Bruno's has been a staple of Indiana. Mezzo Mezzo, Manicotti and Lasagne are great. Red sauce has a bit of a sweet taste to it which we love. Friendly service with a variety of dining choices - dining room, bar or cellar. Each has its own feel. Great choices for lunch. My favorite is the Dagwood.

Bruno's has been a dining staple of Indiana for...well...probably long before I moved here or was even born. Dining in the wine cellar is the best way to go - nice romantic atmosphere. Of course in our case it was 12 dudes, but hey...still nice. My favorite dish so far as been the sausage parmesan. The crab dip was beuno too.

My first time there. I asked from the start if the portions were adequate. The waitress said yes and it may be hard to finish. I ordered the grilled chicken with spaghetti. I should have told the waitress to take the order back. It was a kiddie portion. 5 ounces of chicken and a very small bowl of spagetti. It was embarrasing. Go someplace else. Don't waste your money here. I'm an Italian and know good food. This was terrible.

Don't bother with this place. Although it has been here for a number of years it might be the last resort in this small town. Bad food, uncreative menu including something called "red-blue cheese dressing" a combination of French dressing and Blue Cheese. Italian bread that should not be called Italian bread.

Dinner out with the husband, I ordered mannicotti (sp?) and hubby got the steak special. My meal was really disappointing, however had a bite of his steak and it was fantastic! So, strangely enough, don't order the italian food lol, just get a steak!

Nothing really stands out to me here, it isn't the best Italian food I've ever had, but it is pretty standard. The service is friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is dated and dingy, but clean. The food I've had is unimaginative, and always leaves something to be desired. It isn't bad, just lacking in flavor. Bruno's owners could do a few things to make it a better experience: 1. Update the atmosphere. The wine cellar could be a great dining experience, but you almost feel like you're dining in someone's cleared out basement. With minimal work, this space could easily be transformed into something special. 2. Re-work the recipes. I don't necessarily think the menu needs to be completely revamped, but the recipes could be updated with more flavor - a squeeze of lemon here, freshly cracked pepper there - these small adjustments could take ho-hum dinners to wonderful meals. The food isn't bad, just boring. 3. Management needs to step back and allow the wait staff to do their job - which they are already good at without meddling hands interfering. Should the above be addressed, we might consider visiting Bruno's more often.

For supposedly being under new management, I'm disappointed. The only good thing was the Italian sausage, but sadly it's not enough. The sauce had no flavor, no seasoning. Tasted like canned tomato soup, to be exact. The meatballs were definitely frozen, bland, and the consistency of mush. The ravioli was just weird, same bland mush meat that had no seasoning, meaning not home made. It's been awhile since I've eaten here, now I remember why. Never again.

Ehhh I really really tried to like this place. I have very much wanted to like this place because of the wine cellar. Love the concept, and for a town like indiana you've gotta respect it. But the food is always so dissapointing! Portions are very small (it's Italian! C'Mon!) And lack alot of flavor. Always so bland. And of course once the food is dissapointing, the cellar always seems to look lazy and played out afterwards. However, I will give kudos to the service. Always very respectable and prompt. Excellence service, with the food matched

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
