Il Brillo Parlante In San giovanni in fiore

About four years ago, we happened to be passing by this place and stopped for a beer on a night with live music. We promised ourselves we'd return. And coincidentally, we did. We returned for dinner with friends. Excellent meat, delicious mushrooms prepared in many different ways. All the dishes are truly worth trying. The ingredients are fresh and high-quality. The staff are friendly, professional, and helpful. A truly welcoming atmosphere.

Typical local food, more than good, welcoming and friendly staff

You wouldn't expect to find a place like this in Lorica, but instead... there's Il Brillo Parlante! A welcoming place with a pleasant atmosphere, varied and never-drab spaces, windows overlooking the lake, attentive staff, fast service, and, last but not least, excellent food and craft beers. All topped off with great live music! My compliments to Alfredo!

Diego P (8 reviews) We were passing through and stopped in because they make excellent beer. While they were opening for lunch, we had the pleasure of chatting with the father of one of the partners, a very kind and polite man. Welcoming place and knowledgeable staff, with explanations of every type of beer, which we enjoyed tasting... Top hospitality. Congratulations, guys, keep it up, this is the Calabria we want. See you soon and thank you for your kindness. Best regards to your father, especially from Diego and Francesca. See you soon.

I went last night with my partner without (guiltily) having booked. The place was full, but the person I assume is the owner immediately took action to find us a seat. I must say, with a kindness that surprised me. We were served with the same kindness, and I was surprised by the incredible number of waiters. The food, mostly typical local cuisine, is excellent, with quality ingredients and at a price I found fair (we left feeling more than full). I'd also like to point out the free water, with the waiters refilling the pitcher every time you pour a glass. It seems like a small thing, but I assure you it's not. I'd like to offer a small tip that will certainly be appreciated by the owner: when you ask for a glass of wine, bring the bottle and have him taste it. However, as a fairly knowledgeable wine connoisseur, I can assure you that it was excellent quality, so it's just an oversight that, if corrected, will further elevate this excellent place. I hope to return as soon as possible!

We dined there two nights in a row, including Valentine's Day, which was very well attended. The staff was friendly, attentive, and attentive to detail. The food was spectacular; we had both mixed appetizers and various main courses (including the fillet steak, which I recommend for lovers of good meat). When I return to Lorica, I will definitely eat there again.

Informal atmosphere, fast service, good food

Brillo Parlante is a true gem in Lorica. This welcoming, well-maintained restaurant and grill has a warm atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The grilled meat is top-quality, cooked to perfection, and served in generous portions. You can taste the attention to the ingredients and the passion for cooking. The menu is varied and caters to all tastes, from traditional dishes to more indulgent options. The side dishes and wines are also excellent, perfect for accompanying the grill. The service is friendly, fast, and always available, with smiling and attentive staff. Truly excellent value for money. Highly recommended for both a dinner with friends and a family evening. If you're passing through Lorica, Brillo Parlante is a must-see!

This restaurant overlooks Lake Lorica, in a truly picturesque location. The atmosphere is charming and ideal for a stop in the area. We tried a mixed antipasto (the one in the photo) and a mixed grilled meat. The quality of the meat was very good, as were the cheeses and fried foods: authentic and well-crafted flavors, nothing to complain about. The same goes for the waiters, nothing to complain about. They were very attentive, especially when it came to refilling our water when we ran out. On a less positive note, the prices were quite high for the portions, especially the mixed grilled meat, which was literally three pieces of different meats, which left us a bit perplexed about the cost. And thank goodness we split it. Overall, a pleasant place, with a nice atmosphere and good quality ingredients, but the value for money could be improved.

Friendly and welcoming staff, exceptional food, very good beer
