Reviews for Brunos Italian Kitchen in Brea, CA
The pasta was really good. Good amount of choices to order from. The flavor was on point. Even though the restaurant was... packed, our server managed to check on us regularly, making the experience most welcome Read more
My kids wanted something different that was not Olive garden and this one was a winner. To be honest the name Bruno made them... think of the Disney movie so we don't talk about it. Compared to the chain restaurant Olive garden this was a nice change inPace. The food portions at first seem smaller but they were just right and we left very full. For authentic Italian food I wasactually surprised that my kids ate everything and they loved their pasta dishes. The seafood pasta dish I tried was verydelicious. They're chopped salad was amazing and I will be eating at every single time. If you're looking for a niceenvironment, food that you feel is cooked from scratch (I got the impression that the pasta is made there) and reasonablypriced, then come here. Read more
Food was tasty but definitely small portions. We ordered 6 total items 3 different 2 each. It seemed like they cooked and split... into 2 boxes using the same portion. Picture on menu is much bigger than the actual. Read more

Always a great dining experience. GM Tim is attentive to everything going on AND the customers. Erin, the bartender, is... creative and gragarious and has his regulars at the bar. I used to like dining at a table with my other half, but we arebecoming regulars at the bar. It's like a neighborhood bar , friendly and a good time. They have great happy hour specials andnightly specials...definitely a place to frequent . . . Good food, good drinks, good people! Read more
My wife and I had a wonderful impromptu date night at this establishment. We did not have a reservation and were seated promptly... but I think that was just luck. I highly recommend a reservation because they were busy. They also have some phenomenal specialsfor the weekends that make it very affordable. The sauce was excellent and the broccoli was perfect. We had some drinks thatwere expertly mixed and our waitress was friendly fast efficient and funny. A wonderful evening, 5 out of 5 would recommend. Read more
We had reservations for Saturday night at 7:30 (open table) and were seated right away. They were SUPER busy! It was loud, so... unless you go at an unusual time, I wouldn’t recommend going for a first date, or any date where you want to have aconversation. That said, the atmosphere was fun, just loud. Our food was ok. The Milano Manhattan is VERY strong, you can tastethe alcohol before your lips even touch the glass, but good if you like’em strong! If you want something sweet, the LimoncelloDrop is a good one! We tried the Cozze Muscles, they were good, the “juice” it came in was lackluster in flavor though. Fordinner I had the Cioppino… if you want a start, as for linguine or fettuccine, it doesn’t come with it. My boyfriend got theBistecca ‘Flat Iron’. It arrived cold, so he didn’t really eat much of it unfortunately. I used it to make him a steaksandwich the next day, so it worked out. We ended with the gelato and Budino al Caramello. Those were both pretty good, 5 stars:) Read more
