Enjoyed a wonderful meal here with my daughter for Mother's day last year. I thought my entree was excellent. I had the chicken parm and my daughter had the spaghetti with the bolognese. She was not as impressed. She is a food and beverage director and not as easily impressed. We enjoyed the wine and the Bruschetta. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.The desert didn't seem to be homemade, but frozen boxed dessert. read more

Food, service and ambiance all work together for an enjoyable dining experience. Gustavo was our gracious host and made sure we had everything we needed. I was happy with the Chicken Piccata I ordered, flavorful and well-presented! Thank you for an excellent dining experience! read more

Well I wanted to give the place 4 stars -it was not bad --not great --not "ok" -just I guess a nice in the mall area to try. The pasta with garlic sauce was the best followed by the salad although it was very cold not just chilled--the chicken parm was actually just a little bit too dry --which prevented the four stars. The service was friendly but a bit weird -never was given water -or extras napkins --but did get a free Diet Coke . I'd come again read more

Food was good service was horrible. Drink refills were not done. We asked for kids cups those never came out. I personally had to go get straws so myself so the kids could drink out of the glasses. We had to ask for our check. We were never asked if we wanted dessert. I won't be going back. read more

Cozy, delicious, & great service! On first glance osteria is charming with plenty of inside and outdoor seating. It also has plenty of parking out front. The menu have a variety of pasta and pizza options along with wine, dessert and appetizers. Our food came out quick and fresh and we even get house bread with it. Overall a solid Italian place to try out. read more

Osteria Bricco - penne primavera - Italian Near Me - Seminole, Florida

Just had dinner at Bricco and I have to say the food was great. Eaten at many fine Italian restaurants and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. Arugula salad was delicious, packed with pancetta, almonds and Parm shavings. Had the seafood pasta for two. Light red sauce, very flavorful, decent amount of seafood and plenty of pasta for three or four. But the two of us managed to scarf it down and sop up every bit of sauce. Also shout out to our waiter, Samuel, great service. Not a cheap meal, but worth the price. read more

Very good food. The drinks took a bit of time to come out but the food was on point in timing. Food wise, the flavor is good though some dishes tend to be a bit on the salty side. I wanted to add more Parmesan but hesitated because the flavor was good and if I added more cheese it would tip the scale on saltiness. Our waitress did a great job for a party of 20. I would give a 5 star if the taste can be a bit, just a tad bit less salty. read more

This was my second (and last) time eating here. Completely overrated, overpriced, and honestly insulting to Italian cuisine. The Caesar salad was watery, limp, and soggy, with wilted lettuce and stale-tasting croutons. Absolutely no freshness. The pepperoni pizza was awfulchewy crust, bland sauce, greasy cheese that tasted more like processed American slices than anything Italian. Nothing authentic about it. Even the so-called bread and oil appetizer had no flavor. Just oil with flakes tossed in. They market themselves as an Italian restaurant, yet serve food that doesn't even come close to authentic Italian standards. To make it worse, the walls are decorated with Paris picturesnot Italy! It's laughable, confusing, and almost disrespectful to Italians to pass this place off as "Italian dining." For nearly $30 before tip, this was a complete waste of money. Everything about this place screams fake and pretentious. If you're looking for real Italian food, look elsewhere.! Oh look they have 29 food violations read more

We went for Mother's Day and unfortunately their AC was out. They had huge portable AC fans but it was still warm at 8pm. With that said, our server was fantastic and very attentive. We ordered the Vodka fettuccine, regular fettuccine, lasagna, and the huge seafood pasta dish. All were excellent. They make their own Tapanade for their complementary bread! I went wanting their Pappadele Bolognese only to be told they had a new head chef and no longer had it. So be aware if you're looking at photos to see what you want, they don't serve many of the items any more. We would definitely go back. read more

So my Mother and I enjoyed our life by the food. We heard about this Italian restaurant that's probably been open for like a year or so and we really have been wanting to check it out so we did. Dropped easily $100. Was sat and greeted immediately. We ordered waters and a nice moscato wine for our dinner. Our server brought bread for the table and a pairing of olive tapenade which was absolutely delicious. Nice and salty and great ratio between the bread and tapenade. We ordered the bruschetta for our actual starter. The tomatoes needed to be marinated but they seemed fresh, not enough basil and not enough balsamic glaze. Just my opinion. I ordered the pollo frances and I must say it was not nearly enough chicken for the amount I paid. I love thin chicken but this chicken was pounded to the point of being pulverized. I mean, I honestly believe it was so soft and mushy that I could mistake it as ground chicken. It was so beaten that it indeed covered my entire plate. Dont get me wrong the flavor of the lemon sauce that came with it is what made me eat that chicken up. I LOVED the fried basil garnished on top totally made that dish just by the sauce and basil. I ordered the bolognese as my side dish and I was unhappy with my side. I love me a good Bolognese, but this was just so different. I couldn't even begin to describe the type of taste. It was very plain not enough spices not enough seasonings and definitely not enough salt. My mom ordered the chicken Parmesan which she said she absolutely loved. She's not a food critic like me, but I guess I would take her word for it. She loves food just as much as I do. To be honest, we talked a lot of shit about how we were not going to have dessert....go figure two foodies and you're damn sure we decided to order two things of dessert. I ordered the pistachio cake and I ordered the tiramisu for my mom and I to try. The tiramisu is store bought so don't let them try to fool you. I know exactly what food vendor they get it from so I highly recommend NOT to get it. It's not a good brand. It's from sysco and if you want to get tiramisu store bought go to the GFS store in Orlando, Florida, and grab their tiramisu. That pistachio cake was absolutely delicious although they could lose the raspberry sauce that they drizzle on top for garnish, for God sakes man.....just garnish with a raspberry and be done with it. Those designer sauces do not do any justice. I'm assuming the pistachio cake is store-bought as well but I do not want to assume but I definitely wouldn't sleep on it. It's pretty delicious. My total was $112. I believe it was worth going. I don't believe it was worth 112 bucks for my meal. I will definitely be back to try something different because I've heard great things about it and I did enjoy my time there. The company of my Mother was amazing. The food was nice and I have never really spent a lot of money going to eat or doing anything like that while growing up so it was honestly kind of fun to spend that extra money, drinking wine and having a good time. I'll be back. They do have the outside seating and the atmosphere inside was very nice as well . read more

When this restaurant first opened, it was our go to place. We've given it two tries since new owners took over. After our experience tonight, we will never set foot in there again. Service is poor. If you want to place a take out order, there is not a live person to talk to. We ordered online and had to pre-pay. Upon arriving, we found out the order was never placed, we were ignored for over a half hour while waiting. To make matters worse my husband's meal was watery with no flavor. We will spend our hard earned money elsewhere. read more

We eat here at least 3-4 times a month and it is a total treat for our whole family. The owner, Roberto, always checks and makes sure everything is exceptional - and it really is! The food and atmosphere is hard to beat. We are grateful Seminole City Center has this little gem! read more

Had the best gnocchi I've had in a long time here. The gnocchi was perfectly cooked. We asked for it in a vodka sauce and they accommodated. Unfortunately that is the end of the good and now the not so good. The service was really bad. We were one of only two tables in the restaurant so it wasn't busy. We came in and heard someone complaining; which I guess should have been a sign of things to come. We hardly ever saw the waiter. The manager was pretty much the same. We ordered garlic knots and didn't get them before the meal. So we reminded the manager when he delivered our food. At the same time he asked if we needed Parmesan cheese and I said yes please. Well he never returned. We had to hunt down the waiter and planned to cancel the knots because now we were two bites from being done with our meal. He delivered the knots so we didn't make a stink. The knots were $4 and would have been easy for them to comp due to their mistake but the check was the full amount when it arrived. It's a shame. This place has so much potential. The food is great but the service was miserable. Mistakes happen but this wasn't a mistake. They were nearly empty. Looking back we wondered why they were so empty but I'm guessing the poor service might be why. It's sad because the owners have a great idea and restaurant but the workers simply don't care. read more

Osteria Bricco - Chicken Marsala - Italian Near Me - Seminole, Florida

We came here for lunch before heading to an event in the area, and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Our server was kind and attentive, and had just started working at the restaurant. The lunch menu is shorter than the dinner menu, but very substantial, with appetizers, salads, pasta, pizza, and paninis. We started off with the arancini, stuffed with ground beef and peas, and they were stellar--light, fluffy, and fried to a perfect crispy exterior. On my dad's recommendation, I got the chicken Parmesan panini, which was unlike any panini I'd ever had. They use the pizza dough for the panini bread, making it crisp, fluffy, and tender, and the ratio of chicken to cheese to sauce inside was perfect. The lasagna, despite its squashy looks, was delicious; I managed to snatch a bite, and the seasonings and balance were spot-on. We ordered a margherita pizza for the table, and it was well-made and tasty. Definitely try this place for lunch if you're craving fresh, tasty, and filling Italian--and unlike us, save some room for the limoncello mascarpone cheesecake dessert! read more

Date Night!!! Movie then Dinner!! Yeah!! We had heard about this place and we were intrigued about it, since we both love italian food. We arrived amid a thunderstorm and were greeted nicely. The interior is nicely done, although I would have preferred cloth napkins at the table. The economy!!! Our server Cody was pleasant and attentive. They give you that delicious bread and oil with seasoning. I couldn't resist. It was half price cocktail night, so we opted for Manhattans. Right amont of everything in them down to the black cherry (some places give the maraschino cherry). I had the Mellanzona Parmesean Eggplant and hubby had Spaghetti Con Polpette with meatballs. Both were really good. So much we brought leftovers home. We had wine with this course. No dessert though!!!! We will definitely be going back to try other dishes. read more

Was curious why an Italian restaurant in busy area wouldn't be busier I found out. First the Bread ! It Would be much better if warm not toasted. The olive oil dipping was tasteless needed Parmesan cheese/garlic and seasoning, the paste in it not so good after taste. The staff seems friendly. Took a little longer for the service I thought since it wasn't busy. They have a Clean nice bathroom. The music was nice. The place was kept up clean. The chicken Parmesan was so thin and over cooked burnt actually. The noodles were ok the sauce was watery tasteless. The pizza was not great the dough was soggy from the saturated watery sauce the best part was edges . I would not revisit this restaurant unless I seen pictures of improvement on the food we got. I'm a huge pizza fan this is not for me. read more

My husband happened to park right in front of Osteria Bricco when we went to the Studio Movie Grill in Seminole City Center. About to head home, we both decided on a whim to try this Italian restaurant. The service was spectacular. Andy was on top of everything. The food was delicious. We shared a Ceasar salad and it was great. I had a simple spaghetti marinara and my husband, chicken parmigiana. Portions were oversized so we've got a second meal. And every Thursday they have live music . Nice treat! read more

The place is located in a higher end outdoor shopping mall. A little hard to find but not very. 4 of us went with a Groupon. We shared 4 pizzas and each had a glass of wine as part of the deal. We started by ordering the fried squash blossoms (not part of the Groupon) which were nicely fried and not soggy at all. The Groupon included a pizza or pasta dish each but we opted for pizza after reading the reviews and seeing it being enjoyed by others in the restaurant. My son and I shared a white with prosciutto and burrata. That was the winner. Our other was a red with olives, mushrooms, arugula and sausage. Also very good. My wife and daughter shared a different red and white that were non-meat choices and they loved them. We each had a glass of the montepulciano (red) that was tasty and a fair pour. There were several other nice wines to choose from. Overall this was a great find and, when back in the area, would definitely return to. read more

First of all these people are horrible we waited 20 minutes and still were not served almost an hour later still NOT SERVED we had to go because the guy here didn't seem to even know he was working read more

I sure wanted to feel like the service was clean when my food was being carried to my table BUT The waiter had sunglasses on his head and kept adjusting them throughout the night, so obviously he was messing with his hair all while carrying people's food , Also another waitress touching her hair then carrying food. It's like a first rule NO NO . This is unacceptable and a health concern to me. I don't understand the garlic pate looks like alpo dog food in olive oil. I heard the real Italian owners have left the business. I hope they think about their health concerns . read more

We've stopped in off and on since opening. We had a chat with the manager on the night someone fired a handgun in movie theater nearby and he's very sincere, receptive to input bad and good.

They've closed 45 minutes twice why have hours listed if you're not willing to serve customers on a Saturday night

This place is very nice, very clean and a nice ambience. The staff was friendly and on the ball. I had a few issues here that will keep me from visiting any time soon. We started with some arancini balls, they were really good but the centers were very cold, cheese not melted and peas inside were almost frozen. The olive oil they bring out with the bread is very bland, they should at least bring some black pepper out when they serve it. We had chicken Parm and Lasagna. My Pene pasta was under cooked and too salty. The lasagna was good but too salty as well. Overall good food, just need to tweak some things to keep me coming back. read more

The food has always been .... acceptable at best. Tonight we had a screaming toddler, related to the owner, running down the main aisle by our table. Later, when we left, the child was in a stroller IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ISLE with mom (owner or family) in back of her texting. To get around her I literally had to swing my butt around one foot from the face of a man dining with his wife in a booth. He gave me the dirtiest look and I understand. What a cluster flock. NEVER AGAIN! Steve G read more

First experience at this authentic Italian restaurant was last night and was a amazing experience Went with two friends and one of them is a regular here. The food, service and ambiance was superb, they have a singer on Saturday nights and he was very good. The place was packed reservations only which we had. We stated out with a very tasty bread with dipping oils We ordered the Caprese salad to share among us and the presentation and quality of taste was great The Spaghetti Con Vongole was ordered and two of us ordered the Spaghetti Alla Carbonara. If you have two orders of the Carbonara it is made at your table by the chef. This was an experience to see this made and everyone enjoys it, it was great. The pasta is made here daily and the texture and taste was superb. Everything was amazing. We also had Limoncello to clean our palates and it was great. I am anxious to return to this restaurant it is a GEM. Service was great and so was the very friendly staff who knows how to take care of you. I almost forgot we did have a bottle of wine and it was a red wine. It was very tasty. I am definitely going to try some more of that. Imperial Collection Premium read more

We visited this location a few months ago for a book club meeting. Again, the meal took hours - about three for a party of about eight. The food was enjoyable. Our biggest challenge was attempting to pay. Our server took ONE check at a time from the table. We asked her to take multiple, but she continued to walk away after dropping one off. A few of us were using a Clipp deal and this went over with her like a lead brick. We later learned by the bartender that she was referring to us as the "coupon table". Yikes. She later apologized to two members of our party who chose to stay and drink at the bar - saying she had a hard day. Everyone has experienced this at work, but it definitely would've been easier to eat at home. We decided to not make a return visit here for our book club based on this. Myself and some of our party said we would not return at all. The food was enjoyable, but the service was unpleasant and too slow for a weeknight meal out. read more

Osteria Bricco - Charcuterie appetizer for two! This was our meal - shared between the two of us for a lighter lunch. It was filling and yummy! - Italian Near Me - Seminole, Florida

Went on a recommendation. 4 of us. The good, my friend said he liked his seafood pasta. Would have preferred linguini but it wasn't an option. My wife is vegan so had the cauliflower crust appetizer for her meal without the cheese. Wine was reasonably priced and our waiter friendly. The not so good. The A/C didn't seem to be working well so we sweated through dinner. Kind of a strip mall atmosphere. Appetizers took awhile. My wife's entree came out uncut and before everyone else's entree. My Caesar salad made it right before the entrees. My veal Marsala was bland. Our friends chicken Marsala was the same. We didn't get bread until we asked for some. The wine on the check was more than the price listed (they adjusted it). So overall, more strikes than hits. read more
