Bruno’s Italian Villa Restaurant in Benton

I got the stramboli it was way more than I could eat but I tried it was so good. Definitely have to try and don't let the outside fool you

No frills but delicious Italian! Full wine and beer selection. Great for traveling between Little Rock and Hot Springs/Malvern. Easy off and on bypass. My sauce was delicious and reasonable prices.

Yuck...not even close to being Italian food. Kroger (oops, baked too much/day old) bread with canned parmigian cheese sprinkled on top. Sampler plate for lunch of 3 dishes, I think?? Couldn't tell where one started or ended or what it was! Had a tomato sauce topping all which tasted fermented or overloaded with vinegar...idk what flavor they were shooting for... couldn't eat more than 2 bites because of flavor being so soured. And I love almost any Italian food!!... Little Ceasar's is better choice any day of the week. Sorry to the owner, just delivering some honesty to you. But you only get one chance to impress....very let down.

Great place to eat great service great food good home town people that own and operate that restaurant I would recommend it for any occasion

Authentic Italian food. Good personable service. Good food for a good price.

Yummy food. It is not too expensive and is not far to drive to.

Right down the road from my house so I am a little biased. Doesn't look like much on the outside but they have great authentic Italian food.

Great spot for lunch but even better prices than I could imagine for the quantity.

Excellent food and service! 😊 Love their homemade cheese pizza, villa salad and shrimp scampi. Food was fast and delicious, as we usually go between lunch and dinner. May be a little wait if during peak times(lunch/dinner), but so worth the wait.

The food was wonderful and the service was superb. I was a bit concerned when just finding this restaurant online but, it was great! Welcoming atmosphere and the perfect spot for a second date.

Best Italian in Saline county and on par with any of Pulaski county's options. Great Sunday buffet and a new breakfast offering coming soon. We love the service everyone knows our family and remembers us every visit!

Small out of the way place. The service was excellent. The food was served hot. They start you out with warm homemade bread and a garlic butter. One could ruin a meal by eating to much of that good bread. Allow enough time for food preparation. Food is cooked to order. It does not take long to get food. The food taste fresh and not out a bag or can. Put this on your list to visit if you like good italian food. Try the lunch special. They take call ahead and call to pick up.

Food was wonderful! Staff was vary nice the owner/ chief even came out to ask how everyone's food was. Will defntley be returning!

delicious food, friendly staff,fresh cook food. very authentic Italian food.

Were you born and raised in the NE like me, Trenton philly or ny? Look no further for that old timey pizza food shops we had everywhere up there.The pizza is perfect and brings me back to my childhood. The cheesesteaks and meatball subs are awesome and authentic too. Really floored by the pizza. Great place and my new place while I live here.

This place has rude staff and waited about an hour for one pizza! Will Not be back again!! We also watched as the servers prepared salad and food with no gloves on their hands.

The veal parmigiana smothered in Bruno"s marina is very good! The spaghetti sauce has just enough spice. My mother enjoyed the pasta fijoli soup.

The food was delicious! The flavors were wonderful and you receive a good portion of food. Definitely will return!!!

The food is so delicious!! Toasted Ravioli, Spaghetti with meatballs, Alfredo with penne pasta, & the Manicotti....... Best Italian food I've had in a long time. You have to try this place- I promise you will love it!

Best Italian food ever! I know because I come from an Italian family. I drove all the way from Springfield, Mo to get my brother who is sick with stage 4 cancer. He said that was the only thing he was hungry for and Bruno fixed him up. Thank you Bruno!

Very good food. They use quality ingredients. The prices are somewhat higher because of this. You get what you pay for!

Hands down, the best restaurant in Benton, Arkansas. I am a very picky eater, and being a professional cook it is so hard to please me, but Bruno made me very happy. From the coffee- to the house made pasta, if you want a good meal come here, and leave happy!

Great lasagna! The alfredo is a little different than what I'm used to ,but a Nice and friendly place to eat!

Service was great! Both my son and I ordered pizza which was absolutely delicious! Had been wanting to try this place ever since I noticed this place. So good! My 8 year old son says “just wow!” ;) do your tummy a favor and check this place out!

Love Bruno's! Cannot go wrong with spaghetti and meatballs and Italian Cream Cake. The homemade rolls, which are huge, are delicious but fair warning, save room for your pasta!

The soup was pretty damn good. Server messed up my order, chicken pesto. I got this dough ball mess, covered in pesto sauce. The way they fix this is offer to put into into it, I'm fairly agreeable at this point, and agree. They return with tiny slivers on chicken mixed in, a laughable amount at that. And the sun dried tomatoes sprinkled on top, which tasted bitter. My wife's plate was mainly sauce, so we both left still hungry. O also the bread served to us when we sat down, seemed store bought, which I wouldn't normally complain about for benton. But it was so hard, it was difficult to tear apart. Soup was pretty good though, that's why they get 2 stars

They've got a marinara sauce mixed with alfredo sauce that is delicious

Incredible food, excellent portion/price ratio. Great atmosphere and playlist.

Fantastic food! My party of three had only great things to say about our experience. From the bread to the entree all was just excellent. In addition to the food Johanna is an amazing server. A GEM! She knows the menu inside out. Recited the specials in earnest. Has personal experience with each of the dishes and makes excellent suggestions. After the meal she even provided instructions for preparing the leftovers at home. Yes I'm gushing on her but she is the Cherry on top of this great little restaurant! I live almost 90 miles away but WILL make the trip again soon. Do not judge this book by the cover! It isn't much to look at on the outside and the interior is simple. But the food... The service.... This is in my top 10! And climbing...

Bruno's is being rated a one for things that happened when it was Ed and Kay's. Example the comment about employee not getting check. NOT fair. Bruno's food is very good.

Amazing food and great service. Very glad to have found this place!

Best Italian I've had in a very long time! Can't wait to try the Sunday lunch buffet!

My husband and I stopped in there yesterday for the Sunday buffet. Good food, fairly priced, friendly staff. 👍

Adorable little restaurant!! Great authentic Italian food. Loved it! Love the peaceful little atmosphere. Neat decor too. I think they just made a regular out of me.

Ordered the Greek Pizza today and it was fantastic! This is what pizza is suppose to taste like. Loved the olives.

Very good cheese ravioli with pink sauce; homemade dressings mild and flavorful, and excellent brick oven pizzas. Great price.

Will definitely return here. Loved the food. Prices very reasonable.

Always good food. The only problem I have is the cost is a great price for the large amount of food they put on the plate more food then I can eat. But as always great service and awesome food.

closed all the time but great fantastic very good food

Unbelievable Restaurant. Best Italian restaurant I've ever had. 💯% authentic and 💯% delicious. Can't say enough good about this place. Hidden gem, no hidden gold mine!

The food is great and the staff is friendly. Often times, the owner visits with the patrons, making everyone feel welcome.

My mother and I were on a road trip and decided to stop by Bruno's for lunch on our way through Little Rock. The servers were super nice and chatty. My mother's order came back a bit oily and, since her body has problems processing oil, she asked if she could exchange it for something else and the staff were very accommodating and brought her a new dish, free of charge. They worked well with my mother, as she is also lactose intolerant and cant have large amounts of cheese (especially on road trip days). Overall, very awesome. 5 stars

Great food and service! A big selection of original Italian food! The owner is always around so things move very smoothly! Very consistent!

Great food, nice staff, lovely ambiance.

Best food. Love the niokie with their sausage and homemade meat sauce.

Maybe the best Italian restaurant in the Little Rock metro area. Food and service are outstanding.

Good food, good variety on kids menus, good prices, delicious desserts and a great environment!! The cook cane to our table too

Don't be confused by the reviews from over 4 years ago, this was a different restaurant at the time, known as Ed and Kays and was very good. Now it is Bruno's and if you like Italian food you should love this place. Every thing is good from apps to dessert. Friendly service no matter if you dine in or carry out. Leftovers are great to have and if you manage to take some home it tastes great the second time! We visit this place often and I'm super picky about food.

Awesome place to eat, great food friendly staff great atmosphere

Friends recommend Bruno's, we had Sunday lunch their. Warm friendly service and good food!
