Bruno grew up in Florida and spent summers on the Jersey shore where he first stepped into a kitchen at the age of 13 slinging pizza slices, and cheese steaks to the beach goers and boardwalk crowds. Having moved to Orlando in 2002 for culinary school and thus began his culinary career.

Working with many notable local chefs and developing his craft, he eventually opened up the legendary food cart, Bruno's Bites. Making a name for himself around town, Bruno moved on to help open Cask & Larder followed by time as the Executive Chef of Oblivion Taproom.

During this time, Bruno took on a consulting position with Third Wave Café in New Smyrna Beach where he made a name for himself and his wood-fired pizzas. Bruno remained at Third Wave Café for about 3 years enabling it's current status as one of the best restaurants in New Smyrna Beach.

On the prowl for a location to call his own, January 2016 would bring his dream to fruition. By March 2016, the space was acquired and the re-vamp began. Fast forward to June 2016, the oven was hot, the dough was ready, and the doors were opened.
