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.

    A very nice evening. I took my husband out for his birthday. When we arrived, we had a reservation and were seated right away. There was a nice card that read Happy Birthday on the table. The waiter recommended a tasty glass of wine and knew the specials very well. The jumbo shrimp and risotto dish was delicious. My husband had the Chilean sea bass and said it was very good. At the end of dinner, the waiter brought over a complimentary plate with two cannolis and Happy Birthday written on the plate. They even lit a candle for him. We’re definitely returning.

    We had a wonderful meal there. It was our first time and we will definitely be back. Four of us shared a couple of apps and then each had an entree. No one was disappointed. We also shared two soufflé- if you can save room they were terrific. We also love that it’s BYOB.
