Brioso — Restaurant in New York

What a wonderful experience as always!!! Food from bread offerings with eggplant dip and focaccia to the delectable desserts were stupendous!!! It was a dinner gathering to celebrate my dad's 71st birthday. My immediate family consists of my daughters, ages 11 & 8 and my son, 6. Each had a variety of meals they loved from personal sized pizza to fettuccine alfredo. Portion sizes allowed for both dad and grandpa to try the perfect pizza and husband also had some of the fettuccine alfredo, both meals also were brought home and left overs were eaten by me and my son. My meal was the seafood combination that has a slightly spicy red sauce. Yummy as it always is for those who enjoy muscles, clams, calamari, shrimps and fish!!! We had a wide variety of appetizers- hot antipasto, a garden salad that had so many healthy fixings included, fried calamari, and mozzarella that is my husband's favorite. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Our waiter last evening was wonderful. Luis, I believe was his name, was extremely attentive and friendly, very accommodating and able to meet the needs of my children, myself and our other family members consisting of my mom and aunt and uncle. Most of us traveled from Marlboro, NJ where there is another Brioso. Whether you are looking for a quaint date night, special celebration with family or holiday celebration, (we have had our Christmas Eve dinner here for several years now), delicious desserts or a drink from the quaint bar, this place that Pete owns is sure to surpass your dreams of a nice night out!!! Be sure to support this local business ASAP! You should be pleasantly surprised, if you haven't dined...

Look I went there last night (Saturday) and the apps n pizza were ok. I’m not looking to bash a restaurant around as long as Brioso. First the waiter was like we were bothering him just to order or ask for a soda. He’d go right back bar area completely uninterested. Let me say the reason for my review. My dinner was ok nothing wrong but my wife asked if he had veal chop not pounded. He said let me check. Guy goes in kitchen n immediately comes out n says yes we have one left that’s not pounded. My wife said can I get it grilled with nothing on it just salt n pepper with side of broccoli rabe. Guy says no mushrooms or mushroom sauce? She tell him no nothing. Fast forward it comes back smothered in mushrooms n whatever sauce. He asked my wife what do u wanna do my wife said you said that was last one ill take pasta vongole He comes back n says do u want that veal chop she tells him I don’t want the same veal chop n just remove mushrooms. This guy tells her n we found a new one. This review is to long but this guy comes back in three minutes with an overcooked dry original veal chop. My wife told him wrap my husbands dinner up we’re gonna leave. Can you imagine this imbecile typical Staten Island

Reply to owner-

In my reply to the owner, I agree with you 100% my review had nothing to do with the veal chop being credited back or complaining about prices. I’m happy that you are now aware of how your staff handled the situation especially this waiter since I find it ridiculous that someone would try to feed me back the same veal shop...

Found a SCREW IN FOOD. Had my sons communion party there this past Sunday! Screw was found in my guests plate. Owner Peter was incredibly rude! Wouldn't take accountability at all for this happening! Blamed one of my guests for planting it there! I couldn't believe his reaction to something so serious. It could have been in one of the children's plates. Luckily my guest didn't choke but a whole table of 14 refused to eat after that occurrence leaving me mortified! During the party Peter proceeded to yell at his staff in the middle of the party for different reasons which was very unprofessional. My guests didn't need to be subjected to this as well. Peter later rushed the dj to shut down the music earlier than the ending time of the party just to get a head start prepping for his dinner crowd. There were many other issues along the way which were consistent with his unreasonable, poor attitude towards accommodating my party. I had previously been there many times for dinner and had been impressed, so this came to a very big shock to me and my family. This is the first yelp review I have ever written since I'm not the type to complain, but he was just so uncooperative in too many ways to ignore. Please think twice before having your next...
