Quaint and relaxing restaurant!
Elizabeth H.

Happy Hour at Bricco is plentiful in portions. Quaint restaurant (inside) which feels it's a neighborhood restaurant. Customers seem to know the staff. We had the following food and each of the dishes were good American favorites comfort food: Caesar Salad, Fried Mozzarella, and Spaghetti Marinara.

My wife and I stopped by here during happy hour. We ordered the spaghetti and marinara, fried mozzarella, and Caesar salad. All three dishes were great: robust flavors, fresh ingredients, well-prepared and very good-sized portions. And for happy hour prices that were very reasonable. My wife and I left full. The next time I go back for happy hour, I'll order one of their drinks, which are also reasonably priced. The hostess was very friendly and so was our waitress. Happy hour appears to be popular, as the restaurant was full. The ambiance was buzzy, high energy, people enjoying their meals and each other's company. This is a friendly, neighborhood-type restaurant. They also have music, although we didn't stay to listen to it. Definitely a place I'll return to.

We are at Bricco almost every weekend -- it's become our go-to spot for great pizza and good vibes. We always sit at the bar, where the staff knows us by now and treats everyone like family. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable. We always get the New York-style pizza, half jalapeño and pineapple, and the other half pepperoni and sausage. It's the perfect combo of sweet, spicy, and savory -- and the crust is always thin, crisp, and perfectly charred from the oven. You can tell they really care about quality here. One of my favorite parts about Bricco is the live music. They often have cover singers doing classics -- think Elvis, Frank Sinatra, and other old-school favorites -- and it gives the whole place this fun, nostalgic energy that makes you want to linger a little longer. Whether we're just grabbing a drink and pizza at the bar or making a full night of it, Bricco never misses. It's easily one of the highlights of my weekend every time.

Deluxe Pizza. A nice balance of bold and fresh flavors.
Jenn R.

Because changing into going out clothes and driving sounded exhausting, we went with delivery instead. THE FOOD. - House Salad. The pile of mozzarella cheese and roasted red bell peppers are amazing! Oh, and the salad is fresh too. It serves at least two people (with second helpings if needed). - Deluxe Pizza. A nice balance of bold and fresh flavors. The pepperoni & sausage brought savoriness while the canadian bacon added a touch of sweetness. Red onions and roasted peppers gave a vibrant lift whereas the mushrooms and black olives grounded it with earthy, briny notes. Cheesy mozzarella and the boldness of Parmesan cheeses finish off this delicious pizza. - Build Your Own Pizza. He only wanted pepperoni & onions because life doesn't have to be complicated (his words, not mine). THE RETURN. I'd come back for more pizza and salad!

Cute place for good food, generous pours, and live music! We came on a Friday night and got a lot of dishes to share. We got the calamari, bolognese, ceasar salad, linguine, and pizza along with wine & dessert. Everything tasted fresh and if you come for happy hour, you have an extensive food and drink menu to choose from. The live music was really nice and the service is excellent.

Cacio e Pepe to go
Stacy S.

Hubby was craving Cacio e Pepe, so I did a search on Yelp and this was the closest place that offered it. The reviews for their Cacio e Pepe seemed promising, so we decided to give it a shot. We ended up ordering our food to go. I called at 3:45pm to see if I could place the order for 4pm pick up, but they said no, and to call back at 4pm when they open. I wondered why they even picked up the phone in the first place? Hubby arrived at 4pm, placed the order for 2 Cacio e Pepe's to go, and it was ready in 15 min. When we opened up our food containers at home, we were pleased with the size and portion of the pasta, however they completely missed the mark on the flavor. I'll admit that we've had authentic Cacio e Pepe quite a few times in Italy, so we know what it should taste like. Unfortunately this was not it. First of all, the dish was very soupy and watered down. Typically Cacio e Pepe is creamy and consists of pecorino, pepper & butter. The pecorino and pepper were very light. We actually barely tasted any pecorino, but there was some type of cheese on it. The pepper was also very light, which is not typical for this dish. The pasta was unfortunately over-cooked (too soft) and not al dente. And last of all, Cacio e Pepe should be creamy, not watery and soupy. This review is solely based on the Cacio e Pepe dish, so please keep that in mind. We would consider returning to try their pizza or lasagna. They also seem to have a good happy hour menu.

Fresh Bread Loaf with Herbs and House Salad
Laura R.

Pleasantly surprised at Bricco yesterday. A group of us went to dinner at this small but very clean, and chic restaurant. The food was great and delicious. The only reason for the 4 stars is that one person ordered a Chicken Salad and it took forever for it to come out. A couple of people were almost done eating when the salad came out. I was pleasantly surprised the menu was updated and added a vegan and gluten free dinner option. Bravo! I ordered the Kale and Mushroom Vegan Ravioli.... so good! The house salad can also be accommodated to be vegan. Wonderful! I was a happy camper! Our server was very kind, helpful, and polite. We'll definitely be back. Hopefully, next time will be a 5 start review.

Chicken piccata
Betty G.

We came here for dinner tonight. The restaurant is small but they also have a tent outside that is very cute. Food was delicious and service was great. I had the chicken piccata and that was very good. The pasta was perfectly cooked, el dente, and it had a nice chewy texture. The zucchini was also very good and not overcooked. Hubby had the pappardelle pasta with bolognese (meat sauce with beef & pork) and he loved it. We had Diane as our server and she was wonderful. Staff is very well-trained here and everyone is so nice. There's also live entertainment on the weekends. The guy started out just singing but he changed into an Elvis Presley outfit later and did a fantastic job entertaining diners.

Blue Collar Specialty Pizza
Navid D.

My wife and I had a spur of the moment craving for some Italian and on the recommendation of some of the folks on her FB groups we decided to check out Bricco. Our server, Jennifer was wonderful. Attentive and personable. The outside seating was nice with a patio heater setup. I ordered the Blue Collar Chicago Style and my wife ordered the Alfredo and it was delish! We wrapped it up with the Nutella donut balls (lol) and had enough left over for the next three days! Forgot what the name was. Definitely coming back. Especially to check out the pizza and the different style crusts. The 14" seems to be the perfect size too. Excellent!

You can have a glass of wine or a bottle
Lori S.

The food was absolutely delicious. Our server Michelle was great & the ambiance was inviting. Our first time here and we can't wait to keep coming again and again.

My second visit. Went on a Wednesday night. It was not too busy. The dining room was mostly full, and the patio was empty. We were greeted promptly, but the staff appeared stretched thin. It took about 5 minutes to be seated, despite no one being ahead of us. We ordered calamari shortly after sitting down. It arrived a very long 15 minutes. The portion size was reasonable, and the quality was very good. The marinara was served warm, and the arugula added a nice contrast in texture and flavor. This was the strongest part of the meal. When the calamari arrived, we placed our entrée order: a gluten-free pizza and two pasta dishes. The entrées arrived about 20 minutes later. There was a lot of waiting. Approximately 40 minutes worth (5 minutes to be seated, 15 minutes for the appetizer, and 20 minutes for entrées), which felt long given the overall crowd level. The pizza was very good, especially since it was gluten-free. The pasta dishes were below average. They were overcooked and soft, with sauce applied too heavily. We finished with tiramisu. It was good quality, though somewhat expensive. The total was $107.21 before tax and tip. The staff was friendly and professional throughout the visit. Service delays appeared related to staffing levels and kitchen pacing. Overall, this visit was inconsistent compared to my previous experience. Some items were strong, while others fell short, and service was slower than expected for the price point. P.S. The restaurant next door, Alo Asian Kitchen, was under renovation again when we left. At this point, this is probably the sixth or seventh remodel I've seen there.

Such a lovely family restaurant. We sat outside in the Patio. And they have heat lamp. We ended up order a bottle of Decoy wine. The food was Delicious. Service was Excellent and very Attentive. We enjoyed it very much. And would come back for more.

Capo is such a great place for grabbing good food and enjoying a drink in a fun western…read moreenvironment. The service is great with hard working friendly workers. I would recommend this place to anyone

I've been enjoying checking out the various spots at River Street Marketplace, and Capo Leisure…read moreHouse has quickly become one of my favorite happy hour stops in the area. One of the things I appreciate most is that the happy hour actually feels like a good deal. Happy hour runs all day on Mondays and Tuesday through Friday from 2pm-6pm, with $10 cocktails, $6 beer and wine, and a few food specials that are worth ordering. We went with the chicken nachos ($10) and the taco special ($10 for two tacos, with mix-and-match options like birria, carnitas, chicken, and sweet potato). Both were surprisingly generous portions for happy hour items. The nachos came loaded with toppings and could easily be shared, while the tacos felt substantial rather than the smaller portions some places serve on their happy hour menu. The space itself fits right in with the River Street vibe. It's casual, lively, and makes for an easy place to hang out with friends after work or spend a relaxed afternoon grabbing a few bites and drinks. The entire marketplace has become a fun destination, and Capo Leisure House is one of the spots helping make it worth the visit. If you're exploring River Street Marketplace for the first time, I'd definitely recommend stopping by during happy hour. Can't wait to come back during regular hours to see what else they have to offer!

Finally made it to Station Craft. We have been eyeing this place for years but it always seems…read morepacked, so we just drive past. Today, on a Saturday at 12-ish, as a family of 4 we were able to get seated right away. Our server was attentive and offered/brought waters right away. We were seated inside which was open and spacious but loud enough to make it family friendly. The tables were far enough a part that you did not feel like you were on top of each other. Next time, we might ask to sit outside so our young boys can watch the cars drive by. We learned that the kitchen is nut free (always double check as this could change), which was amazing since our son has a severe nut allergy. He was so excited to learn this as he can be limited at other places due to cross contamination or the wrong oils. Then when the food came out and it was delicious - it sealed the deal. It is now in the top of our list of places to go. The kids cheeseburger is good size and not a smaller version as some places do. The chicken tenders were panko crusted which was so crunchy. My husband and I shared the smoked carrot and chicken tacos and we enjoyed them both. The beer was also very good with my husband and I each trying a different kind - an IPA and a Pale Ale. We are so glad we finally stopped in and so should you!

After a beach day, I was craving wings and came across Station Craft on yelp. Glad I tried it out…read more As others have mentioned, parking is limited. My server was super sweet, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was very chill. I got the smoked wings and a side caesar salad for balance. The wings were pretty good. I'm more of a dry rub person, so I enjoyed the wings especially dipped in blue cheese! The caesar was ok. The croutons were good, but it was too much cheese for me. I'd come back again to try their other food.
