Focused on using only the finest and freshest ingredients, BRIO (meaning “lively” or “full of life”) operates under the philosophy that “to eat well is to live well.” Their goal is to bring the gracious hospitality and exquisite authenticity of a rustic Italian country villa into each of their restaurants. “As a bright light in this challenging time, once all locations are fully operational, we look forward to welcoming back more than 4,000 employees who have been in limbo since FoodFirst filed for bankruptcy.”īRIO Italian Grille is a polished Italian restaurant serving dishes that include Pasta Alla Vodka, Chicken Limone, Gorgonzola Salmon Fresca, and more. “We’re very excited about adding these restaurants to our group and look forward to not only investing in the future of BRIO and BRAVO!, but also the employees who are the backbone of these two restaurants,” said Robert Earl, Chairman of Earl Enterprises. BRIO and BRAVO! join Earl Enterprises’ existing collection of restaurants that include Planet Hollywood ®, Buca di Beppo ®, Bertucci’s ®, Earl of Sandwich ®, Chicken Guy! ®, and more.
