BRIO – Italian
Brio Italian Grille anchors a corner of Shops at Pembroke Gardens on Southwest Fifth Street, open daily from eleven and past ten on weekends. Pasta comes handled properly: lasagna layered with bolognese, ricotta and mozzarella; sausage carbonara; chicken and spinach fettuccine; spaghetti polpette. Chicken limone and chicken marsala hold the entree list alongside a New York strip and shrimp and scallop risotto. Shrimp and eggplant in black pepper cream makes a good opener, as does the bruschetta sampler. Patio diners get a separate seasonal terrace menu with limited-time Italian dishes. A warm chocolate chip bread pudding is the last word.
