    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

Dalesios of Little Italy has been open since 1984 and has been serving great Italian dishes in the heart of Baltimore's Little Italy. Walking inside, the restaurant is tastefully decorated. 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.

For food we started with an order of garlic bread and we were quickly underwhelmed, it reminded us of Texas toast out of the freezer section and we didn't finish it. I ordered the chicken parmesan that came with broccoli, I'll start by saying the broccoli was the best thing on the plate. The food was rather bland and I felt like I could have made the same meal by grabbing a jar of marinara in the grocery store aisle. I wish I had a better review, I wanted to love this place but in between the food and service I was underwhelmed.
