We had Bruno's catering for our wedding reception (apps, dinner, and dessert) and it was perfect. The food was delicious (a lot of guests got thirds), very reasonably priced, and were great to work with. Katie, their event coordinator, is amazing. She is so receptive, kind, and made planning a breeze. They were very flexible and accommodating with the many times we altered the order on them and with our guests numerous food allergies. Our guest with celiac was ecstatic, saying how rare it is for her to be able to eat anything from an Italian restaurant. For dessert, I think all of the cannolis were gone in about 5 minutes and were the perfect assortment of finger foods to eat while dancing. They delivered perfectly on time, knew how many portions we should order, and the food was a hit.

We had a wonderful meal last night. 6 of us, plenty of space, great quality, food and prices. Good drinks. I had the rigatoni Vodka pasta. It was amazing. The waiter was awesome. Amazing food. Definitely, a must try if you're visiting Portland.

Bruno’s has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, but the food was mediocre and definitely not worth the price. Portions were average, flavors were bland, and nothing really stood out. It feels more like you're paying for the setting than the meal. If you're just stopping in for a drink, it's fine—but for dinner, there are better options nearby for the same or less.

We used Bruno’s for our wedding catering and it was hands-down one of the best decisions we made. The event coordinator was amazing to work with — communicative, organized, and made the entire process feel effortless. On the day of the wedding, the team truly went above and beyond, delivering the food to us and even helping with setup, which took so much stress off our plate.
Now let’s talk about the food… unreal. Everything was absolutely delicious, and our guests would not stop talking about it all night. The eggplant parm deserves its own shoutout — people were genuinely raving about it and going back for seconds (and thirds). The dessert tray was completely wiped out by the end of the night, which says it all. They also graciously accommodated a gluten-free option, which our guests really appreciated.
Overall, an incredible experience from start to finish. Amazing service, phenomenal food, and true care put into everything they do. I would recommend Bruno’s to anyone looking for catering — especially for a special event. Thank you, Bruno’s, for making our wedding day that much better. 💛

Enjoyable meal in a nice, fairly quiet outdoor area. Lunchtime prices were very affordable. Service was good. Fries were fresh, hot, and crispy. Potato salad was creamy and flavorful. Sandwiches - eggplant and chicken, were both good. We were able to take home half of our sandwiches too. Would go here again any time.
