Best Italian Food in Irvine — No Arguments Accepted! 😤

Let me show you the restaurant that my friends and I are practically revisiting on repeat — The place where including drinks, it's under $50 per person, and we all agree it’s better than some Michelin 1-star Italian spots we’ve tried elsewhere! Oh — it’s Brio Italian Grille in Irvine! 🍤 Appetizer we always order: Shrimp & Eggplant Our ultimate favorite! Juicy shrimp served over crispy fried eggplant soaked in savory sauce. The sauce is the soul of this dish — we even used bread to soak up every last drop! 🍖 Lamb Chops — tender, melt-in-your-mouth goodness. 🍕 Pasta & Pizza — you can order blindly here, no regrets. 🍹 Drinks are also a win — whether cocktails or sweet sangrias, they’re well-crafted and affordable. Fun story: A friend ordered a 6oz glass of wine, and the server brought a 9oz pour saying, “Well, I already poured 9oz, so…” 😂 #IrvineEats #LAFood #IrvineRestaurants #LATravel #LARestaurants
