It was the only restaurant that was willing to open for us on Monday the 21st March 2022 as it was a public holiday. We stayed over on our way to Mossel Bay. We were five adults and we had a lovely evening with good...food and friendly service.More

We booked and visited to enjoy a hearty lunch at Bruno’s. Our party of six enjoyed respectively a beef burger (home-made patty made from heritage Karoo beef), crumbed kassler chops, a lamb duo with Rogan Josh curry and riblets, and lasagne. Also on the menu...that I would like to taste next time are the bobotie or lamb pies. Generous portions, fresh ingredients, friendly service albeit a bit slow during the busy Stoep Tasting wine festival. But it was worth the wait. Ideal for hearty Karoo dishes.More

Bruno’s has been associated with pizza since the 1990’s – when Bruno Reolon opened it. It has seating inside between white washed walls, or outside. Mostly pizzas are served, with a garden salad, desserts & coffees as extras. A “Karoo Tafel” or table, is served,...but requires a reservation. The plant based, lamb curry and anchovy pizzas are my favourites – thin crusts and wood oven fired. The Karoo Tafel offers a hearty Karoo dinner with fresh, local ingredients, including dessert. Ideal for a relaxed Karoo dinner.More

Breakfast was served at Bruno's. The table was beautifully laid with a name tag. The meals were well presented and very tasty. Service was very friendly, bilingual and prompt.

Strolled around town and into Bruno’s for a late lunch. We weren’t disappointed by our pizzas. Fantastic thin and crispy bases. Explored the fascinating underground cellar while waiting for our food.

If it's open for business, go and try their pizzas - really better than most RSA competitors - cold beer and a cosy fire in winter.

This is the place for pizza - with seating inside between white washed walls, or outside seating perfect for summer evenings. Mostly pizzas are served, with a garden salad, desserts & coffees as extras. The plant based, lamb curry, Thai chicken and meaty (soutvleis &...salami) pizzas are best. Toppings are generous, crusts are thin and crispy and these Karoo pizzas are served with loads of fresh herbs. The owners visit each table personally and service is friendly. Ideal for the best pizza!More

Crisp, thin based pizza with local ingredients toppef with fresh herbs. Fantastic to find delicious, professional pizza in the Karoo! Our party - all from big cities, agreed that it was the best pizza we have ever eaten! I loved the anchovy pizza, although the...lamb curry pizza as well as the seasonal gammon pizza were also favourites in our party. Relaxed setting & good service too.More

Crazy about pizza, we opted to try Bruno’s in Nieu Bethesda. The bases offered a good crisp bite. The sauces were savoury with bright notes and the toppings and herbs were vibrant and fresh, baked with a generous amount of cheese. The premises are an...open floor concept, where you can take a sneak peek at the food being prepared. Ludolf and Carla, the owners looked after us and cooked us one of their speciality pizza, the spicy Lamb, it was incredible. Lovely little pizzeria in a beautiful setting!More

We settled with drinks on the terrace underneath the pink Karoo sky. Once inside, we enjoyed the atmospheric building with its white washed walls, candle light and the soothing rain outside. Our table shared a focaccia – crisp, not overtly flavoured with garlic and delicious....Then followed an array of pizzas – Karoo lamb, Thai chicken, Kudu salami and Anchovy pizza – all served with fresh herbs on thin, crisp bases and were generous in toppings. Friendly service ensured a relaxed evening.More
