Brunos Italian Kitchen - Brea

The pasta was excellent, with a great variety of options to choose from. The flavors were spot on. Despite the restaurant being busy, our server consistently checked on us, which made for a very enjoyable experience.

At first, the food portions seemed a bit smaller, but they turned out to be just right, and we left feeling quite full. I was pleasantly surprised that my kids enjoyed their meals so much, especially the pasta dishes. I tried the seafood pasta, which was absolutely delicious, and the chopped salad was fantastic—I'll definitely be ordering that every time I visit. If you're looking for a pleasant atmosphere, food that tastes homemade (the pasta definitely seemed freshly made), and reasonable prices, this is the place to go.

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 a conversation. That said, the atmosphere was fun, just loud. Our food was ok. The Milano Manhattan is VERY strong, you can taste the alcohol before your lips even touch the glass, but good if you like’em strong! If you want something sweet, the Limoncello Drop is a good one! We tried the Cozze Muscles, they were good, the “juice” it came in was lackluster in flavor though. For dinner I had the Cioppino… if you want a start, as for linguine or fettuccine, it doesn’t come with it. My boyfriend got the Bistecca ‘Flat Iron’. It arrived cold, so he didn’t really eat much of it unfortunately. I used it to make him a steak sandwich the next day, so it worked out. We ended with the gelato and Budino al Caramello. Those were both pretty good, 5 stars :

Tremendous value in Italian dining especially these inflationary times. They have dinner specials that are deliciously prepared. Amazing atmosphere with friendly and pleasant staff. Their house bread and chimichuri dipping sauce together with their house chopped salad are both amazing. Their main enteees are very tasty.
