Brio Tuscan Grille - Troy

My best friend and I always come here for our reunion dinner. There's nothing here that's anything less than absolutely delicious. Their pasta is incredible, they serve you a bread basket when you first sit down, their desserts are all so delectable I can't say enough good things about this place. If you're in the area (or if you're not), make sure you stop in for lunch or dinner!

My wife loves anything Italian as she is from Italy lol, me, I always go for the filet mignon, which they always cook to perfection every time!

Good tasting food. Large plate of olives, great! You can make a better Caesar salad at home, it doesn't meet the quality of the rest of the food

Fantastic place, I was pleasantly surprised. I always tend to steer clear of the mall restaurants no matter the mall, no matter the restaurant. However, when I am with the group, I tend to try the places I, normally, would not. It was a great experience. We, the 18 of us, were sat down as we arrived at 2 large tables, clothed in fine table sheets, and in the center of a glamorous setting. Being the foodie I am, I barely was impressed by the show. After, the server delivered my Pepsi with grenadine, I ordered off the Gluten Free menu. I had the Pasta Brio served with rice made pasta and the sauce was perfect. I had no idea what I was eating was anything but great. As a person with an intolerance to gluten, I was never more pleased to eat off the short list. I asked for fresh parmesan cheeses and was happily served. We enjoyed 2 and half hours and were able to hear each other. We didn't do desserts; the servings were a great portion and the per service cost w/o alcohol and with tip the total was $23 with a $5 tip.

Overall great experience. The meatballs were very different from what I have had in the past, being nestled in roasted peppers and stuffed with mozzarella. I ansolutely enjoyed the Barbara D'Asti by Michele Chiarlo and by far one of the best wines I have had. I paired it with my rigatoni bolognese which, while nice, could have used just a slightly bigger portion of the pasta. I found myself just scooping up the extra meat sauce and finishing it on its own. It was still quite enjoyable. At first the bills were confusing due to the large party that I was a part of but mine was promptly separated correctly. I am quite pleased and would return! Happy New Year!
