    Sherry , our waitress was fantastic! Best service I’ve had in a few years, at any restaurant. I hadn’t eaten here in a long time, simply because Italian food is one of my least favorites, but we were out with friends, but they do a great job, and have a selection between fish, chicken, and different types of pasta with sauce. Love that they maintain the history, large mural, and ambience, of the prior owner, Bruno The garlic bread, appetizer with marinara sauce is fantastic and a great value. Wine list is broad and fairly priced .

    Subpar but was very busy and waitress did a good job. Crème brûlée was very good and better than many metropolitan cities

    Stephen, Thank you for taking the time to write a review on Bruno's and the kind words about our Creme Brulée. Valentine's Day is our busiest day of the year, but that is no excuse. We’re normally known for our exceptional attention to detail, and we regret that we missed the mark.

    We arrived at restaurant opening; 4:00 pm; because we had a 6:00pm show. We explained to the waitress we wanted to not be rushed. We came early to enjoy our wine, appetizers, etc. They didn’t give us a minute to taste our wine before delivering our stuffed mushrooms; “cold”. They then rushed us by delivering our salad before we finished the cold mushrooms. After that experience, we asked the waitress to please ask the kitchen to not rush our entree, and allow us time to enjoy our salad and another glass of wine. That did not happen. We got half way through our salad, and they delivered our entree; which we turned away; per our previous request. 20 minutes later; they brought back the entree; dried-up; left-over. $187 total for a dinner worth $40 at most. I will not be going back.

    Richard, we always aim to deliver a great experience, and we are gutted when we don’t meet expectations. Thanks for taking the time to bring this to our attention. We will use the feedback to make us better and to ensure this doesn’t happen again

    This is a nice, quaint restaurant in a cool space. The food and service were excellent. The only negative in our experience was that some of the staff were bringing in supplies through the back door, so it was left open an extended amount of time, which made it pretty cold inside while we were eating. But once they were done, it warmed up. I would definitely eat there again.
    Bruno’s Italian RestaurantResponded on 16 February 2025
    Phil, Thank you for your great review. I’m sorry to hear about the frustrating experience of the back door being open when you were dining. I really appreciate you bringing this issue to my attention and we will be more conscious of this going forward. We look forward to having you dine with us again!

    Waited 2 hours for entrees to be served and the food was below average. Service was slow and we were brought the wrong item 3 times.
