Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What can I say. I'm a total sucker for Bruno's. If in Kinsale, I have to have at least one night out here. Not a pizza eater but their menu always has something and they cook a steak to (my) perfection. Atmosphere is delightful. Small,...pokey but warm and full of buzz. Whats not to like... Except having to leave for the next sitting to take the table... But once you know that... Its grand!More

Best Pizza we ever had! We were passing through Kinsale and stopped to meet friends who run a Dive Business called Oceanaddicts. We booked and were lucky to get a small table by a window, in my opinion the best seat in the house. I...could almost touch my pizza as it was being made. The cook could have almost reached my table with his pizza paddle. It was a busy spot, Staff were courtious and friendly. The food was delicious with a crispy base. Pizzas were served on a wooden board. We were sorry we gad to leave to travel home. The next day we visit, I will allloow more time.More

We had take-away pizzas twice from Brunos and both times they were excellent, the white Gorgonzola pizza, pepperoni pizza and the anchovy, all had a perfect base and classic good ingredients. Friendly service, ready on time, they saw us happily through rainy days.

We didn’t know what to expect but when we walked in, Bruno’s was cozy and charming. The hostess/waitress greeted us, asked if we had reservations—which we did not. However, she was so sweet to let us have a table as we had about an hour....We are so glad she did that for us. We are from Chicago and haven’t had pizza this good in a very long time. We also each had side salads that were fresh and dressed perfectly. Highly recommend but probably make a reservation!More

Fantastic hidden Gem in Kinsale, Great atmosphere in Bruno's and the staff were amazing. Nice menu, small but everything you want from a good Italian, the decor is very quaint. I can't wait to go back and would highly recommend Bruno's.

We came out of Black Pig and smelled the wonderful aroma of garlic. Walked in and made a reservation on the spot. They said they would call us the next day but I never received a call. They said they called and had it written...down we didn't answer. Well, cell phones capture missed calls and when we arrived said we did not have a reservation even though they had it written down. The best thing that happened was we stumbled into Finns and someone had just canceled. I can't believe Brunos could be better. My advice, go to Finns. They were incredibly friendly, unlike brunos.More

Really disappointed. We were looking forward to our experience, but upon arriving for our reservation 10 MINUTES EARLY, our confirmed window table had been given away to another couple (who had walked in) and we were asked to sit at a dirty and used table...against a wall. Granted it would have been cleaned, but this establishment clearly does not honor their reservations. The guy behind the counter appeared aloof and uncaring about the customer experience. Not sure what the food is like, so this review is based on our 5 minute experience.More

The owner from our B&B was able to contact the owner and get a table for us at this usually booked-out Italian restaurant. The menu had some very authentic Italian choices that looked delicious. However, my sister and I opted for the wood-fired margarita pizza....We were not disappointed. I ate every bite! The location in Kinsale is perfect on a lovely, easy-to-find street.More

This lovely, charming restaurant is actually on the site of a medieval lighthouse, complete with a well. Sheila, our waitress, told us all about it, and even got us laminated information sheets! The food was all home cooked and delicious, from a small menu with...daily specials. Really good value, and the setting was divine.More

A very pleasant and welcoming restaurant indeed. Pizza is as good as it gets with a crisp base, thanks to their young and very capable pizza maker. The pesto pasta and pear and Gorgonzola salad are both excellent. Highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable...meal once you’re over novelty of the fancy places. Be sure to call and book, they are very busy (which is no surprise given the quality of the food).More

Had a great evening at Bruno’s. The food was excellent - we tried the pasta of the day and the pizza and both were delicious. Not usually one for dessert we decided to try the two on offer - a tiramisu and a salted caramel...chocolate dessert. OMG! They were both fantastic. The service was excellent and there was a relaxed easy vibe which made the evening all the more memorable.More

Yes you can park just across from the Kinsale Yacht Club in a public parking lot and then walk up to Bruno's.
