Had some fabulous authentic Italian food with exceptional service. The shrimp & spaghetti special was fantastic and the manager was engaged, fun, and friendly. Even the bread and salad made me think of my childhood Sunday dinners. Bravo!
The best Italian food in the area! Very old school quaint place! The servings are large. We have not had anything we did not like yet! Bruno the older personally greets everyone and is such a funny old school Italian man. Every time we come to Florida our first night of dinner Bruno’s is our first stop!
The is the real authentic deal!!! Noi and I came here and were so amazed.... Like it was and always should be!! The Marsala was so tender. The Caprese was perfect, Meatballs were soft and flavorful. Mmmmm!
my first time ordering from here and i’m so happy i did! it’s truly an old fashioned genuine italian restaurant. the chicken parm is delicious and a really generous portion, pricing was great! garlic knots are also soooooo good! will definitely be coming back here!
Our third time coming back and still as amazing as the first time. The staff was attentive and friendly. The ravioli was freshly made that morning. My husband got the veal special and cleaned his plate. The desserts were also made in-house and absolutely divine. Highly recommend making a stop here.
Stopped by after the parks and we miss Italian food after moving to Minnesota and this place delivered! Amazing Pizza and great service. Can’t wait to come back and visit again.
A great option when you’re tired of paying the mouse :) Authentic Italian food, Bruno greeted us at the door and we enjoyed a delicious meal. Prices are very reasonable and the staff has an “enjoy life and food” family restaurant mentality. Don’t miss the garlic knots, they are amazing and they will bring you a second basket
First time visit. We were seated promptly and the manager greeted us. That's when it all became unforgettable. The manager is apparently a part time comedian who is also a writer, who is also, keep up with me..... who is also a budding actor. He certainly likes to share this information so be prepared to learn about it. Now if you aren't a jaded curmudgeon then it's actually quite endearing and rather entertaining. I'm not making this review about him, but you should be aware of this very entertaining personality prior to walking in cause it's going to be on stage so to speak. The food.... we ordered the chicken parm and cheese tortellini, both were quite good with excellent house salads and delicious garlic bread. The prices are perfect for the portions and a refreshing change of pace if you've been gouged by the mouse all day of you know what I mean. We went at 7pm and it was winding down for their hours. Service was fast and cordial with the support staff working quietly and efficiently in the background. The interior was modern and dark. The outside is rather small in appearance with some interesting signage. You may question your restaurant choice on arrival but trust me, go inside, meet these characters and enjoy a darn good meal. Excellent Italian cake and tiramasu.
