    The story...
    Laurie Y.

    Visiting Boston and this restaurant was recommended since I love Italian food! It's a nice trendy restaurant with lots of merchandise to buy including take home entrees and desserts! @

    AMAZING place - and a special shout-out to Ayanna (sorry if I spelled the name incorrectly). We had a large group event (20) at Brelundi and top to bottom it was an incredible experience. The food, the decor - and especially the service. Thank you thank you!

    Affordable place for quick pizza bites in the area. We ordered cheese pizza, vegetable pizza without sausage, meatball side dish and large cannolis as a desert. Cheese pizza was pretty good, it tasted like a classic American cheese pizza. On the other hand, vegetable pizza was pretty bad. The dough was super wet and soggy, and the seasoning was blend. Meatball side dish was composed of three large meatballs and marinara sauce was delicious as well. Cannoli was good, it was large as we expected and filling was fresh and heavy. Would I come back? Probably not, maybe for cheese pizza but I will keep my search through the area to find better pizza shop.

    Grilled seafood and veggies, eggplant parm

    My grilled seafood and veggies with rice was a delicious splurge. The salmon was particularly well prepared. Hubby had yummy eggplant parm. The limoncello cake and chocolate fudge cake were outstanding.

    Panini sandwich

    My daughter and I had lunch while in the area visiting colleges. Very nice table outside, service was prompt and very helpful. Sandwiches were huge! We ordered paninis and assumed they would be grilled, but they were not. Not a big deal - very tasty, fresh and bread delicious. The best part of lunch was the tiramisu- YUM -don't miss it!!

    Menu

    We had a late lunch over the weekend. The dishes were not bad, and the service was friendly and generous. However, the $37 for the Pescatore seemed overpriced, especially considering it was made with frozen seafood; we could find a fresher seafood dish at other restaurants. The antipasto Brelundi was good, except for the fried dough, which was too oily. Overall, we had a relaxing and enjoyable lunch!

    I checked this place out on a Wednesday night before I was going to hang with friends in the attached apartment building. I knew that a friend or two was going to join me at the restaurant, but didn't know when. The staff was very accommodating in letting me hang at a table for two alone for a while and then switching me to a table for 4 when 2 other friends showed up. They came over with a bread basket right away. It had a mix of bread, bread sticks, etc. I poured myself some olive oil with a little salt and pepper and went to town. I ordered a lemon drop martini to drink and it was delightful. Not too sweet or sour and only $10.50! For my entree, I was considering a basic spaghetti and meatball dish, but then asked the waitress how the lasagna was. She said it was amazing, so I went with that. She wasn't kidding. I got a huge portion of perfectly cooked, cheesy, meat-saucy lasagna. It was so delicious. Probably the best lasagna I've had in a while. The portion was so big, that I had a sizable piece left over for lunch the next day (and it was just as yummy reheated). Of course, the guy at my table was like "I don't want to spend money on food. I'll order two of these cocktails though!". Lol. He ordered 2 The Godfather drinks (bourbon & disaronno) and they were boooozy! And good. No judgement for his choices. My other friend didn't drink, but got the chicken parm panini. It was a large sandwich and she also was able to take half home. She said that she liked it, but wished there was more sauce. Unfortunately, my friend is moving away from the building, so I won't have a "reason" to come back to this area. BUT, if I do happen to be in the area, I would totally come back for the great food & service and the good, reasonably priced drinks!

Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I ordered an Old-Fashioned and my companion a glass of chardonnay, both of which came promptly and were enjoyable. After some inquiries I settled on the self-advertised fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs. My companion asked about a favorite no longer on the menu, a salad with grilled chicken, and after checking with the kitchen our server was happy to report it could be ordered. My companion asked for dressing on the side and unfortunatel the salad came out dressed. Our server was happy to return it to the kitchen and it came out after not too much time had elapsed, the way she'd ordered it. I'm always skeptical that ribs will be fall-off-the-bone but these were close. Unfortunately, they seemed a little off; I still can't decide if they were on the dry side, lacking in flavor, or both. But the meat did come off the bone easily, so there was that. They came with french fries which were good, The location is handy and there is on-site parking. The atmosphere was energetic and it must be a popular after-work place because there were several large (10+) tables occupied. Still, not sure I would go back soon when there are other comparable places in the area.

Great place for a quick bite, after work meet/up (or even a romantic dinner if you reserve the high table near the fireplace). Waitress was very nice and attentive. Great cocktail & wine selection. Crab stuffed shrimp and an entree is plenty for 1 person. Rib eye was phenomenal. Sauce wasn't needed. Crab cakes were just ok. I didn't understand the chip like flakes that were added on top. Small portions, but yet filling. I couldn't finish the large tiramisu which was also very good. The added morsels gave it a nice touch. Overall, good for locals, nearby employees or shoppers.

I prefer this location now to Needham , because seating is less cramped and it is quieter, although the food is equally good. It is important to note that it is expensive, but well worth it for special occasions.

I am by no means an Indian food connoisseur, but I was glad to see a variety of more typical dishes like butter chicken, to dosas (gluten free!), idly, and specialty dishes from different regions. They were also able to accommodate a number of dietary restrictions in our group (gluten and dairy free, nut free, vegetarian, vegan), so it was a win all around. For my family, I ordered the sambar vada (gluten free lentil fritters), palak paneer (spinach and paneer cheese), Kerala fish pollichatthu. The fritters were a hit with the little one and came with a tangy sauce (sambar). The palak paneer was a very good version of this classic dish. The Kerala fish entree was my "why not" dish, mostly chosen since I know some folks from Kerala. They weren't around to give me the heads up that it would be a whole small fish cooked in banana leaves, though. I was a little surprised, but it was rather tasty, even if there amount of meat was a bit limited. I'll need to include them in my regular takeout roster in the future, and I'd love to dine in sometime too. The interior looks gorgeous from the pictures.
