What a delightful experience. From beginning to end the service was welcoming and the cuisine was magnificent. Authentic Italian pasta was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Very bad food. Pasta was not even cooked. Pizza crust was also bad. We realized after no one ordered pizza:(. Not at all worth the price. Don’t go

This place sucks. Manager has no idea what is hospitality, I was the last table to come in on my birthday and instead rejecting us she send she send us off on the worst dinning experience of my life.

I'm blown away. Traveled over 2000 miles to eat here and was not disappointed. If you love meat and Italians, bring them here. You literally feel like you're sitting next to mobsters here. What a fantastic Italian ambiance.

Parking is a NIGHTMAREAnd go with another coupleParking: Nightmare on street parking forget about ittttt impossible
Highlight birthday for a friend turned our dining experience sour with our server Brian. We have been customers for over ten years bringing family and friends during memorable times to celebrate. When you are expected to leave in 1.5 hours and server takes twenty minutes to bring drinks and take food order it leaves very little time to enjoy a meal never mind a celebration dessert! The appetizers came out warm and meal was good but at this price point it should have been better executed. Server offered dessert, but at this point and feeling way too rushed we passed. Thankfully, a local restaurant slipped us in so we could have dessert and finish our celebration night. The icing on the cake was when we left there were 3 tables open, with only one party waiting to be seated. The dining experience at Brando's is all about them and not the customer. Plenty of restaurants in area that offer better service, food and respect repeat customers. We won't be back!

Not a fan of burned meatballs. Otherwise the food was very good.

I visited Brando's a year ago. Everything was perfect so I decided to come back. This time I have to say it was a big disappointment. We ordered the Octopus, Angoletti, Lolipop Lamb Chops, and Clams Oregenata for Appetizers. The octopus was terrible. It had a fishy smell to it and the red wine sauce was watery and not reduced properly. The lamb chops and other appetizers were good I didn't care for the Agnellotti. Main courses we ordered the KC steak, seafood fra Diablo, Parpadelle Toscana, and Veal Chop Parmigiana. The veal chop looked nothing like the picture with nice white mozzarella. It looked liked they reused a breaded veal chop and put it back in the oven. Pay attention to the picture I post and the actual picture of the Veal Chop Parmigiana on their website. The Pasta dishes both of them were dry and had no taste whatsoever except the pepper burning your tongue. The steak was good and cooked well. Dessert we had the pistachio ice cream cake which was delicious. Overall for the price you pay the restaurant doesn't warrant a return. It's very unfortunate because to find proper Italian food in NJ is very difficult. Consistency is key.
Exceptional, you need to try it for yourself!
