Bruno's Restaurant

14 people 1 waiter. The kitchen clearly messed up the orders as it took well over 1 hour 40 minutes before we got our orders. To make matters worse, for the people whose orders were not messed up, it was cold by the time we got it.

I suppose if one were to go in a group of 4 or fewer, it could prove to be worthwhile, seeing as Bruno's is considered one of the best Italian places in Springfield, but my one time there will probably be my last.

I ate at this restaurant last night - and the food was pretty good...just "pretty good".  I don't live in Springfield, and in my town we have a brick oven restaurant that is much better, and a little less expensive.  That being said...

It was good food, I ate it and I enjoyed it...but I won't make it a "must visit" place next time.  

The reviewer below mine mentioned some empty ricotta bowls sitting on the bar - there were also two empty plastic containers of ricotta sitting on the bar.  His review was written in May and this one in August - I hope it's not the same two containers!!!  The manager was also there and sat at the bar just in front of the trash.  The manager also kept yelling at the waiters while they were trying to talk to customers - maybe that's just the way they do things in Italy, but in America it is usually best to do the yelling in private and not in front of your customers.  

The overall service was pretty slow, and I know that isn't just the manner of the restaurant because our server mentioned "computer problems" several times as the reason for the delays (We never mentioned having to wait)

I gave this review 3 stars which is considered "A-OK" according to Yelp, and I agree with that.  It was a good dinner with good atmosphere and nice decorations.  Just unfortunately there were several little issues that kept me from giving it 4 stars.

Lasagna for lunch only--not available at dinner.  Too bad, because it's so good.  Pizzas are freshly prepared by hand and rock, Italian-style, don't even compare it to a chain.
