ABSOLUTELY THE BEST IN TOWN. FABULOUS SELECTION, GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND FLAVORFUL, FRESH SELECTIONS.
For pizza, I have to give this authentic Italian restaurant FIVE stars! This is the very BEST pizza I have ever had. Try their Italian sausage and add the mushrooms, green pepper, and onions to the pizza and you will be in heaven! They also have an excellent all you can eat buffet during the week...

I love this place!! Too bad it is so far on the south side of South Bend. They do have a couple locations that offer Bruno's pizza, but it just is not the same atmosphere and people who wait on you.
One of the best pizza's I have ever eaten!! AND a great value. The pizza pies here are HUGE!!!
Bruno's is the bomb! Best pizza I have ever eaten and I am Italian!!! Love the atmosphere...remodeling underway for restrooms. Great service...always with a smile! And Barnaby's won best pizza in South Bend? You have got to be joking!!! Bruno's is a South Bend tradition owned by a wonderful local fa...
What an outstanding meal! The combo salad was fresh and delicious. The sampler meal gave me fettucine, chicken parmesan and lasagna - they all get five stars! Service was excellent from the greeting at the entrance to the friendly waitstaff. This was my first time dining at Bruno's and I'll defi...
Absolutely wonderful! We were there last night to celebrate Valentine's Day (yes, a day late) for your dinner for 2. Purchased the coupon on Living Social so we could try out something new. It was unbelievable and well worth the drive from Goshen. Both husband and I got the sampler platter and h...
Best Italian food in the area, all dishes home made.
Just as there are many types and style of Italian dishes, so goes for Italian restaurants. I travel a great deal and try many different places to dine. I am very partial to Sunny Italy. Our families have been acquainted with each other for years. That being said, Sunny Italy is definitely not Ol...
We heard about Sunny Italy on the recommendation of a friend. The food was great, most definitly homemade. It is very obvious that this is a family owned and operated restaurant. From the time we arrive, with no reservation, we were welcomed with friendly and helpful people.
The staff was profe...
the best italian restaurant in south bend. We have been eating there since our student days at notre dame in the 1950's. their cooking and sauces are terrific. sunny italy is a family owned, local business and well worth a visit.
Terrific Italian. Was in SB for an ND game and enjoyed every aspect of our dining in this family-run restaurant.
Sunny Italy is the best Italian restaurant in the area. It has been operated by the same family for over 50 years. The food is consistently good, the service is excellent and there is a family feeling to the restaurant. It is excellent now and has been so, to my experience, for over 50 years.
I grew up and went to college in South Bend and left shortly after to move to Chicago. One of the very few things that I do miss about South Bend is Sunny Italy. I have been eating there since I was a child and it is by far my favorite restaurant in Indiana. I am planning to drive through Indiana la...
I love this place! Food portions are manageable and not each individual serving the size of "feeding a family of 4". The food is fresh, pasta is fresh and the staff does an incredible job serving MANY after a Notre Dame Game !!!! The staff is hard working and pleasant ALWAYS even under this pressur...
This is a great local/family owned restaurant with authentic and delicious Italian food. There is a lot I could say about the place, but to be honest, its one of those places that you need to check out yourself to really appreciate. My wife and I are personally fans of Mama’s Lasagna, with extra t...
the best italian food in northern indiana. the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. great for romantic dinners, banquets, and family occaisions. this restaurant is highly reccomended for good food, atmosphere, and a great dinning experience.
Fabulous - no reservations required on Thursdays (that's when we go). Best Italian food around - We Canadians (Hamilton , Ontario)go there every football year and have never been disappointed - will be in again on Oct.19(UCLA)-

This romantic Italian restaurant is a hidden gem! My husband and I discovered it last week, and if you love homemade Italian pasta, this is your place. Everything was delicious! I had their special of the day...a chicken dish, and their alfredo linguini is superb. There was beautiful Italian mus...
The pizza is the best in town. The service is the worst in town. I've eaten at the Prairie St. Bruno's 3 times, and all three times you felt you were forgotten about. I've also brought in coupons, and the owners grumble and make faces at you when you present them. Why have coupons then? Best thing t...
