Sam Bruno, Founder

While no longer actively involved in the Corporation, Sam’s hard work and vision set the groundwork for what would become the number one catering facility in the New York Metropolitan area. He opened the Corporation in 1962 as a small one room operation and soon added the lobby area and a second banquet room. Rather then expanding further Sam made a commitment to personalized service and quality catering at very affordable pricing. To this day the Team at Bruno’s is committed to this goal. Just ask any of our thousands of satisfied customers, they will agree that Bruno’s is the only place to have a great catered affair.
