Outstanding service from everyone we encountered. We sat at the bar and watched chef Bruno and his crew make fresh made to order Italian pasta like it was art. The food was the best I’ve ever had. Meatballs were incredible. Be sure to try their calamari. We had never tried escargot before- it was delicious- will order that again. I found this restaurant as I was coming out of jury duty and thought the restaurant looked intriguing. I was right, it reminded us of the times that we had been in New York City. Thank you for the best food and atmosphere for our night out.

I can’t believe this my first time here. It definitely won’t be my last. I grew up eating homemade authentic Italian food. Bruno’s is by far the next best thing. Everything was delicious and the portions were HUGE!!

Chef's counter is the best seat in the house! Watching the magic happen is amazing and helps you decide on what to eat or just order something extra. Everyone is friendly and very welcoming! Worth the visit every time!

I love this place. I had homemade sauce with homemade meatballs and handmade pasta from scratch, it was so good. I highly recommend the meatball appetizer. This is a must for Fort Myers, they are expanding and growing into another location because they are great.

Y’all!!! This is some of the best Italian food I’ve had since going to NY. Please call to make reservations because they are booked. The service was great! The hostess squeezed us in without a reservation and all the servers worked together to provide top notch hospitality. The food…you have to try for yourself because words can’t describe the goodness it holds. The ingredients are fresh and cooked to perfection! They have monthly events for the community so you should check it out.

This was our fourth time. I live out of town but make it a point to visit whenever I'm down here. The food is always delicious. I love the homemade pasta. Their elk was to die for. My friend loved his lobster- he said it was the best he ever had.
