The eggplant parmesan was sliced super thin and easy to eat. It was not greasy. It was a regular sized portion served over penne. The sauce was superb with a slightly sweet tinge. There was a large piece of fresh mozzarella on top. By the time I was able to eat it, it was not hot, so the pictures don't do it any justice. The three pieces of bread were excellent and fresh as well. The only thing missing was the dipping sauce or so wish maybe some butter would have been included if the dipping sauce could not be. I did take out. It was super busy & all of the close up parking was full, but since it is in a plaza, there was plenty of additional parking. The service was prompt, efficient & quick to pay. The outdoor ambiance was nice & everyone seemed happy to be outside dining in such perfect weather. All of the menu looks amazing so it was difficult to choose. I think dining in would be better (in my opinion), but I would like to go when it is quiet. I like peace and quiet. By the way, I am still hungry, but have a high metabolism and voracious appetite. read more

I have eaten here before, however, what I must enjoy is ordering a cauliflower crust pizza. I get it with the regular cheese and pepperoni and to me it is comparable to eating a regular pizza, but without the filling gluten dough crust. Why do I prefer to take it home? So nobody has to watch me attack it! read more

Great service and the food was delicious for dinner. Busy. Cute inside. We will be back!

The pasta fagioli and gnocci with chicken are the BEST!!! Home made for sure. Well priced. Small wine list.

OK pizza but $3 for a few slices of onions and $3 more for a few mushrooms and poor service. Won't be back.

First, the pork chop is incredible! No, it's not the healthiest item on the menu, but it's worth the caloric splurge. It's a bone-in pork chop covered with cheese and prosciutto, then breaded. Crispy on the outside; moist and creamy on the inside. It comes on a bed of excellent fettuccini with a mushroom sauce that pairs perfectly with the pork chop. The Margherita pizza was exactly the way we like it - seems too light and fresh to be pizza, but offers full flavor. Seafood pesto pasta was another favorite at the table. Sometimes pesto can be too oily of the seafood doesn't meet expectations. People in Naples know good seafood, so they are using the good stuff, and the pesto is like homemade. OK, so everyone loved their meal at Brunina's, and we actually went back for seconds within a week. 5 Stars again! Along with the items above, we loved the Gnocchi (homemade!), the Bolognese, the chicken parm, and several appetizers. As a final note, one member of our party has diet restrictions: Gluten free, and no dairy. They were able to offer gluten free pasta alternatives, and the server knew the menu very well - knowing which sauces and entrees could be made without dairy by the kitchen. So impressed. Can't wait to go back. read more

Horrible experience and made me decide to never return as food was horrible and service so so.

Food is delicious! The restaurant is pretty warm which was slightly uncomfortable but overall a nice experience

Love this place!! They have a special until 5:30 for two entrees and a bottle of wine. My wife is GF so we had to make sure they could accommodate and they did, which was outstanding. She had the bolognese (GF) and I had the chick parm. Both were incredible and the service was great. Will definitely be back. read more

Food is very good with a menu to please all. Very good pizza and very nice efficient service. Pizza is one of the best in the area.

Food is great and their Pizza is the best in Florida I've tried a lot of pizza parlors but their Pizza is one of the best

Everything was phenomenal. Food, service and atmosphere was top notch! Definitely coming back!

Here for lunch the first time. Place looked very comfortable inside or outside dining. Would have sat outside but it was too windy and cool. Will start about our server (the only server) who handled it all, CHRISTIAN. A very nice, professional and very personable fellow. Very helpful with the menu. He handled all five tables inside and the outside dining areas. Always moving and accommodating. Thanks again Christian! The food was very good. Started out with the bread basket with enough oil to dip. I also requested butter as well. (Can refill that basket if necessary) Bread was very good! The cup of Pasta Fagioli (Pasta Fazool to us New Yorkers now living in Naples) was very good. Added some Parmesan to liven it up a bit. The salad was a nice size and looked great. Wasn't excited about the Italian dressing. No homemade dressing here. May want to try another kind. The Eggplant sandwich we ordered without the traditional bread was very good. Very thin slices in a very good tomato sauce with lots of mozzarella. (Mutzarell) We were very pleased with the food even getting used to the Blackened Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo sauce not being white in color. Was told that it was from the blackened chicken. but again, a generous, very reasonable. good tasting dish despite that. When in the area again next time, will try a pizza. The trays passing by looked very good! Enjoy your time here. read more

See all

Crazy busy evening. Our server, Courtney, was extremely attentive this evening. She was always smiling and ensuring that our food was good; ie soup/salad were good and dinners were also good. We have never had a bad meal at this establishment. Our meals of linguine with shrimp and clams with red sauce were spot meat. read more

Great Italian food. Lunch special is 2 slices of pizza and a soda for 6 bucks. Clean restaurant and fast and friendly service. read more

Bruninas - Inside warm and friendly - Pizza Near Me - Naples, Florida

Food is really authentic Italian. Pizza excellent. Service on point. Love it Just wish the wine selection was better

If I can give this restaurant 0 stars, I would. First of all, the owner who was situated near the front desk has 0 personality, and basically ignores incoming and outgoing customers. We were 2 couples dining. The service was slow at best. Three of us ordered the gnocchi ragu with diced beef in a cherry tomatoes sauce. What we got was gnocchi over pieces of beef (like a pot roast) in nothing that resembled a red sauce. It was in a clear (almost water) broth. Absolutely terrible. So disappointed in our meals and the service. Of course the large table next to us (that appeared to be family) did not lack attention. This is the 2nd bad experience here. There will not be a third. This is suppose to be an good Italian restaurant. Labeling it as such doesn't make it so. Hopefully, for their sake, they will improve the quality of their food and service. read more

We placed an order for takeout last week which included an antipasto/charcuterie. The menu specified meats, cheeses, and olives. When we received the order there was no cheese and 1 crostini. We called and asked about this and were told that the kitchen gets busy between 6 - 7 and mistakes happen and they might have run out of cheese. Seriously? Why not mention that there isn't any cheese and they will replace it with another item.? Customer service was terrible and we will never order from there again. read more

Always delicious food and excellent service. Love the wine list. Their meatballs are the best.

We went to Bruninas for dinner last night. The food was delicious and our waitress was fantastic. We can't wait to return.

We have been to this lovely restaurant several times. There are plenty of servers and support staff. I do prefer seating in the back by the small bar area. Very nice ambience there for a date night. The menu offers a nice variety from pizzas and appetizers to wonderful pastas, seafood and meatier selections. One of our party had a sturdy (meaning plenty of cheese and meat) lasagne, another had linguini with bolognese sauce and I had the specialty fried pork chop over polenta at my request. Everything was delicious. The only problem, no room for dessert! read more

It is always a great meal at Brunina's! We go often and are never disappointed. We went for pizza, but decided on the early special of a bottle of wine and our choice of two entrees. read more

My wife and I had wonderful a dinner after being shut in for several days because of Ian.

food had good flavor. service was good and the ambiance was nice . good place for families or friends .

The food is remarkable...so many tempting options. Four of us each picked something different and everything was fabulous. The complementary bread is outstanding with a little Italian butter added. The weather was ideal (late March) so we dined outside...low humidity and a nice breeze. The manager, Giuseppe Carvelli has a first quality kitchen and crew. We don't live in Naples (yet) but anytime we are here...Brunina's is on our must do list. RGB read more

Best Italian food in Naples! Pizza is one of best in town, great Alfredo, delicious bread too! Sometimes I pay extra for another basket it's so good. Meaghan the bartender is always busy, but manages to give excellent service with a smile. Mama Brunina is pretty cool too read more

What a delightful surprise! After a long day of driving, we opted for take-out and admittedly, this place was our second choice, only because we hadn't tried it. We ordered 4 different entrees to go and every one was delicious. This our new go-to for Italian! read more

FOOD: I had the eggplant parm. Meh. Not bad but you're not going to rave to your friends about it either. People giving the 5 star reviews must be from the midwest or something because it was average at best! SERVICE: Our waiter was very young so I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt here. Basically, the night started with him pouring a wine bottle size of water into 5 water glasses. Rather than just immediately get more water, he tried to give us each an equal amount of water which was roughly the amount of a generous pour of bourbon. We had to ask multiple times for another place setting and more water! He also failed to mention that the entree came with a choice of soup or salad which caused an issue at my table that I won't even bother to explain. It was mostly pretty annoying but again he was really young and totally in over his head. I blame management more than him. AMBIENCE: OK. Loud inside but thank goodness we weren't seated on the sidewalk right in front of car grills pulling in and out! Yes the prices are reasonable compared to what else is around, but I have to wonder what all the other reviewers were smoking when they gave this place five stars. Four MAYBE on a really good night but 5?! Don't believe the hype! read more

I'd say 3 1/2 stars. Food very good. Seafood excellent but I've had better risotto. Service tried hard, A for effort, but a bit slow at times. Soup was only warm, unfortunately so was the water. It was noisy inside, a bit tight but acceptable. Nice place for a weekday dinner at a fair price. Soup or salad included with your entree! Would return read more
