“My husband and I went to dinner before a show at DPAC. Made reservations in advance. We were seated immediately in a cozy booth/ table style area. Our server was just wonderful and attentive throughout our meal. We ordered 4 small plates. I was unsure of the grilled octopus, but after reading review after review about how delicious...decided to go for it! So glad I did! It was absolutely delicious! Everything was amazing! Best food we have had in a long time! I ordered the Cardi Bee and Fig Mint cocktails. Both great!!! Will definitely be back!“

“Our server was very attentive and described that we could order all the food we wanted at once note come out one at a time as it was ready. It's really amazing all the flavors were just undeniably good the cauliflower and peanut sauce, the beets and the scotch egg was our favorite, the chicken was the most moist and seasoned chicken we ever had. It was not overly salty at all honestly couldn't even taste of the salt. It was just perfectly seasoned with flavors that you just can't get anywhere anywhere else but here and it just truly added to an amazing experience for a midweek dinner. You know a place is amazing when you can have well-done steak kebab, and it's still have flavor and not be rubbery and have that perfect char and the scotch bonnet pepper sauce was absolutely chefs kiss. Amazing job to the team and cannot wait to come and try again.“

“Benjamin made my Earl Please (an alcohol free cocktail from their menu) and was so kind and attentive. As a graduate student who can't drink alcohol much due to disabilities, places with options for me me to enjoy delicious and fancy beverages are special. The only thing that makes me sad is that I'm not rich enough to order more than one a day! ?? Someone pay me more money! It's so tasty! Best non-lavender mocktail ever!Dietary restrictions: Alcohol free cocktails; non-alcoholic beverages“

“Great meal. Sat at the bar and received excellent service. Good value, as well. Restaurant is located in an upscale strip mall, but that's pretty standard. Not my favorite type of setting, but the food and the staff made up for it. We will return!“

“Cute vibes. my boyfriend and I came on the Thursday night which is their trivia night. The hostesses checked on us many times. We both had sandwiches. That were just OK. We also bought two seasonal drinks I personally feel mine was a bit too strong, but but who complains about too strong of a drink?!? I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this place for dinner, but it was fun to do the trivia and to have snacks and dessert. I will definitely be back. Dessert was the best part…crème brûlée.“

Wine Tasting

“A lovely wine bar with a wonderful selection of orange wine! I stopped by again on my birthday a few weeks ago, and was warmly welcomed by the owner Esteban. I think Brunello focuses more on the wine than the bar. In other words, it’s a great place to try out and get educated on new wine, but it’s less “vibe-y” as a bar. I wonder if softer chairs/a couch would help. Overall highly recommend!!“

“Easily, EASILY one of the top 5 food experiences, of my entire life. They have a dish called "Marrow" w bone marrow and short ribs - served in the Bone! It was awesome. Plus as a bonus the full experience is to have a shot of Sherry or Bourbon down the bone channel after - I left that picture out - it was epic. A must try dish/experience (and side note they have a really good Special right now: a Turnip dish with Ramps, which I had never heard of before but was great)“

“Some recipes have been changed not for the best... Dining outside is great compared to the noise inside. For the price, may we recommend a little bit more of table setup like a paper place mat? Also, a wiser way to place / space customers would be highly appreciated especially when a crazy table of students is sitting next to us, while we are in the middle of a calm and lovely time.“

“We ate here for Valentine's Day. I ordered the Chicken Marsala, my sister & niece got the lobster ravioli, and the hubs ordered the lasagna. We all LOVED our meals, with the exception of the hubs. The lasagna was not layered, it was more deconstructed. Bread and service were outstanding! The place was clean and quaint! A nice little authentic Italian gem!!“
