First time going to this restaurant, the food quality was superb, generous portion sizes, and an array of items to choose from the al la carte menu.

BRIO ITALIAN GRILLE INTERNATIONAL PLAZA REVIEWS

Let me just say…this dinner was amazing! Certainly worth the few minutes wait!!! The lasagna and gnocchi were hot, delicious and filling! The limoncello lemonade was perfectly crafted! Staff went out of their way to ensure the meal exceeded our expectations!! Highly recommend this restaurant! As an Italian restaurant server in Memphis, I can say this was one of the best Italian restaurants I have had the pleasure to dine in.

We had our daughter‘s bridal shower at Brio today! Glenda, Manny and Ana were absolutely amazing! They took such great care of us and the space was perfect. The food was delicious and fresh and they kept the mimosas flowing. Thanks for making our event so special.

Jonny is our waiter. Friendly and attentive. He makes our dining experience so much fun. My friend enjoyed her Peach Bellini very much and we appetizing our way through brunch with the must have beef carpaccio & Gorgonzola lamb chops. Chef’s kiss!!! We’ve dined at Brio few times before and definitely be back for sure.

DONATELLO ITALIAN RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Old school hospitality at its finest! Although my first time there I was greeted like a long lost friend! Thank you Tatiana. Kaley at the bar and waiter Gomez only added to the entire experience. The Calamari Amalfitana just might become my new go to meal! Thank you.

Old world Italian restaurant serving Tampa for over 40 years. Great food. Excellent professional service. Relaxed upscale ambiance.

Everything was amazing and VERY HAPPY that we visited. If you are in the area make reservations and do not miss this piece of history.
