Brendali Italian - Baltimore

We had dinner here for the first time. It was around 7:45 pm on a Saturday night and the place was empty, but that didn't deter us. Grabbed the table by the window. Our server was friendly and attentive. Had the Wedding Soup, Caesar Salad, Shrimp Fra Diavolo, Spaghetti Marinara with Meatballs, and Tiramisu. Everything was delicious! They know what they're doing in the kitchen! : Oh, and it's BYOB, which we had planned for and brought our own wine. We hope to be back soon!

Food was excellent, but service and cleanliness leave much to be desired. We chose the table by the window, and it was dirty, delivered plateware was dirty as well. Paint on walls needs touching up, there is a messy separation from a red part of a wall to a white one. It's like they ran out of paint and didn't bother. No one at host stand when we arrived, I had to yell into the kitchen. Communication is difficult with staff, they only seem to know a few key phrases in English.

Great spot for dinner! Parking is challenging so be prepared to walk. Very small inside so plan accordingly for your visit as to not miss out on the delicious food! We ate around 530 on a rainy Saturday and this hit the spot.I could tell this place was popular given the constant stream of meal delivery folks coming in for orders. Non stop!Our dishes were sensational and the service quick. The bread was fresh and the tomatoes were divine.

Brendali gets 3 stars due to the yumminess of their food. I am VERY disappointed at how jacked up their prices have become. I am also disappointed that they don’t offer SIDE salads. You have to order a full-sized salad. Therefore, two house salads cost approx $18!! That’s completely unacceptable and absurd. I am appalled by this. It’s literally 90% romaine lettuce. Most restaurants either offer side salads or they’re included with the meal. Also, my husband ordered a side of fettuccini Alfredo with the meal. He confirmed it, TWICE. It even says so on the receipt. Instead, they provided penne pasta. Wow. Just wow. You really disappoint me, Brendali.

The food was excellent! It was full of flavor and it tasted fresh. You can tell that the cooks took their time creating this exquisite meal. The waiter was so patient with me and answered any, and every question I had. The owner of the restaurant even took the time to greet me, ask me how the food was, and make sure that I was satisfied with everything. I would definitely come here again and bring my family to try it and recommend it to anyone coming to Baltimore! Many of their orders are pick up, but sitting down and enjohe meal is such a different experience that I would highly recommend. The waiter is very attentive and you never feel neglected even though they had many customers! 10/10 ?
