    This was arguably the best Italian I've ever had. The chicken parmesan was very delicious and huge. You get 3 pieces and a bowl of pasta. The lasagna was great and super cheesey. The artichoke parmesan appetizer is also a must have! The tiramisu was fantastic. Service was top notch. I'd recommend a reservation anytime before 8pm. 1 app. 2 entrees, 6 beers, 2 coffees, 1 dessert was about $95 so very affordable and lots of food to take home.

    I’m so excited to have found an amazing Italian restaurant in Cleveland! Their Italian Wedding soup is the best I’ve had in years. Also, their meatballs are tender and delicious! My only word of advice about Bruno’s would be that if you are a family that needs to go to a Covid friendly place (socially distanced)… this is not your restaurant. The tables are very close together in a small room. We were lucky enough to get a table that was on the corner and not near all the others. I definitely recommend Bruno’s for great Italian! The staff is friendly and the food is top notch!

    Bruno's was on Guy Fieri's television show. This place is VERY quaint and homey. The bar is very nice and the dining room is nice and cozy like eating at home with the family. The food is very delicious and comes out quickly. The service is wonderful and they are sure to inform you if they are going to take a little longer on your order if that happens to be the case, instead of you wondering what's going on. They will make any cocktail you order if they have the ingredients. I order an Aperol Spritz...if could have used a splash more aperol to give it a richer orange color...but I watched our server look up how to make the drink, so I'm not upset at all about it, now she can make an amazing aperol spritz. Haha. I loved our waitress! She was so sweet. Presentation is very good. Nice place.

    Amazing food!! Unbelievable homemade pasta. Portions were huge...we visited from Texas. I have traveled the world and this place is my favorite. We were sad we couldn't take it home with us. Super friendly staff. I highly recommend this place. Thank you Bruno's we will be back next visit!

    Came here for dinner with my friends the other night. It was busy and we were hungry! Waited about 10 minutes and were seated. Food was soooo good here! I discovered this restaurant through my tinder date years ago! Haha My friends ordered the veal and chicken marsala. I ordered the Limon chicken. Chicken marsala here is the best I've ever had in Cleveland!

    I had high expectations for this restaurant. Not a very welcoming environment. Small dining area, lots of people. Our food took forever we ended up taking it home without even touching it. To top it off the food had no taste. Plain. One large pizza is more of a kids personal pizza. VERY EXPENSIVE. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

    If the picture doesn't convince you, maybe my review will. My first trip to Bruno's stemmed from a business lunch, suggested by our Italian insurance providers who have yet to steer me wrong when it comes to dining suggestions. I was absolutely blown away by the Chicken Cacciatore on my first trip and the combination of delicious food and great service knew I had to share this place with others. From there I turned it into a fun conversation piece at the office by taking a different person every week or so back to Brunos. It was always a great time, walking them through the menu and watching as they realize the food always exceeded the hype I gave it on the drive over. From the Lasagna to the Chicken Cacciatore to the Chicken Parmesan, everyone leaves Bruno's with a full belly, a happy smile, and only a small dent to their wallet (seriously, you can't beat their lunch prices). This place is the best kept secret when it comes to Cleveland Italian restaurants, and really just Cleveland restaurants in general. While I'm doing my part to share the word of this hidden gem, hopefully you'll be the next ambassador once you take your first bite of one of the many delicious menu items they offer!

    They provide amazing service and delicious food but I don’t like ambience of the restaurant. They have very tiny place for inside seatings and tables are too small that sometimes you cannot even eat food with 2 people.

    I don't want to tell you how amazing this place is because you will want to go there and I won't be able to get reservations. Wow, authentic Italian deliciousness is the best way to describe Bruno's. Amazing portions, fantastic staff, REAL MARTINIS. Treat yourself, make a reservation!!!

    Bruno’s came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The gnocchi was wonderful and the lasagna deserves best lasagna in Cleveland. It was true Italian food. Martha was a wonderful server and we really enjoyed the whole experience. Make sure you try the tiramisu. We will be back.

    Traditional and friendly, an emphasis on the customer , ensuring an enjoyable dinning experience. Reservations are needed for weekends. Choice of salad or wedding soup with entrees and a nice crusty bread with garlic butter. The staff works together to a good job for their customers . My family comes from a hospitality background at a private club and we appreciate our experience and the way we were treated by Candy and our server there was a young gentleman and a few young ladies who also provided us with service like boxing up our take home. Very nice restaurant. Will see about dessert next time.

    Had a large group outside and the Bruno’s team did not miss a step. Rose and all the other great staff were at their very best. The dinners were fantastic and it’s always consistent. This little spot is legit. Thanks everyone at Bruno’s!!

    Great food and atmosphere, wonderful staff. Food is reasonably priced and the portions are large, you'll probably be taking some leftovers home. The out door patio is a great place to spend the evening with friends and family, weather permitting. Indoors there is a cozy family atmosphere.

    Wow, such a treasure in the CLE. We live close and get takeout quite often, but last night we dined and it was fantastic. From the service to the food everything was outstanding. It was my parents first time there and they were blown away. The seafood pescatore is out of this world as is the veal parmigiana and can easily serve 2. It’s a small building so make reservations, you will not be disappointed.

    The restaurant is a small, cozy place to enjoy quality homemade Italian dishes!! Had dinner with my friends at Bruno's for the first time and enjoyed every bite!! Portions are generous and food was delicious. Staff were pleasant and attentive. My only complaint is that I wish it was larger. Reservations are recommended.

    I cannot say enough about this place from the customer service to the food. My friends and I dined here for the 1st time for my birthday this past Saturday. We were all blown away! The food portions were out of this world! The conversation was mainly about how good the food was. I'd definitely recommend. I will say it is a small establishment so definitely make reservations if planning to dine in.

    I got the pasta with Alfredo and chicken. It was just ok. The salad that came with the meal was nothing more than bagged lettuce and just as interesting as it sounds. My coworkers raved about their meals, all were different from mine. I will go back and try something else.

    Went for the clam bake. I don't think there is enough space here to say how good it was. The place is small. The staff attentive. The food was awesome. This has the feeling of a great regular hang out. Can not wait to try out the rest of the menu. We will be back.

  • 5/5 Bruce B. 6 months ago on Google
    We have eaten here a few times. The service has always been excellent. The food is plentiful. My wife really enjoyed the eggplant parmigiana and I the chicken cacciatore. We always take some home. Last time I ordered the meatball hero. It was okay. The bread here is excellent. We buy a loaf to take home with us.

    Delicious appetizers and the service was amazing, but the main course fell short. Was a bit bland for the Shrimp Pasta and Chicken Alfredo however the lasagna was delicious. I will definitely return based on the service,calamar,i and stuffed peppers.

👍 March 2022: Stopped here for lunch on a comp from the Jack Casino. They gave me $30 that I used to get the Double melt, tots, vanilla shake, and chili to go. Pros: * Clean restaurant with a bar and plenty of TVs on the walls. * Friendly staff who were attentive to my needs. It was not very busy so...
