Just got home from this restaurant and it was the very best Italian restaurant I was ever at. We're in our late 80's and have been to many many Italian restaurants and none could compare to this one. The food was delicious and took enough home for another meal. Laura our server was excellent and very very pleasant she made our visit great, so great we are going again tomorrow. Don't hesitate to visit you will not be sorry

Staff shortage so took awhile for food. The only server had the sniffles, she was hustling but only 4 tables occupied. Our dishes appeared to have been either microwaved or under the broiler to melt the cheese on parmesans. Mine had very little mozzarella and my spouse had 2 rectangular slices placed on top of his. The result was dry overcooked sauce and cheese. Sauce tasted burnt. Good bread! Overpriced for my previously frozen tortellini with 1 just okay meatball and my spouse's very thin and tough veal. We had been here before and the food was better. Felt like we were eating in someone's basement.

Briandis has always been our go to restaurant for great food. Went in tonight and no beer on tap. Asked for cans or bottles and told the cooler went out and it was all warm. Looked around and the floors were unswept. Got a strange feeling so we got up and left. Went to an alternate restaurant and while driving by the usually packed parking lot was empty. Not sure what’s going on. Did it change hands?

Returned after a great experience prior year. This year meal was horrible. Spaghetti and lasagna were barely edible. Sauce was rancid. Service was very slow. What was a feel good home cooked meal want to return to spot is now a no go to place.

My family and I always come to this restaurant. The service is great, the food is delicious, the atmosphere is charming, and the portions are generous (we always have enough for lunch the next day) . Highly recommended!🍝

At first wasnt sure if I was going in as it was lonely since it was a Monday night. We did go in and so happy we did. All the food is "home made", they make their own bread, sauce, dough and even home made mozzarella sticks that are the best we've ever had. We also had minestrone soup, pizza and a chicken parmesan. All was amazing and service was great. Definetly a spot to try if in the area.

French Onion soup 10+ Lasagna was huge portion meat was wonderful. We will definately go back. Everyone around us really enjoyed their meals, if you are looking for a place that has been cherished for years for their service and attention to food, casual, small, unpretentious...this is great. People were waiting for tables from the time we arrived. Many we on a first name basis with the wait people.

Appalling. I went because it had good reviews, unfortunately, the quality of service and food was not in line with those reviews. Now I think they were made by friends of the house.
The quantity of food in each dish is enormous, unfortunately the quality is not.

A disaster. Bad attention, unfriendly. We ordered pasta, the 4 dishes were really not good... also before ordering we asked for size since they seemed expensive to us... he told us that they were normal... they are not, they are huge. so there was more than half of the food left over... They clearly took advantage of the fact that we were tourists... they didn't even care about the attention and they lied to us.

Unfortunately, we had a terrible meal at this restaurant. The fried calamari was small and did not taste good. Bread was served with our meal and the bread was good. My husband and I shared eggplant parmigiana and veal parmigiana. The eggplant was like eating rubber. There appeared to be no coating on the slices of eggplant. Either of us could finish it. The portions were of a good size, but I was so disappointed. The veal was not as bad but the marinara sauce was subpar. I really do not like to give this type of review, but we were so unhappy about our experience at Briandi.
