Omg! The vibe was vibing. The host was hosting and doing the best she could because it was busy. We were serviced by the manager because it seemed like they were short staffed but they did what they could. Food was superb! Partner got chicken Alfredo and I got lemon chicken pasta something like that and I never finish pasta...ooo and don't get me started on the bread. Definitely going back when I'm in town.

Bruno's Little Italy was an exceptional discovery that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with charming decor that made me feel right at home. One of the highlights of my experience was the freshly baked bread served at the beginning of the meal. It was so delightful that I found myself savoring each piece, and before I knew it, I had indulged in quite a bit--perhaps a bit more than I intended, which might explain why I didn't finish all of my main course. As for the service, it was nothing short of impeccable. The staff was attentive and friendly, always checking in to ensure I had everything I needed without being intrusive. This kind of service added to the overall pleasant dining experience. Though I wouldn't consider myself a huge enthusiast of Italian cuisine, I was genuinely impressed by the freshness of the ingredients and the vibrant flavors of my dish. Each bite was a testament to the chef's dedication to quality and authenticity. Overall, my visit to Bruno's Little Italy was highly enjoyable, and I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a remarkable meal and a delightful dining experience.

My wife and I were craving Italian food. We haven't been to Bruno's in a while. We both had the chicken piccata, this tastes so fresh and light , the balance of lemon, capers , and butter is spot on and does not leave you heavy. Our server " Jamie was there for our every need and desire excellent service, the Staff all were polite smiling and several times a server who just was walking by picked up empty plates , very thoughtful when not being asked to do so, I forgot just how special Bruno's is family atmosphere, excellent food. We will be back as regulars again.

We have been want to try this place since we found out it was featured on Triple D. Best authentic Italian food I have had in a very long time. We got to meet Vince Bruno and this made my night.

Charming place with pleasant staff. We look forward to Triple D places every place we go. We started with the fried ravioli appetizer. Different from St Louis style but delicious. Ysabel had the vegetable manicotti which she loved! I had the lasagna imbotito which had deep flavors and was delicious. We split a tasty dish of Spumoni for dessert. What a great find for us. We hope to make it back before our trip is over!

The food was GREAT, toasted raviolis are a must for the appetizer. The service was average, we went during the dinner rush and it took almost 45 mins to get our main after ordering. We ordered as soon as we were sat down, because we had a 45 minute wait. The mood of the place was great good atmosphere. Disorganized host situation I think they lost us in the crowd.

Excellent Italian at this storefront spot in downtown Little Rock. Seated after 15 minutes of the expected 30 minute wait. It's a cool, tall-ceilinged interior. Loud and boisterous with tunes from old-time crooners piped in. Nicole took good care of us. Made some recommendations, was charming and friendly. Food served as ordered, in about 15 minutes. Insalata Miscolanza was a delicious mélange of house salad tossed with diced soppressata, prosciutto and pepperoni plus some cheese and dressed in oil and vinegar. The mix is right, not too much meat or cheese. An excellent appetizer. For main course, chose Penne con Ragou (meat sauce) and added a couple of meatballs. The penne is cooked perfectly al dente. Sauce is slightly sweet, perfectly complemented with garlic and onion. Meatballs are all meat, firm and tender; clearly they've been simmered in that sauce all day. Yum!

Excellent spot! We had a very large group and had to be split up but it was completely fine! They did a great job getting us in and taken care of. We ordered the Antipasto ala Vincenzo for an appetizer and it was wonderful! There were several things that we had no idea what it was, possibly garlic or some sort of pepper, and it was still delicious! The olives were amazing! I ordered the Chicken Vincenzo and it was Amazing!! Order it! Wonderful flavor. Perfectly cooked noodles! I heard great reviews on the other dishes ordered: fettuccini, lasagna, calzone, and shrimp pasta. I will definitely recommend to anyone in the area!
