Crema's Take
“Brio's pulls off the rare trick of being both a legitimate sit-down restaurant and a beloved local breakfast spot, with an eclectic menu that ranges from lamb burgers to clam linguine—all executed with real care. The charming dining room in an old building feels like the kind of place where regulars have their own tables, and the service tends to be genuinely warm when the kitchen's firing on all cylinders. It's worth the detour through Phoenicia if you want unpretentious, well-made food in a place that actually feels like it belongs to its community.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.
