Some of the review on here made me laugh. This is not a place for the hipsters. Sorry guys. This is not a trendy side of town. Not Tremont or Ohio City. Believe it or not, there is life outside of the suburbs too. Is this the best area? Heck no, that's why there is a security guard outside (whom you should tip on the way out). However, at no point have I ever felt unsafe while being here.
This is the most authentic Italian meal you will ever eat. Not just food wise but the entire experience. This is a small restaurant. Maybe 10-15 tables depending on how they set them up. Make reservations.
Service is NOT slow. We've had great servers every time we've been here. This isn't meant to be a meal you eat and leave within an hour. That's not the way Italians eat dinner. It's meant to be a time to sit and enjoy the company you're with. They will being your appetizer. When you're finished with that they'll bring the soup and salad. They make the meals from scratch, so yes, they take awhile. What's the rush? Have some wine, enjoy the delicious bread with the amazing garlic butter and do as the Italians do!!
There really are not enough words to describe how spectacular the food is. This is the one place I will order something different each time I go and everything seems to get better and better. You will also have enough food leftover for two more meals. They don't skimp on portion sizes. We've had everything from veal, scallops, chicken and just plain old pasta and every single item has been delicious.
So, if you need somewhere to take good friends and family and you're looking for some good food, go to Bruno's. You won't be disappointed!
