Brio Tuscany Grill

No manners, no patience, no friendliness

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.

If you're looking for a tasty Italian meal in Dana Point, Brio Tuscany Grill is the place to go. Their salmon and pizza are both amazing. The salmon is cooked perfectly and the pizza has a thin, crispy crust. The atmosphere is also very inviting. I highly recommend Brio Tuscany Grill!

Didn't really care for the food...I've eaten Italian all over frome here to new york...this place to me doesn't cut it as a traditional Italian food..

We were a party of 10, to start the garlic bread and the baguette. We all had different dishes, Arena Eggplant Parmesan, Pasta Bolognese, Mushroom & Artichoke Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza, Tortellini in a vodka sauce… well, everything was good and almost everyone was able to finish the large portions. We celebrated 2 birthdays and they were very accommodating with bringing our own cakes. This is my second time and aI hope we get Claudio to be our waiter again. He was excellent! We had a bottle of wine and each had a drink.

New York Strip tasted like it was made in a microwave - it was overcooked and not quality for $50. Can make one better at home on a skillet. Disappointing.

Spent Thanksgiving there. The food was delicious. Service was exceptional.

This is the best place to eat wherever it’s a romantic dinner or happy hour! Delicious 😋 Our server was Claudio!

4 of us, each with different meal, all delicious. Never disappointed here. Very social restaurant and bar, like your favorite neighbor gathering spot.

Claudio was awesome! Soo cheerful and brought bright smile and vibes to the table.

We had a really good time there with his service :)

Claudio was outstanding! Had a great time! You should try the Pork Chop in case you love apple flavouring. Garlic bread with mozzarella cheese is a must try.

MUST VISIT!!

Food was good. Service was horrible!

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.
