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.

We were there for a family dinner after a wake. The food and service was impeccable as always. Our server was the best and attentive to us and as we were leaving , she offered her condolences to our family. This is why I chose to come here after. Always great service and never had a bad meal here.
