★★★★★ 5.0 Hailey White · Jan 2026

We used Bruno’s for our wedding catering and it was hands-down one of the best decisions we made. The event coordinator was amazing to work with — communicative, organized, and made the entire process feel effortless. On the day of the wedding, the team truly went above and beyond, delivering the food to us and even helping with setup, which took so much stress off our plate. Now let’s talk about the food… unreal. Everything was absolutely delicious, and our guests would not stop talking about it all night. The eggplant parm deserves its own shoutout — people were genuinely raving about it and going back for seconds (and thirds). The dessert tray was completely wiped out by the end of the night, which says it all. They also graciously accommodated a gluten-free option, which our guests re

We had a wonderful meal last night. 6 of us, plenty of space, great quality, food and prices. Good drinks. I had the rigatoni Vodka pasta. It was amazing. The waiter was awesome. Amazing food. Definitely, a must try if you're visiting Portland.

★★★★★ 5.0 Caitlynn Downs · Jan 2026

We love Bruno’s. Delicious food - Amazing service - and consistently. My family has been going there for years. We had my husband’s birthday gathering there this evening. I’ve brought all my college roommates to dine here over the years. Not many restaurants in Portland have parking like this establishment does and that’s a huge plus for me. Super friendly. Everything is yummy. 10/10.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jim Troxell · May 2025

Bruno’s has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, but the food was mediocre and definitely not worth the price. Portions were average, flavors were bland, and nothing really stood out. It feels more like you're paying for the setting than the meal. If you're just stopping in for a drink, it's fine—but for dinner, there are better options nearby for the same or less.

★★★★★ 5.0 Dennis MacPhail · Jan 2026

Stopped here while traveling from Bangor Maine to Boston. Read online that the children parmesan was very good. It was and served with fresh pasta. The other dish, bolonase was served with spinach pasta and was tasty. Our server was so nice and talkative. It's seems to be a family owned neighborhood restaurant.. Not too many out there. We will visit on our next trip.
