in what world are lukewarm mozzarella sticks served with HOT lettuce??? revolting

I've been to 42 states and multiple countries, eating Italian food & sushi in many of them. Hands down Brendali is the best Italian restaurant I've visited. It stuck out particularly during a birthday trip to Baltimore in March 2021, but now May 2022 I just bought a house in Baltimore and ordered delivery again - still a 10/10 for hearty pasta and pastries. I recommend trying their seafood pastas (duh. You're in Baltimore ), along with the Tiramisu.

Pasta is solid but definitely overpriced. Pizza is laughable. “Margherita pizza”. Putting whole thick slices will just result in the pizza tasting like water.

I ordered from here and was excited to try the food. Once it arrived, my crab dip was watery like a soup. When I started eating my Rigatoni Johnathan, I immediately started to get an allergic reaction. When I called the restaurant to inquire if there were nuts, I was met with a rude and dismissive person on the phone. I was told that I should’ve known that there were nuts in my dish but I’ve never had an allergic reaction to pesto. EVER. If a dish poses an allergy risk, it should be said. I am really upset that I was just rudely brushed off by the staff. I will never go here again.

Omg amazing!!! I had the Tortellini Alla Nona and it was sooooo good ?? highly recommended!! I also have had the baked ziti which was very very good too!

Have been a loyal customer for over 4 years and never had any issues with the restaurant, however the last 2 deliveries have been completely unacceptable. Last time I ordered my regular fettuccini Bianca (except with angel hair instead of fettuccini) I got literally a bowl of plain angel hair pasta without any sauce or seafood, keep in mind this dish is $18.Today I got my order thankfully with all the ingredients but it almost feels like the restaurant is mocking me, I asked for light sauce and here is my pasta looking like Thai coconut soup. It’s like a gamble every time we order from the restaurant - never know what’s coming next.

Real nice mom and pop. You can bring your own spirits. Found this out on way out.

So good every time I’ve ever had it. The mussels in lemon garlic sauce are heaven and dipping the bread in the leftover sauce just tops it off. Chicken Alfredo and chicken Parm are also yummy as well as the meatballs and spaghetti bolognese. Tiramisu and chocolate mouse are my go tos for dessert. Definitely my fave Italian eatery in Baltimore.

Best pizza I've had outside of NY, it has the best sauce, it has the sweetest, fluffiest, crispiest crust! A personal pie(I think it's a personal, I'm not sure if it's listed as that on the menu) is the PERFECT size, the perfect price, and to be honest, it taste so authentic, unlike a lot of places around here in Baltimore. This is the go to spot, I recommend this as the #1 pizza spot to go to before any other if you are in Baltimore or choose to visit!

The food itself was great but the non-stop stream of Grubhub, DoorDash, etc. was a little off-putting. I realize it's the time we live in but it was very distracting when you just want to sit down and enjoy a meal.
