Brio Tuscan Grille: Troy, MI 01/08/08

Three people went to Brio for lunch

The light is rather dim for lunch
Lizz ordered Mezz Lasagna & Insalata $11.95

Her choice of salad was Bistecca, a wedge of lettuce with tomato, gorgonzola, bacon and then parmesan dressing on top.

Lasagna that was pretty good

My choice was also a dish + salad combination for lunch $12.95. Shrimp Arrabbiata risotto was made slightly spicy, made with peperonata. The risotto was nice but the caesar salad was a failure.


Linna's crab cake with citrus pesto $11.95 that was okay, but just that.


I mistook the daily special scallop dish $13.95 as an appetizer and ordered an extra dish. However these sea scallops with lobster bercy sauce, based on olive oil and of course lobster, was good.

Chocolate Panini with strawberry and vanilla cream $4.95

This sweet dessert was very good. I always had a good experience with the friendly servers here, and though my caesar salad was horrible and crab cake was just mediocre, other dish were worth coming. The bill was $60 excluding tip.
