Used to love Bruno's. Went a few days ago. The food and service was good, but two issues. We ordered two Tito Martinis. Each Martini was $17.99 - high but not crazy. The crazy part was we were charged an additional $14.99 for requesting Tito's. And, they charged an automatic 20% tip for our group of five. Would have given 20% but would prefer a choice. read more

We came here with out a reservation for a party of 2 on a friday evening. There was ample seating, a nice quiet environment with a view from the enclosed patio, so temperature controlled as well. The food was excellent, the photos of the menus available on here is up to date but I included the desert and coffee menu because I was looking for it before we came. The staff was so sweet, very professional and happy we were there. Shout out to our waitress Cristina for being so nice. Overall I enjoyed it and recommend it for a quiet dinner out! read more

Wednesday night and we had all the Italian feels. We were craving some delicious creamy pasta and crusty bread with a generous helping of butter- The bread did not disappoint! Thick slices of bread in a warm basket and butter for days.... I was very impressed with my chicken fettuccine Alfredo- large portion, creamy goodness. My friends were not very happy with the lack of flavor for their shrimp scampi. They did enjoy the large portions of shrimp. They split a dish because they were not hungry enough for their own entree. We did enjoy our time at Bruno's. When the check arrived we noticed a $10 split charge. This wasn't mentioned on the menu or by our waiter. The manger kindly removed it. That was not a highlight- it did kind of ruin our experience, but we appreciated the time the manger took to clear it up. We would understand if it was a policy or printed somewhere for us to see but this made us feel kind of like it was sneakily done. We were willing to look fast that read more

We dropped in last night and were lucky enough to get a table without a reservation. Brunos always provides a wonderful experience with top notch service. Our server, Carlos, was knowledgeable, friendly and very attentive. The sea bass I had was outstanding. Brunos never disappoints! read more

I had dinner with my son and daughter in-law tonight at Bruno's Ristorante and it was an amazing experience. Carlos was extremely gracious and helpful throughout the entire meal. I love how friendly all the staff was. I had great memories of when my boss, Rogers Shandley at Celanese Chemical, would take the secretaries to lunch at Bruno's for our birthdays. A great place, great boss, great friends and great memories. Thanks to Bruno and all the staff. Kitty Ehresmann read more

Always a good, predictable experience at Bruno's. Nice classic atmosphere with views of the canal. The (live) piano music in the background is a nice touch. While "Bruno's Special" was good enough, I'm not sure I'd order it again. Too many other options to try on return visits. read more

Consistently great food and great service! The ambiance is nice, with a live piano player on the weekends in the background (not too loud for hearing conversations). They've been great about adjusting my favorite dish to accommodate a food allergy. read more

The food here is great!! I was looking for some good eggplant parmesan and found it here.

Went to this restaurant for dinner on a Saturday night. The restaurant was not busy because we only saw 2 other tables with customers. Our waitress was not attentive. We told her this is our first time and the restaurant and told her we don't know what to order, she proceeded to give us more time to look at the menu but was hoping for her to give us recommendations but that was not part of her service. I ordered chicken alfredo and my friend ordered risotto. We had to ask her for the complimentary bread when our food arrived. She did not give it to us willingly. She did not ask if we wanted a drink other than the water that was provided in the beginning. I wanted a glass of wine but did not order because she did not ask and we were already ready to leave. When my friend went to the restroom, she saw our waitress at the bar drinking wine. WOW but could not even ask if we wanted a soda or wine. TWhen we left, there were other staff by the door and NO ONE told us "thank you" " good night" not even our own waitress! It was dead silent and we never felt so unwelcome! Never again!! We were so mad we decided to take our chance to eat here since it was only 10 minutes away. The food was okay but the service is horrible. The check had a name of Figuera and I am guessing that is the waitress name or maybe it was the lady who brought us water. The waitress is an African lady with some sort of french accent?? This place will never get a penny from me ever again. read more

I came here for my bookclubs Christmas dinner party, and it was perfect. They had enough space for about 23 people; they gave us two separate servers, and one, in particular, was just amazing. I hate I can't recall his name, but we received exceptional service. The Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo was super tasty, and I LOVED the cheesecake. read more

I dunno, maybe an off night? I ordered quite a few dishes to go and everything was so so bland. Like no flavor at all. We ordered toasters lobster ravioli, risotto, Pomodoro, lasagna. All bland. read more

Let me just say that the service is EXCELLENT. My husband just moved to Irving for his job and his neighbors have taken him under his wing and this is their local spot for dinner and come here weekly. My husband often joins them (But he won't let ME repeat restaurants and become a regular!!) Anyway, I was in town for a visit and was pretty cautious about going out during COVID. At this point I had so far refused many invites, and they said the tables are far apart and it would not be crowded. Both true. I ordered the chicken with the eggplant and it was very good - not quite as heavy as some other Italian dishes, and I have never seen that combination before. A perfect portion, just a little bit too large. LOL NOTE - the Martinis are HUGE! They have a live piano player on Fridays (Not sure about other nights), and it seems you can get most of the menu for lunch slightly cheaper. read more

We came her because we were celebrating a birthday. If it was not for the service or the view, I could have easily rated this place a two star. For the appetizer we ordered the shrimp and fried zucchini. The shrimp had completely no flavor and if it wasn't for the sauce to dip it wouldn't have been appetizing. The zucchini was served with a side of marinara which tasted straight out of a can. There was also complimentary bread which tasted like left over microwaved bread. For the entree I ordered the orange roughy which was served with a side of rice and artichokes. I ordered a side of steamed veggies and the carrots were rock hard and luke warm at most. Others in my party ordered the chicken parmesan which was served with penne pasta. They stated the pasta tasted from a box and the marina lacked seasoning. For dessert we tried the tiramisu and chocolate cake. Both were mediocre at best. Unfortunately all the dishes lacked any flavor and after reading a few reviews it was quite disappointing. There are photos of celebrities photographed in the restaurant which seemed dated and possibly there has been a change in the chief because the food would not have anyones recommendation in my opinion. read more

I was expecting more tbh. The apps were ok. The mushroom app was the star. Lobster ravioli linda bland w/o marinara. Service was great. The mains were again ok. Had brunos special and the shrimp scampi. Duckhorn merlot of course. And not a bad price for the bottle under 100. For the hype and price point i was just expecting more. read more

I had heard a lot of hype about this place and I was excited to try them and came here with a group of friends from work. When you first walk in it's pretty impressive. Right in the entryway are pictures of the owner with several of the Dallas Cowboys including the owners and every coach. When you walk into the dining room it is elegant with beautiful views for the area. It overlooks one of the canals in the Valley Ranch area and create a scenic setting for a pleasant lunch while overlooking the water and the pathways around the water. The service was good and the warm bread that they bring you what is soft I am delicious. I ordered the lemon chicken piccata. I have a real problem when I pay almost $15 for a piece of chicken that is fatty. You cannot tell me that no one in the kitchen notice this when they were preparing the chicken breasts. I would say about one-fifth of my chicken breast was inevitable because of the fat it was grisled with. Overall though the taste was good and everything else about the experience was pretty decent so I will probably be back again and give them another try and adjust my review accordingly. read more

This has to be the most romantic restaurant in the Metroplex. It's hidden away in a small shopping center in Valley Ranch. The service is so gracious and every dish I've had is amazing. Ask to sit on the enclosed patio. You'll have a view of the canal and walking path. read more

While appetizers and entrees were well prepared and tasty, the service felt rushed, even though it was a relatively uncrowded Friday night. Live piano music was too loud, in the forefront rather than in the background. A pleasant experience but could have been better. Points off for not acknowledging the occasion (wedding anniversary), even though it was noted on the Open Table reservation. read more

My husband and I tried this place for the first time and it was less than a one star rating. The bread was soft as if it was microwaved with odd texture. We also pulled a long hair out of the bread basket! Our appetizer was flavorless (lobster ravioli) so we sent it back. Our meals were flavorless so we sent them back! I asked the waiter what was going on and he sent the owner over. The owner didn't apologize, he defended the food and just took them off the check. We will never be back. The chicken was rubbery, the meal had no flavor, the veggies came out of a can and the meal looked like a TV dinner but tasted worse! read more

Locals probably already know this place but as an out-of-stater I happened upon it. Everything was delicious (including the bread) sauce made in-house including the Caesar salad dressing. read more

Bruno's Ristorante - Outside patio!! - Italian Near Me - Irving, Texas

We visited Brunos Restaurant on a Wednesday at 5:00 PM, the ambiance, is that of a restaurant that wants to be upscale. Everything is nice, but old, I imagine this was super nice back in the day. Now, the main reason I go to a restaurant is the food, there was 7 tables with customers, most of them couples, with one table with 8 people. Not too busy, for the size of the place. There was 3 people in our table, and we ordered a wedge salad, eggplant, fried calamari, and spaghetti with meat balls, nothing exotic. The server delivered the water, bread and drinks promptly and with a smile... and that was about it that it was promptly, the food took about 35 minutes and the calamary never came. The food was nothing to write home about, and the prices are high for what you get. read more

In this area this is by far the best Italian one can find. The setting is serene and romantic. Can be great for family or corporate events. I would suggest making reservations. Although during the week it is usually light. The food is fresh and savory. Their wide selection is key. The sauce and pasta are made often and one can tell how much effort they put into it. I see the piano player live there on a regular basis and we also have gotten takeout. Enjoy! read more

Love this place! My husband and I live in the neighborhood and love to walk down the canal to Bruno's to enjoy the ambiance, food, and wine! Service is great and we never feel rushed through our courses. Love the calamari, the orange roughy, and the cheesecake--ask for limoncello on your cheesecake for only a buck extra; it's so yummy. read more

It looks really nice on the inside very romantic, we sat on the closed off patio near the canal. We started with lobster ravioli, it was pretty good. We then got a shrimp pasta and a chicken lasagna. I'd been wanting the chicken lasagna since my birthday and it lived up to the hype, I really liked it. I had some of the shrimp pasta, it was also very good. They do a good job of making it always seem fancy, I'll definitely go back. read more

I was surprised to find this restaurant in the location it is - a strip mall. However, the interior and live music were lovely. We had a nice dinner overlooking the canal. The food was very good and the service was nice. I'd come back if we're in the area for dinner. read more

So thankful for this wonderful restaurant in our neighborhood! Bruno's offers an elegant ambience -- but will also welcome you in with jeans or sweats -- and the pianist on weekend evenings is amazing! This family-owned and operated restaurant has been in business for over 30 years for a reason. The food is phenomenal and the staff treats everyone like family. Never have I ever seen a restaurant with almost no staff turnover. It's easy to become "a regular" here -- and I suggest you do :) You'll love it! read more

One the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to...upon entry to closing the check hands down awesome experience. The owners to wait staff all are best at their craft. A definite go to place whenever in town. Oh the food is divine! read more

I ordered the Pasta Mia with angel hair and meatballs, it was very filling. I would order this again it was appetizing, not the best pasta I have had though (I had to add a little bit of salt) My friend ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana, the eggplant was a bit hard for her tasting. For appetizer, we ordered Bruschetta. This was my first time having Bruschetta, however, I don't think I would order this again. It was a bit too bland for my liking. read more

Tender veal medallions with lemon, house salad, complimentary warm bread all delicious. We sat at the table near the large window overlooking the canal it was a fabulous.

Top Favorite. If you are in Las Colinas or Coppell area, you must go to Bruno's!!! Jose the Chef is incredible! Even wears that great y'all white chef hat. Rudy our favorite waiter of all time, makes every wish come true! Bruno's Pasta is my favorite. Steaks are superb. Fresh fish with Jose touches aren't to miss. You must end the night with one of Rudy's special coffee drinks. You'll throw rocks at others once you taste the delight of Rudy's coffee drink! We love Bruno's and consider it our home away from home! Nothing rivals Bruno's! read more

Was searching for a place to meet siblings between Dallas & FW. Took a chance on Bruno's after reading reviews. So glad we did. Classy, old school Italian place with great food & service. It was the weekend so they had a piano player. We were a little early but not noisy at all. Even at peak times I think the noise level would be acceptable for a conversation. Pretty view of the canal & easy to locate. No complaints at all. We have found a new place to meet!! read more

The food is okay. Could use more flavor. Ambiance is nice though. The shrimp didn't have much of a taste, the sauce was good. The pasta was also mediocre. read more

Im.not sure where all the negative reviews were coming from but after reading them I wasn't looking forward to going to Bruno ' s for a company dinner. Thank goodness I was pleasantly surprised. First the service was awesome. We had 34 people in our party. The serving staff was on point. The whole dinner service flowed very smoothly. Kudos to the staff. Now the food. We started our meal with bruschetta bread and calamari. The bread was good, the calamari was excellent. The seasoning on the calamari was so savory and it was fried just right. The marinara was fresh and tasted homemade. I split a caprese salad with someone and ot was plenty for both. The tomatoes were fresh as was the mozzarella. For dinner I had the risotto. I confess I'm a risotto snob and hard tonplease. I loved their risotto! It was creamy and delicious. The flavors of the mushrooms were excellent. The at some here of the party room was good for events. The restaurant itself was romantic and a great place for date night. read more
