    Calimari & Shrimp Lunch Combo
    Brit M.

    Earlier this week, we wanted to celebrate my coworkers birthday and picked a nice restaurant close by! We were greeted immediately upon entrance and sat quickly. The staff were very informative and nice! We saw and heard the specials before placing our order. It took a little longer than anticipated, but everyone's order was correct! As far as taste, it was decent. The food needed a little something. Even the sauce was a little bland. The service was very good though so maybe i will give them another try and just get another dish!

    This is my second time at Bruno restaurant. As expected service was wonderful. They made us laugh which was needed. Thank you Miguel (our server). All of the foods were delicious sadly I don't have a favorite. The right textures for foods, seasoned to perfection our compliments to the kitchen. Thank you to Nicky (Manager) whom came out to greet us, thank you. Most thank you to a dear friend whom treated my family and friends to this evening dinner. It was one of saddest days laying my mom to rest. To know a restaurant like Bruno was there with beautiful smiles and kindness as soon as you open their doors to kind service all through your stay there and down to the managers was a beautiful experience. Will definitely be back. The staff helped us with choices on dishes and food and wine/drink selection.

    Bruno's food is always consistently great. We ordered the salmon, shrimp Parmesan, tomahawk steak, and veal Milanese, and everyone loved their food. We came on a busy holiday, and our waiter was attentive, friendly, and gave great suggestions on what to order. We love how Bruno's shows you the meats, fish, and desserts so you know what you're getting before you order. Make sure to make reservations in advance, as they fill up quickly. I can't wait to visit again!

    Service was really good. Super quiet place with an open bar. The servers bring the different cuts of meats to the table for a little show and tell. They made suggestions not on the menu. Loved the crab cake. The chicken parm was gigantic and I had so much left over but the pasta portion was really small. The dessert was not great and clearly not fresh.

    The food, service, and the place is amazing. There is street parking and always sat down promptly. The ingredients are always fresh. The staff is friendly and stays on top of their tables. The place is always clean and nice. They bring out the specials on a tray for you to see. The pasta was so good with the perfect amount of sauce. I really enjoyed eating here and will be back soon.

    Such a cozy upscale Italian restaurant in Howard Beach. Service is top shelf, very attentive. Food is so appetizing!

    I do not think there are words to describe Bruno's. It is a classic restaurant with great service and great food. Standout dishes is the filet mignon pasta in a cream sauce. And you must save room for their tiramisu!

    Their courteous approach and delicious food are the best parts of my visit here. In simple words, when I'm tired, I just want to come here and eat and drink and go home... the power of the owner's hospitality spreading to all of the employees in his restaurant. If I ever move to somewhere a far from here but I want to come back and even bring more friends and family! Thank you for all you do here at Bruno's!!!' God Bless you all.

    Two shrimp combined were the same size as my lobster tail. Everyone at the table agreed $75, INSANE. It felt like the old bait and switch.

    I went to this place for my birthday with a small group of family. I was planning on getting the tomahawk steak, but then they came to the table with the Seafood special. They showed us a huge lobster tail. There was a lobster tail special. I am a big boy and I love my Seafood. So instead of doing Tomahawk, I decided to go with the lobster special. Well, it turns out the lobster special comes with only half of the lobster tail. And I'm sorry to say it was a complete joke because the lobster tail was the size of two shrimp combined. I was so disappointed and I told the waiter. You would have thought good customer service the owner or manager would've come over. But no one ever did. The lobster special was $75. It was a disappointing birthday dinner. Here is a picture of the lobster tail next to the shrimp. Can you tell which one is which?

    The photos reflect that there's pizza but the menus does not, am I missing something?

    The have pizza and it’s very good. I would go to several nearby places if you’re looking for a great slice. La Villa about 10 minutes from there has ( undoubtedly) the best slice in queens.… Read more

    Are all races welcomed in this restaurant?

    Yes all the Italian races are welcome 😉

    Do they do orders for takeout?

    Yes,they do take out orders

    Is it near the jfk air train? Walking distance?

    It's not by the train . It's on Crossbay blvd if that helps you

    Can you BYOwine?

    I am not sure as they have their own bar, so I doubt it. But you can call and ask.

    I can't seem to find a website for this restaurant. Has anyone hosted a party here before? What are their price points per person for a buffet menu with drinks?

    It depends on the menu you pick. They can do either or and are very flexible. Don't think they're on the low end on price but the food is outstanding. You can also include beer and wine or the full bar. They also have a separate party room.

Gino's did not disappoint. We got a small plate of bruschetta and cheese bread the minute we sat down, courtesy of the house. We got the special pizza that had meatballs, sausage, pepperoni, roasted red peppers, and mushrooms. We also got an order of spumoni. The 12-in pizza was more than enough for two people and filled with all the ingredients listed. I like sauce on my pizza, so I asked for a little extra on the side and it was so good I could have sucked it down without the pizza, which was hot and delicious! The small spumoni was a half scoop each of strawberry, chocolate, and pistachio ice cream. Not the official spumoni roll that I expected. The place was very packed and kind of noisy. The one thing that was noticeably lacking was the service. While it was efficient and fast there was no cordiality, it was just perfunctuary (no smiles, no kind words, nothing). Despite this, we would definitely recommend the restaurant because the pizza was excellent. We also welcomed the 20% lunch discount on the food. The bill was $30.57 for the pizza, ice cream, tax, and tip.
