" I've been to a lot of Italian restaurants but Bruna's is something special! The homemade gnocchi and tiramisu were worth every penny. I appreciated the server's recommendations, which enhanced our meal. I can't wait to return with friends next month. Highly encouraged for anyone craving authentic Italian fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, the service at Bruna's wasn't up to my expectations. While the food was decent, the waiter seemed distant and we had to flag him down for refills. The meat sauce on my pasta could have used a bit more seasoning, even though the portion size was generous. Not sure if I’ll go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about the food here! The carbonara tasted so authentic, just like my Nonna made. Pair that with the lively atmosphere and friendly staff, and you have a perfect dining experience. I'm a regular now and intend to keep it that way! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible dining experience! Bruna’s combines old world charm with contemporary flair. From the garlic bread to the veal scallopini, every bite is delightful. And don’t get me started on the tiramisu! It's better than any I've ever had. Definitely a great choice for any occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hit or miss sometimes. The food can be fantastic, especially if you order the specials, but the service can vary from great to forgetful. I still love the atmosphere and find myself coming back for the carbonara and fried calamari. Just don’t expect consistency on every visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bruna's is my go-to Italian restaurant in Chicago! Everything I've had there is delicious, especially the thick crust pizza and the homemade pastas. My partner and I appreciate the cozy, intimate vibe as well—perfect for date nights. Always feel welcomed here, looking forward to my next visit. " (*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*)
