Brunelli

Revised 4* review: 18/06/2020: Brunelli is back open with restricted seating because of Corona Virus. Bookings are definitely needed as there are only 6 or so tables available at any time. Original 4* review. We've eaten here several times over the last 10 or more years. Brunellis always seems to be busy which is a good sign for a smallish local suburban restaurant. We went on a Wednesday night and the place was at least 80% full, but our party of 5 was comfortably and promptly accomodated. Clean modern styling in the restaurant, even the toilets were modern and spotless. Environment wise only complaint was it was a bit cold inside and we all spent the 2 or so hours or so we were there with our jackets on. Ordered mains, salads and entrés as mains as well as a few desserts. Everything was delicious, and as the waitress explained when I tried to order one of the Stracceti di Manzo ( Strip Fillet Steak  with red peppers) entrés that the entrés were very large and unless I was ravenous, should be sufficient. She was right, they were huge! We also had a seafood salad, Mushroom Veal, a Pasta dish and a very large Greek Salad. Panna Cotta, and a Sticky Date for Dessert. All the dishes were generous serves and attractively plated. We sampled several of their wines by the glass, all were delicious, especially the Loose Leaf CabSav. All were, we think, reasonably priced at $8 a glass. The waiters were friendly and attentive, without being clingy and gave knowledgeable advice about the meals we ordered. Only things not giving a 5 star was that my mother's main dish was forgotten, and had to be requested again as the rest of the group were half way through their mains when we realised her dish was not coming. Staff were very apologetic and the main arrived in less than 5 minutes. They also offered us a free dessert along with their apologies. We enjoyed our meal and drinks and will definitely be back again

Not too expensive, and the meals are quite large (we all had leftovers). Desserts are simple bit so tasty. Will definitely come back, perfect for a small get together.

Nice cozy restaurant with stone fired pizza oven. Meals are good, but I'd recommend ordering pizza.
