Had the pleasure of visiting this lil gem tonight! This place has a very old school authentic feel to it, and it did not disappoint! As mentioned in other reviews, Brogino's has a small parking lot. But what was left out, was that there is plenty of street parking surrounding their location. When you enter, you get that feel of stepping into Italy past, and the smell coming from the kitchen is truly amazing. Upon our arrival, we were seated promptly and greeted by our server "Jeanette". She was very knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure to let us know about how large their portions were. We started out the evening with cocktails and garlic bread. We also ordered their dinner special with salmon, and the veal parm that came with pasta. All were amazingly delicious. Portions were definitely family sized, with plenty to go around. Overall, we were very happy with the food and service. The ambiance was very comfortable and pleasing. We'll definitely be coming back!

This is our Italian go-to. Just dropped into here on a Sunday for wine and appetizers sitting at the bar. Watched the Warriors vs Spurs and Cardinals vs Dodgers. Great service as always with great prices. Food tasted amazing and is always consistent. Will definitely be back.

We were really excited to try this place. They sat us within an acceptable amount of time. Brought us bread. Then, never came back to the table. We sat for 20 minutes while other people around us were being greeted and drink orders taken. Both my wife and I used to be servers and understand it gets busy, but it wasn't and the people who were sat after us got their orders taken and we were ignored. We ended up walking out without even an acknowledgment that we were there for anything other than their their stale bread.

Came here to eat tonight and it's closed. On Yelp it says closed at 9pm and it's only 8:00pm. No sign or anything stating that it would be closed today. What a waisted drive coming over here for nothing. I was excited to eat here but now it's a no go.

Cute traditional Italian restaurant in Redondo Beach. The dining area makes you feel at home, food is delicious, and the staff is awesome. I would definitely love to come back next time I'm in the area.

Omar and staff run a great place. And the food is exceptional! The meatballs, veal parm, osso bucco, meat sauce, salad, .... Martinis. All so yummy! Best Italian in South Bay.

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!

Beautiful spot with very cozy interior. I dined here with my family for the first time expecting a simple, quiet Italian spot. We were presented with an amazing dinner and more! Not only was the food delicious, but the service is EVERYTHING. Omar is the best thing since sliced bread, so 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!
Old world charm! Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Brogino's. This is obviously a neighborhood institution as most of the patrons really seemed familiar with the staff. Food was fresh with a definite home style taste and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Old school Italian Restaurant right on the Artesia Corridor! Little quaint tables, yummy food had a cute bar with huge martinis. It's a great neighborhood Italian restaurant that's been here for many, many years. Enjoy!Parking: Side street and a long ArtesiaWheelchair accessibility: It's fine.

We were visiting from out of state and thought we would try Brognio's 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!!!!

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 wasn't a negative one, and I don't think we'll be returning.

This place could be considered an iconic local Italian eatery. But it's small parking lot and building may contribute to people even locals passing by. Haven't been here since covid. But get the combination comes with house minestrone soup, house green with sprinkle of beans salad and comes with house bread no need to order ala cart. I had #2 eggplant and chicken parmegan. Nothing beats a well made mommas home style cooking. Warning I came by myself and sat at the bar. Almost filled myself up with the soup salad and garlic bread. Also came with a side of spaghetti. The food here refreshing quality and appealing to my tastes. The soup and salad is a definite plus. Very close qtr here though you are literally sitting with the next table
