The menu at Brio's is extensive, but you can't go wrong with their wood-fired pizza pies. Personal favorites include their Margherita and Wild Mushroom, both of which have a deliciously addictive sesame seed crust.
Also worth trying is their Linguine with Shrimp and Calamari in spicy red sauce. Not only can the plate feed two, but they are very generous with the seafood.
