Brio Italian Grille is an upscale-casual Italian restaurant at SanTan Village, Gilbert’s open-air shopping and dining district off Williams Field Road. Locals come here for Tuscan-style grill fare, a deep wine list, and a polished setting that works for date nights and family dinners alike.
The kitchen sticks to Northern Italian staples with American touches. Expect wood-grilled steaks and seafood, handmade pastas, flatbreads, and antipasti built for sharing (Menupedia). The dining room carries the brand’s Tuscan-villa look, with warm earth tones, arched details, and an open bar that turns lively during happy hour. Wines by the glass and Italian-leaning cocktails pair easily with plates of lasagna or a grilled filet. On weekends, brunch adds a reason to come by before shopping (Menupedia).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Friday and Saturday evenings fill quickly, especially during the cooler October-to-April season when SanTan Village foot traffic peaks. Reserve ahead, or arrive before 6 p.m. Weekday lunch and the late-afternoon happy hour are the calmest times. Patio seating is pleasant on winter nights but less comfortable in summer heat. To skip the wait, you can order pickup or delivery through Brio’s online menu. Parking at the shopping center is free. Confirm current hours before visiting, since chain schedules shift seasonally.
