    Dined in this restaurant with the family for a birthday celebration. The place had a great atmosphere. Our server Peter was excellent! He was very accommodating, knowledgeable, and have lots of recommendations about places to visit. The food were delicious and came in big portions. We enjoyed our time here!

    I visited this restaurant for the first time couple days ago with some friends for their birthday. We sat outside and they had an entertainer singing which was really nice and beautiful voice. Our server was great and polite I would say excellent service. Our food was on point, we tried the sesame tuna, escargot, salad, soup, risotto, pasta and salmon. All the food was hot, fresh and delicious. The server went above and beyond by coming with two desserts for the birthday friends. As FL residents we like to try local restaurants and this one in particular was good enough for us to consider to come back again. The menu has fair options of seafood plus great italian selections. I want to point out that the night we went it was pretty empty but the service was really great. Shout out to the kitchen crew and staff who maintain quality of food and service no matter the time or circumstances. Overall We want to come back and try more.

    UPDATE The Pot Roast is.just.Amazing!!! Excellent service, friendly and efficient. The staff has very good menu knoweldge, answering several questions on-point. The Sausage and Peppers was ideal. The sausage was tender and so full of flavor and the sauce was thick and rich. Thank you for allowing the substitution from spaghetti to fettuccine. And the pasta was cooked exactly right! The Coconut Salman, Scallops, Fettuccine Alfredo were all Two Thumbs Up!! The cheesecake birthday dessert was epic and the singing was marveloous.

    We were in town and looking for something special... something local. We found both at Branos. The service was fantastic. Our server was very knowledgeable and fast. It wasn't super busy when we went, which would make a difference. Now for the food. It's absolutely amazing. I shared a large pizza with my son and wife. Our daughter got the lasagna. All, excellent. If you're in the area, I would highly recommend Branos.

    My husband and I decided to eat here for our recent third anniversary. I easily made the reservations a day or two in advance by phone. The staff were wonderful and friendly, the food was delicious, the wine was tasty, and the atmosphere was pleasing, calm, and quiet. There were conversations going on around us but everyone was at good volumes that we could have a nice dinner together. From the outside, you'll think this is a more bar-like area or more informal like Long Doggers. Definitely a hidden gem right on A1A. The only complaint? The dude sitting the next table over. He got a bit snotty with a server that wasn't his server with "Excuse me. Please find my waitress and let her know not to let my water get below the halfway point." We thought the staff handled it quite well and they just be applauded for not telling the guy what we were really thinking. Can't wait to come back here and bring family!

    The food was beyond amazing. It's all made from scratch with only the finest ingredients and you can definitely taste it. We had the baked brie and seared tuna to start and they were both amazing, I loved their special sauce for the tuna. The only thing I would change is the level to which the bread was toasted for the brie, it was just a little to hard to bite through, other than that it was perfect. I had the coconut crusted salmon and all I can say is my eyes literally rolled back in my head from the sheer pleasure my taste buds were experiencing. The veggies and rice that came with it were also amazing. My boyfriend had the (I can't remember the exact name so this might be incorrect) sausage meatballs and ravioli? It was smothered in cheese (who doesn't love that) and their sauce was so vibrant and delicious. Being full already we couldn't help but get some desert. The sampler was out of this world. They give FULL SIZE portions on this 🤯. We went with the cheesecake, white chocolate torta, and tiramisu. All three were absolutely devine. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have true Italian macchiato to enjoy with desert before the drive home and was a little bummed that the cappuccino machine was down and they were out of Expresso. Not really to big of a deal, I mean stuff happens. The service was awesome on top of it all. Our server was very informative and sweet. I wish I could remember her name so she could get the recognition she deserves, especially since I ask another waitress a question and she was clueless and a little rude. I was so greatful we had who we did. This is definitely a place I will be going back to and telling my friends and family about. Kudos to you guys for running such an amazing authentic Italian restaurant. Maybe you'll be offering macchiato when I come back? 🤞🏻 Side note...if they're offering lobster bisque you have to get it. The chunks of lobster meat on top of the sweet savory flavor of the soup were the best I've ever had.

    We ate here for my grandparents' 50th anniversary. The food and service was very good. They brought bread to the table while we were waiting for our food and didn't hesitate to bring more when we asked. Our server Kim took good care of us and was happy to bring us anything we needed. She even encouraged us to put a picture of my grandparents up beside the table, moving a vase so we could do so. They also gave us extra cups of olive oil to take with us when we asked for a to go cup. My family was very happy with our experience at Branos Italian Grill and would eat there again when we are in Cocoa Beach.

    Open on Thanksgiving until 10 pm. Thanksgiving platter was delicious. Very busy since there aren't many places open. Long wait if no reservations. We ended up sitting at the bar & service was very slow. Bread, appetizers entree, dessert = very filling food!

    The happening place! Went on Thanksgiving and the hostess ask if we had reservations. We didn’t know we did, she sat us anyway. Aiden was our wonderful server and on the ball. Limited menu because of the holiday but good choices. Meal was super hot and fresh. Well worth the money!

  • 5/5 Kaitlin T. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing!!! The food was soo good. I had the bake brie, it took a while but amazing when I got it. Well worth the wait. And then I tried the jumbo scallops, absolutely fantastic!! The wait staff was very nice and managed everything very well for a busy sat night.

    A great find ! We were looking for a local restaurant and found this place. Food was excellent ! Prices are pretty fair even for a tourist town. We got prime rib Marsala and lobster ravioli. Both were very delicious. Highly recommend this place.

    Out of towner review, to go review: Food was excellent! Nicely packaged and still hot. Here’s what I ordered: - Chicken Parmigiana (delicious though was hoping for more chicken, seemed like every time I cut through thinking it was chicken it was only cheese). - Asparagus (delicious and huge, nicely done!) - Cannoli (tasty, she’ll was a little soft) - Caesar salad (good dressing, small portion, see below) My biggest issue with my order was two things: 1. To go utensils and 2. the price compared to portion size. First, for any to go order, always pack a set of plastic ware for the customer! Second, portion size. The Caesar salad is a side, but if you look at the photo, there was barely anything there. I finished the salad in three bites. Very disappointing. And on the cannoli front, you charge $9 for only one!? Again, the food overall was tasty but the expectations on price to food delivered did not align. Overall, I recommend checking out Branos. However, Id really give it 3.5 stars but rounded up to support local business. I’d imagine eating at the restaurant versus taking it to go/delivered is a far different experience.

    Mixed review here. There outdoor seating was very nice and we were seated quickly. The staff was very friendly and the mozzarella caprese was amazingly good. I could eat that for my entire meal. The bread and dipping sauces were also delicious, but both of our drinks were not very good and the chicken piccata was just ok. I would not get it again

  • 5/5 Rebecca L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very impressed with my meal. The service is amazing and food delicious. I ordered fried calamari as an appetizer it was fried perfectly. Then for my main course I ordered the New York strip steak with steamed veggies and asparagus. Can I just say it was absolutely fantastic.

    Everything was AMAZING! My husband & I are still talking about this place days later. We made reservations online, and when we arrived we were seated right away so that was nice. We went on a Wednesday at 7 pm. Parking can be tricky. If your in the Coco Beach area and have a craving for some good Italian food this is your place.

    We had just gotten into town for our 10 year wedding anniversary and this was a quick option we had for dinner. Our server Richard was attentive and very helpful not only with the menu options but things to do around town while we were here. He had also given us a dessert to help celebrate our anniversary. I could go on but I will try to keep it short. I highly recommend Branos Italian grill for any occasion! Food and service was excellent. To Branos staff; Thank you all for the warm welcome to your great town! We will be coming back in the future!

    Decided to try Branos for our last dinner before leaving town. Had wanted to stop by a few nights ago, but glad we stopped this evening. John, our waiter, was so nice and friendly. The food was amazing with wonderful plating and presentation. Portion sizes were nice, and the warm bread to start was a great beginning. Couldn’t leave Florida without one last slice of key lime, and it was well worth it. Don’t know if we’ll be back to Cocoa Beach at some point, but if so, Branos will be one of our first stops.

    Wonderful service and excellent authentic Italian food!!! Cass was a doll and took very good care of us!!! Our first time here and to Cocoa Beach, this was a great experience. I went rogue and got the pot roast and potatoes. The calzones are huge, the chicken parm is as well. We loved it, especially the dipping oil for their bread!!! If the owner sees this, I too my lemon Berry mascarpone to go and the ants really enjoyed it! I’ll have to come back and eat it at the restaurant and not take it to go next time!

    Walked in about 20 minutes before closing for a to-go order, and they did not flinch. In fact, the entire front of house staff was wonderful! So gracious in fact, we were even offered a beverage while we waited for our order! I tried the Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, Salad with Bleu Cheese Dressing, and the Bread. Every single bite, was beyond delicious!! The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the meat sauce delivered! It was packed with beef, onions, peppers, fresh herbs...and the flavors were in perfect unison!! The Bread was served with a fantastic dipping oil, that we also enjoyed immensely! Last but not least, the Bleu Cheese Dressing was top-notch!! They packed utensils, napkins, side sauces, nothing was lacking. When you're living in a hotel room, that means the world. If you are local, then you clearly already know how good Branos is...if you're passing through and are craving some excellent Italian food, then you need to stop by. You'll feel like welcomed Family.

    Make sure you plan a night out with your special person at Branos while you're in Cocoa. Nice little spot on the A1A Server -Ed- awesome. He was efficient, friendly, but not overly so. Perfect. Get my order right, suggest things, make sure we don't run out of drinks or bread, and let us enjoy. Thanks again for a great experience, Ed. Food was pretty good. Wasn't the best Italian I've ever eaten, but it was a welcome change from the stuff most tourist places try to pass off as quality food. Atmosphere was really nice (wear your best t-shirt and flip flops and knock the sand off before you head over). Super happy price-wise. 2 adults with app, salad, main, dessert and 2 gin/tonics was 85 or so. And like I said, great atmosphere, service and decent grub in a tourist place. I fully expected to be well over 100. Rating is a 4-1/2 (again, Google doesn't allow for half stars that I can tell). OH! Do yourself a favor and get the tiramisu (pictured). 🤌🤌

  • 4/5 Aaron L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good food and service. We enjoyed our meal. Staff is well trained and our server was a little busy but still did very well with our service. My only complaint would be that the restaurant is rather noisy, so not some place to go if you're looking for a romantic dinner with your partner.
