⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great experience at Bruno’s! America and Eduardo gave us outstanding service: friendly, attentive, and professional. A big compliment also to the chef and kitchen team. The pizza was excellent, honestly one of the best in Santa Monica. Highly recommended!

Pizza style (Neapolitan, NYC, Chicago, Detroit, etc.) is undistinguishable as it doesn’t seem to fit into any known category. It feels like homemade dough (not in a good way, in an amateurish way) that’s not completely baked. The amount of toppings was disproportionate (too much toppings relative to the size of the pizza) The sauce tasted like it was just straight up canned tomato purée (not pizza sauce or fresh tomatoes) The cheese was almost nonexistent The side of grated Parmesan was microscopic Overall, it was undercooked and the veggies were oozing their water all over the pizza and weighing it down with their amounts. On top of all of this, the waitress (or whatever her role is, she might have been a cashier) was a little rude.. although in fairness it was the last 15 minutes of her shift and she might have had a long bad day. Still, no excuse to be miserly or rude. Hands down one of the worst 2 pizzas I ever had.

The PERFECT dinner spot steps from the pier but not touristy. Great portions and wine by the juice jug. Amazing service and it’s always the same waitress with a smile on her face. Patio in the back with ocean views.

My family was just trying to find a place to eat. We didn’t want to eat anywhere with too much people or any sketchy place. We came across this place and we decided to try it out. The moment we came in the staff/waiters were very kind. This was our first time trying Italian food out, and the waitress explained to us each dish and which dishes we should try. The food came quickly, and it was delicious! The pizza was so scrumptious, the pasta was amazing. The white cheese coating and bacon bits were just so delicious. The atmosphere is very nice. There’s music playing in the background that immediately makes you feel at home, but doesn’t overpower your conversations. It’s perfect for a date night, family dinner, and anything in between! Definitely a must try diner! That’s why we leave this five star review.😃

I recently visited this little Italian spot and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is definitely on the smaller side with limited seating, but what it lacks in space it makes up for in flavor. The food was absolutely delicious and the prices were very affordable, which made the experience even better.
