Has been a long time favourite. Always great food and service. We hadn’t been for awhile due to not living in the area anymore but they still remembered our favourite dish.
Delicious food every time and always made so welcome by all. One of our favourites.
I've been here multiple times with my family and the food has never let us down!
I always order the spaghetti bolognese. It's hands down the best in the Eastern suburbs and it's constantly consistent in flavour. The pasta is al denti, the sauce is perfectly balanced and you can taste the quality of the meat.
We also order different pizzas when we visit, and every one we've tried has hit the hammer on the nail. From what I've experienced, you can't go wrong with ordering here.
The only thing I believe could be improved is the ambience. As my family and I go for early dinners (5:30pm), sometimes there is no music playing which makes the atmosphere feel a little empty.
Nevertheless, the staff are friendly and it's a fantastic resturant for a dinner with the family!
Thought we would give this place a try as we were looking to eat somewhere new and we wernt disappointed! Its a cute, modern restaurant with a great ambience and nice interiors. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food was fantastic! We started with Bruschetta which was great and then i had the Vegetarian risotto. So delicious! The best risotto ive had in a long time, light and fluffy, had a nice tasty flavour and the vegetables tasted so fresh. The only negative was the portion of the risotto was a bit too much, couldnt finish it which was a shame! But otherwise, a great restaurant to see and try! Highly recommended :)
The food is always absolutely delicious. True Italian dishes. Staff are lovely and always welcoming. One of my absolute favourite restaurants to visit.
Highly recommended.
Really nice service here. The pizzas that we had were good, but the stand out was the chicken and mushroom risotto, which was one of the best risottos I’ve had in a long time.
We celebrate birthday and never disappoint the choice we made One of the best expirience we had though food was just awesome, gorgeous service and friendly stuff! Definitely will coming back!
They're always happy to accommodate our vegetarianised menu items, so thumbs up. Reasonable prices, prompt service, and consistent cooking. A good takeaway place for us.
Brunelli is particularly good at producing quality pasta dishes. The Lasagna that we had was no exception. Layers of al dente pasta were filled with cheese and hearty bolognese.
The gnocchi is another must-have dish. These hand-made pillows of love go perfectly with the rich veal ragu.
Ambience: 2/5
Food: 3.5/5
Service: 4/5
Will I return: Maybe
Was in the Doncaster area so decided to try this restaurant located on the corner of a strip of shops filled with restaurants. Came here on a Saturday night and it wasn't busy at all. Staff are friendly and courteous and prompt with service. We ordered two pizzas and a prawn fettuccini to share. The pizza bases were soft and crispy at the bottom. The eggplant pizza we had was quite good but I personally didn't enjoy the large pieces of anchovies they put on the pizza. It made parts of the pizza way too salty and would've been better if it was in smaller pieces and sprinkled. The prawn pasta had great flavours in the red sauce, however, the fettuccini itself was over cooked and not al dente at all. It is not bad for a local Italian restaurant but it certainly can't compare to the more well known places. The prices for the main dishes can be on the more expensive side but for the woodfired pizzas, prices were reasonable.
Good quality food with a nice intimate setting. The staff are friendly and you cannot go wrong with this place. Good for a quiet mid week feed or a family event on a weekend.
Since the new Chef has taken over.
The meals have jumped to the next level.
Its allway fresh,hot and tasty .
There never seems to be much of a wait.
Oh yeah the pizzas is amazing.

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.
I am not a big fan of Italian food but we had a family gathering there so I had to attend. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and the atmosphere. We visited as a group of 10, with ages between 5 - 55 and and everyone loved their dishes. Portion sizes are generous and filling and the menu is varied so there's a choice for everyone. Highly recommended.
Every time I've been here it has been great! The food is delicious, the service is warm and friendly, and the value for money is spot on. I catch up with a friend here regularly and we talk a lot! At Brunelli we don't have to shout over loud music or noise. It's quiet and relaxed and we always enjoy ourselves
We frequent Brunelli and now in lock down still get takeaway. The service is always friendly and food is always great! I get so annoyed when people go to their local restaurant which they have attended many times and then use discount vouchers....it’s so rude! Just support your local business through this difficult time and make sure they are still there when things get back to normal. These guys work hard and we have always enjoyed their great food and service so it’s 5 stars from us!
Loved the Garlic Prawn pasta, prosciutto Pizza and kid's Bolognese.
Cocktails were delicious as well.
But most importantly the staff were patient and very friendly.
I'll definitely go there again.
Recommend.
