I reserved a room for my mother's surprise birthday party and it was AMAZING!!!! The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious. Everyone that attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

After being disappointed at our hotel, we had a delightful experience on a Saturday night at Brio! Greg, our very personable and attentive server, provided A+ service and pleasant conversation, which resulted in our evening matching the definition of brio—“lively or joyful.” We started with flavorful wine and cocktails, and then enjoyed the delicious bread and our very tasty selections—Shrimp & Scallop Risotto, and Grilled Chicken Marsala with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Besides being prepared with fresh ingredients, the authentic Tuscan inspired food was also presented artistically. We were glad we spoke up after not being happy with the first table the hostess took us to (beside the hot kitchen), and we moved to a comfortable booth that happened to be in awesome Greg’s section, where we had a great view of arches, marble countertops, and other beautiful Italian decor. Liking the menu items more than those at many Italian restaurants, we discovered that Tuscan Cuisine is not made with heavy tomato sauces and thick cheeses (although to keep some customers happy, Brio also offers lasagna and spaghetti). We had a truly memorable dining experience, and we will be back on a future trip to Tampa!

Birthday party in event room on the second floor. first time we've had an event at this restaurant. We've eaten here multiple times and the food is excellent. Service is always excellent.
We would like to specifically thank Betsy Arfmann she helped organize everything and was very helpful with recommendations and made the night a big hit with family and friends. The chef that night was Nikki, the servers in general were excellent, very accommodating, very pleasant, very efficient, and two servers that were my point people were Manny & Glenda I cannot say enough about any of them. The manager was Joey and was very helpful throughout the process as well. We had a dance floor brought in by a company who their staff was excellent too. We had two people singing, so they set up in the one side of the room. we had 70 people eight people at a table. Everything was clean. We had hors d'oeuvres first they were excellent the calamari the shrimp cocktail the bruschetta for the meal we did family style and it was perfect. In fact, some of our guests go to events all the time mentioned how great it was that family style because the food was nice and hot when it came out it wasn't plate meal. The plate meal would tend to end up being cold or warm some times at other event centers. There was plenty of food family style. We had the Gorgonzola beef, the lasagna, chicken lemon, the broccolini, and the Penny vodka, the bread that is always good, the Caesar salad to start, in fact, many people had taken food home. They were provided so much food with family style. we did the premium drink tickets and that worked out really well. There's a bar outside and then also the waiters and waitresses will ask if you want drinks. The soft drinks were a part of the family style menu. Also, there was already water on the table. We had game cards related to his year of birth on the table. We came in early and set up the room. They gave us time to set up the room which was nice and we placed centerpieces and balloons. The chef introduced herself in the beginning for the night. She was very professional. We had two vegetarians and they accommodated them very well. Brought out separate dishes with a great presentation . They cut the cake nice and then boxed up the remainder for guests to take home. Definitely worth it. We will definitely have events again there. And we always go back and eat there. Thanks again to the wonderful staff at Brio.

I was fortunate enough to have found Brio as a venue to celebrate my baby shower. The entire process was great! From booking, choosing menu options etc. The manager, Joe was wonderful and so accommodating to us and all of our shower decor and set up requests. Glenda, Manny, Kim and Todd were excellent and kept all the guests well taken care of! I am so appreciative of the Brio team and all they did to ensure the special celebration went well. The food was delicious, the space was the perfect size and it was such a memorable day. Thank you again!

Hosted my baby shower here, really glad I found this space! Betsy was really helpful and responsive in helping to book the space. I ended up having about 15 guests. The servers were responsive and the food came on time. It was just enough space for us to have the meal and have some baby shower games. The price was very reasonable for the quality of food, space, and service we received. I was looking at other options before booking and this worked out the best for us.
The private room was nice for our kids to run around too. There were 2 other events happening next to us but it didn't affect our space at all.
Really happy with our experience and if we ever have another event I will definitely consider booking here again. Highly recommended, thank you!
