Brando's - Asbury Park

Our experience tonight was terrific! I had made a reservation for a party of 6, with a note that we had to be out in 90 minutes to see a longtime friend perform at the Stone Pony. I received a call from the restaurant to confirm the day before, expressing concern that 90 minutes wouldn't be enough time for us to enjoy the dining experience of their restaurant. That alone was impressive, but the food was even better than that. My wife and friends each had salads and glasses of wine for starters. My buddy Brian ordered a personal pizza that he loved, his wife Peg seemed more than satisfied with her lobster ravioli. My wife Donna said her chicken piccata was the best she's had in years, while I went old school Italian with meatballs and pasta. As the four of us are pretty discerning when it comes to Italian food, I can tell you that Brando's is as fine a dining establishment as you will find... Not just in Asbury Park, but anywhere! We'll be back!

ABSLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Ambience is cozy and warm, elegant and intimate. The service was impeccable. Brian, our waiter, was phenomenal. Full bar, great wine recommendation perfect! Tell them it was our anniversary, and there were rose petals on the table and several confirmations from when we entered the door until we left. Never felt hurried. The food was absolutely delicious. Heavy food allergy respected and meal was ordered accordingly. Portions were very generous and food was fresh and place was nice! Elevated Italian never tasted so good! I researched restaurants actively for two weeks and this place received Rave reviews. I have nothing negative to say. We're coming back!

Our new favorite restaurant. We need to book 2 weeks before booking. The service is excellent and the prices are fair for what you get. Portions are large-band leaving room for dessert.

Vlad was our waiter. He was very helpful. We had my grandson 18 months old Vlad got him his pasta right away.

Food was excellent.. Guseppi our waiter was always there for everything we needed. No long waits for anything. Pricey but you get your money's worth. Will be back
