Fantastic service and the food was delicious. This will be a regular stop.
Great fresh pasta!! Pizza was great also. They had live music a day a lively crowd on the night we were dining. Great family owned place.
Such great food and amazing music. This is my favorite neighborhood spot. The owners are so welcoming. This is truly a family joint!
We went to dinner here on a Saturday night at 6pm. We expected some delays due to being busy, however, what we encountered was a little ridiculous.We were able to order wine fairly quickly. The wine was delicious (both red and white) and was served fairly quickly. That's pretty much where the quick ended. I was chasing down our waitress several times during our time there, asking for water, more wine, to order, and to get the check. We were celebrating and in no hurry, but it would have been nice to be checked on without having to chase her down.As for the food; we had 6 dishes and 2/3rds of them were not great. To run it down:- Lasagna: cheesy but lacking flavor- Linguine Rosato: chicken was overly salted and inedible. Pasta was bland.- Linguine and Shrimp: overly lemony, but the shrimp was plump and cooked well.- Cacio e Pepe: delicious and very satisfying- Pappardelle and Bolognese: tasty- Pizza Pot Pie: the biggest disappointment. As a Sat/Sun special, we were all intrigued by it. Sold as a pizza toppings in a pan with a crust put on top to cook, then flipped at the table. Imagine our disappointment when it was brought out, already "flipped" on a plate. It looked like it was a crust put in a round ramekin, filled with meat sauce, topped with cheese and broiled until melted. No flipping done.The serving of food was also an issue. The pot pie was brought out about 15 minutes before the rest of the food. By the time the other plates were served, it had gotten cold and had to be sent back to the kitchen to be warmed up so it was edible. Even after that, it wasn't great.We were looking forward to dessert but after a disappointing dinner, were afraid to try it out.The restaurant itself is very comfortable; nice place to sit and visit. There was an accordion player doing live music, which was a nice atmospheric touch despite being a little loud for dinner.Overall, the company we brought made the meal. The wine was comparabley priced and delicious. The food was overpriced and unsatisfying. While it was nice to try this place, we will not be coming back nor recommending to a friend.
Love it! The new owners are fantastic. This place has authentic Chicago Italian food and it is great. On the weekends they have live music which is a super fun atmosphere (I love all the pizzas and the cacio e pepe pasta) or sometimes we even order it in just to cure the craving at home! Highly recommend this local hidden gem.
I was curious if this was the same Bricco I was ordering from last year, because the menu was completely different but the name was the same. Disappointed in the food this time though, it was burnt, and the garlic bread was hard, just not at all what we expected considering we enjoyed the food so much in the past. Hopefully it was just a one time thing.
We enjoyed a lovely dinner here tonight! Started with light and crunchy Calamari..soft inside!! delish Also enjoyed the Pizza roll appetizerNext loved the house salad with artichoke and great dressing! Entree was Spicy Arabiatta Seafood Pasta very good! My husband said Chicken piccata best he ever had.? Sampled the 5 cheese Pizza very good! Chips and dip for dessert their version of a cannoli ...yummy!
WOW, just ate here with my family. I have a very specific diet so I got the gluten free crust pizza and usually don’t expect gluten free to be the best. Bricco has the most fresh ingredients I may have ever tasted. I took two pieces home for tomorrow and couldn’t wait when I got home, I finished the rest of my pizza!! Wife absolutely loved her pasta as well! If I could give our food more than five stars I would!
Had a really lovely meal here & followed up later in our stay for takeout as well. Staff are all really lovely. Music on a Saturday evening was a fun addition. They also offer gluten free pizza bases which was great for us & the giant meatball was delicious too. Definitely recommend for a nice, friendly atmosphere with great food.
Bricco is a great place to eat delicious Italian food here in Laguna Niguel. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and quick to make a suggestion if needed.Our family loves the Chicago Style pizza, not that deep-dish casserole but the square tavern cut pizza. The pizza bowl is on a whole different level, be hungry when ordering it, and prepare for the nirvana bliss.The Chicken Piccata is hands down my wife's favorite, it's perfectly seasoned and the sides are great with it.The tiramisu is perfect, not too sweet but spot on. YOU HAVE TO TRY THE CHIPS AND DIP. It's a good take on cannoli, and perfect for sharing!This place delivers on quality food, and friendly service. We value quality over quantity when it comes to food, and Bricco delivers on it each time. We love when we walk in, the owners recognize and call us by name. I love the "NORM" experience, yes that was a Cheer's reference.We love and appreciate the fact this is also a family run restaurant, which is becoming rarer these days. Give them a shot, you won't regret it. Tell them the Obnoxious Boston guy sent ya.
