text: Brio is located in Town Square in South Las Vegas. From the start, it looks really nice. The decor and the atmosphere totally exudes class and is warm and inviting. The outdoor seating with the fireplaces for the colder nights, and the misting sprays during the hot days are a great amenity to have. The food, however, left much to be desired. \n\nI went here to meet up with friends and have a nice relaxing dinner. The first course started very well. I ordered their lobster bisque and it was tasty and creamy and just plain delicious. Their bread is very good as well. I was looking over the main courses while waiting for my other friends and found the prices quite on the steep end. Perhaps it was the atmosphere that made them think they could charge exorbitant prices for pasta.\n\nAfter looking at the menu for a couple minutes, I finally decided on the lobster/shrimp pasta. It sounded so good and sounded like it would hit the spot. At approximately $24 it was pretty expensive but I figure it was worth a shot. The pasta was pretty disgusting when it came out. The pasta texture was off and undercooked, their sauce was tasteless and their shrimp were tiny in comparison to other italian eateries that charged that kinda price. Lobster? Yeah right, it was more like 2 measly scraps of lobster, that was overdone, ironically, since the pasta was underdone. \n\nI was not impressed at all. I think I had better pasta at Yardhouse and would have much rather go there than eat here again. Truly a waste of time and money. There are so many better places out there...dare I say that Olive Garden might be better? At least they cook their pasta right. \n\nIt was great seeing friends but the food was just horrendous. I would have gladly have gone elsewhere. The service was pretty good and my water was refilled frequently so I am happy to say their service isn't that bad. \n\nI can't get over how terrible their food was. I don't know what everyone else is raving about their food for. Yeckk.. truly a disappointing dining experience.
