Bruno’s is what a family owned Italian restaurant can provide…each dish is individually prepared to order. They will offer choices of pasta in most dishes, so you can have it the way you want, not like the chain restaurants, that cannot adapt to individual requests. No glossy advertising, just good Italian cooking, that puts a smile on your face. If you happen to be there on a night when they offer the Sea Bass Piccata, you are in for a treat. They actually offer piccata with veal, chicken and Sole, most nights. All entrees include soup or salad and are reasonably priced. Their wine and cocktail list is also incredibly reasonable. If you are missing the small, Italian Bistro with great service and the great selection of memorable Italian dishes, Bruno’s is your place. Not flashy presentation, just good basic Italian…

Just an outstanding experience! Food and Service were top notch! My daughter’s new favorite place for carbonara. We tried the nightly specials and they were excellent. Try the risotto appetizer! Great service which is always a plus when dining in Denver.

Enjoyed the Baked Ziti and the Lasagna. Been eating at Bruno's since he was on S Monaco. Not so thrilled with our cocktails...cinnamon flavor in the Old Fashion was just odd. We go early to avoid the noise which grows as the room fills. Recommended for dining at a reasonable cost.

I was a big fan of Nick's and his restaurant Bruno's when he was at the sw corner of Monaco and Evans until he closed He has been at his location on Broadway for 3 years and I am not sure what took do long for me to return! Wonderful food and service just like I remembered! We had the fried artichokes for an appy and it was delicious. His chicken piccata was very delicious and unlimited bread! Great wine list. I will be back soon! Thank you Nick!

Simply, a great local bistro. Fresh, homemade Italian food. Great chops and pasta dishes. Osso buco, veal saltimbocca, baked ziti, and shrimp with cheese tortellini and vodka sauce are wonderful - al dente, well-prepared and spiced. Atmosphere is laid back and casual. Staff is laid back too but attentive with a high level of care. Reminds me of family-run east coast restaurants where you're welcomed as a friend and they are truly glad they are there. It's a great casual neighborhood restaurant. Worth your patronage.

Great good, great service and great ambiance. Dinner at Bruno's is like having a gourmet dinner at home with out the work. Considering the quality of the food along with the professional and friendly service prices are. Very reasonable. I have enjoyed dinner there many times and am looking forward to many more fine dinners.

The Sea Bass with angel hair piccata is fabulous. They are experts at preparing fish. We have never had a less than perfect serving. Crisp on the edges and moist inside. Their pastas are all great. Highest recommendations to Nick and his team.
