Brio Tuscan Grille has expanded their menu to feature dishes incorporating seasonal flavors. The new offerings are available until February 28 at both Winter Park Village and Mall at Millenia locations. Here’s what’s new on the “Flavorful Features” menu!
Appetizer:
- Burrata & Prosciutto Bruschetta: Red peppers, mayonnaise, sea salt, black pepper, extra virgin olive oil and parsley ($11.95). We were given a bruschetta platter to sample, out of the three, my favorite was the burrata and prosciutto version. The ingredients complimented each other in perfect harmony.
Entrées:
- Chicken Saltimbocca Risotto: Provolone, crispy pancetta, fried sage and butternut squash risotto ($16.95). The chicken was moist and the dish as a whole was extremely flavorful – a favorite of the evening!
- Sea Scallops & Ratatouille Risotto: Seared scallops served over risotto with roasted eggplant, red peppers, zucchini, tomato compote, basil and Parmigiano Reggiano ($21.95). The Rataouille Risotto had a little kick, but it was welcomed. The scallops were tender and easy to cut into as well. The dish had a distinct taste compared to the other two and is a good intro for those new to the world of seafood.
- Crab Stuffed Shrimp & Broiled Maine Lobster Tail: Orzo, farro, zucchini, red peppers, asparagus and lemon butter sauce ($25.95). The lobster and the crab stuffed shrimp provided a sweet yet savory taste with each bite. I took half of this dish home (so much food!) but enjoyed it the next day. It was still tasty and thoroughly passed the “leftover test.”
Dessert:
- Butterscotch Budino: Italian for “pudding,” this dish features marcona almonds and caramel and vanilla whipped cream ($3.95). The dessert reminded me of a sundae as it was warm, topped with vanilla gelato, almonds and finished with a caramel drizzle.
In addition to the food, the service was excellent – thanks Cameron! Visit the Winter Park Village or Millenia location soon before these dishes disappear.
