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!

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.

There was about 8 of us and we were seated downstairs in the bar area at a high top. Despite there being a reservation, it felt like our party was a last minute thought. The table was cramped and the ambiance of the downstairs bar area was dingy and dimly-lit. Our server, who was also the only bartender, did his best to multi task all night, although his demeanor was not very warm or friendly. I ordered the gluten free version of the Samantha fettuccine. Despite this being the only noodle they don't make in house, I had to pay extra for it. Annoying, but not totally unexpected. What was disappointing was the total price for the dish. It came out to be almost $50.... I believe the pasta is marked as market price due to the inclusion of crab meat but when it arrived, there was barely any in the dish. The flavor of the sauce was good but definitely not worth the price tag. I won't be returning anytime soon.

Very attentive and made us feel so special. The entire space was so beautiful. Every area had its special touches of yellow and lemons. Black and white tiling on the floors, vegetation and lemons hanging from the outdoor sitting area. The place was immaculate. Food was amazing. We had a ragu dish topped with mushrooms, carbonara, and Kobe beef meatball topped with ricotta and pistachios. For drinks my husband got the Italian guy and I had the limoncello blush. Lastly, they surprised me with desert and a sparkler candle. I was truly impressed. I want to also add that for the quality of the food and the luxurious atmosphere, the prices were great for the food and drinks. I cannot wait to return for Brunch.

They did say I could have a seat at the bar while I wait but I opted to wait outside. When my friend arrived we were seated promptly. The restaurant itself is super cute and a cozy, intimate atmosphere. It's dimly lit with beautiful little touches throughout, including "ciao" displayed across the ceiling and a really nice sign in the foyer which makes for a great photo op. For the food we decided to share crispy Brussel sprouts and shrimp bruschetta as an appetizer. Then for my main entree I got Pappardelle Genovese which was pappardelle pasta, caramelized onion- braised beef ragú, Gorgonzola cream drizzle, Parmigiano Reggiano and then I got creme brûlée for dessert. For my drink I went with a Shirley temple. The food was super delish. I especially enjoyed the shrimp bruschetta and my pasta dish. They were not stingy with the meat at all. The server added sparklers to our dessert which was a nice touch and wished us a happy birthday. However, because we orders two desserts he informed us that he could only comp one of them as a bday dessert. We weren't expecting either to be comped so that was nice. I think the pricing was decent, two non alcoholic drinks, three appetizers, two entrees and a dessert for $130 (as of 2026). Something worth mentioning is that sending a dish back may not result in the food being comped. My friend had also ordered the polenta al funghi but didn't like the aftertaste. She told the server who said he would get the manager. The manager said the dishes are made to order and the owners don't want food being comped (I'm summarizing). Mind you no one said anything about taking it off the check. It wasn't a big deal but interesting that no resolution was offered . Like she could've suggested to replace with something else. She basically just said she's not taking it off the check and that's it. Didn't ruin the experience for me but worth mentioning in case you're the type to send things back to the kitchen. Overall, good experience and I would return.

It's one of the most beautiful spots in Little Italy, which is saying something. They use a lot of mirrors, which makes the space feel enormous, and based on ambiance alone, it would make a fantastic date spot. I ordered a flight of bruschetta, the meatballs, a tagliere of meats and cheeses, and the Culurgiones, an herb-forward stuffed pasta. The bruschettas tasted good, but they were soggy. It felt like either the bread hadn't been toasted enough or they had sat assembled for too long. Bruschetta should have some crunch and structure; these didn't. The tagliere was fine, but a little boring. More disappointing, the meats had that industrial, processed taste I associate with inexpensive domestic deli meats from the grocery store. Nothing was particularly bad, but nothing on the board made me want another bite, either. The meatballs were okay, and I'd probably order them again, but I've had much better elsewhere in Little Italy. Up to that point, the meal had mostly been a collection of "fine." Where La Tavola really lost me, though, was the Culurgiones. These are supposed to be stuffed with a potato mixture rife with saffron, pennyroyal, and other herbs. What I got tasted like pasta stuffed with mashed potatoes from a box. They were incredibly bland. Every so often I'd catch a hint of mint, but if there was saffron in there, I'd be shocked, especially since the filling remained almost completely pale, and saffron generally isn't shy about announcing itself with some colour. I ate one or two and called it quits. Biting into pasta and getting a mouthful of dry instant-potato flavour just wasn't my vibe. Maybe I ordered wrong, and there may be dishes here that shine. The room certainly does. But based on what I had, this one just didn't hit for me.

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!

It screams old world, European charm with it's unique art adorning the walls. I'm seated in the first dining room, closest to the front door. There's a bar inside this room which adds to the Italian decor. First time here, I don't know the restaurants portion sizes. Is it family style where one plate can feed a small army? The portion size was perfect. I ordered a nice glass of Italian wine and the Scampi & Crab Alla Sardegna. The pasta dish was amazing. The pasta was cooked perfect al dente and the Scampi & Crab sauce was something unique to Baltimore. It's Crab & Shrimp simmered in a cognac, garlic & tomato cream sauce. All of this goodness is served over linguine. I love Maryland Crabs and to have them topped in a pasta dish makes my heart sing. I highly recommend this dish. My waiter was very informative, he made some great dinner suggestions but I first had to try the Scampi & Crab Alla Sardegna. The next time I come I'm going to order the Lasagna!
