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.

This restaurant did not disappoint! We were seated upstairs, surrounded by people eating crabs by the dozen. Nice! However, we weren't much in the mood to fight for our meals so we got the hushpuppies and fried pickles for an appetizer and then decided to split a double crab cake platter with curly fries and coleslaw. Hushpuppies - fabulous! (Not sure how I feel about the cinnamon butter, and I like cinnamon) Fried pickles - epic! And the bmore ranch served with them? Stellar. Crab cakes - fantabulous! It was almost entirely crab with very little filler. The crab meat was sweet and succulent and just perfect. I liked the slaw - it had a tiny hint of jalepeno or something. The only thing that wasn't great were the curly fries, and it's not like they were bad. Just not fabulous. Also, the servers were very nice. The power went off while we were there and everyone just took it in stride til it kicked back in. Excellent restaurant and I'm so glad we went!

Great place for steamed crabs!! The atmosphere is fun, especially when the Ravens are playing!…read moreOutdoor seating is a great atmosphere to share with friends/family. The crabs are hot and seasoned well. Only disappointment was the size. We wanted X-large crabs but they only had large and mediums. Unfortunately, the large crabs looked like medium sized crabs. Make sure you get there early because the crabs sell out fast! Also, we tried the calamari and fish n chips however neither tasted seasoned. We also had some cocktails but they were watered down. So, if you decide to order a cocktail you may want to stick with something bottled. A popular favorite cocktail was the Rum Punch which is very tasty!

The first time, we decided to try them anyway, but they were just too small for our liking. This time, we opted for the snow crab pot instead, and it was absolutely delicious! The snow crab was so juicy and flavorful. We also ordered the shrimp, which was a solid **10/10!** I paired everything with their Hugo Spritz, and it was the perfect addition to the meal. Everything was delicious, and overall, we had another great experience. Service was good as always. I'll definitely be back because I always enjoy the atmosphere and food here. My only wish is that they had larger crabs available more often!

They did send out a dessert, on the house, since we did have to wait past our reservation time which was a nice gesture.

The Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes were the star of the meal--packed with large pieces of sweet crab meat, lightly seasoned, and cooked to perfection with very little filler. The Haddock was fresh, flaky, and perfectly fried with a light, crispy coating. We also ordered the Pot Boil with crabs, shrimp, and snow crab legs, and it did not disappoint. The seafood was fresh, generously portioned, and seasoned just right, making it a fun and satisfying meal to share. What made the experience even better was the outstanding staff.

Their excellent service truly elevated the entire dining experience. If you're visiting Baltimore and love fresh seafood, Faidley's at the new Lexington Market is a must-visit.

I was only there for a short time, and this restaurant was at the top of my list. When we arrived, a very pleasant staff member greeted us. She was patient, knowledgeable about the menu, and even let us sample the soups before we ordered. We got the jumbo lump crab cake, clam chowder, shrimp-stuffed crab, greens, macaroni and cheese, and coleslaw. As a seafood lover, I thought the food was absolutely delicious--an easy 10 out of 10. The staff inside also provided great customer service. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience was disappointing. The patio was the only area with regular seating; inside, the tables are standing tables. We were eating on the patio when the owner came out and took the hot sauce bottle, explaining that we couldn't keep it at the table. She offered to bring us some hot sauce to go, which was fine. About 10 minutes later, she returned and said the patio would need to close soon. It was around 4 p.m., and the restaurant closes at 5:30, so we were surprised. We acknowledged her and continued eating. About 15 minutes later, she came back and asked if we wanted to-go boxes. At that point, we told her we felt rushed. She said she needed to close and lock up the patio. We told her there was no sign posted saying the patio closed early and asked how we were supposed to know. She dismissed our concern and casually replied, "Well, I guess I can put one up." I believe the owner's name was Nancy, but one of the workers inside told us her name was Eve. That interaction took away from what had started as a great meal. We had traveled about 40 minutes by Uber, spent over $100, and explained that this was our first visit to Baltimore and the first stop on our itinerary. Even though the food was a 10 out of 10, customer service triumphs over the food for me. I'm spending my hard-earned money, and I expect to feel welcome while doing so. It's sad to say, but I will not be returning.
