Brio Tuscany Grill

We visited for a wedding reversal dinner. Brio is not to be confused with the chain. The food is fresh, very tasty, generous portions. The environment vibes of an Italian bistro cafe, with live music to boot! Absolutely fabulous.

What a wonderful evening at Brio Tuscan Grill to celebrate my birthday. Chelsea was our server and what a wonderful person who was a delight to meet and very professional and accommodating. No evening is complete without visiting our favorite waiter extraordinaire, Claudio, a professional who loves what he does and the people that he meets. We started with drinks and appetizers which were superb. The four of us ordered our entrees and I had the Penne Donatelo which was a treat, the two ladies each had the linguine with Shrimp and my friend Dean had the pork chop entree. Everything was amazing as was the ambiance and wonderful jazz saxophonist who played a wide array of soothing and pleasant music. Chelsea then brought out some amazing New York Cheesecake and I was blessed by the folks with a birthday song. So nice! Pepe, who we have known for years and is an owner at Brio stopped by twice and then surprised us with after dinner shots. A wonderful person as are many of the staff at Brio. We did not get a chance to say hello to Enzo the other proprietor although had to mention him as this place is well run, great food, ambiance plus and people who care deeply about quality service and people. Thanks so much for an amazing evening and for always making us feel loved and like family. Highly recommend Brio Tuscan Grill in Dana Point and yes they do have a Happy Hour and entertainment on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Most disappointing $100 meal I’ve ever ordered. The baguette was burned and missing the dipping sauces (could get a better one from Ralph’s). The cups of soup were barely filled and mostly just briny both with 2 bits of lobster in one of the orders. Pasta was dry and flavorless. Gelato was missing the chocolate sauce. The only decent thing was the pizza. This was our first and last time ever eating here. We tried it after thinking it was the Brio Italian Grill (not Tuscany) we’ve had before that is amazing. We realized it wasn’t the same before ordering but thought we’d give it a try. Total waste of money!

Hopped over to this restaurant for dinner from the hotel in DanaPoint as part of our continued anniversary celebration. Since I love Italian foods, our kids chose this restaurant that was close to where we stayed and to celebrate the occasion with us. This restaurant is a hidden gem in Dana Point/ Laguna Miguel. The restaurant is full of vies. Mixing with live jazz music, the restaurant is full of live and energy. The foods are even better. The two appetizers we ordered were amazing. Deep fried calamari was very good with crispy batter. The tomato sauce came with the appetizer was so good that I just ate it all. I loved my main dish of penne Donatello. The creamy tomato sauce was not too thick and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The other dishes my family ordered were also fantastic. The plates were cleaned up. Had a beautiful evening with the family. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful, provided excellent service.
