Restaurant Review: Brio Tuscan Grille at the Mall at Millenia in Orlando, Florida

There is no better way to end a long day of shopping at the upscale Mall at Millenia in Orlando, Florida, than with a fabulous sit-down dinner at its best restaurant, Brio Tuscan Grille. You can soak up some Old World atmosphere while dining on some of Orlando's finest Italian cuisine at this wonderful establishment located across from the Cheesecake Factory. Here is a restaurant review of Brio Tuscan Grille at the Mall at Millenia in Orlando, Florida.

No need for appetizers when you are served a generous helping of fresh, hot Italian and flat bread straight out of the oven. You can, however, enjoy your choice of aperitif from Brio's full service bar. Whether you are dining at Brio Tuscan Grille for lunch or dinner, you will be able to select from a large, mouth-watering menu that includes chicken, veal and pasta dishes cooked to order. My usual selection is the pasta alla pesto, which features grilled chicken over angel hair pasta with fresh mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts. This particular dish is under thirteen dollars and is offered during both lunch and dinner hours.

Other inexpensive pasta dishes include pasta bolognese, shrimp risotto, pasta brio, penne mediterranean, and mushroom ravioli al forno. Their salads are fresh and tasty and chock full of wholesome ingredients, while their soups just might set your mouth on fire (in a good way). If you want to splurge, try out Brio's spectacular Italian steak recipes, such as their delicious eight-ounce filet.

For dessert, my favorite is the chocolate cake with the warm center, topped with vanilla gelato. But you cannot go wrong with their tiramasu either. With dessert, enjoy a relaxing glass of port wine or one of their specialty coffees.

Service at Brio Tuscan Grille at the Mall at Millenia in Orlando, Florida, is impeccable. The wait staff is fast and friendly and entirely attentive. If you choose to enjoy a cocktail or two at the bar, you will be met with the same outstanding service. All around, Brio Tuscan Grille at the Mall at Millenia truly delivers.
