BRANO'S ITALIAN GRILL – Italian
Chef Brano Kunik runs this family-minded Italian kitchen on North Atlantic Avenue in Cocoa Beach, opening at three each afternoon and cooking until ten. The menu is comfort-first Italian: tortellini carbonara, lasagna, fettuccine alfredo, ravioli, a run of Mama's Pasta plates, plus pizza and a handful of steak and seafood mains for the table that cannot agree. The room stays small and neighbourhood-scaled rather than glossy or polished, and the kitchen leans on fresh preparation over speed. Diners consistently describe warm, personal service and generous plates. A dependable beachside standby when you want pasta instead of another fried grouper sandwich.
