The food was great. Everyone liked what they got. Most of us got something from the early bird menu for $19.50. It's a great deal! Also happy hour is 50% off of most drinks. I got the chicken Marsala and it was delicious. The portions are large. Only one person finished their meal. Two people took home leftovers and two of us didn't eat all the pasta (I could have forced myself) It comes with soup or salad and you can upgrade to Caesar salad or another soup for $3. We also tried the meatball appetizer (I didn't try it but others liked it) and we shared the dessert sampler. The berry cake was very good and the key lime pie was too. The tiramisu was good but I'm not a huge fan of tiramisu so that might be me. It's a big restaurant and pretty busy. Our server was excellent. Oh and the free bread was excellent. Comes out warm they make a garlic olive oil dipping sauce for you. Sorry no photos. read more

Picked out sitting in the bar area, bartender took our drink order and food. That was the last we saw of her Managements fault , why she serving tables? He had to go and get himself another beer. Food was yummy, would have liked to been offered some grated cheese to go on the oil like the other tables got. I had appetizer of scallop n shrimp, really tasty would have liked more lemon, no server... his sausages n peppers appetizer was plenty and done real tasty. Bartender finally came by, to apologize after we had to ask someone for help to get us our bill, could have walked out, (never would) just going to show that we got no attention. read more

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant but we were sadly disappointed. The evening was busy and we checked in only to be ignored and forgotten about for seating. I didn't mind waiting but parties were piling in after us and being seated so I had to remind the host we were still waiting. We were seated outside, not anything special in terms of ambiance. The server was attentive. I ordered lasagna which came out complete mush, no al dante or even close, just like sauce almost! The pizza was absolutely awful. Bad crust, sauce and cheese. No taste. Wow!! one of the few times I felt like a complete waste of time! read more

Amazing food ! Great atmosphere!! Everyone is so nice!! Friendly staff!! 5 stars!!!!we come here often for dinner and appetizers to dinner to dessert is absolutely delicious !! Casual dress !

Just left after sitting at a high traffic Two top and was completely ignored. After 15 minutes off no communication, and watching others at least have water before us, we got up and let. It's a shame to not be acknowledged. Don't sit there. read more

One visit does not do it justice. The first time I was in Brano's, I gave them a terrible review and it was worthy of such, so no apologies. I had a buddy convinced me to go back and give Bruno's another try and I did so because of its high rating. Boy was I glad I did. It was the same Restaurant, same ownership, same wait staff but it wasn't the same experience. The food was fantastic this time. I had a Oso Buco, which was the best I've ever had. I've returned several times and the experience has been wonderful. I guess everybody can have a bad day. I highly recommend this excellent Italian restaurant in Cocoa Beach, Florida read more

Funny how things work out. One year later almost to the day we are back at Branos. We came back based on our previous visit and were delighted to see Branos in full swing and busy on a Sunday night / Holiday weekend. We were warmly greeted and seated immediately. Upon ordering we received some hot fresh bread and olive oil dip which was wonderful. Main entrees came with soup or salad. My dining partner had house salad with blue cheese dressing. Fresh good quality vegetables. The minestrone soup was served hot with fresh veggies and a delicious broth. The grilled pork chop was delicious as was the salmon. Both dishes came with flavorful rice and delicious sides. The risotto was also very good, with undertones of butter and white wine. The mushrooms were fresh and correctly sautéed. Service is executed well and the staff is upbeat and accommodating. They want you to return ! Well done! Highly recommended! read more

This place is absolutely delicious! We didn't originally plan on coming here, but saw that the parking lot was full, so decided to walk-in! The hosts were helpful and got us seated quickly even with many other reservations. Our server was so sweet and fun. The bread service is soo good, and the main course was even better! I had the Meatball Bake Pancetta, with a garlic cream sauce over cheese ravioli. The vibes were immaculate as well! Definitely give this place a try! read more

We went to Satellite Beach for a long weekend. Upon searching for a restaurant I came across this place. Made reservations, we arrived early and they accommodated us. The staff is great, our waiter was great and very friendly, quick to answer questions and very knowledgeable. We started with the escargot appetizer, and they had a great bread service as well with olive oil dipping sauce. Very extensive cocktail menu as well. The mains were tortellini in garlic Alfredo sauce, seafood in a spicy tomato sauce over capellini, Both dishes were great. Highly recommended, plenty of parking. Also outdoor dining. read more

We had reservations and were seated immediately. Reservations were a bit odd in that you send an email and request a time and they let you know if it's available. When we didn't hear back, we contacted them again and we were set. We started with the meatball sampler and fried mozzarella. Loved the sticks but the meatballs were just ok. I chose the baked ravioli. It was delicious. It was served super hot with tons of cheese on top. The cheese filled ravioli was fresh and very tasty. I also appreciated that a small salad and bread was part of the meal. Everyone loved their meals. Service was excellent. Parking easy. There was lots of seating, including heaters on the patio. It definitely had an 'Italy' vibe. It was a very busy place so reservations are helpful. Good experience. read more

We had our usual delicious spaghetti and salad order when we recently returned to Cocoa Beach. It was as delicious as ever!! If you are fortunate enough to sample If you are fortunate enough to go to their holiday buffets - GO! What a delight!! This last time we had Anna as our server. She was AMAZING!! Thank you Anna, you are truly the beautiful one. read more

It's not terrible (hence two stars) - but the food is very much cafeteria style. Looks like re-heated dishes. They proudly claim everything is made fresh daily, however, that cannot be true. My pasta was overcooked - the chicken was flavorless. Not a good experience. It's kinda funny, the waiter raved about the food! Everything was supposed to be exceptional. But chef-boy-r-dee was on his game.. read more

3.5 but I can't give the 4th star. Bartender was polite & welcoming. They were closing at 9 & I sat at 8:30 & didn't feel rushed. The mahi dip was really good. The salad came with the entree & it was basic. You could get lobster bisque instead for $3 more. The sauce on the lobster ravioli was decent. It needed more spice & flavor. The pasta itself was bland. The shrimp could've been seasoned or grilled. It is an Italian grill?! Portions were reasonable. I won't say I'm disappointed but I'm definitely not impressed. Bar area was spacious. read more

Ran in on the late side last night and were treated with no rush to make decisions and a wonderful waiter who helped us make decisions. The pizza was delicious and the Cesar salad was great. It was a great experience and they made us feel welcome. One shout out to the waiter who helped an elderly gentleman carry his leftovers to his car and the rest of the staff that helped him with his walker- walking behind him and with him. The kindness of the staff added to the ambiance and experience. read more

Ordered delivery tonight. Chicken Picatta, the boil app, shrimp Alfredo, and the bread basket- with 2 minestrone soups as the sides of the entrees and a tiramisus. The chicken Picatta is absolutely the worst I've ever tasted anywhere and it was thrown out. See photo of the clumps of mushrooms and how gross it looks. Not a hint of lemon, a whopping 9 bland, with zero caper flavored capers, in the entire thing (I've never tasted a caper that had zero zero zero flavor, it must be a talent to make that happen) and smothered in mushrooms. What?! And seems like a ridiculous full pound of barely sauced noodles with a half a chicken breast and tons of mushrooms (again- absolutely not the sauce Picatta should have). Like they hoped putting a full lb box of pasta in the container would make us not notice how terrible it is. I paid $105 for this order for quality. The boil appetizer- when there's only 6 mussels, you'd think whoever is cooking would see that 2 didn't have any mussel in them and make sure that the mussels each actually had a mussel, since only 6 are in it to start with. Most places take pride in delivering quality. The minestrone soup has the largest pieces of crunchy veggies I've ever seen and nothing else. The broth is just...no. Was beyond disappointed. Felt no reason to call and complain or get a refund. Money isn't the issue. Finding somewhere worth paying for is what matters, and this place is NOT it. An "Italian" restaurant that sent out such low quality of food doesn't deserve a second chance or a call. read more

Food was not good felt like the sauce could have been better and my pasta was mushy. No gluten free options just penne. The server was great and very friendly. The restaurant itself is big with a lot of room. I won't go back just because they need to have more gluten free options . read more

For some reason, after making a reservation on Friday, we got a text saying our reservation could not be made on Saturday. No worries. We went early & sat outside as we had our pup. Well, a man who appeared to be a manager told our waiter, "Dogs go outside" which is pretty common knowledge but made us feel uncomfortable having brought her to a restaurant on Bring Fido. Anyway, it was really dark inside so... Our waiter was AMAZING. He was smart and friendly and had great suggestions. We started with the shrimp cocktail & it was pretty standard. The rice balls... Not what we're used to, unusual beef, more of a pot roast, no peas, different but good. Salads were a lot of difference greens, Italian dressing was great. For the mains, we had chicken risotto & the chicken parm. Risotto was very tasty but a bit al dente. Chicken parm... again, not what we're used to & definitely not NY style, but good. Portion was during the special hours so I was expecting a small portion, but it was surprisingly large. Skipped dessert as the skies were about to open - but a decent experience. read more

Yeah this place is legit! Good drinks. The osso buco was as advertised. Fall of the bone. So delicious. I got a side of fettuccine Alfredo because I was craving some noodles. It was a solid Alfredo. We also had some calamari that was top notch. A star of the show was the oil (add parm) that came with the bread. All around a great experience to round out the weekend with the family.

Food was decent, probably better in the restaurant, but we had it from takeout. Again, that may have affected the quality, definitely affected the presentation. We got the chicken Marsala, the chicken piccata and the cheesecake. We also got an order of calamari. The calamari wasn't bad, just not crispy. The Marsala had a good flavor but the noodles under it were just ok. The picatta was the same. Sauce was decent but the noodles were just not fresh tasting. The cheesecake was a little dense but we thought it had a good flavor. read more
