I've never been here before, and we left after looking at the menu. I didn't realize till after we sat down that it's a chain Italian restaurant, like Olive Garden. I can not say if the food or service is good. I don't frequent chain Italian restaurants. No disrespect to people who do. It's just not my thing. I don't want to give a low start rating so I'll give them a 4 based of the decor and how fast we were seated. read more

This place was the perfect place to eat while our car charged at the Rivian charges across the parking lot. Food was great. The service was so kind and they had outside seating - which allows dogs! Our sever even brought our pup a bowl and water. They split a salad and entree for my husband and me. Kids meals were plenty big. Pricey meal but nice place to chill for an hour. read more

Typically my experience is good. However this time the service was terrible. I wait for 20 minutes and not a single person address me and my family. Several waiters and waitress walked my me repeatedly and not one of them recognize me to asked if I were being helped. Long story short I spoke with the manager and let hr know my frustration and we left the restaurant. read more

I stopped in and was happy to find I made it in time for happy hour. I ordered the calamari and white peach sangria from the happy hour menu. The calamari didn't have a lot of flavor but the sauces that are served with it added flavor. The white peach sangria was a nice light drink. I ordered the brio pasta and a side chopped salad for my entree. The vegetables in the salad were crisp and tasty. The pasta had no flavor. I had to add a ton of salt and pepper. The service was great! read more

Looking for 12 pieces of pasta for $24. Then Brio is the place for you! Look, last time we were in house, things were good. But this time we got take out and it was not good at all. The pasta ala vodka had a literal 10-12 pieces of pasta, they were overdone and it didn't even have any sauce with it. We called to complain and the manager on duty, Miranda, said she was aware and it was the biggest complaint they've gotten over the holiday season and that there was nothing she could do. When we said we wouldn't be back she retorted with "it's a corporate problem." Bad customer service, zero empathy, zero accountability. Goodbye Brio. read more

Great service which is so hard to find. Also tasty food and atmosphere. After shopping and a movie, it was a great way to cap the day. read more

I'm afraid that Brio's best days may be behind them. They were very friendly and the server Miguel was the best. The Risotto was delicious but I would describe the rest of the food as meh. I did order the risotto and the first order was cooked to pMy family and I were like the only ones in there at 8:30 on a Friday night. While I get that is late for some but it's still a Friday night! Anyways I'm pulling for them but it's not looking good. read more

Ambiance/Drinks/dessert were good, as was one of our entrees. (Medallions) The $54 fillet ordered med-rare was well done. Sent back and 20 min later came out with cold broccolini and steak itself was not great either. I know better than to get a steak at a non steakhouse, but at that price point, I was hoping for more. Management adjusted things to make "right", but experience just wasn't good. read more

The service was absolutely impeccable. Our server was very funny and loquacious. The food, however, left a lot to be desired. My salad was alright, but expensive. And the rest of my companions weren't very happy with their dishes. The ambiance is cheesecake factory vibes. All in all the service is what really made the experience have any stars. read more

Great service! I sat in the bar and Agnes was so knowledgeable about the wines and helped me pick the perfect glass of cab! Will definitely be going back for her service alone. read more

We came for a 30th birthday celebration looking for good Italian food and atmosphere to enjoy and celebrate. From the appetizers to the desserts, we had such a great experience and definitely got what we came for. I would highly recommend their version of Pasta Alla Vodka. They make a stuffed rigatoni filled with ricotta and their vodka sauce has a little kick giving it this extra wow factor. Several of us ordered it and loved it, so if you want a unique twist on a what is usually a pretty regular dish, try it at Brio! read more

Not exactly the friendliest staff (bartender) and the place actually did not look very clean. I ordered a Cabernet and the glass was filthy, when I asked the Bartender for some napkins to clean the glass she was not very happy at all and threw the napkins on the bar top. The food was at best "so so" On a positive note the salad was actually not bad at all, chopped up very nicely with a vinaigrette. I'm a big boy, but just in case anybody else may be interested in going to this place, beware. Also on a positive note the rest of the staff was extremely friendly and courteous! read more

Our party of 10 had dinner at this restaurant this evening. The online reviews and photos seemed positive. Unfortunately, our we had one of the worst restaurant experiences in recent memory. First off, the restaurant designs and decore has the potential to be nice. However, the lights are way too bright and it's far too loud to offer any impression of a nice dining experience. I would say it was more akin to a dinner at Disney buffet than even a chain Italian restaurant like Olive Garden. Our server was beyond slow. While I can appreciate that many restaurants are understaffed, our waiter displayed a combination of incompetence, laziness and lack of caring that is hard to replicate. Our meal took 2.5 hours to be delivered. Getting water took 30+ minutes. Wine bottles were incorrect. Meals were cold when delivered and also prepared incorrectly. The manager was semi apologetic and offered a modest discount. Frankly, the person who seemed most empathetic to our experience was another server who we spoke to on the way out. She was very apologetic and did her best to encourage us to give the restaurant another chance. If I was the owner of this restaurant, I'd park myself in this location for a few weeks and probably replace half the staff. read more

I love Brio. Not gonna lie I always order the same lobster and shrimp pasta, but why change it if its delicious. They offer a variety of different dishes that are also great. The bread they serve is always crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. This is really a great chain restaurant to fulfill your pasta craving. read more

Food was below average. The flatbread margherita was just terrible. The bread was 2mm thin. Ambience was ok although you could see black mold on the ceiling. Service was very slow. Overall not a place that can be recommended. read more

Really enjoyed Brio's at Christiana Mall! Nice spacious ambiance and very clean!! Also liked that it was not as noisy as many restaurants are these days. Jeremiah, our server, was excellent and extremely attentive to our requests!! We all enjoyed our meals - freshly prepared chicken, pasta dishes and salads! We will be back!! read more

Skip the wedge salad. I love a wedge salad, but this was one of the saddest ones I've seen. 1/8 head of iceberg lettuce...I took a bite of bacon and realized I had just eaten all of the bacon. All for $8. However, the salmon pasta was delicious, and I ate the entire thing in one sitting, and I'm not sorry at all! read more

Food was tasty. The service was good and the ambiance was ok; a little crowded. It is a nice Italian restaurant; nothing really special but my date!!! We could've used olive oil to dip our bread in, but I guess the butter was suffice. The sausage and pepperoni flatbread was a win! The pasta brio was good. Although the grilled salmon salad appeared to have a lot going on, it was good. I would recommend this restaurant. It was a nice outing. read more

At the Christiana Mall and after a couple hours of shopping dropped in for lunch around 1:00. Seated right away; not busy. After 15 minutes without any interaction, no water, no drinks, we left. Terrible service, clueless staff. read more

If I could give them Zero stars I would !! My online order for pickup consisted of a spinach artichoke dip, a pasta ala vodka and a Gorgonzola cream Campanele. When I got home and opened the order up, the pasta ala vodka didn't even cover 1/2 of the bottom of the take out container. The Gorgonzola cream Campanele was a full container as one would expect. I anticipated returning to the restaurant and picking up a full order, however when I called and spoke to Miranda, the on duty supervisor, I was told that they were well aware of the portion size we received and it was in fact correct. There were 12 pasta shells with no sauce for $22 bucks. She continued to tell me that it was actually one of the biggest complaints this holiday season ‍ She then apologetically said I know it's frustrating but at the end of the day that's a corporate issue and I'm just the store supervisor. Well at the end of the day, I will never go back and I will make sure to warn people to stay away at every opportunity I get. Shame on you Brio. Also, as a note of interest, the dine-in portion is the same price and is the full plate you would expect for the price!! Bye bye Brio read more

We had an excellent experienc! Our server Erin was fantastic- very pleasant, friendly and made sure we were well taken care of! The food was very good and well prepared. We will definitely be returnin! read more

I'm used to dine at Brio's in Fair Oaks Mall in Fairfax VA and it's way better than this location! It was empty around 3 pm when I stopped for lunch on my way to NJ with a client and from here started the horrible experience!! A waiter who is very unprofessional and know nothing about customer service!! Took a long time to come take our order , long time to bring the food, long time to bring the check!! When my client asked for a melted butter on her food he said we don't have melted butter! She asked him , could you heat a piece of butter, melt it and bring it?? He said yes and then we heard his rude comments about it with the chef at the open kitchen counter! Same thing when my salad tasted so bad and first I thought it's that type of salad and I asked him to change it to a different salad that I know how it should taste very well (ceaser salad) , I also heard his rude comments with the kitchen about it!! Apparently the lettuce in the salad is not fresh at all!!! Disgusting and could be a Health issue!!! The food was tasteless and very small portion on my spaghetti!! NOTHING WAS GOOD TO MENTION!!! AVOID IT COMPLETELY AND GO TO CHEESECAKE FACTORY AT THE SAME MALL!!! read more

Who wouldn't enjoy a happy hour that begins at 9pm when you've worked past the regular 7pm cut off? Not all bars do this especially in the Christiana Mall vicinity but Brio does. A friend and I met for drinks after a closing shift on a Friday night and I was pleasantly surprised by the huge bar area, dimly lit ambiance and the hh specials. The blackberry martini was definitely good but I have to say the spicy shrimp appetizer was phenomenal just as Crystal E said. The bartenders are friendly too. Definitely a good first date spot. read more

Sub par food and service, we visited right after work during happy hour but didn't know it was happy hour until we were seated in a booth on the floor. The service was alright, servers forgetting orders and taking longer to prepare a appetizer then serve two drinks. We realized it was happy hour and moved to the bar, the same menu but half off appetizers along with drinks. The food was ordinary to any other chain "elegant restaurant". I would only go back for happy hour specials others wise don't see the price making sense for the quality of food and service. Recommendations- ask if happy hour is still available (I believe until 630pm), the carpaccio was amazing, ask for parmesan. read more

The Route 95 corridor through Newark, Delaware is not exactly the hot bed of fine dining. So, we opted for Brio Tuscan Grille, one of the many restaurants located at the Christiana Mall conveniently accessed right off of Exit 5. Well, I must say, for a chain restaurant I was pleasantly surprised. There were 5 of us and not one person left a morsel uneaten on their plates. The food was that good!! We all went with various seafood entrees (Grilled Salmon Fresca, Shrimp Mediterranean, and the Pesce Piccata). The service was friendly and efficient and the interior design was clean and modern, keeping with the corporate look and feel of Brio's around the country. read more

I love this place. I've met gal pals here and I love when my husband and I are around during their happy hour! We were lucky enough one day to be seated outside with a lovely breeze and I wanted to order everything but settle for splitting with the hubs: calamari, sausage & ricotta flatbread, the carpaccio and some drinks. Our food was great, I love the two sauces you get with the calamari and that they fry peppers with it. YUMMMMMM. My white sangria was a bit lite but very refreshing and the hubs had a few blue moons. We both really enjoyed the carpaccio, but I think you must eat it quickly or else pieces of the thin meat start to dry onto the plate. Presentation of the carpaccio was on point in their long white dish. I believe during weekdays you can even get a lunch half salad/soup and past or flatbread. Food: we love the food here everything we have ordered has been delicious, minus the lite drink 4/5 Atmosphere: I have dined inside with my gal pals before and it is big and spacious, not too overcrowded, this def could be a romantic place if taking someone out for a dinner date but I assume it gets quite busy and loud on weekends/evenings. We really enjoy (when avail/able) dining al fresco. 5/5 Price: Everything was about average price, but I must say stop by during happy hour for a bite and a drink and save some $. Just make sure you let them know you are ordering happy hour food/drink or else you might get charged full like we almost did. 5/5 Service: Service was great, from the hostess' hello to our server's goodbye it was fast and friendly, as mentioned earlier we almost got charged full price for happy hour items so make sure your server knows, ours was great she got it fixed for us and we very much appreciated it Overall, this is a bit out the way for me since we live more north but we def will be repeat patrons. Happy this place exists!! read more

Great food! All the dishes were wonderful! Lamb chops appetizer 15 dollars, three lamb chops juicy and topped with parmesan cheese and even comes with wonderfully cooked spinach salmon entree was a real eye opener perfect for a low carb person since it comes with a medley of vegetables asparagus sweet potatoes and red peppers, beautiful presentation, comes with a balsamic dressing and ? pesto dressing which I asked to be put on the side chicken beautiful 3 perfectly cooked nice juicy pieces paired with potatoes and rapini Oh and the tiramisu was amazing must try at around 8.99 Only thing I might mention is that while they social distance to some degree , not all the servers wear masks, I understand with vaccination maybe there is no need to but until we are truly over this pandemic and since we are still grappling with the delta variant, why take a chance . I went to cheesecake factory at the same mall and I believe most of not all servers had masks. Love the food but a bit concerned about the mask issue. Oh and the ambience is beautiful, high ceilings and very spacious! read more

this review is based off take out services. ordered online for lunch, it took about 20 mins for the food: lobster bisque, shrimp and eggplant and the lunch chicken mezza. they package the food well and staple the bag shut which I love. the food itself was amazing, my only take away would be to add more sauce to the chicken mezza which is a dish that resembles chicken parm. but the serving sizes are plentiful even for it being a lunch special. they even provide crunchy Italian bread and butter for your take out meal which is often times the best part of dining in. keep doing what you do, brio ! read more

We had a great dinner! Excellent assortment of pastas and risotto. Great for larger parties. Super attentive staff.

Good food, better service. Erin (waitress) was incredible. Lobster & Shrimp fettuccine was awesome.
