    Quaint darling place. Shannon our server was incredible, upbeat, friendly knowledgeable, and efficient fast service. The dishes were outstandingly delicious. However I do want to point out that my pizza was a create your own and I added two toppings that did not pass meeting. They had one mushroom on each slice of pizza the same with the other toppings one piece. We brought it to Shannon’s attention and she made right. It was not her fault. The chef clearly does not understand when you’re paying for extra toppings. It should mean a handful. The pricing is a bit high however you do have enough to take home so generally two meals for the price of one makes it easier to comprehend the pricing however if you’re a male and you eat a lot then one plate of pasta for almost $30 is a bit high The place is very clean. Service was fast and we did love our experience there.

    The server was great - very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was good but not worth the prices being charged. If we go back, we’ll try happy hour or 1/2 price wines on Wednesday to make it more reasonable.

    This was our first visit to Brugo's. The regular sized salad could easily be shared by 3-4 people. We ordered a large the Frankstown pizza which was delicious! The service was excellent as well. We will definitely be going back.
