100% recommend this gem! An authentic Italian experience with some of the best Italian food I’ve had in a long time …. Traveling to LA from Ohio and was so happy with this amazing place!

Atmosphere: I enjoyed the cozy, family settingService: friendly, hospital, flexible, and greatFood: 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.

Its a great place. Portions are large, not a large place but just enough room to enjoy yourself. Staff is always great. Bar is relatively small if you want to sit there. Ala Carte is an excellent option unless you can eat a lot.

They added outdoor dinning, wanted to support local. Had a wonderful dinner. The food was great as always, tried Italian stir-fry. It was so good! Along with the soup, salad, bread and a little libation. It was a great atmosphere. Service was good. Everything was safe and enjoyable!

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 its 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 havent converted to paper menus.

Beautiful spot with very cozy interior. Not only was the food delicious, but the service is EVERYTHING. Omar is the best thing since sliced bread, be prepared for a taste of sass and class. Definitely stop by if you’re in Redondo Beach, you’ll leave with a warm stomach and an even warmer smile!

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 didnt blow me away or anything.

Old school Italian Restaurant right on the Artesia Corridor! Little quaint tables, yummy food had a cute bar with huge martinis. Its a great neighborhood Italian restaurant thats been here for many, many years. Enjoy!

We were visiting from out of state and thought we would try Brognios and it did not disappoint in the slightest! Food was so good and plenty of it!!! (Only recommendation is they could cut back on portions and charge the same, save them some money). Other than that, Highly recommend going!!!!

Family and community atmosphere is the icing on the cake for extraordinary and classic Italian menu with unexplorable choices like how many times can I visit and still want to try another thing on the menu besides my order. take out lasted 3 days of delicious meals

This quaint little Italian restaurant is so picturesque but disappointing in a few ways. My boyfriend wanted to eat Italian food so I recommended this restaurant to him. We ordered the lasagna and the Cioppino, which comes with soup and salad if you order the entree. The soup was extremely salty, and so was the Cioppino. The garlic bread was not baked enough and had an undercooked texture. The lasagna contained on layer of pasta and too much cheese. The Cioppino, which is a seafood stew, was overcooked. The fish was rubbery and very difficult to chew. The service was very delayed, causing a backup of customers at the door who were cramped together. My overall experience wasnt a negative one, and I dont think well be returning.

Broginos is a gem. From the moment you walk in, you can tell its going to be a special experience. The atmosphere has an old world feel with art, great lighting, and deep robust colors. The server was attentive, but not crowding. I ordered the Combination Parmigiana. This combination is a medley of breaded proteins topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. In addition to the complete order, which comes with soup, salad, and lots of bread, this entree also comes with a side of spaghetti! My entire experience at Broginos was a delight and I highly recommend it.

This place was exceptional. The customer service was above par and the elegance of the restaurant was homely. The food was authentic and had a blast of flavor. Please come check them out it’s a great atmosphere. The only thing I can say that was bad about it was certain customers and comfortability with those customers. So out of the company’s hands, this place was very welcoming . Will return!

Omar is amazing. Fast, attentive, and the right amount of personality that makes me feel like I better enjoy my meal or i will have my neck cut clean open.Lucky for me, the food is amazing! The cocktails on par if not better!This is our usual spot and i cant think of a better place for atmosphere and staff.

This restaurant is a treat! Tiny and friendly service. Great decor. The chicken a la Napoli was delicious and the serving was enough for lunch next two days. Also they have large wine glasses and give you a decent slug!

Omar was an awesome server, the food was delicious. Home made bread was devoured by the table. The pesto is delicious, but my favorite was the lasagna. Next time we are in the LA area Ill be back.

Might be a good spot to go to and sit at the bar for a drink, but that’s it. Far from family friendly, 2.5 hours start to finish for a pizza and veal parmigiana.Epic fail.Bus boy was on point though.

Ordered food, was told 25mins, showed up in 35mins, stood around for 15mins before anyone acknowledged me. Food was ready but didnt get it for another 10mins. Asked if I had got everything, was told yes. Once I got home I realized I had not and was forced to return. The food was cold. The cheese had actually hardened. Paid for extra shrimp and got a total of 5. Will never go back.

Came here last night for the first time with one of my friends and we both were very impressed with this restaurant. This place is small and very cozy with beautiful decorations from the paintings on the outside to the inside. They serve some delicious garlic but we didn’t get to try the soup when we came this visit. We ordered spaghetti and pizza to share both tasted very authentic. Especially the spaghetti sauce! Overall we had a great dinner I can’t wait to come again we will definitely be regular clients of this establishment!!!

First time ordering from this restaurant. Good was GREAT everything was fresh and very tasty! Both of our plates were on point, deliciously cooked, warm bread as well. So nice!!! Unfortunately the very short time I spent in there wasn’t. The guy behind the bar was somewhat arrogant. I asked about an order placed online and he responded that if there were any, it’ll be standing at the bar. He said there was none and turned his back. I young man approached the bar and very nicely asked if I needed help. The first guy I talked to was whispering to him while showing his back. I did take that as being disrespectful. However the second guy asked my name and my meal was actually standing there at the bar.You should always treat all costumers as if they were the first. Aside from that food wise, 100%

I was in L A for my Niece’s graduation at Pepperdine. We searched out an Italian restaurant with good reviews and at the top of the list was Brogino’s. We were very happy that we chose to go there! The food was delicious! The atmosphere and the service were great! Omar was amazing!!I would definitely go back!

Really enjoy this place, small intimate atmosphere, greeted well by staff. As I was seated I was asked what would I like to drink, drinks were brought promptly. And timing of ordering of food was great. I ordered a pizza and linguine and clams, and taste buds were greeted with a party to my mouth! Ambience great, staff awesome, and food….Tasty, tasty tasty. Too bad I got full, I would have finished my meal. But, I get a revisit with food to go, can’t wait till I have my left overs, will be returning……..can’t go wrong with a place such as this, thank you, Tony, Omar and team Broginos you all are attentive/friendly staff. Grazie!

I recently took the leap to start my own business and my boyfriend and I chose to celebrate at Brogino’s, since I love Italian food. We made a reservation and walked into the restaurant and were disappointed when no one greeted us. After several minutes, my boyfriend asked the bartender if we could be seated and he acknowledged us (finally) but we ended up waiting a few more minutes before being seated. They seemed short-staffed, which I understand can be challenging (I worked as a server for 5 years), but it was frustrating to look over and see a man we assumed was the manager casually chatting up a couple at the next table while we waited several minutes to be greeted by our server and then waited for our drinks (water and a bottle of champagne). The food was disappointing (i.e., salty and basic - similar to a frozen meal from the grocery store) despite ordering two dishes off the “House Specialties” part of the menu. I’m truly not a picky eater and I wanted to enjoy the food but it just wasn’t good.Overall, though we wanted to enjoy the night and the unique ambiance of the restaurant, our experience was ruined by both the poor service and the disappointing food. I can’t recommend this place as it is. Maybe under different ownership or management?

Had an amazing dinner here last night. This was the first time we have been since COVID and they did a nice job with their outside table set up, with heat lamps if you needed them. The service was amazing as always, Omar is the best, he ensured we were well taken care of. I had my go-to favorite here, “Something Different”, which is a Scallop and Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo dish. Their Alfredo sauce is sooo good! Nice wine selection also and I saved room for some Spumoni ice cream for dessert.

Not as good as you would think. Opens at 4pm. The service is very hit or miss. The cook once had to ring the bell several times to get the attention of the server to get my food with only about 6 patrons in the restaurant. One of the servers has some weird arrogant attitude (I dont think she works there anymore though). Also had a few occasions where our order was wrong. The alfredo sauce is way too thick and pretty bland. The garden sauce they have is very nice though. Good salad and minestrone soup.

Went there food not good but they started advertising that they did updates and the dishes they presented on the web looked better so decided to give them another chance. Let me say that it was 150 percent better. Loved the food and the mixed drinks. The staff was attentive and very friendly. I recommend this place.

2022-06-13 03:20:05

Overpriced and very disappointing. The food is tasteless not what you expect from Italian restaurant, especially for the price you pay (over $28 a plate). The soup and salad they serve is fine. The food portions are big. Pizza (tasteless) the crust was too thick with too much cheese.

2018-06-26 23:28:37

Honestly I really didnt like the food. Came here for my mothers bday thought it was going to be great because of all the reviews, but I dont know if it was because it was really busy for a Monday night and they got behind. But the restaurant itself was very nice, the employees were great but the food was not! Our soup was very salty, I ordered the shrimp asparagus and it was very watery not much flavor. Everything was overcooked the shrimp and the asparagus, my mothers order was drenched in oil just overall not good probably wont come back.

We literally waited an hour for the main dish. The service by Omar was pretty bad last night. Initially Omar had us waiting 10 minutes while he was visibly having conversations with all the surrounding tables. I get that you have to form relationships with your customers but do you have to keep new customers waiting for 10 minutes? Then once our order was taken, we were brought the wrong drink order. I asked for club soda and not Pelegrino. Then I was charged for both. All tables that were seated after us were served before us. Once Omar realized we had not been served our food, he ran to the back and proceeded to microwave the heck out of our food. The food had been fresh up until it was sitting around for 10 minutes while Omar was sweet talking his chums at the neighboring tables. There is a huge difference between fresh hot food and microwaved food, FYI. I do not recommend this restaurant.

Review №43

2019-04-07 04:35:45

Overpriced & very disappointing. Waited half an hour despite having a reservation with no apology. Waited at the bar and took nearly as long to get a drink. Payed over thirty dollars each for one meal with frozen prawns and one with minced clams! Had to ask for garlic bread which he had ordered and came out towards to end of the meal. Salad was warm and soggy. While our server was fine he was not attentive and long wait between courses. Not authentic Italian.

This is a really nice, cozy restaurant with great Italian food and wine. It is kind of a landmark, having been here for many decades, and it is easy to see why it continues to maintain its popularity. It has a romantic feel to it with its authentic decor, so I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a lovely, romantic setting in which to dine! It could even be good for a proposal, although I wouldnt be surprised if some of the staff and customers didnt wind up overhearing!

My son first brought me to dinner at Broginos about 6 months ago. We returned a week ago for my birthday. I now live in southern oregon and I was visiting. My son and his family are well known there and I can see why. Everything about the restaurant is special.

It was late and we were looking for a homemade meal, wanted Thai but all the Thai restaurants near us were closed so we settled for the next best thing, Italian. The food was delicious, the Alfredo sauce was more watery than anticipated. However, the portions were ample as we expected. Would dine in next time to get the full experience as they offered indoor and outdoor service with social distancing due to Covid-19.

Came here twice and it never disappoints. Great spot for dates. And wait staff are so attentive. I had the angel hair with scallops and osso buco - both excellent. Skip Ill Fornaio and their snooty waiters and over priced food. Go here and have an enjoyable time.

Brogino’s is a terrific Italian restaurant. We always have the most delicious food and fantastic service. The mushroom ravioli with the Marsala sauce is to die for and the cream sauce with ham and peas is what dreams are made of! We also love their salad house dressing, Recently we celebrated a birthday in the outdoor dining area and it was perfect. Nice tables, lights, and service as usual is impeccable.

I wish I had 10 stars to give to this place and I wish I came before. Everything is absolutely perfect, menu variety, flavor, portion size, price, feeling, vibe, service, decoration, music, everything. I can’t wait to bring my family and friends and come again and again. Special thanks to our lovely waitress Jeanetteshe really made this place even more magical.

Been going to Broginos for 20 years. Husband who was Executive Chef and I would to together. Love their food, love the staff and great ambience even during pandemic outside. Chef has been there for a long time and food is always wonderful. Michael and the staff are friendly, and make the experience so consistently enjoyable.

My wife n I traveled to Boston to eat some real Italian food, when we came back to CA we looked for a place that had the same taste and after a few months of trying different places we finally found it. Brogino’S is by far the most authentic Italian restaurant in town. Great atmosphere, excellent service and outstanding food. Our server Oscar was amazing. We will be back!

Review №52

2021-02-28 03:45:27

Waited for our server to come for 35 mins before we decided to just walk out. I can understand a long wait if the place is packed, but there were only 5 tables for 3 waiters, our waiter even started taking an order from a couple that got there after us. On one of the at least 5 times he passed by us we overheard him talking about a big party that was on the way, I guess he was too busy making space for that party of 9 that called in, guess 9 is a better tip than 2. Table next to us waited a long time to get him to take their order too, they were lucky the hostess passed by and noticed. TIP to you, if you still decide to go there and see they have big tables just save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else, you will be ignored 🤦‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Our Father in Law had visited at the recommendation of a friend. He loved it and brought us here when we asked for genuine Italian food. He was spot on. Freshly prepared pasta, excellent garlic bread. Service was great and Mike the manager was most accomidating And the decor was right out of the east side of Manhattan complete with a lot of Frank S. Bring your appetite. You will have to ask for the go box.

I grew up, worked, and cooked in my familys Italian restaurant and know what great Italian and Italian-American food is supposed to taste like. After living in the south bay for 26 years, we stopped by Broginos by chance, never hearing of it. I was very impressed. This is arguably the best Italian food in the South Bay. I highly recommend it. Service was great also.Mangiamo!

Low Quality. Ordered pasta with Carbonara Sauce ($20). The chopped ham described on the menu was chopped up deli sliced ham... it could have been Oscar Meyer ham for all I know!!! The other dishes ordered were mediocre at best. Over priced. Im definitely questioning the good reviews on here. I am being nice and giving 2 stars because the people working there have been nice enough.

Absolutely love this place! Broginos has delicious food, a friendly wait staff and an adorable atmosphere. The decor is very excentric but it adds to the experience! Instead of normal bread sticks you get unlimited freshly made garlic bread! They do not skimp on anything here, very generous portions! They also have the best fettuccine Alfredo Ive ever had. I would also recommend the lasagna. There are a few parking spots on the side of the building, but not too many which makes parking a bit of a gamble.

I spotted this place as a local family style Italian delight. Which it is. Great Flavors, friendly and they dont rush you. Once you go you will go back. The menu has a huge selection. Try the scallops over Angel hair! They also have combo dishes. Dinners come with soup and salad. Love this place.

I was very disappointed with our dinner tonight. The calamari tasted burnt, and our Chicken Parmesan and Shrimp tasted burnt also, I think they should check the breading that they use. There was not enough servers on, too handle the busy time.

Long story shorts, the food is tasteless (not what you expect from Italian food) the food portion is big though. No manners from the waitress we got. Definitely not kids friendly, not a fancy restaurant either. Clearly we were not welcomed there, not sure why it was; having a kid with us, not being white (all other costumers were white although everybody that worked there were not) or just simply the waitress had a bad day. Whatever reason was behind it we will never go back!

We LOVE Broginos!! Very traditional Italian food, atmosphere & service. Last night Omar was our server and couldnt have made our Valentines Dinner experience any better. Mike always makes sure that you are doing great and dont need anything. We also love Patina, shes a wonderful server & the sweetest person. This is our go to restaurant for special occasions because of the family feel we get when youre there. Last year we were engaged and the staff made it even more special! Cheers to another 40 years for Broginos!!

This place deletes negative comments on Facebook. Its the lowest forum of tweeking reviews that exists. The food here is horrible. You might as well get Stoffers. I have tried this place over my 20 years in the neighborhood. My last experience was tonight. It will be my last experience for a while. We waited almost 10 minutes for a seat even though the place was less than 1/2 full. My kids were ready to leave, but I really wanted to eat in this type of restaurant. I spied the Sam Adams draught beer pull while we were waiting and ordered one when we sat down. I got a bottle of beer. They have the taps but have stopped selling draught beer. My wife ordered the house Cabernet. I tried it and it was excellent. The bread basket came and my kids had to be stopped from mowing it down. It is a step above from loaf bread and butter that many other places serve. The soup they serve is fine. The side salads must have been in the refrigerator for a full day. The lettuce was wilted and the tomatoes were rock hard.Then the main courses came. My son didnt like the pizza. The crust was too thick and there was too much cheese on it. The Chicken Chianti was overflowing with mushrooms and sauce but it couldnt cover the dried out piece of chicken it was poured over. My Veal Parmesan was dry and tough as shoe leather. It is really a shame that this place cant get a chef rather than a cook. For the prices they charge they should have someone who knows how to cook and supervise others in the kitchen.

Ive eaten in many fine Italian restaurants! Avoid the manicotti. After several attempts, it continues to lack any character. Thick greasy bottom noodles, very little ricotta and overpriced. Sauce is pretty good but cant cover up the lack of care given to the rest of it. Atmosphere is quaint but this item continues to disappoint. Good luck...

Generous portions, huge martinis, cool ambiance, unlimited garlic bread...what more can you ask for? I had the fettuccine alfredo and it was pretty good, but the star of the show was the lasagna for sure.

They should sell wine cheap to allow the food to be tolerable.$3 for a bag of cheap lipton teaThe soup tasted either canned or sitting on the stove too long. Why? Over salted with bland vegetablesJudging by the way the chicken was cut, I suspect it was previously frozen (soft edges where cuts were made accompanied by a bland taste)Their chefs need to learn how to cut vegetables. One example is the asparagus on my dish contained a fair amount of the fiber-y stem (which is a pain to eat and the body gains nothing from it).I honestly feel they dim down the lights so you do not notice the poor presentation of the dishes they serve.

Stood at the door for 10 minutes waiting to be attended to but nothing so I left. One star because the place smelled great and it looked clean and like an old time Italian dining place. But what a disappointment that I stood there for nothing. Wont be back again. And wont suggest this place.

Cozy establishment with a large menu of Italian dishes. I ordered the chicken & scallop parmigiana. It came with a meatless soup that was refreshing & also a salad accompanied prior to the main entree being served.

When i lived in RB this was my go to for southern red italian, what Ive eaten since 2 or 3 yrs. Good sauce and tasty dishes Spaghetti Veal & Chicken Parmigiana, Salads all the good food if southern Italian is a must have either visiting friends & family or you want to take your lunch/dinner guests to a restaurant that will not disappoint. In LA area restaurants this place is a success as Broginos been serving good food since 1977 bigger well known places have come and gone many very famous not Broginos. Its a romantic place with lighting and decor some red wine, bread and cheese before meal arrives will aide in perhaps get you Lucky yes bring your new date if she or he i suppose being today comes from the nyc tri-state area as Broginos is old school Italian looking like many nyc northern new jersey and south eastern Connecticut. Youll not be disappointed dining @ Broginos, Manga !!! 🍕🍰🍻🍸
