Food is delicious. Service is fabulous. The chicken is out of this world and very fresh. The pasta is the best pasta I've ever had. The pizza can't be beat. The drinks are made perfectly and are top notch.

The cheese on the arugula salad was so good and the service was amazing. They treated us so well and it was a family type atmosphere. Great Italian food. Got a pizza to go because the dinner was so good had to try the pizza later.

If you are gluten free and order through GrubHub beware. I ordered a GF pizza and it was delivered. I checked my receipt and my pizza was labeled gluten free. I ate 2 slices and I noticed that the crust was different—more chewy than normal. Uh-oh, right? I called the restaurant and the manager told me that the pizza was not gluten free and that they were out of the gluten free crust for 2 weeks. OH NO! I cannot eat gluten for medical reasons. They really didn’t care. Sure, I didn’t get charged but I got screwed over because (1) I will get sick, and (2) my family is eating pizza while I cannot. I am frustrated because I checked the receipt to be SURE. I feel like I just got punked. Not cool!Now this usually doesn’t happen at this place and their GF pizza is really good. It just a warning to be really careful because they are not necessarily looking out for you.

This place is special. I came here with my wife on a busy Saturday night. Couldn't have been more impressed with the restaurant. They had live music which set the mood. I had the spaghetti with giant meatball and my wife had a pizza with ham and cheese. I'd give it a ten out of ten. The food is absolutely fantastic, but I recommend saving room for the desserts. We had a bottle of the Pinot Grigio that was a perfect pairing for the pasta. The butter cake was fantastic! Service was attentive. The owner stopped by our table to make sure everything was great. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This will be a regular go-to for us. Highly recommend.

My new favorite dinner spot! The pasta is homemade and the pizza was excellent. The service was fantastic and the Elvis entertainment was a 10/10. Can't wait to go back for the butter cake and tiramisu!

I'd give it one star if it wasn't for the pleasant people that worked there. When we called to order some linguine, we were told that they didn't have linguine noodles... huh? You're an Italian restaurant. That's analogous to calling a Mexican restaurant to place an order then and being told that the tortillas had the day off. Anyway, we went ahead and ordered the seafood arrabiatta. Wow... Chef Boyardee is rolling over in his grave. There was a total of 2 shrimp and a handful of calamari. The spaghetti was way over cooked and the sauce was a negation to culinary quality. Hadn't been there in a while and just remembered why we don't go... the staff is really nice though. Didn't eat much and threw it away.

We went last night to celebrate our engagement and the staff was sooo sweet! They offered us a glass of Prosecco to celebrate and made our evening memorable. Always delicious food!!

We haven't gotten pizza here in ages and not since the new owners took over. We're big fans of thin crust pizza (usually NY style) and have a hard time finding ones we really like. But BRICCO for pizza is now the perfect place. They have both Chicago and NY thin crust pizza. I was previously unaware their Chicago pizza was THIN crust (cut in squares), but took a chance and got it this time and it was perfect. Great thin crust, perfectly cooked, and excellent flavor. It's also fortunate that Bricco is so close to our house! As pizza prices have gotten so expensive, Bricco is also great because they have three sizes whereas some places only have 18" pizzas that are almost $30. We also enjoyed their live music (Saturday night) while we were waiting for our pizza for take away. Next time we'll try some of the other Italian food, it also looked excellent while we were waiting.
We ordered two pizzas for our first time. Not bad but I think we will try the pasta next time. Looks like a fun place to dine in.

We love Briccio! They have live entertainment, the owner goes around to say hi to everyone, they remember their customers and the food is great. We just had their butter cake - the most delicious butter cake I ever had. Definitely a neighborhood gem.

After driving by Bricco for, oh I don't know, maybe seven years or more, we finally stopped in for dinner. Very friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. I chose the Tuscan pasta dish and my husband tried the Blue Collar pizza, Chicago style (cut in squares). We both looked at each other after the first bites: "where or where have you been all my life" and " why oh why didn't we come sooner!" OMG, that pasta and all those pieces of goodness in THAT SAUCE! Yep, could eat it daily and not get tired of it! My husband's pizza was outstanding, too...thin but light, flexible crust, not-too-spicy meats just melted in his mouth...ok, he forced me to take a square ($20.00 small pizza is a LOT of pizza!). Ok, we've been back twice and have ordered takeout too. Our new go-to Italian restaurant, forever and ever. Can you spell Y U M?!

Delicious, authentic, quality Italian food. It's one of my favorite and few repeat restaurants in Laguna Niguel. Their daily happy hour is a nice touch and allows you to sample multiple items on their menu. Delicious items that I would order consistently - caesar salad, calamari, seafood linguine, and chicken parmesan. Also good was the spaghetti and meatballs with giant meatballs. The giant mozzarella stick block wasn't our favorite and we would've preferred crispy sticks that we could dip in marinara sauce instead of a giant block of cheese sitting in wet sauce that had to be cut with a fork and knife to eat. Overall a great little authentic, quality Italian restaurant that I'm happy to come back to.

My only complaint was the noise level. The singer was quite good, but we couldn't hear ourselves talk and the noise level led to quite a few mistakes in our order, so our food came out at all different times. We were celebrating an engagement which I let the staff know, and it was never mentioned by anyone including the singer, who we told but even she couldn't hear anything we said despite asking for requests. It was a little crazy. Food was great, mistakes were handled, server was very sweet, but overall it wasn't a great experience.
