   Viva Italia! We started with the Pane and added the recommended size of olives (Kalamata & Green), and both exceeded our expectations. The Pane is brick oven-fired and came out ooey and gooey and oh so fresh. Next, the main courses delighted. My wife had the Wagyu Filet (Med) and I had the Wagyu Ribeye (Med Rare). I had the truffle butter steak-topper during our last visit on the filet, so this time we (both) went with the standard butter-topper. Both steaks were tasty and had an appropriate char to them. We finished with gelato with my wife having 1 scoop of Dulce de Leche and Butter Pecan for me. We also added a slice of Limoncello cake. They were adorned with Luxardo cherries (a magical touch). If only they had an extra server and it was not so loud, making it quite difficult to conversate at times, it would have been all 5 Stars. The hostess staff could have been friendlier upon arrival and seating us as well. Our server, Sherri, was very nice.

   This was a slam dunk! Cocktails , food, atmosphere, and service was top notch. We had the gnocchi and rigatoni. Both were excellent and we will be back!

    Excellent specialty cocktail, lobster linguini was quite good and the mushroom soup entree reminded me of Disney's Wilderness Lodge's Artist Point Smoky Portabella Mushroom Soup ... mmm. Reasonably priced, a nice treat in downtown Springfield, Illinois.

    As usual - everything was fantastic. Carter is a tremendous waiter. Nice, knowledgeable, engaging and patient with customers who probably aren’t as funny as we think we are. Kudos to the chef and kitchen… I’ve learned to always get the special - as it’s usually wonderful.

    The service was fast and friendly enough. The food was okay and under seasoned. We had never been to an Italian restaurant that didn’t offer bread. There are many other great Italian restaurants in Springfield.

    We drive 3hrs one way about twice a yr just to have dinner here. Love the simple, classic dining room, cozy atmosphere, excellent service and good food (I am Italian!). It is a bit of a splurge for us, but we always feel like it’s been a special occasion when we dine at Bruno’s.

Dressing tasted bottled. Capraccio delicious. Had the lobster ravioli and seared ahi tuna special. Both delicious! Especially the lobster sauce, amazing!!!

    Bravo Bruno’s The new owners and the new improved Brunos has become my fav Springfield restaurant. Whether its the Wagyu filet, Or the linguini with clams. Or the amazing pizza. Everything is fresh and homemade. The bonus is all the staff treat you as family. Superb service with smiles. I should know. I ate there three times this week!!! Highly recommend Bruno’s Bon apetito George
