" I can’t say enough about how yummy the food was! Every dish we ordered was flavorful and packed with such high-quality ingredients. I had the special of the day, which was homemade lasagna. It was fantastic. We arrived close to closing time and were still treated warmly and served beautifully. Every bite felt like a hug. Definitely a bit of a wait, but I would say it was worth it once the food arrived. I’ll be returning soon for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend suggested we try Bruno's, and it was an excellent choice! The ambiance is charming – like walking into a cozy Italian home. I tried the chicken parmesan, and it was both huge and delicious! However, we did have to wait longer than expected for our food to arrive. Our server was sweet but seemed overwhelmed with the number of tables. It didn't detract too much from the experience since the food was fantastic. Next time, I know to order lighter because the portions are gigantic! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience at Bruno's. The meatballs sounded amazing, but they turned out to be bland and dry. The staff was friendly, but service felt disorganized. My salad arrived after my entree, and there was a mix-up with our orders. I was looking forward to the tiramisu for dessert, but they were out by the time we finished our meal. The staff apologized, but it didn't make up for the experience. I probably won’t be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Bruno's was indeed memorable. The moment I entered, I was greeted with a friendly smile, which set a nice tone for the evening. The pasta I ordered – a carbonara – was creamy and rich, but the portion was slightly less than expected. The dessert, a chocolate lava cake, was heavenly! I would highly recommend it to anyone who sweetens their meal with dessert. The ambiance could be a bit noisy, but overall, I’d say it was a pleasant visit with great food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic experience at Bruno's. The pasta dishes were delightful and bursting with flavor, especially the penne alla vodka. The ambiance was intimate, creating the perfect setting for a dinner date. The only downside was the server seemed overwhelmed; we had to flag him down for the check. Regardless, I would definitely go back, it’s worth it for the good food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon Bruno's while searching for a new dining spot in Fort Myers, and boy, what a find! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a charming ambiance that felt like we were back in Brooklyn. We both ordered pasta dishes, the homemade fettuccine was divine – perfectly al dente and smothered in a rich bolognese sauce. And let’s talk about the portion sizes; we definitely had enough for leftovers! Our server, Dee, was attentive without being overbearing, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. We can't wait to come back and try the famous meatballs next time! This is certainly a gem of a restaurant that deserves all the praise it gets. Highly recommend making a reservation as it fills up fast! Overall, a solid 5-star experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bruno’s restaurant is a little slice of Italian heaven! I had the most incredible dining experience here. The food was absolutely divine, especially the handmade pasta. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite! The service was friendly and welcoming, and I felt like part of the family as they treated us with such kindness. I'd recommend ordering the stuffed mushrooms for starters; they were crispy and loaded with flavor. The only downside is that the restaurant is small and fills up quickly so make sure to make a reservation! Worth every penny and I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
