    Service & setting at Bruno's are good. The $40 week-end 3-course dinner special is a good value. Food is top notch.

    Many times leaving an italian restaurant, I feel kind of disappointed at the food because I can make most of that at home. Leaving Bruno's, I know I can't do that at home. Their dishes have a nice balance to them. The flavors of the ingredient blend in with each other nicely that is refreshing. Be it their short rib, seafood pasta or rack of lamb, there is something unique about each dish. I need to go back and try more of their menu.

    Excellent as Always! Bruno’s Restaurant never disappoints! The food is consistently delicious, and the service is top-notch. We’ve been coming here for years, and it truly feels like a second home for our family. The servers are always friendly and attentive, making every visit a great experience. A special shoutout to Tim, the manager-he goes above and beyond every time. He always makes a point to greet us personally, check in on how our meal is going, and even remembers to say hi to our kids. It’s that personal touch that makes Bruno’s stand out. We’re proud to be regulars and can’t recommend it enough!

    We started with cocktails- their espresso martinis are smooth and delicious. We enjoyed ravioli and linguine with clams. Their food never disappoints and the atmosphere is great. We sat for a couple hours enjoying our time but so glad we made reservations. There was a constant waiting list to get in.
