The food was amazing, the staff was super polite and attentive, great views, it was nice that they had valet because parking in that area can be a nightmare. The vibes were awesome.

Great concept with high energy. Food was delicious and loved the beer taps. A hiccup or two in getting seated with menus but we could see they were extremely busy and the staff were coping as best they could. We’ll definitely go back.

Freehold

About the restaurant

BRIO (meaning "lively" or "full of life") is a "polished casual" restaurant serving authentic, northern Italian cuisine. The subtitle, "Tuscan Grille" is descriptive for a menu that features oven-roasted steaks, chops, and seafood; similar to what one would find in an authentic ristorante in Tuscany. BRIO's philosophy of "to eat well, is to live well" is why they only use the finest and freshest ingredients. BRIO brings the pleasure of a Tuscan country villa to the American city.

Moorestown

About the restaurant

Innovative cuisine, creative cocktails and a community atmosphere are brought together to offer a unique and comfortable dining experience for our guests. We also offer private dining, host events and offer catering and take-out and delivery options. With a focus on top ingredients that include U10 Dry Scallops, a locally butchered 20oz Rib Eye steak, lump and super lump crab cakes, U16 shrimp scampi, and local, fresh herbs and vegetables, our menu is both diverse and upscale while leaving pretentiousness at the door. Our $6.99 children's menu assures an economical visit for families while our 14oz lobster tail fried rice, seafood bisque, or bleu cheese filet mignon offer more upscale options for those wanting elevated cuisine options. Plus our gameday experiences, specials and everyday happy hour create a fun atmosphere for the entire family and sports fans. Simply put, Ryfe has something for everyone!
