   As always, Bruno's is an excellent choice for dinner. This time I was seated in one of the three booths with overhead heaters. The service and food was excellent and their limoncello was outstanding,.

   Food quality was excellent. It's a noisy restaurant, but that fits in with the vibe of the faux downtown commercial street it is on. Our table was ready for us within 10 minutes of the reservation time. It was a Saturday night, so--with the perpetual shorthandedness of all restaurants these days--it was not surprising that the hot food did not arrive at our table as hot as I would like. Staff were professional and handling the very busy situation very well, but it was clear they were really scurrying to keep up.

   My friend and I came for her birthday. The food was delicious! Arancini, lasagna and parpadelle Bruno, delicious. The server was wonderful, attentive, friendly, and professional. The place has a warm atmosphere, and the sound level is perfect. You can hold a conversation without worrying that everyone can hear you. In other words, not too loud, but not silent. Excellent restaurant, will definitely visit again!

   First time visit, Brunos was highly recommended by friends. We came in on a Wednesday evening when they were having 25% off their pasta dishes. Let me tell you, the food was amazing! The service was amazing and the atmosphere was amazing. We will definitely come back and try more on the menu. Some of the best Italian food we ever had, I had the spaghetti with meatballs and my wife had the lasagna. The pasta was made fresh, sauces were on a whole different level and the staff was attentive, friendly and made you feel like family. I can understand why Brunos is a beloved restaurant in downtown Brea. I think we just found our favorite Italian restaurant!

   Another excellent night at Brunos. Service from Damian was energetic, helpful and prompt. We had the chopped salad to start, and it did not disappoint. The salad was fresh and seasoned perfectly. We had two orders of the Shrimp Crab Fettuccini and one order of Lasagna. The pasta was tasty, came out hot, the fettuccini had five or six large shrimp, the noodles were perfectly cooked, firm not soggy. The Lasagna was tasty as usual! Plus, the half price bottle of wine made the night perfect. It was my daughters first time at Brunos and Damian made her feel welcomed by making pasta recommendations and providing some Tiramisu for dessert. Brunos always excels with excellent service, pleasant atmosphere and well flavored high-quality entrees.

   Everything was fantastic. The only thing that I would say that took away from the evening was the noise level. I understand. that people are going to talk and as more people do, the louder it gets but I think that keeping the music volume lower would have helped. Also, they allow dogs in their small patio area and it was barking a bit. I think if that happens, it should not be unreasonable to ask the owner to remove the pet as it was quite loud. That being said, it's still one of my favorite places in Brea. Will defiantly go again.

    We had a 6pm Saturday Date Night here on 12/7/24. The Hostess seated us on time, and the food was delicious. Definitely a neighborhood gem.
