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.

    The calamari was perfect especially the sauce! Veal Napoleon was divine,truffle reduction was complex and delicious. Linguine Sinatra was a treat for the eye but somewhat less to the taste,something was missing? Italian Cheesecake was amazing! Tito's Martini was perfect with huge,crunchy olives and cold,cold,cold! Will highly recommend to others. Thank you for a memorable Thanksgiving dinner.
