    Way, way too much salt. Yikes! Definitely a sign of amateur cooking. You’ll notice at first bite. The restaurant has potential. With proper management and kitchen staff, maybe. It would take a huge improvement to get to the level of other Italian food chains (Olive Garden).
    Brio Italian Grille - Irvine - Spectrum CenterResponded on June 26, 2025
    Thank you for your honest feedback. We're sorry to hear that the seasoning overwhelmed your meal—this isn’t the standard we strive for, and we understand your disappointment.

We appreciate your input and hope to have the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.

    Food was only adequate. The 2 orders that had chicken were dry; marsala sauce very dark and not inviting. Gnocci was very good; Calamari too.
    Brio Italian Grille - Irvine - Spectrum CenterResponded on June 18, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the gnocchi and calamari, but we're sorry the chicken dishes and Marsala sauce didn’t meet expectations. Your comments will be shared with our culinary team as we work to improve. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

    Our waitress Lizzy (Elizabeth) was the kindest, sweetest, attentive waitress I have ever experienced in my entire life’s dining experience. She by far beat any high end refined resteraunt waiter/waitress you can imagine. Her selfless attentiveness blew me away. Thank you Lizzy!

    Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that Lizzy made such a lasting impression on you. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care are exactly the qualities we strive to offer every guest, and it means the world to hear she exceeded even high-end expectations. We’ve made sure both Lizzy and her manager saw your feedback—she truly is an outstanding member of our team, and your recognition reinforces just how lucky we are to have her. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we can’t wait to welcome you back soon!

    Service was the worst we’ve had in a while. Waited 20-mins for a server to acknowledge us then another to get water. I had to go to the bar for 1st rounds of water. Food arrived on time; most enjoyed their dinner. The lobster bisque was too salty. The molten chocolate cake showed up luke warm and was served with our empty dinner plates still on the table. The left-over boxes showed up with the check but were asked for before the desserts showed up. The price was great but the crap service clouded the whole experience. Very disappointing.
    Brio Italian Grille - Irvine - Spectrum CenterResponded on June 12, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry for the poor service and delays you encountered—it’s unacceptable and not the experience we strive to provide. While we’re glad most of your party enjoyed the food and found the pricing fair, we understand how the service impacted your overall visit. Your detailed feedback, from the wait time to the dessert presentation and timing of to-go boxes, is incredibly helpful and has been shared with our team to address and improve. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to deliver the experience you deserve.

    It was the worst food and service I've ever had at an Italian restaurant. They didn’t have espresso because their coffee machine was broken, and they didn’t have pizza because they ran out of dough. It took an hour to bring us some dreadful food on a Sunday morning, without any coffee.
    Brio Italian Grille - Irvine - Spectrum CenterResponded on May 25, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your experience, and we sincerely apologize for the numerous disappointments during your visit. Running out of key items like pizza dough and having a broken espresso machine—especially at an Italian restaurant—is unacceptable, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to wait so long for food that didn’t meet expectations, all without even a cup of coffee. This is far from the experience we aim to provide, and your feedback has been shared with our management team to address these serious issues. We truly regret that we let you down and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

    We were highly disappointed with our visit. The service was poor, the food was ok, but that did not bother me. @ out of 5 orders were done incorrectly. An honest, but frustrating mistake. the challenge was that the waiter made us feel like it was our fault then by the time our food arrived, everyone else at the table had already finished their food. The manager did come over to apologize, which was nice. But he should have offered to remove our dishes from the bill, which he ended doing later when we refused a free desert. Mistakes happen, but we did not feel like valued in any way. I will not go here again
    Brio Italian Grille - Irvine - Spectrum CenterResponded on May 22, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re truly sorry for the frustration and disappointment you encountered. It’s unacceptable that your orders were incorrect and that the situation was not handled with the care and respect every guest deserves. While we’re glad the manager eventually addressed the issue, it should have been resolved with more empathy from the start. Your feedback will be shared with our team to ensure we do better in the future. We regret that we’ve lost your trust and the opportunity to welcome you back.
