Brogino's

Delicious food and service was even better. Omar the server was so attentive. Give him a good tip.

Whenever in the LA area, Brogino's in Redondo Beach is a stop for us for Italian food. We live on the east coast, so Philly Italian food is a regular specialty for us. Brogino's is right there in terms of quality. Omar and Jeanette are special people. Our visits are always better because of them. Great hosts.

New to Redondo Beach. Passed a few time by Broginos had a birthday to celebrate, so decided to make reservations at Broginos. As soon as I got there, I was greeted by the staff. my party of 4 where seated promptly Due to the reservation I noticed right away by the ambiance reminded me of little Italy back east. From the tablecloths and the décor.As we were seeded we were promptly greeted by The server Omar.. we ordered a bottle of wine as the server was popping The cork and pouring the wine. He proceeds to go over items on the menu. Explaining any concerns we had or questions. He was very polite and nice, even though one person in our party was ordering off the menu. The food was bought out very promptly salad first, then the soup the salad was very cold and crisp. With a nice Italian dressing. The soup was vary good as well. The entrees were delicious. I had the chicken piccara very much recommend it. The server omar was very professional As we finish the night with one more bottle of wine. I can highly recommend Broginos restaurant.

This lil mom n pops restaurant is to die for. Omg I'm not a fan of italian food but son is. We stopped by 1 time and we keep coming back. We are from OC and the drive to get us some good food is so worth it. Highly recommend. Food is off the cart. Service is excellent. Timing is perfect. Nothing bad to say about them.

Had such a great time at Brogino’s! Omar was an awesome bartender; I asked him to come up with something more fall themed, and he absolutely delivered. The drink was perfect, and the ambience was just as good. Great neighborhood restaurant and bar… definitely worth checking out!

Went with a friend who goes a lot. It was kinda like going to Cheers. Everybody know his name and he knew them. We sat in a both in the bar area. It was pretty busy for a Wednesday night. Probably one of the friendliest places I've been in a long time. Has a great menu and what I had was delicious.

Feel like having a meal at home, because every dish here is so simple while with a lot of hearts 🥰 Caprese here served by Brogino's is flavorful, the sliced tomatoes, the mozzarella, the basil, and the sprinkles of Parmesan cheese, and of course the olive oil and vinegar, ideally blended together, you will not stop having the next pile of it. For main dish, I ordered Chicken Piccata, made of thinly pounded, flour-dredged chicken cutlets in a tangy sauce of butter, white wine, lemon juice, and capers, finished with fresh parsley. Never tasted caper-based sauce, so light and fresh while you can enjoy the rich chicken breast, OMG, you have to come here for it. One thing worth mentioning is the interior decorations here, so old fashioned Italian style, kind of like movie.

Cozy, classic, Italian traditional place. Good quality service. Big portions of home-made taste food. They make their own bread and it is fantastic. Menu has a great selection. Not super cheap, but very fair prices, please note that “a la carte” is just the dish, and “complete” comes with soup and salad. For places likes this is that I love the South Bay.

The ambience outside is great. The food was better than I remembered as it's been some time since our last visit. We already talked about going back. Our server, while very attentive and personable, needs to do better with his mask. All other staff I saw were 100%. A bit surprised that they haven't converted to paper menus.

Reliable, local Italian restaurant with an expansive menu. I liked the fact that there were so many regulars dining while I was there. The servers seemed to recognize everyone, which was great. The food was tasty, it just didn't blow me away or anything.

They need more people working there because the service took too long to get our food even our drinks but other than that the food was excellent

What a wonderful local spot. Quiet. Good conversation with our dinner. Minestrone was very tasty. And our salad was tossed at our table. Dressing was light. Main dish was very good and generous portions. Lemoncello truffle was magical.

This place has been here since the 70s and the food has been consistently serving authentic Italian. It’s not a big establishment. The lower rating comes from the parking, delayed service & food wait time. On our last visit on a weekday, they seemed understaffed. Two servers (one was also the bartender) for the whole place about fourteen tables. Took 10 min after being seated to have the server come by to take drink orders. Server was apologetic and was pleasant but after taking drink orders, took another 10 min to get them. He was running around handling so many tables , it took him a while to return for food order. After taking order, he said kitchen was backed up but would get it as soon as possible. (Table across had the same issue of slow service). Food- Table Bread products came out as often as requested. Not what I would call classic garlic bread but fresh. They also had pizza flavored pita bread slices. Entrees are generous portions & very good tasting. What I would call authentic. If you order the meal, you get a tasty bowl of minestrone soup and a dinner salad as part of your meal. Their marinara with meat sauce is one of the best in the South Bay. Dessert of tiramisu was underwhelming as it served in a cup for $14.95. Overall, I liked it, I didn’t love it! I wanted to but can’t!

Made reservation for group of five to celebrate a birthday. Waitress sat us at table for four. I asked a waiter if this was where we are to sit and he said we have a table for your group of five over here so we moved. Waitress took drink order of four beers. One was not having a beer. (She reported the beer were requested were out of stock so we changed our choices). She brought five. I told her no, we ordered 4. We ordered the combined meals that come with Bread, soup, salad, side of pasta, entree, and dessert. At one point a second side of pasta was brought for three of us by a different waitress. I told her we already received our pasta side dish. She said we get two sides of pasta with our meals. But only three of us? Didn’t make sense. When our waitress brought our entrees to use we were too full and asked for to go containers. I asked for five as there are five of us. She brought them but only three bags to carry them in. I asked her for five. She didn’t understand I guess that we were from five different homes and would each take our left overs to our own homes. After having dessert the table was cleared and she brought the bill. She charged us for five beers though we only had four. I just paid the total as she didn’t return for me to ask her to adjust the bill. The place seemed disorganized and the waitress a little scattered brained. The atmosphere was wonderful. The food like mama would make. Pasta over cooked. Same meat sauce for each dish so flavor is the same. The service not so good. Maybe they were not prepared for the number of customers they had for dinner on New Years. This was my first time here and I will probably try them again. Sad to be over charged.

Atmosphere: I enjoyed the cozy, family setting Service: friendly, hospital, flexible, and great Food: fair. For that price point, the entrees were small. The Chicken Florentine was tasty and crisp but only included two chicken breasts. Osso buccon was fairly good but had more bone than meat. The meals included house salad which was fresh, but the soup and pasta accompanying them were overly salted. Garlic bread was okay.

On Sunday the 23 the family and I went to Brogino's a Resturant that I have been eating at for decades. I ordered one of my favorites Scalops over angel hair. Right off something seemed off. The scallops that use to be the size of a fifty cent pieces were now the size of a quarters. Worse than that, they were flavorless. I suspect maybe they were frozen as opposed to fresh. I really should have asked! The butter and garlic sauce was so heavy with capers that is all I could taste butter and capers. Anyway, I was very disappointed. I'll try the again but next time I'll send the meal back if it isn't any better!

Really disappointed in the customer service. Had a double birthday dinner reserved, for a party of 6. Had called twice to confirm. When we get there, the staff had clearly totally forgotten or neglected to write it down, and tried to split our party to two tables. It was just very disappointing as we looked forward to the food and ambiance and celebrating together, but alas. Zero empathy from anyone on their team, though.
