So second time getting Bruno's. There pizza, Alfredo, stuffed mushrooms. Bland. Bland bland. BUT.... The bread pudding... wow. Way to make up for no flavor. read more

The food was mid. Lasagna has too much ricotta cheese. Chicken P was alright. The ambiance of the place was good. read more

A local hot spot near HEB on Dowlen road. Plenty of parking so life is good. A dark interior with a chalkboard specials. They do take out delivery and dine in. We went without reservations since it was an anniversary dinner we kept it intimate. The front area seats you with a wine list and the menu mirrors the web site. It seems a lot of web sites have a menu and when you get there they have a different venue. Don't expect a sommelier level of wine expertise in this town. The manager without identifying herself on title checked on us and others. It's an Italian predominately menu with steak and seafood. We opted for seafood fare. I had the Red Snapper and Risotto. The better half the Shrimp and Scallops Cremona. Both were very good so a rerun visit is indicated. They were seasoned but not overpowering. We go here perhaps not as often as we should. They seem to be able to accommodate larger groups and there was a separate room in the back. The bar area is off to the side again with the glowy board specials throughout the establishment. Sorry skipped dessert so can't comment there. I thought it compared with other family run restaurants in predominately Italian neighborhoods without the 20 page menu. Yes the places I went had a few options other than Italian or a mixed grill. read more

Well, we are officially in Souptober and I kicked it off with a delicious lunch at Bruno's Italian Kitchen with my grandson. I enjoyed their tomato basil soup --warm, flavorful, and comforting--and paired it with a Caesar salad topped with shaved Parmesan that was absolutely fantastic. Kellen went with the Meat Lovers 10-inch pizza on cauliflower crust . It was thin, fresh, loaded with meats, and he gave it two thumbs up! One thing I love about Bruno's is that they feature a different soup daily for both lunch and dinner. Their lunch menu is affordable, filling, and full of tasty options , making it a perfect spot to enjoy with family or friends. The ambiance is beautiful , and our waitress Veronica gave us top-tier service with a smile. If you haven't been to Bruno's in a while, I encourage you to stop by soon. They are Best Bites approved! read more

They start by actually serving people. We were seated in a relatively empty section and waited 10 minutes, we never saw a server in that section, no one ever checked on the 3 other tables in that section. Our drink order wasn't even taken so we walked out. We want to support local businesses but how can you when the staff is absent and the staff that is there is oblivious to what is and is not going on. read more

I ordered veal marsala which of that other restaurants and loved it this stuff when they brought it to my table there was no Marsala sauce on it. It was brown gravy with mushroom and spaghetti. The veal was so tough I couldn't chew it. I needed to grind it to eat it. My brother had ordered another plate and it had the same gravy poured all over it. It was nasty. He wouldn't eat his. He said it was gross. I left mine there too. It was gross. It was not veal marsala. The staff was very friendly very nice. The building was very romantic, but I did not enjoy my meal. read more

A family member took us here for lunch. I was told this place has been open for some time. The appearance is immaculate. 100% Italians vibes everywhere. They seem to have live music at night on certain days. Loved that aspect. Now onto the food. I ordered a 12" margarita pizza with a side salad. I also tried my mom's eggplant dish. The pizza didn't have much flavor along with my mom's eggplant. Everything was very bland. While I did admire the ambiance of this classic styled Italian restaurant, the food wasn't what I expected. Nonetheless, it was a great time with family. read more

Food missing iny order. she manager and staff personnel blamed the problem on me the customer saying I must have dropped a bag of food on my way home. Absolutely ridiculous. If this your way of solving a problem that a customer has I refuse to be your customer ever again. And I'll let everyone I know how you operate when a customer is missing food that they ordered read more

The service was extremely slow, and this is the farthest thing from authentic Italian food that I've ever eaten. My great grandparents immigrated here from Sicily so I know what real authentic Italian food taste like. I can't understand why this restaurant is still around. read more

At a birthday party in the banquet room. My elderly mom came & doesn't eat much so I share my food with her & then was told since I shared it , it would be $35 for her to eat my food or order an entree for her. So basically they forced me into buying an entree for her when she didn't want to eat much. Will never be back! read more

Very good good...it's a must go and see...Also has great workers and and places to sit. Must go check it out.

Okay, I'll admit it. After "Encanto" was released, whenever this Italian restaurant a mile past Parkdale Mall comes up, one of us says "We don't talk about Bruno's, no no no." This, even though we had never eaten there. That changed when we returned from a weekender in Galveston. We got back early enough to eat lunch somewhere, it was Fathers Day, so we went to Bruno's. I remain shocked that there are so few pizza places in the Coonie Triangle. Bruno's is not a pizza place, but it does have pizza for sale. So we got a 16-inch meat lovers. We were all pretty impressed with what we got. Good strong flavor, not greasy, good amount of meat, it filled the two ladies up and I came close. The inside is as refined as it looks on the outside. Many suits - several families came here straight from church - but we weren't out of place with our more casual clothing. Slightly dark, many painting and plastic greenery all around. And the girl wants to come back because Jada, our waitress, is also into anime and old Disney (Disney before they stopped family entertainment and became leftist propagandists), and the two became fast friends. Bruno's is not a place I'm bragging about. But the food we had was very good indeed. And a large pizza & 3 Cokes was only $30??? That's great. The atmosphere says that it should be more $. So, what gift did the Madrigals give this Bruno? The gift of solid, tasty, well-priced Italian food. read more

I would give this 5 stars for the Spaghetti Works. It has meatball and sausage in a meat sauce. The sauce is addictive. I love when my spaghetti is drenched in sauce and everytime i get it which is 3x since July 2024 it has never failed me! The reason for the 3 star was their special of the day. I went for my bday at Bruno's for the first time. It took them awhile to seat and serve us. We just sat ourselves since we stood there for quite sometime and we dont know if we needed to be seated. That day they might be understaffed not sure. I ordered Ossobucco with risotto and fresh veg. Been looking forward to eating this. Meat is still undercook. Needed a little more time. Falls of the bone but the meat is still tough not shreddy and soft. Rissotto was a disappointment. They used risotto rice to serve a side of cooked rice. As you can see in the picture its dry and not at all creamy as a rissotto should be. This is not rissotto. The vegetables are fresh and crispy just to my liking. Mom ordered the special of veal chops. Presentation wise it looks so delicious. But she said that the meat was tough. Potatoes and vegetables are great! The 5 star Lunch Pasta: well price for lunch Spaghetti Works is a MUST Chicken Florentine is good. Chicken Venito is a spicy cream and marinara sauce. Delicious! Sausage and Pasta is also good... marinara sauce is GOLD. By the way they serve focaccia bread and theyre soft and delicious!!!! Perfect for dipping into the sauce. Ambience: only been for lunch. Its well lit. Good for groups, party, family and dates. Service: asides from my first visit the staff has been attentive, nice and well mannered. read more

We hosted our son's rehearsal dinner at Bruno's. The menu provided a lot of choices and we also had choice of salad or soup. Everyone talked about how great the food was! I had the shrimp linguini and my wife had the ribeye. They provided a staff person for each table which was great, and the table decorations provided a nice setting for the dinner. read more

This was our first time here, and my wife laughed when I ordered pizza! I told her it's the best way to test how good an Italian restaurant is. If they can't make a pizza, they can't make anything. But wow what a pizza! Was exactly how I imagined (and I used to live and work in CT & NYC, where pizza is taken seriously). The service was excellent, and the starter was without words. Could not have been better. Ambiance is definitely one of the things Beaumont has been missing. Perfectly decorated, warm and cozy. read more

This is my 2nd time there, I like to try the same place multiple times and not go off of one review alone. My first time there the seafood Italian dish I had was very delicious. This time I ordered an Angel Pasta over Chicken, the presentation was very nice, but there was not much taste to it, there was plenty left over to take home, so I can season it to my taste but was very bland. The service was received that day was surprisingly very very good, I say surprisingly because it was a young Hispanic male, couldn't of been more than 20 maybe 22 years old, he didn't write anything down, memorized everything, didn't have to ask for anything and was spot on. Incredible service. read more

It's sad that such a good looking place with an excellent Italian singer was basically terrible. The minestrone soup was bland with tasteless veggies and the pasta could not have been more overcooked. If I wanted I could eaten this soup with a straw! The chicken picatta was drenched in lemon butter sauce and was dry. read more

Very friendly staff that was willing to let me order off of the limited group menu. We had a large group event so they were only offering a limited menu. However, none of the options were vegan friendly. The server was very understanding and accommodating. She explained that the kitchen could make me a vegan pasta dish and allow me to sub salad for the soup as a starter. Every table was given a basket of bread and olive oil with herbs for dipping. Everyone raved about how good it was. The salad I didn't eat. Not because I didn't like it, but because I wasn't hungry. I was there for an event and had eaten prior to showing up. The pasta dish which consisted of zucchini, squash, mushrooms, peppers and red sauce was flavorful and good. I didn't eat the angel hair pasta but did eat the veggies. Probably won't return as I'm not a huge fan of Italian food and pasta, but seems to be a solid choice if in the area. read more

Bruno’s Italian Kitchen - we stoped here for Christmas and we came in and i ordered a pizza and overall i would rate this restaurant a 9.7 out of 10. - Italian Near Me - Beaumont, Texas

I enjoyed the shrimp my wife had red snapper which she said was great Cheese dip was great. Alfredo was just ok. Service was slow we asked for a togo order and they never bothered to put the order in. For the money I would expect a better quality for the alfredo... better service. We paid 180. For 2 meals an apetizer and 3 drinks that they upcharged by 12 a piece. Wont be back read more

Here on deployment with red. Ross. Looking for a good meal- definitely not disappointed. I had the risotto with shrimp and my friend the special is so buco-- both superb! We also ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms with the spicy lemon sauce- omg - gooey yumminess. Service was excellent and Covid social distancing was in place. Felt safe and left feeling full and tired, ready to hit the bed for a good nights sleep to begin the day helping once again. Would definitely be back during our stay here. read more

Ok foodies, I have an update to my previous negative review. There was a mixup in communication and management did address all concerns to our satisfaction. Have since visited Brunos's several times and am very pleased with the quality and consistency of the food and drinks. The response was consistent with a family owned local establishment which I'm recommending we support. I'm very pleased with the outcome. read more

We ate at Bruno's last night. Good news: my wife got the grilled snapper- very good, with ample grilled veggies. Bad news: they were out of the risotto that was to be included with each our dinners. They substituted angel hair pasta, no sauce, no butter, no olive oil, no nothing- straight from the boiler. Really bad news: I ordered the special of the evening, the veal chop. What they gave me was a large center cut pork chop Instead. I cook a LOT, and I know the difference. For a $35 bait-and-switch, I was not pleased. I was in a large (20 people) dinner party and didn't want to make a scene. I paid the ticket (20% tip was added on) but spoke to the manager on the way out. She of course denied it. Our total ticket was in excess of $120 for two. She didn't seem to care. read more

I just need to tip my hat to this amazing business. These people went above and beyond to help my church with a fundraiser to help our teenagers go to teen camp. We held a spaghetti dinner fundraiser and Bruno's hooked us up with lots of bread, salad, and ranch dressing, they were so generous. On top of their amazingly tasting food, this business showed true class and a genuine love for their community. This is my go-to Italian food place from now on!!! read more

Awful. Terrible. The boy at the front must be the owners son or nephew. Came in on a Saturday at 1 pm for lunch. Place was dead. Not even a quarter full. The young man at the front had his legs up and was on his phone on a clearly personal call. It took him a good 2 minutes to acknowledge us. did he get off his phone? Stop giggling like a school girl? Nope. Acknowledge us verbally? Nope. Waves us to a table in the corner. Nothing verbal out of this "hospitality professional". We wait.... And we wait..... Still more waiting..... Ordered finally, got the food. Awful. Could not find the server to pay the check. Had to interrupt the sons owner at the front again to request it. awful. read more

Service was decent, ticket times were good enough, but the food was completely trash. Ordered the sampler which was bland. The chicken from the sampler was undercooked and skin was gummy. The only thing edible there was the ravioli which was awesome imo. Ordered calamari, which was undercooked and gummy as well. It lacked seasoning, and pretty much all they do is put romano/parm cheese on top. The bread with the oily paste was horrible as well. Bread was not crunchy, no flavor on the bread, and the olive oil garlic paste also was over saturated with oil and little garlic. When you dip your bread in, you taste straight olive oil, no garlic, no seasoning. Ordered the Hawaiian wave and the sangria margarita. The Hawaiian wave was too sweet, and not balanced enough. The sangria margarita was good imo. My wife ordered the chicken parm sandwich, i ordered the Tour De France, and a small cheese pizza for the kids. All the food was bland. The angel hair pasta that comes with the Tour de France was extremely bland, tasted like reduced heavy cream with no seasoning (not even parsley ontop), chicken parm from the tour de france and the chicken parm also lacked any seasoning. It was completely disgraceful. My tour de france came with a lentil soup which was good. The lasagna was decent but there could of been more potential with the dishes. Pizza bland as well. Pizza folded on itself when picked up, sauce had no flavor, and overall just trash. The prices were kinda pricey, and i was extremely disappointed with the lack of seasoning. AGAIN... Service and ambiance were adequate enough, but if you seeking authentic level quality flavor at a italian spot, i would not come here. Lastly, as for service the waiter didnt take plates and cups that were consumed in a timely manner or at all. My bread basket, plates, and soup bowls and sampler plates were there the whole stay, which is not great, especially with the limited table size. DEFINITELY WONT EVER COME BACK HERE read more

What's not to like? Nothing! You know your home as soon as you sit down, the owner and staff are delightful

Good food, reasonably priced. Makes a great date night restaurant. Service with a smile helps as well.
