| - I really loved Bruno's! We came for a family celebration, and I took the advice of other yelpers and made reservations, because it is a SMALL place. It is not fancy- pretty unassuming. But it's nice and simple, and honestly, reminded me of a lot of the humble ristorantes in Italy- it's all about the food here, not the decor.
The service was great- they kept water glasses and the bread basket filled.
The FOOD!
They had a nice, thorough wine list. They have a full bar (but no liquor on Sunday). We had 2 nice bottles of wine.
The bread was soft with a light crunchy crust, and a garlicky herb butter. Really good.
I had the Lingine alla Pescatore- seafood pasta. It was humongous. I laughed when the brought the bowl. But it was soooo good. It's like a treasure hunt to find all the scallops, clams, and shrimp in there! The sauce is a really light, perfectly seasoned tomato sauce. It's great because the seafood stays the star here. All the seafood was cooked perfectly. The calamari were not too tough. The scallops were just right. It was great. And it's still great, because 2 days later, I've still got leftovers.
My mom had Shrimp Arrabbiata and found it too spicy, but I think she has a low tolerance (so beware!). Everyone else really enjoyed their meal.
We ended with tiramisu. Big giant pieces of tiramisu. It was perfect. Not too soggy. Right proportions. Beautiful. A great way to celebrate.
If you haven't been to Bruno's- I recommend it!
