About the restaurant

Bruno’s Ristorante has been a fixture in the neighborhood for many years. We’ve enjoyed entertaining everyone from nearby residents to business guests to the Dallas Cowboys (until recently) and those who travel from further away.

Bruno Ceka started this establishment over 25 years ago, and has been actively involved since its beginning. Bruno is an enthusiastic businessman who loves working in and serving the local community. He’s had several business ventures in the area over the years, but his passion has always been here, at Bruno’s. Most days you’ll see him welcoming you in the dining room.

Denton

About the restaurant

In 2001, Hannah's opened its doors in the heart and soul of Denton. Now, over two decades later, our establishment has grown with support of our community. What once started in a simple space on Hickory Street now resides within these historic walls that was formerly a blacksmith, fostering an eclectic cuisine that mirrors the artistic essence of Denton. Locally owned and operated by the same owner, ensuring unwavering commitment to Hannah’s and support to community outreach.

We take pride in collaborating, as much as possible, with local farmers, ranchers, and businesses to bring you the finest offerings. Our dedication extends to the selection of wines, coffee, spices sourced from smaller producers to provide our customers with a distinctive and curated experience.

Chef Anton, with 25 years of global culinary experience, leads our kitchen with creative mastery. Trained in Europe, having worked internationally, he now calls our local community home. Enjoy his inspired creations.
