The Key Ingredient

In this episode of The Key Ingredient Podcast, host Stefan J. Contorno sits down with Calcedonio “Cal” Bruno, owner of Bruno's of Brooklyn in downtown Fort Myers, Florida. From his Brooklyn roots and summers spent in Sicily to building one of Southwest Florida's distinctive Italian dining destinations, Cal shares the experiences, family traditions, and passion for food that shaped his journey. We discuss the inspiration behind Bruno's of Brooklyn, the challenges of building a restaurant business, the importance of family and authenticity, and the lessons Cal has learned along the way. It's a conversation about entrepreneurship, perseverance, Italian heritage, and turning a family passion into a successful business. And, of course, we ask Cal the question at the heart of every episode: What has been the key ingredient to your success? 🎙️ The Key Ingredient Podcast Hosted by Stefan J.
