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.

    Our waiter And servers were professional and pleasant. The food was excellent. My pork chop was delicious! The pistachio martini was also excellent. There was a fairly large table toward the back of the room that was extremely loud. That was the only negative part of our experience.

    Though it was a busy Christmas Eve, our server, Haley, provided wonderful as did Paul and Arturo. My husband I shared the Beet & Arugula salad and Shrimp Cocktail. The sauce served with the shrimp was fabulous, spicy with a nice kick of horseradish. The salad was lightly dressed with a champagne vinaigrette along with goat cheese…yum. For entrees we ordered roasted pork tenderloin with mustard sauce and shaved Brussels sprouts along with the Braised Sort Rib over garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert we finished with Banana Tart. Food is consistently delicious and inventive.
