    After a long time, I returned to Bullvino. I've said it before, of the Rodizios in the Twin Cities, this one is truly Brazilian. The others are very commercial and not as natively Brazilian. The friendliness, the joy with which the customer is greeted, the excellent service, and the high-quality Rodizio. Knowing the restaurant industry globally, I believe, in my opinion and knowing about wines, that some wine prices are very high compared to the same level and service. The Caipirinha is truly Brazilian. The desserts are fabulous. See you next time.

    Our experience (my wife and I) was pretty good. Service was very good and noise level was ok. The food overall pretty good or average. The arancini we had for appetizer was great. The roasted mushrooms were good. The rest of our meals was average. Price was reasonable. We think we may try again with different menu choices.

    Love this place! Unique atmosphere at the historic Union depot. I had the sunnies and they were delicious. Husband had the lamb burger and he’s still talking about it! Nice wine list too.
