Brunos is the worst! I agree with all the posted comments. The pizza is average and the service is awful due to the old lady sitting at the front. They are cheap as you can tell by the delapidated building, nonworking restrooms, the hassle if you use a credit card, and the overall unfriendliness. Th...
The best Pizza in South Bend.
However, the service is terrible. The waitresses are friendly, but the hostess and the people behind the register are not welcoming, I'm assumng it is the family?
I have been going to Bruno's for over 20 years. Nothing beats Bruno's pizza but I would suggest carry ...
Everybody raves about the pizza here, but I've had it several times now and have never been impressed. Rocco's is better - heck, order some Papa John's. It's not like you go to Bruno's for the ambiance anyway. I've been to two of their locations: pretty shoddy decorating, old grubby carpets, etc. Se...
The pizza is the best in town. The service is the worst in town. I've eaten at the Prairie St. Bruno's 3 times, and all three times you felt you were forgotten about. I've also brought in coupons, and the owners grumble and make faces at you when you present them. Why have coupons then? Best thing t...
Yes, this is a family owned Italian restaurant. We tried the buffet during the week and it was one of the BEST buffets we have ever had. All of the food was made from scratch and delicious. Salads, vegetables, pizza, lasagna, all kinds of Italian meat and pasta dishes...superb. This restaurant is...
For pizza, I have to give this authentic Italian restaurant FIVE stars! This is the very BEST pizza I have ever had. Try their Italian sausage and add the mushrooms, green pepper, and onions to the pizza and you will be in heaven! They also have an excellent all you can eat buffet during the week...

I love this place!! Too bad it is so far on the south side of South Bend. They do have a couple locations that offer Bruno's pizza, but it just is not the same atmosphere and people who wait on you.
One of the best pizza's I have ever eaten!! AND a great value. The pizza pies here are HUGE!!!
Bruno's is the bomb! Best pizza I have ever eaten and I am Italian!!! Love the atmosphere...remodeling underway for restrooms. Great service...always with a smile! And Barnaby's won best pizza in South Bend? You have got to be joking!!! Bruno's is a South Bend tradition owned by a wonderful local fa...
What an outstanding meal! The combo salad was fresh and delicious. The sampler meal gave me fettucine, chicken parmesan and lasagna - they all get five stars! Service was excellent from the greeting at the entrance to the friendly waitstaff. This was my first time dining at Bruno's and I'll defi...
Absolutely wonderful! We were there last night to celebrate Valentine's Day (yes, a day late) for your dinner for 2. Purchased the coupon on Living Social so we could try out something new. It was unbelievable and well worth the drive from Goshen. Both husband and I got the sampler platter and h...
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST IN TOWN. FABULOUS SELECTION, GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND FLAVORFUL, FRESH SELECTIONS.

This romantic Italian restaurant is a hidden gem! My husband and I discovered it last week, and if you love homemade Italian pasta, this is your place. Everything was delicious! I had their special of the day...a chicken dish, and their alfredo linguini is superb. There was beautiful Italian mus...
This is a great local/family owned restaurant with authentic and delicious Italian food. There is a lot I could say about the place, but to be honest, its one of those places that you need to check out yourself to really appreciate. My wife and I are personally fans of Mama’s Lasagna, with extra t...
My wife and I visited Sunny Italy Cafe a week ago. We are both working professionals in our early 30's. We arrived at 4:45pm just 15 minutes after opening. There was one couple (I'd say mid 40's) already seated.
We were seated next to a drafty window and my wife wore her jacket for the entire mea...
Food was terrible and service was slow. Home style atmosphere left me feeling cheap. (but the bill did not!)
I will never eat here again.
We traveled to South Bend to attend a Notre Dame football game. Our hotel provided a publication from the South Bend Convention Bureau that described this restaurant as "South Bend's oldest Italian restaurant." It never occurred to us that enduring existence isn't a direct correlaton to the quality ...
Best Italian food in the area, all dishes home made.
