Brando's was founded on the premise of great food made from quality ingredients, excellent service, and a warm atmosphere which we believe are the three elements of any enjoyable dining experience.The chef/owner, Steven Botta, grew up in Brooklyn and learned many of recipes used at Brando's from his mother. Raised in this welcoming tradition, he believes when you enter Brando's, whether its your first time or your one hundredth time, you should always feel like they are dining with family.Soulful Italian is the best way to describe our menu. Our culinary team has been trained at the finest culinary schools, and has over fifty years of combined experience. From our fresh pasta, to our line-caught fish, to our thirty-five day dry-aged steaks, the difference is discernible

    This was our first time at the Grand Tavern and was not aware there was not an area to wait if you arrived early. We ended up going downtown for a cocktail while we waited for our reservation time to arrive. Apon returning, the hostess, our bartender, our waitress all we were very informative and nice. We enjoyed being able to relax with a glass of wine, not being rushed during our apps and dinner. (all selections we chose, you could see were made with care, cooked perfectly and bursting with flavors!) We enjoyed our night here and would recommend it to our friends.

    Everything was fab. We started with the califlower and the shrimp appetizers, but we still couldn't decide which was better. Both were full of great flavors. For our main course, the wifey enjoyed the classic chicken parmigiana. Sauce was insanely good, and the portion was perfect, too. I destroyed the Hnodi dish. That was epic. We will be back and rolling 8 deep. We need to share the fun.

    We so enjoyed our pre-Valentines dinner. It was happy hour at the bar when we arrived so we enjoyed a delicious dirty martini at a great price. My dinner appetizer was the pasta fagiol Soup that was very delicious with some added Parmesan cheese. My husband had the seafood appetizer which is always fantastic. It had an amazing variety of seafood in it. I had the raviolis which I always have to have when I’m at this restaurant. They remind me of my grandmother’s recipe. My husband enjoyed the veal franchise, the veal was very tender. To top off our celebration I had a strawberry chocolate martini. All I can say is Yum!
