Short staffing resulted in horribly slow service. We had concert tickets after the show. I felt sorry for our waitress--she had the whole dining room. We were there at 6 p.m. on a Tuesday night and she told us there was no more bread left. No more bread left. What? Noise level was more than energetic. It was hard to hear at my own table. My husband said his dinner was good. My dinner, beet salad, was poor. When I want a beet salad in Kent, I'll walk across the street and order the far-superior Laziza version. (I would have eaten at Laziza had it been open. I foolishly thought I'd give Bricco one more chance. No bueno.)
Bricco - KentResponded 4 days ago
Our sincerest apologies. All the restaurants in Kent have been really slow lately, part of the reason many have been closed. We had an abnormal amount of walk ins last night resulting in us being busier than any Tuesday the past few months. We apologize if service was slower than normal and will address the beet salad with the kitchen. As far as bread or any other product, sometimes we do run out of things as we have fresh products.

Staff was friendly and the food was good. We were disappointed though because the two items we wanted to order that are listed on their website menu were not on the actual menu-we were hoping to order the eggplant parm and the zoodles!

Everything was great for the most part! But I would suggest not selling the brussels sprouts as they were soggy! Every place I go to with crispy brussels sprouts are amazing so I was very disappointed! We only had a few bites and I was Shocked that our server didn’t ask why we didn’t eat them. Otherwise, food was okay! I will say I had Higher expectations but I understand things can happen. I will plan to try your place out another time! Thank you!!

The cocktails were tasty and our server was great. The food was awful. Italian nachos were cold and oily, pizza was doughy and no flavor, scallops were chewy and overcooked, risotto was broken and the butter was pooling on the plate. I would not recommend this place.

I ordered the pretzel chicken and it was dry like the Sahara desert. Dry potatoes, dry Brussels sprouts. My date had the chicken parmigiana, also dry dry dry. The chicken was way too thick. FYI chicken parmigiana is way better when it’s thinner, pounded flat. I will say the new fall drinks were amazing though. Very disappointed ☹️

We had 6:00pm reservations for 2 on Saturday and tickets for a 7:30pm concert about a 5 min walk away. Upon arrival we were promptly seated and service was very friendly and efficient—credit to our server Samara!! We easily made on time to our concert. Oh, by the way, the food and drinks were outstanding. In particular we enjoyed the Italian Nachos and the Salted Caramel White Russian.

My wife and I had dinner at Bricco Kent prior to a concert at the Kent Stage. We had an amazing dining experience. Our server was extremely professional and helpful. We ordered the Risotto appetizer and Salmon entree based on our server's recommendation and it was outstanding. Also, the house Chardonay wine was an excellent selection at the price point. I highly recommend Bricco for a great dining experience in Kent.

Our server, Michelle, was very helpful accommodating our needs (wheelchair, gluten & dairy free options), which were included in the reservation. Cocktails, food and service were excellent. Acoustics terrible when it's crowded. It annoys me that Bricco's charged 3% for use of a credit card - the most we've ever seen in our area. While this is not Bricco's fault or responsibility, I was very upset that a car pulled in the one handicapped parking lot right in front of us. Out jumps a woman who did not have any visual limitations and four kids (they left the dog in the car). When I said something to her she proclaimed she had a sticker (as if that made it ok). I let he know I had a wheelchaired person. Put my flashers on, unloaded my husband and got him inside then drove around to find another parking space. She returned and exchanged her kids with a man who was parking in a no parking space! They all went on their way. NOTE to readers: NEVER park in a parking space if you do not physically need it - even if you have a plaquard.

Our guest’s drink had to be redone more than once, but the server Michelle saved the day and instructed the bartender how it should be made. There was no charge for the error, which I felt was providing Legendary Service. We loved sitting on the covered patio. The food was delicious and we enjoyed our visit.

Not very clean. Torn and stained menus/ no bar menu. Chairs- stained. The place looks tired. Staff was slow but pleasant when they did get to the table. It was homecoming- so crowded w teens but they were entertaining, not a problem. Drinks were generous- cherry quality lacking in Manhattan. I thought there was too much dressing on my Caesar salad- blackened shrimp was tasty. Husband says his baked penne pasta was a B-.

My sister, son and I each found something on the menu that appealed to us, and we were not disappointed with our choices. My sister's calamari was cooked to perfection, and the breading was flavorful but not overpowering. My son declared his wrap sandwich to be delizioso! My salmon was also perfectly cooked, and glazed lightly with a bourbon sauce. I wanted to try the tiramisu, but I was too full!

I hadn’t been to Bricco’s for about a year and was shocked at the decline. The silverware was dirty, there were food particles floating in my water and the quality of the food was nothing like it used to be. Unfortunately, I think this will be my last visit.

Maybe it was a really bad day for them. We walked in, for a 5:45 pm rez, and couldn't hear ourselves and had to yell at the receptionist to give our names for the reservation! Live heavy rock band playing at an incredibly high volume. The reflective windows and floor amplified the roar. She gave us a seat outside but every time the door opened to the patio, it was LOUD. Incredible. The experience at Bricco - Akron was just the absolute opposite. The pita that came with artichoke dip was burnt in places. Beet salad was very ordinary. Drinks were very good. A really disappointing experience.
Bricco - KentResponded on July 19, 2023
Good afternoon! We would like to apologize for your experience at Bricco Kent last weekend. The city was hosting Blues Fest and all the local restaurants that participated were assigned musical entertainment through an outside company. We have participated in this local event for years. This was the first time we were given a group that was extremely loud. We have already spoken to the event coordinator and have been assured that this will not happen again.
