This is one of the better Italian places I've been to; it seems like a real mom and pop joint. It's more upscale than dinky dark Italian restaurants and the prices match the ambience. I would definitely classify it as a varied restaurant, as some people brought little kids and some were older people.
We ordered the penne caprese with shrimp and veal parmiggiana. The penne was cooked perfectly al dente. The shrimp were plump and succulent, but slightly overcooked. The tomatoes brought acidity to the dish and the sauce was well balanced. The veal parm has some breading issues. The panko (or breadcrumb mixture) didn't adhere that well to the meat itself. However, the marinara was tasty.
I am an old Carrosellos customer who was heartbroken when Bruno closed up shop.
Thankfully he opened a new restaurant, Brunos.
I have been to the new place a few times and shame on me I havent written a review.
Think old school Brooklyn italian. Very intimate, small bar, small dining room with a small party room.
There is a beautiful wood burning pizza oven, decorated tastefully. A few things to note, parking is tough and the meter maids are around. Meter parking in front, a 5 car parking lot in back. I always go around the corner for free street parking. I dont want to worry about feeding a meter when I am getting my drink on.
Which brings me to my next point…what a great pour
Jack Daniels always taste better in their restaurant, I dont know it must be the ice
The menu is typical red sauce italian although their choices from the grill are outstanding. 64 ounce tomahawk for 2, veal chops etc.
I had them make me a beautiful dish of broccoli rabe and sausage..low carb
My guests had chicken scarpiello, grilled salmon and grilled chicken. All prepared perfectly. For appetizers we had buffala mozzarella with tomatoes and roasted peppers and fried calamari. Done the "right way"
I wish I lived closer, it would be a weekly eat I promise.
Service is excellent and considering the quality of the food, prices are reasonable. Lunch time tip…entrees are half off!
If you are in Howard Beach and in the mood for Italian hit Brunos, you will not regret it.
