Bruno's Little Italy

We came in to eat an hour before closing, they were extremely busy but we were seated in a timely manner outside. The waitress was amazing I wish I could have caught her name, she made sure we were taken care of, and apologized multiple times for us having to wait, which wasn’t a big deal to us. The owner gained my respect immediately when he took time out of his busy busy day to come and speak to us, I’ve never seen any other do so. Vince has an amazing little restaurant with wonderful staff and the food was amazing. We will be back :)

We loved our experience there, the bread was fresh and hot, our meals were perfect. I had the lasagna and my wife had the chicken Parmesan. The staff was friendly and prompt. If in downtown Little Rock, come to Bruno’s to have a great Italian experience.

I am giving this 3 stars only because I think this just must have been a bad example. First time going here, and I got what I thought should be a good barometer of the place. A $17 Marinara pizza that claims Italian roots. "The original pizza."

Pizza was overly salty and sour. I don't know whether they used vastly inferior tomatoes, which can be very sour when you add onion, or whether it was anchovies on their "Marinara" pizza, or other spices, but it was just not enjoyable.

I will admit that Italy/Napoli origins give me great anticipation, and I probably had very high expectations, but this is nothing like pizza in Italy. I am quite disappointed. I still might give it another chance on the pasta, but greatness in Italian food comes from the simplicity and freshness of its ingredients, not lots of spices/additions. I'd take Little Caesars over this any day.

We were a party of 8 plus a lil one and the service was spectacular. Our server and all the extra staff were phenomenal. Everyone interacted with us and which made it even better. Served bread right away, The Caesar salad with the dressing was probably the best dressing I've had in quite awhile. Their fried ravioli was crispy on the outside and creamy and delicious on the inside. Great appetizer as well as the Antipasto plate. I love olives and they were fresh and a few varieties to try. Eggplant Parmesan, Linguine with Pesto and dried tomatoes, oh my❣️. So many other entrees I can't quite remember. We all shared 3 desserts which were fresh and homemade. Plan to make this one of my favorite Italian places ❤️❤️❤️

The food was just ok. The lasagna was good, but it was overcooked. The bread was warm and delicious! The drinks were really good!
