Enjoyed the fresh homemade food. It’s nice to see a family run business prosper and do very well. I would definitely come back as there are many things on the menu they have something different every time.

Little neighborhood establishment in Corso Italia for 50 years. Family run and loved by regulars. Homemade pasta sauce and seasonal daily specials along with the regular menu. Quiet atmosphere and friendly staff and owners who make sure guests are well taken care of and well fed.

They do not answer phone or return calls Food listed on Summerlicious menu was not all available & many variations & you were not informed ahead of time. We waited 1 hour for main course & returned it because vegetables were cold so we waited another half hour for replacement . We were credited 1 meal but found management argumentative. When you don't get out much & look forward to trying the printed menu promoted by them, to draw you there, you expect just that.

We were sat at an awkward round table (just two of us) so we had to tilt to the side to talk, the food was great but the service was inattentive. We asked to see a wine list but was there was told there wasn't one and to talk to the sister but she never came over. The waiter forgot about my coffee and only spoke to us in Italian which I didn't understand. We left right after eating and went elsewhere for wine and dessert. I recommend for this place, just get take out.

We have been to La Bruschetta multiple times over the last 20 years. We have mostly enjoyed it and loved the friendliness and great service. However, we were disappointed by the noise level and food when we dined there yesterday. Our food was bland and did not represent the price point of the menu. I expect a lot more of a past over the $20 mark. Unfortunately, I am not sure we will return any time soon.

Waited for drinks and bill for 20 minutes plus. Staff was rude when we mentioned open table. We had to ask for bread when every other table had some and when it came it was not warmed, stale and the butter was in little packages which was unprofessional. Food was okay but clearly not made from scratch.

Though the service was top notch and very accommodating, the food itself was a bit disappointing. It didn't live up to the description on the Winterlicious menu. Tomato sauce tasted like it was straight out of a can. Most things didn't seem like it was made from fresh ingredients and I don't think the food was worth the price. The white wine sangria was the best part of the meal for me.

Amazing food and great service! Very homey and a nice ambiance. I will say, we made a reso for 8 PM, which was available online, but we were the last ones by far and it really felt like staff were waiting for us to finish up. I might recommend that patrons book before 7, or that the restaurant takes away reservation options after so we don't end up feeling guilty for "imposing" (never a great feeling as a diner). Besides that, I would certainly recommend this place (for an earlier dinner reservation) and look forward to returning (for an earlier dinner reservation). Thanks team :)

Wonderful meal for extended family. Sylvia continues the family tradition - welcoming and making sure you get the meal that makes you happy. Best gnocchi anywhere - ethereal - best shared, amazing salads and if you are debating between dishes, as I always do, she will make sure to create a plate that gives you both! Our pastas and mains were perfectly prepared, presented and seasoned. Warm and friendly service, in an atmosphere making you feel welcome. Wonderful evening!
