• Italian • Asbury Park
Booked 23 times today
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

    The decorations was next level, the service was fantastic, the food was delicious and there aren't words to describe the multiple levels of semi private tables located throughout the restaurant! It makes the contemplative mind wonder if the restaurant was built with this amazing plan to create just the right venu for special moments or was it converted by some amazing soul with a passion to leave lasting moments in their patrons minds! Kicking myself for not treating ourselves to this exquisite restaurant sooner. Thank you

    Harpoon Willie’s was absolutely fabulous. The service, the ambience, the food, were just great. After a lovely dinner, we sat at the bar and listened to some live music. Perfect ending to an amazing night. And the manager was outstanding. Matt couldn’t have been nicer. Highly recommend Harpoon Willie’s, whether for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends. Great place!!

    I’ve never had a Valentines Day pre fixe a wonderful as this. The food was incredible and very very fresh and flavorful. I had the burrata, lobster and frozen almond joy. My husband had the lobster appetizer, salmon and chocolate cheesecake. Creative, fresh, flavorful and delicious; very thoughtful and lovely presentation. Our server was Rob, friendly, professional, knowledgeable. I would give the entire experience a 100 out of 100.
