Well, I really enjoyed the owners' previous restaurant, Guido Garcia's, because I love Mexican and DH loves Italian, so it was the best of both worlds, but I think it was just a great concept in a bad location (the Death Valley of Carefree's Spanish Village).
Usually, we do carry-out pizza from Brugo's. On average, this not-a-pizza-lover says it's pretty good. Sometimes it's sublime, sometimes it's like "who made this"? So consistency can be an issue. But mostly, pizza-loving DH is really happy. In-house service is the same way---sometimes right on point, sometimes a bit slow, but the servers are always so warm and pleasant that you don't mind waiting a little bit. Plus when dining in, the restaurant is beautiful, the music fun, and you always see friends to say hi to. It really feels like a neighborhood gathering place, but I don't think a visitor would feel uncomfortable.
Nice wine selection and cocktails.
The owner says the Italian recipes are all old family recipes, and you can tell, according to my half-Italian husband. He loves the lasagna, adores the chicken parm and I think the meatball any-thing is excellent. (I do love meatballs.)
I really enjoy their Gorgonzola Chicken salad---that's what I order most, with a Caprese starter. The Caprese rocks.
The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the calamari. Total food service quality rings and always overcooked. BUT---if you have room---you got to try the Spumoni. It is sooooo good. It's worth taking some of your meal home just to leave room for it.
Bueno apetito!
