Was 2pm, and arrived at the restaurant for a late lunch. Brio is an Italian ristorante and pizzeria. The place was fairly empty on a weekday.

Was seated immediately since I have a reservation and the staff was polite and courteous and I was left with the menu.
Got a bottle of sparkling water to start while I slowly peruse on what to order.

The other table besides mine was already at the end of their meal. Decided to order an appetizer and a main. Don't think I'll have space for any desserts. The main reason why I'd order an appetiser was because I wanted to try their La Tavola menu which the staff informed, is sort of like a seasonal.

The pastry-like bread and the focaccia were my favourite from the bread basket. Served warm,

| Panna Cotta al Midolo @฿360++ |
The panna cotta that arrived doesn't quite look like the one in the menu. One could've mistaken it for a burrata. Staff advised to mix it and eat together. As I was eating it, I realized this was probably meant to be shared by 2 to 3 pax and acted more like a butter substitute. Rich and creamy, and the sweetness from the apple puree cuts down a bit on the repetitive flavours.
Ate it with the bread, especially the focaccia helps by adding different texture to the bite.

 |
| Casale del Giglio, Chardonnay, Lazio IGT, Lazio Italy @฿530++ |
The wine helped in cutting down the richness. I think this might be my first time having an Italian Chardonnay.
 |
| Gnocchi alla Sorrentina @฿430++ |
The potato gnocchi in tomato sauce was served piping hot. Staff did caution against the hot surface when the dish was served.
Goodness, the portion here was really generous!
