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

2024 Christmas Eve dinner. Fruitta di Mar was excellent. Fried calamari was good but a bit over cooked. Carpaccio was excellent. Chicken Savoy was also overdone and dry inside. Seafood fra diavolo was excellent. Chicken capriccio was delicious. Halibut was great. Dylan was very attentive and the many servers from the kitchen were impressive. Italian cheesecake was superb. We had a better experience two yrs ago for a birthday dinner but still Highly recommended.
