   Our server was great. wasn’t provided with a name, but he had tattoos that i complimented. the food was amazing as well, the portions were great. i was able to finish my pasta, when typically i wouldn’t be able to finish a restaurants entree. i got the pasta with clams or couldve been muscles. the sauce was thin, which i think contributed to me being able to finish the meal. the flavor was immaculate for such a simple dish. they do simple dishes well. their tiramisu was amazing as well. i am a avid tiramisu lover. while the lady fingers were a little bit over soaked, i liked how pungent the espresso flavor was, so i was totally okay with it.

   We had a pleasant experience but it was very easy. Our reservation was for 730 pm on Saturday night. We were seated almost 45 minutes later. Service was above and beyond. Food was good but my parpadella was a bit salty. They also put more too much meat and sauce over the noodle. It was a little too much for me that I wished I had ordered a different dish. I’m thinking it was just a busy night. Everything else was great! Will definitely go back but will not be repeating the parpadella.

   Great experience! It was my fiances birthday and he asked the waitress to surprise him with his meal choice (he likes everything) and she brought out a wonderful dish! She was very nice and helpful!

   This place is great, the ambiance is nothing short of “THE place to be” on a Saturday night. Food is great, but what really stood out among all of the plusses of this spot was the SERVICE. I have been going out to eat quite often in the last year and received basic service, but our server DAMIEN absolutely hit the service promises on the nose and set the standards to the stars! If Damien is the standard of service at Bruno’s then this place is bound to have an abundance of overly pleased clientele. Way to go Open table, way to go Bruno’s, and a massive shoutout to Damien! I look forward to making my way back just to have his service! Bravo!🌟

   Me and the fam. arent an easy group since we have 2 kids but its awesome how the kids get their food first and our server (seem to always get the same one) is super fast with everything. Food is excellent, service better than excellent - always a great experience.

    Wife and I ate there for the first time on the day after Valentine's. We decided on the $60 per person Valentine's special. However, we only ate one appetizer, two main dishes, and one dessert. The total should have been around $85, however, we were charged over $120. The restaurant was also overcrowded and packed and couldn't hear our conversation to each other. We are not coming back.
