Yes, this is a family owned Italian restaurant. We tried the buffet during the week and it was one of the BEST buffets we have ever had. All of the food was made from scratch and delicious. Salads, vegetables, pizza, lasagna, all kinds of Italian meat and pasta dishes...superb. This restaurant is...
Everybody raves about the pizza here, but I've had it several times now and have never been impressed. Rocco's is better - heck, order some Papa John's. It's not like you go to Bruno's for the ambiance anyway. I've been to two of their locations: pretty shoddy decorating, old grubby carpets, etc. Se...
The best Pizza in South Bend. However, the service is terrible. The waitresses are friendly, but the hostess and the people behind the register are not welcoming, I'm assumng it is the family? I have been going to Bruno's for over 20 years. Nothing beats Bruno's pizza but I would suggest carry ou...
We traveled to South Bend to attend a Notre Dame football game. Our hotel provided a publication from the South Bend Convention Bureau that described this restaurant as "South Bend's oldest Italian restaurant." It never occurred to us that enduring existence isn't a direct correlaton to the quality ...
It proximity to my hotel and attractive exterior pulled me in for dinner; the service while not overly attentive was adequate but I waited quite a while - perhaps 10 to 15 minutes between salad and entree without anyone noticing. When I recieved my Chicken Vesuvius, it was, sadly, fried hard on the...
Brunos is the worst! I agree with all the posted comments. The pizza is average and the service is awful due to the old lady sitting at the front. They are cheap as you can tell by the delapidated building, nonworking restrooms, the hassle if you use a credit card, and the overall unfriendliness. Th...
Very poor customer service! For a local pizzeria (there are many in the area), you would think that they would want to set themselves apart from the rest by offering excellent customer service. This is not the case with Bruno's. Ex) Upon arriving to pick up our order, I noticed that our exact order ...
My wife and I visited Sunny Italy Cafe a week ago. We are both working professionals in our early 30's. We arrived at 4:45pm just 15 minutes after opening. There was one couple (I'd say mid 40's) already seated. We were seated next to a drafty window and my wife wore her jacket for the entire meal....
Food was terrible and service was slow. Home style atmosphere left me feeling cheap. (but the bill did not!) I will never eat here again.
I have Celiac disease. We made reservations for 8 at 8:00 and were not seated until after 9:00.When we made reservations we were assured they cuod make most items on their menu gluten free even the pasta. When seated we were immediatlly told the kitchen was busy and there was no way they could make ...
