Bruno's is a tiny Italian restaurant, very close to I-90, in a very unexpected neighborhood, W.41st and Cloud. On Fridays and Saturdays there is a security guard in the parking lot which is on Cloud. Despite it's unusual location, Bruno's is noticeably clean, even with its unisex bathroom. Walking in, there is a tiny quaint bar with a shiny cappuccino machine in the middle behind the bar and only a deuce top in the bar. On the other side of the wall to the right is the dining room which only hosts about a dozen tables. Okay, the food! First of all, their red sauce is the best in town alongside Gavi's. It is so thick you can eat it with a fork. Their food truly is from homemade recipes. Honestly, all the food is a flood of delight to your tongue. I have found that house wines are not worth ordering, here they are. Their house dressing is a 10. I especially love the aglio y olio, eggplant, and for dessert the casada cake is the best I've ever had. This is my favorite Italian restaurant in Cleveland. The servers work together, so you don't have to wait for more water, bread, or to have your dishes cleared from you. Don't forget to grab a couple business cards and matches on the way out, (across from the bar) as directions are on the back. I always grab some to give to others.
Pros: Fair pricing

The food was great. I can not recommend it more highly. Unfortunately 2 waitresses to service the dining area and the bar was not suffiecient. Service was slow, items ordered came very late. Finally, we paid our bill and left, cancelling our desert and coffee order. I plan to try again. Hopeully, corrections will be made in the dining area.
Pros: Food, Friendly staff, Knowledgeable staff
Cons: Very slow service
