The entire place was so cute and felt very cozy. The staff were attentive and wonderful. The place is small which adds to the coziness of the place and makes it more intimate and for more of an experience. The courses and food were absolutely amazing and all the little add ins that are not listed in their menu online were welcomed surprises. You can tell they pour their passion and dedication to every dish. We will absolutely be coming back (we already booked for our next visit) and are recommending this place to whoever will listen. As much as i would love to gate keep this place, I dont think thats fair to not share how great of this place is.

Charming special occasion atmosphere. Excellent service. Incredible food and cocktails. We came Easter weekend in remembrance of a family member, as this was one of his favorite fine dining experiences. We toasted him with Kir Royales and sat in the courtyard next to the fountain and reminisced. Lovely evening.

About the restaurant

Bruno’s Ristorante has been a fixture in the neighborhood for many years. We’ve enjoyed entertaining everyone from nearby residents to business guests to the Dallas Cowboys (until recently) and those who travel from further away.

Bruno Ceka started this establishment over 25 years ago, and has been actively involved since its beginning. Bruno is an enthusiastic businessman who loves working in and serving the local community. He’s had several business ventures in the area over the years, but his passion has always been here, at Bruno’s. Most days you’ll see him welcoming you in the dining room.

All staff were extremely friendly, greeting us as we walked in. Creative cocktails and variety of snacks and entrees, all reasonably priced and large portions. Noise level does make it hard to hear everyone at inside booth.
