What can I say... I'm a millennial who loves nostalgia…read more So when it came time to meet up with a dear friend back home, where else would we meet but Red Rose? We've both celebrated many a special occasion here in the 90s and this time was no different. I was extremely happy to see that absolutely nothing had changed. That kind of reliability is exactly what you want from your favorite restaurant back home. You basically want to leave it in a time capsule and walk back in after 30 years to find it right as you had left it. The place was bustling per usual. The server was fantastic. The wine was great. The house salad and house dressing were so good they made me want to scarf down vegetables. But the meatball grinder... THE MEATBALL GRINDER!!! (I now live in a place where we call them subs, but nothing compares to a good grinder.) It was culinary perfection: the bread was golden and crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. The perfect balance of bread, sauce, cheese, and meatball. And the flavor of the meatball itself was perfectly seasoned and balanced. I'm already 100 miles away and I'm still thinking about it and will be for days... weeks... MONTHS! Until next time

The place was hopping at 5:30 on a Sunday evening. We were in town to see Chelsea Handler and I'm…read moreglad we got there early. They gave us a buzzer, told us it would be about 25 minutes, and we went into the bar to have a glass of wine and wait. I must say the chaos was beautifully controlled. Lots of room in the bar, and a spot to order drinks if you couldn't get a seat at the bar. Generous pour on the wine. And sure enough, about 25 minutes later our table was ready. Waitress was friendly, helpful, professional. Servings were more than ample. Fried calamari appetizer was delicious, crispy, not at all greasy. My daughter really enjoyed her chicken dish. I, however, was disappointed, and I blame myself. I should know better than to order eggplant at a restaurant. If I'm ordering eggplant rollatini, I'd like to taste the eggplant. I don't know why restaurants insist on slicing it so thin that you can't actually taste the eggplant, just the breading. It's not that it's an expensive ingredient, it's gotta be cheaper than the cheese....anyway, I'd go back but hopefully I have learned my lesson - if I want to taste eggplant, I'll cook it myself.

Our waitress was wonderful and in top of it. The owner even came out to chat with us. What a wonderful establishment this place is. We will definitely be coming back to try another dish. thank you again.

Ugh... tough one. As…read morea New Yorker and former Brooklyn restaurant owner now living in Western Mass, I get it. Great pizza costs more. Good ingredients and real skill matter. Their pizza is way better than most pizza around here, so I think it's well worth the price. Staff was lovely, atmosphere and amenities are bright, clean, awesome. But... You can't redo the whole place, build a nice bar, put beer and wine signs everywhere, and then charge $7 for a Bud Light, $12 for a Jess, and $21 yes, $21 for a Tito's and soda. You're playing the short game. This is a neighborhood with working class families that would love to splurge and support your business - please consider that bar prices aren't listed and when they come on a tab and are double standard pricing it feels predatory. Not a good feeling.

I've had great cauliflower crust pizza at Di Nardo's so thought I'd try Bruno's. The crust was way overcooked and burnt in spots. I'm not really surprised because it was so thin that the toppings needed more cooking time than the crust. The flavor of the crust was flat and added nothing to the overall pizza. The cost was considerably higher and a waste of money. Stick with the regular crust.

Sadly. It's now open six days/ week, from 4 to 8, except 4 to 9 on Fridays and Saturdays. COVID-19 did a number on Milano's, as it did on so many other restaurants. One thing that hasn't changed is my 5-star rating. Service is outstanding, portions are Dagwood size, and recipes that have been in the family for generations make any meal a culinary memory. I had my usual chicken marsala w penne. Their cm is rivaled only by my nephew, Joey's. Entrees come w soup or salad. I opted for the Italian clam chowder. Delicious. My friend had chicken parm which she loved (and took about 75% home). No pix, as we left our phones in the car. If you like Italian, you should seriously try Milano's!
