" Had lunch with a friend at Bruna's and was floored by how tasty everything was! We shared the bruschetta and calamari first, then enjoyed the chicken marsala and ravioli, both outstanding. The service was quick and friendly. Highly recommend for your next meal. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Bruna's after hearing all the rave reviews, and they did not disappoint! The atmosphere was charming, reminiscent of Italian family gatherings, which I absolutely loved. The fettuccine alfredo was rich and creamy, and I couldn't resist trying their homemade tiramisu - the perfect finish to the meal! I will be back without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family here for dinner, and the atmosphere was utterly charming! We enjoyed various dishes, but the standout was definitely the shrimp fra Diavolo—spicy and delicious! The waitstaff was friendly although a bit stretched at the peak hours. Still, I'd gladly return to enjoy their delectable offerings. A lovely restaurant overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our recent visit to Bruna’s exceeded expectations. We celebrated our anniversary here, and the food was outstanding, especially the baked clams and linguine frutti di mare - both tasted incredibly fresh. However, the service was a bit slow, leading to a longer wait than anticipated. Nevertheless, the ambiance made up for it, providing a romantic setting for our special night. Looking forward to visiting again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a family dinner here, and it was delightful. The kids loved their pastas, while my partner and I enjoyed the rich flavors of the veal dish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for family gatherings. I only wish the service had been a little quicker; we seemed to wait longer than expected for our mains. " (*Curated Review*)
