BRIO (meaning "lively" or "full of life") is a "polished casual" restaurant serving authentic, northern Italian cuisine. The subtitle, "Tuscan Grille" is descriptive for a menu that features oven-roasted steaks, chops, and seafood; similar to what one would find in an authentic ristorante in Tuscany. BRIO's philosophy of "to eat well, is to live well" is why they only use the finest and freshest ingredients. BRIO brings the pleasure of a Tuscan country villa to the American city. To learn more, go to www.BrioItalian.com.

    We've been eating at the Olde Silver Tavern for decades. First in the original, and now in the newly rebuilt restaurant. They offer several dining options. When the weather is good, you can eat on the patio. Indoors, there is the dining room which is quieter, and a vibrant bar scene. The menu is varied with something for everyone. They also have some creative cocktails as well.

    This was my first time to Cuzin’s Clam Bar. The Marlboro restaurant was welcoming and had a great vibe. The service was excellent and so were the choices in the menu. Prices were on the higher side, but the quality and quantity of food was very good. I would recommend this restaurant.
