Tortellini Tre Sauces (added blackened chicken)
Melinda S.

We tried this spot via delivery from Uber Eats. I ordered the tortellini tre sauces and added blackened chicken and fresh mozzarella. My bf ordered ravioli with added meatballs. The order arrived quickly and the food was still nice and warm. My bf enjoyed the ravioli and the meatballs. I tasted some of his meatball and it was good. I liked my tortellini. The blend of sauces was good. I also was happy with the added chicken. I wouldn't bother with the added mozzarella again because there wasn't much added in my opinion. Overall this was a solid spot and I'd try it again.

Pepperoni pizza

I order pasta and pizza to go from Santino at least twice a month and it is consistently just the best. Delicious, great portions, and extremely kind employees. Last night I ordered via uber eats and my pizza was missing. I called the store and they delivered it themselves within 20 minutes! This business truly cares about their customers and I will continue to go back regularly. You should too!

Osso Bucco Alla Vodka
Hunter A.

The Osso Bucco Alla Vodka is just special. I got it the first time I went here and love it too much to try anything else. Easily one of my favorite pastas I've ever had. This is now my 4th time going here / getting it. The portion size is incredible too. Chef Santino is the man.

Gnocchi Alla Sausage (missing sausage)
Lauren K.

Ordered from Brendali previously and loved it. Placed an order through DoorDash tonight for their gnocchi ala sausage, paid $4.00 to add meatballs and selected the Caesar salad option included with the meal. My order arrived missing the sausage included in the dish, and the salad is a joke. Even for something included in the meal, it's literally less than a handful of romaine tossed into a to go container. Super disappointing for $30.

Good food, excellent service, good atmosphere, everything I didn't wait long, the food was so delicious, I recommend it. Go and try the delicious dishes.

Free dessert- Cannoli- very good

Pizza was delicious! As a self proclaimed pizza snob I rate the pizza 8.8 out of 10. Very cozy and welcoming environment. We ordered takeout pizza slice combos. The waitress gave us free Cannoli's. Will definitely return.

Gnocchi Alla Sausage

Very quiet and small low key place, but the food was great. My family and I are visiting Baltimore and we just stumbled upon this place because it's close to our resort and we are lucky we did. The service was fast we got our food within 10-15 minutes of ordering and after we sat down we got complimentary bread and butter that was fresh and warm. Each meal was delicious in its own way. Both the seafood plates (Orioles Seafood) and (Fettuccine Bianco) were made with fresh seafood and were enhanced by the seafood addition instead of overpowering it with a fishy taste. I ordered the Fettuccine Bianco, the sauce was incredible with the scallops and cooked to perfection. I wish this place could get more recognition because they deserve it! With such great size portions I didn't even have room for dessert, wish I could have tried the Cannolis!

Fettuccine Bianco

If this review was based on the food alone. Brendali would receive 100% 5 stars. Pasta was incredible even the Caesar salad was one of the best I've had. The pizza was still good even later in the evening cold in our hotel room. Why I can't rate 5 stars revolves around the restaurant itself and the service. The dining room and wait staff does not meet level of the food. What presents in service and appearance as a pizza shop the level of quality of the food far surpasses both. That said, if I were a local. This place would be in my rotation for sure and without question I recommend to anyone visiting the area - just believe they are capable of a higher level of dining than they are offering.

restaurant dining area

True & Authentic Italian !!! Owner is extremely kind as well as other employees, i believe the business to be family owned and it definitely feels that way too. The restaurant is set up so beautifully with decor throughout, you can tell a lot of love was put into this restaurant. It is also extremely clean. I 10/10 recommend. The food is delicious and they're very deserving of as much business as they can get!!

THE SWEETEST MOST AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. The restaurant is beautifullily set up but sadly it looks like they don't get much business. I don't understand why because the food was delicious and a great price. The owner came out and welcomed us immediately, so kind and warm. Sadly I'm just visiting but I hope he gets the recognition he deserves

Garlic bread

We called a carry-out order from Santino and was ordering on the fly. I asked if they had white pizza (they didn't) but they ended up making one for me to try with no added cost! They should definitely add it to their menu. They have top notch customer service and the food was delicious. We got a slice of pepperoni, slice of cheese, chicken rosemary and the white pizza. They threw in a side Greek salad and garlic bread, all amazing. The prices are also super affordable and a great value. Definitely check them out! You can tell they truly care about their customers.

Linguini with Crab Sauce
Lena M.

My best friend and I stopped at Brendali for a quick bite to eat before a show. I'm so happy we came here, our dish was incredible. My review is based off of their linguine with crab sauce. When we arrived, it was empty except for the folks stopping by to grab takeout. My friend told me the restaurant stays pretty empty until later in the evening when it's packed.The service was fine. Don't let the metal chairs and plastic table clothes fool you, from what I've been told the food is good here. We adored our pasta. I'm not a red sauce girl and this pasta made me a red sauce girl. The lumps of crab meat were divine and the little tomato bits were bites of heaven. Be sure to order this dish. I'd highly recommend eating at Brendali Italian Ristorante.

Karen and Christian, our servers, took excellent care of us. My husband ordered his favorite - Chicken Francese - this is 3 chicken breasts egg-dipped in a white wine lemon butter sauce, which he asked to be served over fettuccine. I decided to try something new to me and ordered the Chicken Marsala, which was chicken and mushrooms in marsala sauce over linguine.

Also ordered a Caesar salad which unfortunately did not come (again, the delivery had other issues so I don't think it was the fault of the restaurant). My bf loved the cheese ravioli. He thought the filling was tasty and enjoyed the sauce. Their red sauce is a more chunky sauce with onions which I did not taste because I'm not a fan, but he would get it again. I'm still looking for a smooth sauce for some chicken parm, but no worries since the menu here has plenty of different sauce options! I enjoyed the chicken francese. The chicken was very tender and it was a generous portion. I felt it could have used a bit more flavor, but the sauce was a nice consistency and the linguine was cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the complimentary rolls that came with the meal. Overall, I enjoyed this spot and will try more items in the future!

I just grabbed a pie to go, but there was plenty enough seating and would be inclined to sit down and eat here next time.

Driving down York Road one day I decided let me finally make a pit stop into Baltoz. An open space counter to see some of the magic in the kitchen, no frills to the restaurant, but a warm and inviting atmosphere for hanging out and enjoying a delicious pizza for dinner. All of the baked goods displayed on the counter entice you to indulge in a sweet treat before ordering a pizza. My first visit I just settled on some cookies and a jalapeno cheddar bagel, since I was on my way elsewhere for dinner. But let me tell you how the chocolate chip cookie instantly became one of my favorite bakery cookies. And the bagel was decadent for my morning breakfast, covered in cheddar cheese with those crispy edges that bake at the base of the bagel. On my second visit I settled on their corn pizza since it was a different flavor combination, and it tasted like a slice of summer. Corn, basil, and ricotta, and you can't go wrong. And the staff has always been really pleasant with each visit. I'm a sucker for baked goods and a wood-fire pizza and I can say Baltoz has stolen my heart. I'm looking forward to trying more of their rotational baked items. And I know for certain their pepperoni pizza has to be a showstopper.

It's always best to place your order online in advance so you don't have to wait around 20 minutes. There's some bar seating available inside the restaurant but additional tables available outside. They sell thicker slices displayed as well. You can't go wrong with any of their pizzas. I've been here a few times, but recently got their vodka slice. Had to eat a couple of slices fresh out the box, before I brought the rest home. Those two slices were "molto buona"!

Forno is officially one of those spots I will make the drive for. This was my second visit, and yes, I came all the way from Gaithersburg because the food is THAT good. It's a super cozy, family-owned, hole-in-the-wall Italian spot with such a warm, homey vibe. Nothing overly fancy or pretentious, just really good food, good wine, and the kind of atmosphere where you can settle in and stay awhile. The MUST order for me is the Arrosticini -- marinated lamb skewers grilled with lemon and EVOO and served with arugula. These are authentic Italian-style lamb skewers, and I'm telling you, you do not find these everywhere. They were so good we ordered TWO rounds. I almost went for a Third but they were sold out...no shame in my game. The fried artichokes were another standout, especially with the creamy cacio e pepe sauce. That sauce was so good I was dipping everything in it by the end of the meal. We also shared the meatballs, prosciutto burrata salad, and the Calabrian Sweet & Spicy pizza which is has fig jam, Calabrian chili, mozzarella, brie, and balsamic glaze. That sweet, spicy, creamy combo on the pizza was so good. We split a bottle of wine too, and I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable some of the bottle prices were. Sam took care of us and was incredibly personable and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. We ended up lounging on the couch, sipping wine, eating amazing Italian food, and just vibing. Honestly, such a good date-night or catch-up-with-friends kind of spot. Everything I've had at Forno has been delicious so far. Can't wait to be back! 100/10 recommend. Worth the drive. Come hungry, order the lamb skewers, and thank me later.
