Dined in this restaurant with the family for a birthday celebration. The place had a great atmosphere. Our server Peter was excellent! He was very accommodating, knowledgeable, and have lots of recommendations about places to visit. The food were delicious and came in big portions. We enjoyed our time here!
We come here every year when we visit Florida for our timeshare vacation. This place has a permanent scheduled meal during our trip. The portions are large and compared to all the seafood prices around its a very good deal. I have an early dine menu that actually has options you want to eat on it. We often go there on a Tuesday evening because kids eat free with a purchase of an adult meal (One kids meal per one adult). Our servers name was Dee and he did an awesome job. Since weve been there multiple times each server we had always did great. Its nice when a restaurant can get good workers. I bring you oil and freshly baked bread before your meal to get things started. Atmosphere is good and they have a nice outside seating area that is shaded. Be careful when looking to come here on the weekends because it does get crowded. Early dining is on the menu up until 6:00 p.m. Oh and the early dine options dont include any veal. In other words if you order one of the early dine options but ask for the veal edition then you will pay full price. Im not a drinker but I know a good wine list when I see one. I guarantee youll find something you like here. Give them a try.
Fabulous food, lovely ambiance - this has quickly become a favorite spot of mine. The food has been consistently wonderful, even with a packed restaurant each time Ive gone for dinner. Our server, Ronnie, was FANTASTIC and frankly, Id recommend requesting to sit in his area if possible. Kudos to the owner for being present, too. Always love seeing an owner take pride in their biz.
Went for the first time and definitely dont regret it. This is one of my favorite go-to spots for Italian now. Staff were lovely (even though they were very busy on a Wednesday night). Food and drinks were great plus reasonably priced. The ambience was nice. Overall both my wife and I were impressed. We are locals and were worried this place might end up being the type that puts out mediocre food since tourists cycle through the area but that was not the case at all.
Service was great! Very attentive to our needs. Bread was very warm and fresh. The Caesar was okay (not the best I’ve had) and I wouldn’t spend the $2.50 on it if I got it again. I had the seafood bake special and it was absolutely delicious! My mother had the risotto with chicken and she loved it as well. I would definitely recommend this place while you are here.
We went for lunch. It was quiet, we sat outside dining. Our waiter was awesome!!!!! This was Saturday 10/30.We ordered 2 slices of pizza with a salad. He brought the most delicious rolls with olive oil dip to the table. Oh my the food was absolutely delicious.
Amazing place to Eat! The food tastes delicious, the atmosphere is calm and relaxing but the service was without a doubt the best I have had in a very long time! If you are from out of town (like us) I would definitely recommend asking for Peter as your waiter! He was honestly the best waiter my wife and I have ever had ANYWHERE!
We had a large group out for dinner here and we had a blast! Service was just a bit slow because our server was new and they were pretty busy. Our food came out and was delicious. I strongly recommend the calamari for an appetizer and the blackened tilapia with shrimp and scallops! Our entire group enjoyed their food and I would definitely come back when I visit this area. Cocoa Beach is a great area and Branos was in walking distance of our hotel and the gorgeous beach!
Wonderful service and excellent authentic Italian food!!! Cass was a doll and took very good care of us!!! Our first time here and to Cocoa Beach, this was a great experience. I went rogue and got the pot roast and potatoes. The calzones are huge, the chicken parm is as well. We loved it, especially the dipping oil for their bread!!!If the owner sees this, I too my lemon Berry mascarpone to go and the ants really enjoyed it! I’ll have to come back and eat it at the restaurant and not take it to go next time!
Food was very good, freshly made not like so many other places the heat up pre-made product and serve it as if they made it. I had the Pot roast lunch which was made perfectly, tender and juicy, so full of flavor. My Husband got the Eggplant Parmigiano and it was great! Our Server Kathryn was fantastic, very attentive and knowledgeable.
Great service, large portions and delicious food. The meatball sampler is big enough for dinner if you add a side of pasta or potatoes. And its delicious
We were greeted with a smile and seated immediately. The staff was friendly, the appetizers were delicious. We ordered and were later informed they had forgot to set the pizza dough out last night because they were busy so there was no pizza. I ordered a mixed drink as well and it was just so so. I get the feeling this was a 4 star in disguise but, you know.
Came here after a day at the beach. Sat out on the porch. Nice relaxing laid back atmosphere. Staff is friendly and efficient. Had minestrone soup and swordfish with shrimp and scallops. Enjoyed all of it..well a bit spicy for me but still enjoyed it.A member of our group needed gluten free menu items which were available.
Very much a family favorite. We eat here several times during every trip to Cocoa Beach. Reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. Excellent quality food. Cant beat the lunch specials. We call every day to see what the chef has as a special. Love, love, love this place.
We ate dinner here because they were open later than most sit down restaurants after 9pm. The place was packed but we only waited 20 min or so to be seated. I ordered the duck pictured below. It was $27. Waitress says she only get about one order a week for it. It was good, tasty sweet sauce. Got two leg/thigh sections that had a good amount of meat. Probably would have got chicken next time just cause I couldnt tell it wasnt chicken except the meat was a much darker color. We had caprese for appetizer, big tomato slices and small mozzarella slices but still good. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. Food on par with Olive Garden.
All I can say is OMG!!!! This is the Best Italian food I ever had..we bumped into this place while driving around Coco Beach for a place to dine.. Our waitress was so pleasant and fun.. And on point on making us fell comfortable, the drinks dont disappoint, lets just say it is far from being watered down..loved it! And the Food omg.. So seasoned. And the best ever Tiramisu.. I swore this was going to be over $100 for two. And it wasnt.. We will be back!!
Restaurant has a nice rustic atmosphere. The food was very good with good portions. There mushroom 🍄 Brie soup Ed to die for. Our waiter Brian was awesome very helpful with choices and very knowledgeable with the menu. Service was great and timely.
Would give Branos 10 stars if I could. We come here every year in October from out of town. Always great food and service!
Our food was utterly amazing! My husband and I are foodies and are quite critical of everything we eat. Bread was delicious! We ordered Calamari as our appetizer and it was cooked perfectly. My husband ordered chicken parmigiana which was tender, the noodles were cooked to perfection and his side of meatballs were divine. Authentic Italian food at its finest. My seafood bake was absolutely delicious. Being from New England I am a seafood lover but was skeptical of ordering anything but pasta. SO GOOD! Kudos to their chef, and top notch service to say the latest. Highly recommend!
We have eaten here twice now and have enjoyed every bite. The blackened seafood is to die for. The side veggys were fresh and cooked to perfection and the seafood was spiced perfectly. Angelina our waitress was outstanding, very personable with great menu suggestions. This is becoming our go-to place for Italian/seafood fare.
FANTASTIC! The swordfish, branzino, pizza, and chicken alfredo were great. Service was top notch. Wonderful locally owned restaurant.
Nice place to eat Italian food at a great price. The plates of food were very generous. Although they were very busy, the service and food was good. I really enjoyed the sausage and peppers in spaghetti sauce.
We eat at Brano’s about once a month or so and it’s always good service, food, drinks and everything. Tonight, Guy was our server for the first time and our food was running a little bit behind. He came out to the table and was upfront and honest about one of our plates getting a little over done. Moments later an appetizer appeared in front of us to try to make up for the food taking an extra few minutes. The Appetizer that they brought out for us was delicious. Guy handled the situation perfectly and on top of that after having our meals they brought dessert out for us as an extra “sorry” which was completely unnecessary, but well enjoyed. Guy was an excellent server, Brano’s its always on top of it even if they make a mistake they more than cover for it. Being in the restaurant business myself I know how much this means as a restaurant owner aswell as a customer
What a beautiful experience dining here. Our server was so polite & helpful. And the food was divine. Appropriately priced. I’ll be returning of course.
Wish we could remember our servers name. Prob the best server in the joint. He had a recommendation for everything and it was all fire (great). Ask for the server with a cpl tattoos and you wont regret it!!! 🤷♂️
Our food was delicious. So Authentic. Our waitress, Angelina was a delight. We will be back next trip down here. and probably again before we leave this time. I would recommend to all.
So I order a pizza for $24, great deal but it will take 20minutes. No problem I’ll grab a drink at the bar (bourbon and Coke $8, Ok it’s a small local place and I support local restaurants). I then ask for 3 little plastic containers of Parmesan cheese, basil and red peppers to go with my pizza and these guys charge me $7. I supported the original Branos in Indian Harbour Beach when they first opened. Guess what, I won’t be back, seriously l: I order a pizza and bread and get a high priced drink from the bar and they charge me $7 for some little cup of Parmesan cheese, red peppers and basil. Hell the extras cost me as much as the pizza and bread?
Food was great, waitress was super nice. They also had live music
This place has such good food! My friend got the Branzino (I think thats how you spell it) bass with veggies and it was amazing! Its like an upgraded Olive Garden in the atmosphere. Friendly attentive staff as well! Stop in!
The place cahrege me with 2 pizzas when I ordered 1. When I called to get resolution, the gal told me I was out of luck. Well imagine the surprise when I charge it back through my bank. Ill never order from here again. The delivery guy was cool though.
Went for lunch with the family. Excellent food at a very reasonable price. Decor was classy restaurant was clean I will bring the family again.
My wife and I were looking for a nice romantic Italian meal in the area while on vacation. It was so hard to find something open but we finally found this place. Unfortunately we arrived around 9:15pm and they were closing at 10pm. The place was pretty much empty but our awesome waiter, Peter was completely willing to give us his top service. We ordered the Spaghetti with Vodka Sauce, Seafood Arrabiatta special, salads, and a bottle of Malbec wine. Everything was fresh, delicious, and plentiful. Peter made it a point to make sure we had everything we wanted and that we were completely satisfied..which we were! He even gave us great recommendations for things to do locally. The place is clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!
I just had a tremendous uplifting service with Aloha, she was attentive and reactive to my needs. The food was great but the service will keep me coming back when I am in townThanksTim Knopp
Very nice restaurant and our waitress was great. I believe her name was Bridget.
Great food, drinks, and really friendly and attentive people that work here. Not only is the food delicious but portions are really big and really good prices especially the happy hour specials. a good place to go for Italian in the area!
Great little Italian restaurant in Cocoa Beach, romantic atmosphere, a wide variety of food choices, big portions, at a great value, great selection of wines. I enjoyed a Malbec and a classic chicken Parm outside on the patio while listening to Bobby sing and it was a 10/10 experience! Thank you♥️
Food is always fresh and delicious. I love the minestrone soup! The service is great. Always a great experience.
ASK FOR D! Best server I have had in my life, outstanding experience. His name is “D” and you’ll never have to ask for anything, he is on top of everything. Plus, great guy. Ask for D!
The meal was fantastic and the menu is huge. Our server Bailey was excellent and the lunch was perfect for a fathers day meal. I had the Lasagna which was awesome, my wife had the risotto and sausage. Our table had an array of different meals and everyone left full and smiling. Did I mention Bailey? She was awesome by the way lol.Take care and Happy Eating,Rick W
Food was very well made. I had the Salmon. Not sure what the sauce was they put on it but, it was delicious. Waitress was awesome. Very nice, professional and on top of her game. We sat outside and the entertainment was very energetic and played everything from Jimmy Hendrix to Guns N Roses on the electric violin. Was welcome change from the standard dude on an acoustic guitar. We went there on a Sunday evening (May 3, 2021). Violinist said shes there Thursdays as well if your interested. Would and will go back.
Awesome dining experience! Authentic and delicious tasting Italian food. Angelina provided remarkable service too.
Service was painfully slow. Had the restaurant been busy at the time Id understand but there were only a few patrons. Disappointing.
Great staff good food and first class nighttime entertainment. Loved our evening out
Anniversary dinner chatting with some little old ladies at the bar. 💕 Fish is good. The dinner was excellent. Conversation was surpurb!
Thank you for setting our family up in your private room after our 30 year beach vow renewal. Food and service were excellent. You worked with me and put together a food selection for my family where everyone got to choose items they wanted. They are still talking about how great the food was. Thanks for ending our special night on a perfect note. We could not be any happier.
Traveling through. The place was amazing. Atmosphere was great, staff was very friendly and the food was out of this world delicious! Ill probably never get to go back there but I would definitely recommend to everyone!
The Chicken Alfredo was the best Ive ever had! Our server was not the best. I went with my mom, sister, and friend and we had never had this place before. Our server was not good at recommending any food dishes and rushed us to order because it was 2:43 and the lunch specials only last until 3. Meanwhile, a couple was seated right behind us at 3 and their server was amazing at describing dishes, told them about the lunch special and told them they had perfect timing they could still get the lunch special! This male server also offered parmesan cheese on every dish the couple got, while our server never offered it. Had we not be next to an amazing server, we would have never known about the cheese. Our server just didnt seem to want to be there and had the personality of a brick wall. The food was great though!
Great service. Great food.
I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. Tuesday is kids eat free which is Great! Our waiter was OUTSTANDING. He was a little slow at the start but it seemed like everyone came in at once. He was great and told us about some local things going on. My son was throwing a fit and he even got my kiddos a balloon and said he keeps them close just in case.The food was great! Drinks were good too.
Awesome!! Great service from Ron. Really great food for very reasonable prices. We’ll be back for sure. Wonderful evening.
We are vacationing here and we havent experienced much, but this place is definitely a great family restaurant! We had the Godfather pizza and it was sooooo good! What made it even better was our waiter, Ron B, who has an awesome personality and was great with the our tired moody kids! 😂 He also makes a killer espresso martini!
The service is absolutely top notch! Very attentive wait staff!! Ronnie and Peter are excellent servers!! Ask for either one.Food was excellent as well. We ate here two nights in a row. Lasagna was wonderful! Clam chowder, one of the best! BIG warm spinach salad w shrimp and scallops is delicious! Kiddo loved the pizza. It’s a slightly different flavor profile than kiddo is used to, but he ate it all up. Two thumbs up from him, and he’s súper picky about pizza.We’re big foodies, and very particular about food. The fact that we ate here twice says a lot. We highly recommend!
The food is incredible! The service is fast and very nice! It’s very casual, (and the music is very nice), they do not offer ice cream though. But everything is amazing. I recommend the spaghetti with meatballs and meat sauce. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. If you’re going to Florida or are in Florida, go here!
We made a reservation for 7 pm for a party of 8 and upon arriving, we were told that our table was still occupied by the previous party. Being very understanding that the previous party was not ready to vacate the table, I entertained suggestions for other seating arrangements by the host. The host made several attempts to find seating, yet to no avail. A table for a reserved large party, at a later time, was set up and vacant yet the management staff refused to seat us at the prepared table. The management staff refused to give us the vacant, prepared table because she didnt want to assign our party to a different waitor. The table couldve easily been given to us, since it was ready, and our original table couldve easily been set up for the later party. However, the management staff made no reasonable attempt to accommodate us or resolve the situation. Sadly, employees like her make it bad for a good restaurant.
Amazing pasta dishes & first class service! Cassie is a fabulous server with an awesome personality! 🙂
Very pleasant servers down to earth happy laughing having a good time with the customers everybody loves it nice little local place just to go in and sit down and have a beautiful Italian dinner and management is always around to make sure that everything is taken care of for you and the drinks are wonderful
We were so impressed! They were super busy, but they got us seated in a reasonable amount of time. The owner himself was out bussing tables, helping wait staff, and talking with customers. My son thought the marina was some of the best hed had. The food was priced very reasonably for the excellent quality. We will be back on our next trip to Cocoa Beach!
Food was great. & I believe Ron was my server. He was very pleasant & patient with us. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Good food and service, nice atmosphere, we ate outside under the awning. Very pleasant
Stopped in here with my kids over the weekend. Food was really amazing and priced right. Only leaving 4 stars because the service and wait time once we sat down was super long during our visit. But overall a clean and great local restaurant.
Very good experience! The staff is super friendly and attentive. The lasagna is amazing, minestrone soup made from scratch is amazing, the swordfish was delicious, the 3 cheese tortellini carbonara was superb, the escargot was tasty, and the chocolate cake is so sweet and rich.We had an all-round great time and enjoyed the food and environment.
Wonder full atmosphere. We had the Ruffino red blend wine which went perfectly with our lasagna bolognese and risotto. Authentic canoli and New York cheesecake. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes good Italian food. They also have family style first a great price.
Our server was great but the food was far below restaurant quality. The restaurant was not busy but it took a long time to even be acknowledged to be seated. We should have left before we even sat down... Sadly, Olive Garden taste better.
This place has amazing food, and very friendly staff. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting nearby. I make sure to eat here everytime I go to Cocoa Beach.
Beat steak I’ve ever eaten and the service was phenomenal!! Highly recommended
Absolutely loved the experience here! We came to town on a spontaneous road trip and wanted to find a decent place to get a bite, and boy were we not disappointed! Holly, our waitress was AMAZING. She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and specials going on this evening. Holly provided us with an incredible experience, add that on to the delicious food we received, and it makes for one great visit. I would come back here anytime im in town and recommend you do the same!
I was very happy with the service and the food was delicious. We had a party of 20 and everyone was pleased.
Amazing staff!! Very friendly with great Italian food!! A staple when on the A1A
Went here on accident.. thought it was a pizza shop we went to before for subs..to our surprise we got so much more..food was delicious and hot..I had philly sub.. portion size is awesome... only thing is bread brought to table was hard at first.. when we received fresh bread,it was hot and soft... restaurant was very clean... service was great...
Good food every time I go there.👍👍
The food was good, but their timing is off. Whoever ordered pizza got theres last. We all were finished eating.
My family ate there last week when we were at Westgate and the food was on point. The drinks were great also. Can’t wait to go back there again!! Wish there was one in PA.
Very delicious and beautiful plating! Nice people and very friendly! Not expensive! we will come again!
Took the scenic way home to Indian River County from Orlando airport 528 to A1A. Holy Spirit said, pull into Branos. Great thing that we listened!From the minute you walk in the door, superb service! Inside or out? Table or booth? Peter will be your server.Having dined all over the world... Best escargot!Best minestrone! Best duck mandarin! Best coconut crusted salmon! Even the best herbs and olive oil dip with bread! Oh, almost forgot to mention the caprese salad!
Delicious Italian food!I own a pizza restaurant and I definitely recommend this restaurant.The server (Zack) was awesome, I think he might have been newer to serving but he killed it! Great place all around- highly recommend!!
Service was great! Food delicious. Portions are a great size. I would recommend this place if going to Cocoa Beach.
Everything here tasted amazing. Well definitely be back. Our Waiter, Dee, was kind, fast and very attentive to our needs.
Came here for my wifes birthday and was very happy with the food and drinks, although service seemed a bit slow/behind. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, but it took a long time to get drinks and food from when they were ordered and several times were considering just asking for our check. When the food and drinks did come, they were all amazing. Our waitress also surprised my wife with a cheesecake for her birthday and really made the visit worthwhile. Thank you - highly recommended!!!
Our server was great. The food was below average. No flavor, and poor presentation. Soup had giant vegetable pieces like they couldnt be bothered to be cut.This place has potential.Cozy environment, in need of maintenance and repairs. On a main Street, so probably had lots of traffic.Bar looks extensive, and comfortable casual.
