    We love this restaurant we go about twice a month, Tim the manager checks in on everyone make sure their meal is good and chat them up. We always have the same server. She’s great and knows our drinks in order. They have indoors and outdoor outdoors dining. It’s just a well run restaurant with some good food choices. Dinner for two with a drink and dessert will run you a little over $100.

    Always great food and experience. Their bread is always warm and crisp. Their sparking wine is always a good choice. I recommend Bruno’s for anything from a romantic dinner to catch up with friends in a nice and chill atmosphere.

    My experience there was amazing. The food, the service, and the ambiance were outstanding. 10/10 for me. One thing that’s on the con side is that the restaurant felt a bit dimmer than usual that's the only thing.

    Great place to grab a bite to eat with friends. Not fancy atmosphere wise but the food was phenomenal. I highly recommend Bruno's Italian Kitchen. Oh by the way, the lasagna was absolutely amazing.

    Everyone in the building was smiling and happy to be there. Not just the guests but also the hostesses, servers, bartenders and chefs. The waitstaff are great at making recommendations. The food is reasonably priced and delicious. The wait time for food and drinks is perfect. This is our new go to spot for a date night, special occasion or night out with friends.

    Our server Damian was exceptional. Very attentive, knowledgeable and overall always had a smile on his face. My wife did not care for her flat steak as it lacked flavor. Our appetizer (clams & mussels) while very tasty, especially the sauce, was very skimpy. The same for my entree the cioppino. We both left hungry. If we do go back a pasta entree would probably work best based on what the tables around us had.
