My wife and I went to the Millenia Mall on Tuesday and had an excellent lunch at Brio. I had Gorgonzola crusted lamb chop in a marsala wine sauce and my wife had Lasagna Bolognese. They served scrumptious olive oil infused flat bread crackers along with a nice hard crusted Italian bread (missing from Mezza Luna). We both also enjoyed their selection of wine by the glass.

As I said before, I rarely complain about service. It has to be really bad. However in all fairness to Mezza Luna, I have eaten at the bar during this past summer and had a good meal and service. The place was empty that day.
Brio's is worth the trip! And I love their Basil Pear Fizz cocktail. They also have call-ahead seating.
