I went here once and had a great time for some place that wasn't too far away from home. My favorites was the Mozzarella in Carroza and the tiramisu. The service was great the waiter, buss boy and the owner frequently came by to make sure everything was going well. I will most definitely be returning.

This was my first time at Bruno's. We had a dinner reservation for Friday night at 8:45pm. We got there right at 8:45 and waited for 35 minutes. When we finally sat down the waiter took about 5-10 minutes to come over then took our drink order. It took about another 15 minutes to get our drinks. I could see our server standing at the bar the entire time. I worked at a restuarant for 3 years in Westchester county so I know what good service is. He could have taken our order then went back for our drinks because at that point it was 9:15pm and we were starving. We only order wine and sangria. I wonder if they were growing the fruit in the back or something. The bread they serve at the table was not good at all. We order the hot antipasti for our appetizer and asked our server for a portion size to share for the entire table and we knew it would cost more. There was 5 of us and little did we know it would cost us $60 which is 5 orders of it!!!! No one informed us of the price. The food was average. I wouldn't say it's the best and I am Italian so I would know. I would never return because the service was horrible. The manager didn't even offer us anything on the house for waiting so long, like most restaurants do including the one I worked at. Def won't be coming back!

Can we say Carosello part 2?
Party of 8 visited Bruno's ristorante on a Saturday evening. We didn't have to wait long to be seated. The ambiance is bright and light but formica style walls makes it seem a bit cheap.
We were immediately told about the spectacular pizza so we tried it as an appetizer. Overall nothing too spectacular about it, in fact the Margherita pizza was salty.
On to the main course, we order our food and 7 out of 8 dishes come out. We were told the 8th dish will come out in a second. So 7 people sit there with food in front of them as we wait for our complete party to be served. Unfortunately the wait was more like 3-4 minutes before the plate came out.
The food is very similar if not the exact replica from Carosello. Overall very blah and not exciting especially for the price of almost $35 per person.
To me, simply not worth another visit. For locals out there...if you didn't like Carosello, Bruno's is an exact replica with a different look.
Unfortunately, it did not win me and my guests over.
