The atmosphere is cozy with warm lighting, making it a good spot to relax and enjoy a meal. There is also a bar area with TVs, which felt a little different from the typical Italian vibe, but it did not take away from the experience. Service was friendly, but it was a busy Saturday night and you could definitely feel it. Everything moved a bit slower, and we had to wait about 10 to 15 minutes for the check at the end because our server was not around. We started with the meatballs in red sauce and really enjoyed them. Simple, flavorful, and a great appetizer to share. One thing I was not expecting was being charged for the bread. It was fresh and good, but it is not something I usually associate with Italian restaurants. For the main course, we had the cacio e pepe. The flavor was there, but the sauce was a bit too liquid for my preference. It is a difficult dish to get right, and while it was good, I think it could have been a little better. The tiramisu was absolutely the highlight. The balance between the cream and the ladyfingers was spot on, and it ended up being my favorite thing we ordered. Overall, good location, nice atmosphere, and solid food. The tiramisu is the one thing I would absolutely come back for.

The veal was paper-thin, incredibly tender, and still on the bone. It wasn't overly breaded at all, and it came with a side of pasta that made the portion even more impressive.

Beyond the food, the restaurant feels genuinely Italian--like being transported straight back to Florence. It's small, intimate, and cozy, with both indoor and outdoor seating options that make the experience even more special. Service here has and never will be a disappointment, you always feel like family! On a previous visit, I tried the lobster mac and cheese, and it was equally delightful and incredibly flavorful. I almost hesitate to recommend it because I don't want booking to get harder, but if you're ever visiting Naples, this is an absolute must-go. An unforgettable experience all around.

Bruninas is the best italian restaurant I have been too so far, their food is so good, if it's your first time going there and you don't know what to choose I recommend the gnocchi that is my favorite dish so far. Their service is on point, If they mess up your order they are kind enough to get you a new one, I have not seen any other restaurant do that, the owner is basically there everyday and manager and they both handle everything there nicely and well done the nicest and funniest people I have ever met and the ambience is just amazing. I hope this review will bring you back to Bruninas because I'm on my word about this bruninas is the best Italian restauran I have ever been too!!! read more

To A.M., you are mistaken. Sauce is not kept in fridge. Sauce never makes it back to kitchen. Sauce is served hot. I think you should get your facts straight before posting such review. This is a family own business that works extremely hard to serve the public. You probably witnessed a parm cheese container going back to the fridge which is a closed container and within the food safety code. It's like salt and pepper shakers on table. Hope in the future you would write factual review and not your lack of experience assumptions. Its just sad. If you though it was sauce eaten by someone else you should have spoken up and could avoided this confusion and misrepresentation. read more

We were there at the same time as Paul B. who gave one star. The only person who was rude was him! He was drunk and loud, and probably ordered it wrong.

Everything tastes homemade, traditional, and honest. Their use of imported Italian flour and a water purification system makes a real difference.

You can taste the difference immediately. The flavors are rich without being heavy, and the food has that unmistakable Southern Italian depth -- simple ingredients done right. The desserts are just as impressive. Their tiramisu and limoncello desserts are culturally correct and deeply nostalgic. They taste like something my mother would have made.

Every time he came to the table you could smell him first. Also, because the restaurant walls are white, the greyed shirts are even more obvious. I looked around and the two female servers near our table had on equally grey shirts. Time to buy your team new shirts and talk about regular cleaning with Oxi products or a little bleach. The question you have to ask yourself as a diner: if they don't care about the cleanliness of their customer facing servers, what does the back of the house look like? Please address this promptly! Your restaurant is too good to overlook this.
