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.

    The restaurant was decorated beautifully for the holidays. The waitress was attentive and helpful. Nice selection on the menu but pretty pricey. Food was very good and nice size portions. We were able to sit and enjoy our friends without feeling rushed.

    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.

    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.
