    The food was delish - our server, Damian was very attentive . We started with a cocktail - Limoncello Drop- very refreshing ! For the appetizer we chose the Hamachi Crudo- it was fresh and had a nice citrus flavor . The entree choice was the Pork Chop served with potatoes and veggies and I ordered the Linguine with Scallops and Crab! The linguine had a scampi sauce and homemade lemon ricotta which was a perfect blend. We ended our meal with the Tiramisu! A fabulous finale to our evening

    This restaurant has a really good value for money. The food is delicious, the price is not expensive, and the service staff is very friendly. I will definitely recommend it to my friends, and I will definitely go back to eat there again and again.

    This is our first choice for our daddy daughter dates. Brunos never disappoints. The atmosphere is great along with the authentic Italian food. The service is superb with the great welcoming smiles at the door with the hostess as well as the servers. We will be returning!

    No issues we dine here often. However we booked a high top table. But were not seated as requested. Other than that. We were satisfied.

    Our server was great. wasn’t provided with a name, but he had tattoos that i complimented. the food was amazing as well, the portions were great. i was able to finish my pasta, when typically i wouldn’t be able to finish a restaurants entree. i got the pasta with clams or couldve been muscles. the sauce was thin, which i think contributed to me being able to finish the meal. the flavor was immaculate for such a simple dish. they do simple dishes well. their tiramisu was amazing as well. i am a avid tiramisu lover. while the lady fingers were a little bit over soaked, i liked how pungent the espresso flavor was, so i was totally okay with it.
