Amazing restaurant in downtown Hamilton. Quality food at very fair prices. Small spot but so cozy. Staff was so friendly and service was fast. I can definitely recommend the pizzas, spaghetti and meatballs, veal and my favourite, the lasagna!!!!! Can't wait to go back and try more!!!

Heard so much hype about this place. Don't get me wrong when you're expecting the best and you get average. It's kind of a letdown. Overall, it's an okay Pizza respect for their service in Hamilton as I heard they're an OG

We had a wonderful dinner. Food was amazing. You certainly do not go hungry with the portion sizes. We all had to take parts of our meal home to finish later. Staff friendly and service is quick. Be sure to make reservations as they are quite busy.

Went for a quick bite to eat. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The menu had a good assortment to choose from and the prices are very reasonable. It’s a smaller restaurant with a few tables to pick from and a bar to sit at.

This little slice of heaven is in the heart of Hamilton. They make a great pizza. This is an authentic Italian place. It’s loud in here so be ready. Great food. Nice little bar, and a great crowd. Stop in. You will feel like part of the family.

I went to Bronzies today with my friends for a friends birthday. Overall it was a pretty okay experience. The portions are absolutely ginormous so you’ll definitely be full after. I personally got the wings + fries. They were okay. Not amazing not terrible. The fries are homemade so if you like more of a McDonald’s fries kind of vibe, this won’t be it. It seems like a russet potato with the skin on! Again the flavour wasn’t awful. The chicken was a bit dry but not inedible. People with me got pizza and pasta and seemed to really enjoy that. The pasta has a little water pooled in the bottom but nothing you can’t look past. Again, the pizza is really big and is probably your best option

Heard so much about this amazing landmark in Hamilton - I had to try it out! We ordered enough of others requests and wow the chef did not disappoint. Excellent flavours in the meatballs and pasta sauce, pizza was thin and has a good chew, wings crispy and fall off the bone delicious, salad was how my nonna made it and fresh Italian buns made with the garlic bread. 10/10 recommend ☺️thanks staff 🙌🏼

The food was great, and yes, I needed to take some home as I could not finish it all. A small hole in the wall that could easily be missed, but it should not be. I had the lasagna, and it was delicious. Parking: The decor may not be great, but the food makes up for it. Dont let that stop you from trying out this place.

Cant speak on their pizza but ubereats order. Legitimately the blandest italian ive had in my life. Sauce to pasta ratio on dry. Tried four different pastas - they all felt lacking, needed to season heavily. ive never expected to be disappointed by such simple dishes. Ill just get some frozen alfredo or cook at home next time ig jesus christ

Some of the most low effort penne with meatballs Ive ever seen. Like someone cooked some noodles, and just dumped a can of sauce on top. Decent portion, price wasnt too bad, but its the sort of pasta Id do at home when I dont want to do real cooking. A lazy meal. Tasted better than it looked at least.

I had Calamari special. It was fabulous. The restaurant was a busy at dinner time. Yet our server was friendly and efficient. The two others in our party had the lasagna special. The both thought it was excellent. The prices are very reasonable.

June 22, 2024

My man and i spent $50 on Alfredo & Penne pasta side salad and bread. Alfredo just came with noodles and sauce. Penne i got spicy sausage and had to pay a up charge for meatballs. Sausage came as whole had to slice myself. Bread was cut thicker than ever. Salad was probably the best part of the meal. My man can make a better dish with more toppings and less money spent.

June 22, 2024

What the heck happened to this place? The pizza is inedible. So salty! The pizza Bianca was a disaster and why is this breaded chicken bits on a pizza? Very Italian . It should at least advertise its chicken nuggets or breaded chicken. The dough was bland and not properly cooked. It s bad, and so salty we couldn t go through it. It s better off to go ordering pizza pizza instead at this point. New management? Not sure, but these pizza were appalling. After reading few recent reviews it s concerning and perhaps, try at your own peril because I ve seen no improvement. Experienced exactly what others described. Unfortunately, I went in with confidence as had good memory impression from their pizza and pasta from times before.

Ordered spaghetti bolognese through UberEats as I had heard for years this place is top notch. I was so disappointed. Barely any sauce. It was so dry like the Sahara desert. I would never present to someone a dish like this without being thoroughly embarrassed. Such a waste of money and Uber said they couldn t issue a refund at this time

An overall great place for classic, simple Italian comfort food w a casual environment. They re not fancy and have a very basic menu, but their tomato sauce and meatballs, either on a bun or with pasta, are my absolute favourite in Hamilton. Portions are huge and lunch specials are appreciated. I only wish they had an espresso machine! I have team lunches here and frequent Bronzies w friends really any chance I get! There is nothing pretentious about this place think Cheers crossed w your favourite local Italian take-out joint. It has a certain charm about it that makes dining in comfortable.

New review: I brought my brother this time and enjoyed my visit yet again! He ordered the veal parm and I got the spaghetti alfredo. I also ordered us the garlic bread with cheese as an appetizer. I wish they had their own parking but its only paid street parking available. For a small mom and pop style resturant its great! Very casual as far as dress code. The pictures attached are from my recent visit. Old review: Food was good and large portions! They got cold beer on tap and tequila shots I really enjoyed it just wish they were open longer! Parking: Because its located near Saint Josephs hospital its only paid street parking or expensive parking lots available I really wish they had their own parking lot

The waitress was very friendly while I was taking my seat. I ordered takeout & decided on either veal or chicken parmajan (surprise me) & enjoyed a nice cold draft beer while waiting. lol been a while since I had a draft... When I arrived home, it was still pretty hot & the veal (thank you ) was big & yummy! My son & I split it. Its enough for 2 if you add 2 proper size salads to go with it. Their house dressing was good, just not enough in takeout containers, ask for 2. Plus, get more sauce, ask them for a side of it so it doesnt make your meat soggy. Our sauce was in one area, which made the breading soaked. I just scrapped it off 1st. Lol. Then we needed more sauce... hahahaha So, yeah, Id recommend Bronzies to others & Ill go back there next time Im by there to try something else. Maybe pizza next time... Andrea, thanks for the kindness while my father was on the 4th floor. Directing me everywhere, I had to go...me having to be there at odd hours & and overnight most times. Thank you for having a kind soul & a BIG Side Note The atmosphere was alright, I guess. Everyone was standing around the bar, which made it look awkward for the staff trying to move around. Some regulars were reaching over the bar for things. The bar tender when he looked didnt stop anyone. Maybe they are family or something?? Or, having regulars interrupt the waitress while taking my order. It wasnt anything that couldnt have waited, nor was it polite to do... The waitress did apologize for that, and I appreciated her for it. Just seemed like the regulars didnt want others there, taking up the staffs time. The poor waitress was trying to hold down conversations with people & her job. Tough times & and itd be hard to remember it all... I was sitting at my table, enjoying my draft, when some man came & sat with me. Not a word until I spoke. Lol... Nice enough fellow, I suppose He did answer my questions & was polite, hahaha Odd thing, other tables were available

Ordered take out as a first time customer today. They forgot the meatballs. Also ordered the spaghetti Alfredo- it has no sauce on it highly disappointed zero flavour and dry noodles not even fettuccine which is sad. The garlic bread was at least a good flavour so i will give a star for that. I believe in second chances but we will eat in to see of that makes a difference. This was sadly not a good first impression.

Incredible local landmark. I have been coming here since I was a kid with my parents (nearly 40 years ago). After a long abense I returned to Bronzies with my own family and am happy to write that this Hamilton landmark still offers great food at very reasonable rates. Looking for a fun night out with the family that will not break the bank? Bronzies is the ticket. Whether you order the veal parmigiano, chicken parmigiano, pizza or chicken wings you will not be disappointed. Have children? No problem Bronzies offers a childrens menu at reasonable prices. Check it out!

I have been going to this place since I was a kid (in the 90s) because its a long standing family favourite. I almost always get gnocchi with red sauce and meatballs because its absolutely amazing! The sauce/meatballs have the slow cooked flavour of homemade. They also make a veal parmesan that will bring a tear to a glass eye its so good. Definitely worth it if you want a treat! Their food would pass the test of any Nonna! The service is always fast and incredibly friendly. Its family owned and no matter who you are youre welcome to enjoy some great food, cold beer, and a cozy atmosphere. This is definitely a Hamilton gem and if you havent tried it yet you definitely should!

Pizza was hot and baked well but nothing special. A measly 3 outdated draft beer choices is the worst Ive ever encountered. Absolutely no effort there. The service was A1 from the attentive and very personable staff.

January 22, 2024

During my visit to this restaurant to pick up an Uber Eats order, I faced a shocking moment. Being the only person of color there, a customer made a hurtful and racially insensitive remark about my appearance. What stunned me even more was the complete silence from the restaurant staff in response to this offensive behavior. It was a disappointing and distressing experience to witness such insensitivity and lack of action in a public place

★★
January 22, 2024

Unfortunately, the best years of this place are behind them. It had some of the best pizza in the city. The last time ordering food, it was bland but over salted, and service was atrocious. When kindly and quietly letting the server know a plate of food was inedible (by all members of a 6 person table), they made a loud issue, denying the possibility. They were rude, unapologetic, and aggressive. The food was brought back to the kitchen where staff threw the plate and swore, easily heard in such a small place. I have never had such bad service in a restaurant, and blatant disregard for being a service. The only saving grace are the years they have under their belt to have a customer base. A shame. Hopefully in the near future they can rectify these issues.

Ordered our second pizza from here and 1 order of wings on wing night. Pizza was not great. Dough way too thick. Especially in the middle. Little sauce except at crust edge. Pepperoni not cooked, onions not crisp. Wings were good but menu says comes with order of fries, which we did not receive. Ill probably come back and get your wings again and eat in so they arent soggy, but your pizza needs some massive improvements in my opinion.

December 22, 2023

Small, ridiculously loud, couldnt even hear the person sitting next to me talk. Food was pretty terrible. The salad was 99% lettuce with few bits of cucumber and tomato thrown in. Store bought sliced bread lol. My penne was overcooked to mush. The chicken parmesan was decent at least. Not worth your time or money.

December 22, 2023

Bronzies was , ok in the beginning , but as I grew to know it , from a background of a business owner and son son of a Service Business Owner , having had his business since 1954 ( Payne Music Hamilton), I was today , very dismayed at the level of understanding and professionalism , from a , so called , ocon of an eatery of which I had heard it to be. Honestly , its nothing more than a cheap , Italian, restaurant, booze hole , with nothing more than grunts and crooked lawyers , and drunken painters who provide the makeup of their regular crowd. Some staff is genuinely nice , but , honestly dont care about anything , but making a buck. Or serving those who are , unfortunate slaves to alcohol. Just my opinion. If you want to join then , go right ahead. I , most certainly, will not !!

Service was good considering that she as the only one serving. Food had much to be desired...Pizza was burnt, Lasagna wasnt bad, Gnocchi werent very good. i think they were from one of those packages that you buy at a supermarket where it sits on a shelf. Salad was OK...typical kind you buy that is pre-mixed and you add the bottled dressing to it. Beer was cold, so thats a good thing. Maybe they had an off-day??

Well let me tell you this sandwich was the best meatball sub I have ever had. It was perfect. It tasted fresh made, the perfect texture and loaded just right with meatballs. It is a great sandwich and filling. And you can t beat the price. Try it, you will not be disappointed. You, like I, will be back for more. Enjoy my friends in Hamilton enjoy. Pretty damn good from such a little place you have probably drove past so many times.

We did takeout from Bronzies last week. Everything was so tasty! The wings were big and full of flavour. Pizza was delicious and cooked perfectly. The fries were those delicious ones that taste good with vinegar. Bruschetta was an added bonus. Highly recommend. Next time we will come dine in!

I have been going to Bronzies fairly regularly for 35 years...I will not be going back soon. The lasagna WAS the best in the city. Recently we had some and could not eat it...we brought it home...and eventually threw it out. Be careful. This was not the lasagna the Italian ladies made. famous. Looks like things have changed.

I love their pasta sauce so much. And the meatballs are MamaMia-level-good Pasta was al dente. Staff are super friendly and very considerate. They have decent amount of TVs with different channels, not just sports. The booze isn t expensive either. I will be coming back for sure!

We had read so many amazing reviews so decided to give this place a try! Unfortunately it was far from amazing. I had ordered Alfredo Fettuccine with chicken, I received a pile of undercooked pasta, with what I can only imagine was canned sauce and no chicken.. my bf ordered the chicken parm and it was over sauced, and extremely salty. There was no one else in the restaurant at the time. The service was horrible. Not a place I d try again or recommend

What an awesome little gem. Went here before a show and was shocked at how tasty the food was for such a reasonable price. Even though the caesar salad didnt have bacon in it, it was one of the best Ive had in a very long time. Thanks for a great meal Bronzies

Great service. Friendly staff & regulars. Wings are huge (GET THEM DOUBLE BAKED) and the meatball sub is equal to the ones I used to get at the Prescott bar & restaurant in Ottawa. Small, cozy & friendly. Great food. Specials every day.

Went to Bronzies for dinner last week, reviews seemed to be good so thought we d try it. Very disappointing to say the least, seems all the red pasta sauce is the same, clam sauce and meatball sauce tasted the same, bland, flavourless, salty, but you did get a ton of pasta. Personally I would not recommend it, living in Vancouver we re spoiled by good Italian restaurants. On a positive note, our server, she was good.

Ceasar salad was excellent! Pizza was amazing!! The crust, the sauce everything about the pizza was great. My only complaint would be paying 16$ for pasta with no veggies or anything in it. Just noodles with sauce on top. It was good but for the ampunt of money charged itd be nice to have something in it. Otherwise very good food and great service

My girlfriend and I had dinner at your restaurant last night. She wanted to go to an Italian restaurant as it was her birthday. We got dressed up and the night began. We made reservations for 6.00. We arrived at your restaurant and said we had reservations. We were given a table right in front of the front door as you walk in and frankly I think it was the worst spot we could have been placed. We were after an intimate spot to sit and have a quiet dinner and this seating location wasn t it by a long shot. We made the best of it but we weren t happy by any means. I felt calling late morning to make a reservation was perfect. This restaurant I can see has a great reputation and it s very much like the Cheers bar / restaurant was on Tv. Everyone knows everyone so to speak. Unfortunately we were very disappointed for what we were after. We wanted dim lights and an intimate atmosphere. I was overdressed with a shirt and tie. Everybody that came in for take out was standing mere inches from us and we were greeted by the cold air each and every time. We did not enjoy our dinner. We took a chance on Bronzies place, as we had never been there before and knew nothing about it. We felt making a reservation would provide us with a really nice seating location but I don t think the reservation made any difference. It s a small quaint restaurant and very friendly. It is a trendy location. It just ended up being the wrong choice for us. We walked out very disappointed and that was that.
