We came on a Friday for lunch and it was nice and quiet. The staff are friendly and nice. The bread was complimentary and came out warm. Delicious Diavola Pizza was delicious. The spicy kick was well balanced with the sweetness of the honey. The crust was not floppy or soggy, but soft with a slight crunch. The gnocchi was soft. My husband liked the pine nuts in the pesto sauce. Branzino: This was my favorite dish. The sea bass was nice and light. The capers and lemon complimented the fish nicely. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. The potatoes were good and some had a nice crisp. Blanca Dessert was okay. I liked the chocolate and crunch of the cookie crust, but it was mostly cream. Definitely a great place to try with reasonable prices!

Needed a spot for a business lunch and this wasPERFECT! (Thank you fellow Yelpers!)There was a casual elegance, but so understated.They had nice music playing to set a pleasant tone, but it wasn't intrusive. Just a really nice vibe.Fabulous attentive service, too. Never rushed, but always aware. Perfect, actually.I've spent a lot of time in Milan and northern Italy, but wasn't too familiar with many of the dishes, as the menu focuses on southern Italian cuisine. Our waiter was wonderful and his suggestions were great. Turns out his mom is the chef.:-) Which explains why everything tasted so real and remarkably delicious!We started with the Zepelotti - Fried pizza dough balls stuffed with parma prosciutto, arugula, burrata and balsamic reduction. They were like little sandwiches with a delightful combination of flavors.So very good.The pasta was cooked perfectly, fresh and al dente.All hand made. Truly remarkable and authentically Italian.The wines were quite good, too. I had the Montepulciano and my friend had the Sangiovese.We both were quite pleased.Tutto era perfetto! Grazie!Parking: Plenty of street parking

Fantastic family run business. Daniel runs the restaurant with his family, with his mom as the chef. He recommended fanatic wines and food for us, and was a gracious host. The Sangiovese wine was the perfect accompaniment to our meals, which included the house special mushroom arugula salad, the aragosta pasta, mushroom ravioli and the Diavola pizza. The food was delicious and we can’t wait to come back!!
Absolutely fantastic, family-run business, serving delicious Italian food. We had an amazing experience with Daniel who runs the restaurant, with his mom being the chef. He gave us perfect recommendations for wine and food. We had an excellent Sangiovese wine to pair with our special mushroom arugula salad, Aragosta pasta, mushroom ravioli and Diavola pizza. The entire meal was perfect and then the tiramisu was the icing on top. Can't wait to come back again!!

We really enjoyed our visit to Brunello. All the food was delicious. We tried the grilled vegetables, salad caprese, pastas and a fish dish. We thought everything was wonderful. We will definitely be back.

Can’t say enough about how great this place is! What a gem! Brunello Trattoria is a lovely family business that takes great care to put out delicious food! They always provide fresh, hot bread when you sit down and you can tell the food is made with love. Came here a few months ago and met the owner who is such a good guy and a character! His kids are both wonderful too. Best of all, the food is fantastic. I hope they stay in business for a long long time because I’ll be back!

All we can say is that the food was delicious and the service was excellent. The fact that every table was occupied indicates than Brunello's is a favorite restaurant in Culver City.
