow to start, might have been associated with us sitting on the patio. Once service started, it was good. Food was what you can come to expect at Brio, delicious! The real star of the show is the calamari. Fried lightly and was perfectly cooked.
I had the Pasta Brio - a creamy rigatoni dish with chicken. It was sooo delicious!! They had a pretty decent menu of seafood dishes on there as well. I also had the Berry Lemonade with the sugar rim. Very sweet but I love sweet drinks. For dessert I had a few bites of someone else's Lava cake. The cake was soft and warm, and it came with gelato ice cream on top with some raspberries on the side. Definitely a delight!!Waiters were great, tables were nice, the whole experience was really pleasing. I would recommend to anyone and can't wait to go back.
Nice Italian Eatery. Ate here with esposa and our two daughters. It was a beautiful Scottsdale afternoon, so we sat outside. Our server was top-notch from start to finish: witty, personable, and knowledgeable. Ambiance is nice and comfortable. Menu offers a nice array of Italian offerings. Everything was very nicely presented, fresh, hot, and flavorful. Wine list is a bit limited, but has excellent choices. OVERALL: VERY GOOD. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Pure Quality. When it comes to dining, Brio offers the best quality of food, service and ambiance in Scottsdale...and it's affordable. I dine here multiple times a year and have never had a bad experience. They offer a massive variety of options off the menu that are all under $15. On our most recent visit, we had the Margarita Flatbread ($13.15), Caesar Salad with added grilled chicken ($8.24), Bruschetta ($14.95), Pasta Brio ($14.35) and a kids salmon ($6.95). Everything was cooked to perfection and we each had enough food leftover to take home after a very filling meal.
If you get the chance, head there during happy hour as they have a wide selection of appetizers offered at discounted prices and you still get a huge portion.
Great atmosphere, great service, and great food! Accommodated our very large group to celebrate a graduation. Staff was so nice, and server took pics of our group for us and was friendly. Beautiful decor. We sampled many appetizers, and the flat bread pizza was so good. My pasta pesto entree with chicken, spinach, and roasted tomatoes was delicious!
Great Experience. Went for lunch - food and service were spectacular. The deserts are especially good and topped off a wonderful meal. One of the best Italian spots in Scottsdale!

Enjoyable Evening. Three of us went for dinner Thursday evening. I agree that it is an Americanized version of Italian but that isn't always bad if done well and we all enjoyed our meal so it was successful from that perspective. Service was very good. The waitress was soft spoken but very pleasant and helpful in ordering.
We started with an Appetizer of Bruschetta Quattro which was excellent. Flavor combinations were really good.
I didn't think much of the presentation of my friends entree's but they both said they thought it was good. I had the Beef Medallions with grilled Shrimp. I ordered medium rare but the beef was a solid medium. However, full of flavor and tender as could be. The shrimp were pretty small and I was expecting them to be overcooked but was pleasantly surprised they were cooked well and very tasty. As was the Orzo with Vegetables.
I had the Creme Brûlée for dessert. It's presented with a 1/2 a strawberry on top. I had requested it without the strawberry. They just popped it off (the hardened sugar was missing when they presented it) indicating these were just pulled from the cooler on order. The bowl and pudding were both cold to the touch as well. The pudding was also firmer than it should have been but was tasty.
The food was good. Not 4 start but solid. The atmosphere was pleasant and service very good. Overall we all had a very nice evening and the meal (despite its flaws) was a success.
This large, noisy restaurant offers a fairly standard menu of Americanized northern Italian fare. The food is good--not great, but the portions are reasonable (not gargantuan). The service was a bit uneven. A waiter brought us some bread, then whisked it away to another table without comment. Our waiter, who was pleasant, apologized and then brought another basket after several minutes' wait. The coffee came about ten minutes before the rest of dessert. Getting the check, handing in my credit card, and getting it back was also slow. If you want a basic meal and aren't in too great a hurry, this is a good choice for dinner.
Delicious. This was our first time at the Scottsdale location. We have been once to Gilbert . Both experiences were great.
Friendly and helpful wait staff.
The food was great! The meat was tender and full of flavor. The vegetables were prepared perfectly. Lasagna was great. Good portions. Prices are on the high side but after your first bite- who cares.
We finished with the dessert sampler with bread pudding, creme brûlée and cheesecake. All were sooo good.
1st time here. The place is really nice inside.
You can also get a private room to host birthdays and other events here. Also they take reservations.
They give u complementary bread and butter. Also complementary birthday ice cream.
I got the chicken milanese. It was delicious! They had some time of white sauce and it was good with angel pasta. They also had a red sauce and it was delicious. Definitely would get this dish again.
We also got the chocolate cake and it was delicious. It was like a hot cake with ice cream on top. So good but small.
My friends got other dishes like the pesto pasta, and she was still hungry. Not a lot of food on the big plates but the chicken milanese was a good portion.
They also have a patio outside.
For parking there’s either valet or a parking garage.
Food was delicious. Our server Wes was friendly and helpful. A really good Happy hour. And they just rolled out a new menu, like 3 days ago😛👍
We got married 2 days ago and went here for part of our honeymoon. Drew took amazing care of us and gave us a special dessert as a congratulations! He seriously was one of the best servers we have ever had! It was a fantastic experience with amazing food. We will definitely be back!
Very ambient place and good food. Portions are generous and nicely presented. I had the lasagne.
My favorite italian restaurant. Food is great, open atmosphere, friendly staff.
Incredible food and the atmosphere is great.
Nice. Very nice. I didn't feel like an outsider. Services were top and the meal. Wonderful experience. I'll be going again and I'll recommend it to my friends
Very nice place for an outdoor lunch. Ingredients we're fresh, well prepared and very tastefully presented.
Great food and service. Layout is nice, you don't feel cramped at all - and they have lots of areas for big groups. Well maintained bathrooms and the staff is super courteous when you're walking by - always stepping aside and saying hello. Valet is fast and convenient, because there isn't many spaces in the garage across the way. Definitely going again!
Had a team in for a workshop last week. This was their favorite dinner. Sat in the bar at a high top for six! Great food, the best service (outstanding!!), and great environment! Would strongly recommend Brio to locals and visitors alike! Happy hour bar menu is vast in selections and incredibly reasonable! Great experience overall!
