Simply great! The food was top notch. The service was both professional and friendly. We have been there many times in the past for a delicious meal and this was no exception. The tuna tartare app was excellent with just the right amount of spice with the raw tuna on a bed of avocado. The seafood entrees were cooked perfectly and the Veal Valdosta was enormous and perfectly cooked as well. We were never rushed and our waiter was attentive without being overbearing. It was a most relaxing evening. The desserts were wonderful and the blueberry cheesecake was amazing. Bricco is definitely worth the visit.

Nice relaxing Thanksgiving dinner that started with delicious oysters! Service was attentive. Loved the cozy patio room as the rain poured down. Tables were nicely spaced from others. We had pappardelle and linguine with clams. Both excellent. I will return for sure!
