BRIO Tuscan Grille opened a location at The Mall at University Town Center on Oct. 16, the day of the mall’s premier. The restaurant, the 12th Brio Tuscan Grille in Florida, will provide a “Taste of Tuscany” to The Mall at University Town Center, which features many distinctive retailers, including a combination of upscale fashion and lifestyle retailers and a selection of sit-down restaurants. Brio, meaning “lively” or “full of life,” is a “polished casual” restaurant serving authentic Northern Italian cuisine. It brings the pleasure of the Tuscan country villa to the American city. The subtitle, “Tuscan Grille,” is descriptive of the menu that features grilled and oven-roasted steaks, chops, seafood, made-to-order pastas, flatbreads and entrée salads, similar to what one would find in a ristorante in Tuscany. Brio also offers an ample dessert menu and full wine and cocktail list.
