Some of the best nights at Bruno's end the same way. An espresso, something sweet for the table, and a few more minutes before anyone is ready to leave. Our specials change with the season, so there is usually something new to try. Ask your server what's on tonight and save room for dessert.

Every family business has a beginning, and this was ours. Bob Napolitano outside the original location on India Street in 1981, long before Allen Avenue and long before Bruno’s became a tradition for so many Portland families.

A table full of food is always a good place to start. Order the antipasto, pass the bread, pour the w**e, and let everyone help themselves. It is the kind of meal that has brought people together at Bruno's for years. Come in this week and pull up a chair. https://bit.ly/3HmUlml

Every year there's a stretch when you need a sweatshirt to sit outside, but you still want to sit outside. We're in it now. Bruno's hoodies, crewnecks, and beanies are available at the restaurant, and the espresso martini is waiting at the bar. Grab something warm, order something cold, and get a few more nights on the patio. Stop into Bruno's this week.

Warm weather in Maine never lasts quite long enough, which is all the more reason to make the most of it. Come settle in on the patio at Brunos for a drink, a good meal, and one of those summer evenings you wish would stretch a little longer.
