    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.

    I had to wait 30 min even though I booked a reservation. Food quality was not good at all and they ran out of a lot of food.

    Unfortunately we chose Valentines Day to dine. Our 8:45pm Reservations were delayed til 9:10pm. We were seated by the front door. High traffic area & much noise. Waiter was was good but he needed help due to the high volume of people. Took away from the food & special day. Thank you.

    We visited Bruno's restaurant on 2/14/25, prior to attending a show at the Civic Center. Our reservation was made weeks in advance and Bruno's and a show was our Valentine's Day plan for the evening. There was a line out the door upon our arrival. We were greeted by Stephanie at the hostess station, were served drinks at the bar by Aaron and served dinner by varying staff, and attended to by Sophia. Sophia provided us with top notch service from start to finish. Ron and I dined on Fritto Misto, Lobster Ravioli, Short ribs with homemade pasta, Tiramisu and bread with balsamic vinegar, peppers and olive oil. That was the best bread we have had and all of the food and wine we consumed was absolutely delicious. Thank you for making our evening at Bruno's a wonderful one. Dawne and Ron

    Delicious Italian food! The bread they bring to the table must have been manifested by the gods, it was so good! Try the steak and shrimp, it was incredible!

    The food was delicious, pleasing to the eye and palate, fresh and full of flavor. We had a pre-dinner old fashion, followed by a yummy white wine to accompany their fabulous cioppino. Definitely worth the price. It was a busy night, the place was full. But wait staff was absolutely friendly, smiling and very professional. The place was noisy (your highest rating states "energetic"), and due to the full house there was big volume. Having a conversation at the table wasn't too challenging, we just needed to speak loudly.
