   I’m so pleased to find Bruno’s open for business again. We were loyal, rabid fans when they were at Monaco and Evans, and after dining there last night I’m pleased to see they have not missed a beat. Nick, the owner, remains hands-on in the front of the house, making sure the service is on point, and the food came out perfectly. The sea bass special was outstanding as was everything else at the table. We are coming back again in 3 days.

   As usual Bruno’s delivers. Easy to like these guys. Good food, great service and an intimate atmosphere. Not a large noisy room with uncomfortable lighting. Enjoyed the wine selection. A regular spot for us!

   Service was great, friendly and prompt. Prices fair given today’s economy. Food was not bad but did not blow me away. Bread service was really good. Liked the sun dried tomato and garlic oil with the bread. Fried mozzarella was just ok and the fresh tomatoes on it were not seasoned and very out of place with the marinara. Tomatoes crave salt and there wasn’t much. I get that it was a fried capri/caprese style dish but instead of the twist, just make the best fried mozzarella and keep it simple. Marinara itself was good. Chicken Piccata was ok but capers needed rinsing during prep before being added to sauce… and while I happen to love capers it made the sauce too briny and overshadowed the brightness of the lemon. Chicken was cooked well and was good. Sauces were a bit watery and thin and needed to be reduced another minute or so and noodles were sadly overcooked. Soup was scorching hot, like ridiculously hot… burned my lips and tongue which was a bummer but I should have checked first so I blame myself. Everything needed salt. I hope this is more constructive than critical as I wanted to like everything and it clearly has potential with the space being as warm and inviting as it is. I’d give it another shot and you should too as it could have just been an off day. Please invest in some nice wooden pepper mills and not the King Soopers plastic pepper grinder. That was my least favorite part of everything.

    Bruno's was perfect for what we were looking for! We were bridal dress shopping just up the street and we wanted a quiet restaurant with delicious food and excellent service to review our dress options. We had the 2 specials of the day, sea bass with angel hair pasta and the lobster ravioli. I love that Bruno's does the old school of including a soup or a salad and delicious Italian bread with your entree. The pricing was reasonable. Angel provided excellent service as did everyone else in the restaurant. The ambiance was simple, quiet, and comfortable. I highly recommend this place!
