Atmosphere, staff, food were all good! I enjoyed that my meal didn't feel rushed. Unlike most restaurants these days they didn't bring out the Entree at the same time as your appetizer. The dining room was amazing! We'll definitely be making a come back! read more

This restaurant was a total disappointment when we went there on May 2, 2026. We had a group of 6 people. I should have known it wouldn't be good when the bread they gave us was most definitely stale. We had to wait a long time to get our appetizers and an even longer wait to actually get our meals. The appetizers were the only decent thing about the total meal. I had the stuffed shrimp - the stuffing was mushy and the shrimp were overcooked. They tasted like rubber. Three people in our party had prime rib. This prime rib was dry and tasteless - it didn't come with any juices at all! The broccoli that came with it was ice cold. Two others in the group had the fish filets - they were also not hot at all and came with a side of cold broccoli. For what you pay to eat here I expected much better than this. The restaurant was not busy at all - most of the tables were empty, so I am not sure why the service was so extremely slow. We have eaten here before and had good meals - but this last time was worst meal we have had out in a long time. I don't expect to be going back here anymore. read more

We stopped in here for dinner. Never been in the place before. Has a great atmosphere and great staff the food was good I had no complaints Only that we asked for our dinner to be held back so we can talk and have a drink But they brought it out right away Nothing wrong with the food at all it's quite nice And plenty to take home We really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to going back read more

The service is wonderful and the food is fantastic. I highly recommend Brandywine. Reservations are recommended but we have only made one in the 20 something years we've been going read more

Love this place. They have the definitive Chicken Scarpariello! The best I've ever had! Also the Chicken Riggies are amazing! the only drawback is the bread. It tastes like grocery store Italian bread. Everything else is amazing ! read more

When you're looking for Italian and you're in the Catskills (Windham/Hunter) Brandywine is a great choice. If you're around on a Wednesday you can enjoy pasta nights at $11.95, offering a solid selection of pasta dishes. Keep in mind it'll be packed! The complimentary bread and herb butter are a nice touch. Our pasta had good flavor and was cooked well, though we'd prefer a thicker sauce. The spinach salad for 2 at $9 is a great value, prepared tableside. The atmosphere is relaxed, perfect for conversations without feeling rushed. When it's not pasta night, the Eggplant Rolatini is a reliable choice. Whenever I'm in Windham, Brandywine is my go-to spot! The casual atmosphere allows for enjoyable group conversations. The portion sizes, quality, vibe, and especially the prices are amazing. Brandywine exudes old-world charm with a friendly and courteous server. The food is not only delicious but also available for takeout with generous portion sizes. The diverse wine collection, along with beer and cocktails, adds to the experience. The service is top-notch, creating a romantic and cozy atmosphere suitable for all ages. Fun and satisfying in every aspect! read more

Brandywine delivers! Great Italian food with an old school, Catskill NY vibe. Highly recommend the hot antipasto appetizer, as good as it gets. The linguini Sinatra is a favorite pasta dish. Great food and affordable pricing read more

Whenever I visit Upstate I have to go to Brandywine! Such a ca atmosphere where you can sit with your group and have a conversation.and enjoy without being rushed. The bread, the pasta, the steak and seafood are all good. Love the baked clams! read more

The food was a 6.5/10. there was probably an open wound on the chef who made our dishes because it had a bit of a metallic taste but nonetheless it was really good. the atmosphere was very chill and a serene vibe, totally fitting for being across from a cemetery. the various artworks and lights were surprisingly soothing for my easily overstimulated experiences of going out in public. the waitress who took our order at the bar, i believe her name is janice, was very robotic-like, yet friendly? comparative to the new tesla ai robots. yeah, that's janice. i feel like the space could have included a bowling alley though.. something to bring the community together and make it a bit more lively. overall, im not sure i'll be back as i live in new zealand and came to new york for my sons gay wedding (i called ahead to this place for them to make the wedding cake, vanilla, rainbow sprinkles with two groomsmen placed on top, but they said they can't accommodate same sex weddings as it is against their town rules) bummer. i think that was a lie though, personally i think janice just didn't want to get her hands dirty making a nice wedding cake. however they did make us snow cones using the snow from outside and flavored it with their many alcoholic beverages. it was fantastic! 4/10 experience read more

We have been coming here for a few years. The food is fresh and delicious. It takes a little while to come, but that is because they make everything from scratch. Last weekend, they hosted my husband's birthday party. They were absolutely wonderful. The food was great, they even included sodas and appetizers and the service was perfect. They were thoughtful and accommodating. I truly cannot recommend them enough. read more

Old school vibe, not bad. Food: The salad came out dressed when I asked for it on the side. Ok, not the end of the world. I asked for shrimp in my dish and I couldn't find any, so I asked the server. She said there should be 2. 2 shrimp for an entree meal? I was speechless. So the meal in general aside from that was lackluster. Both the eggplant rollatini and baked ziti were just ok. Eggplant was cold and mushy, baked ziti... wasn't baked? Like it was just pasta w melted cheese on top and not a lot of cheese. The drinks were the best part of the meal. The check came and of course I was up-charged for my two shrimp lol. I didn't even take a doggy bag which is unheard of for us. Somehow we had a $150 pre-tip bill for just entrees and 2 drinks each. The bill was also not itemized at all for drinks so I couldn't even tell if it was right. check out Mama Maria's a bit further on 23, it blows this place out of the water and is half the price. read more

Wednesday night pasta night is a good value- $11.95 for selection of pasta dishes. Good bread and herb soft butter served when we sat down. Our pasta had good flavor, pasta was cooked well but would have preferred a thicker sauce. They were very busy, and service was OK. We ordered spinach salad for 2 that was $9- very good value. Salad was prepared table side. Decent wine list. Eggplant Rolatini is a staple here and always a good choice. read more

We love coming here to dine in or take food to eat at home when we're in Windham - the food is always great, the portions are enormous, and the prices are fantastic! The bar area is spacious and inviting, and the staff is always on point! My favorites are the beef monagasque, homemade artichoke hearts, and mozzarella in Carozza; their homemade burrata is to die for as well I will keep visiting and supporting this Windham staple, and I hope we have it around for many years to come! read more

This is an excellent restaurant. Great food, and wonderful service. Enjoy some wine and the view with great friends. read more

Brandywine Restaurant - a plate of food on a table - Italian Near Me - Windham, New York

Brandywine is hands-down the best Italian restaurant on the mountain - serving up superior dishes with authentic roots, in an elegant-but-unpretentious setting with comfort & friendly service. You WILL NOT FIND a more favorable quality:price ratio as far as the eye can see. read more

Had a few moments with stuffed clams but was downhill from there. The mozzarella app was not as advertised. Was basically a gob of cheese on an over dressed salad. The soup of the day had almost no flavor. Water with chicken. Tons of great options on the menu. I chose veal Saltimbocca. Turned out to be two extremely thin pieces of veal and a tiny piece of prosciutto on a plate full of soggy spinach and some watery sauce. Nasty. The waitress was nowhere to be found after ordering. Couldn't get water forget about a second drink. Bus girl came by at least 4 times and asked if we were finished. Finally, the place is so dark I used my phone light to cut veal. read more

The owner/hostess is a very rude person. Did not welcome us. I would not recommend this restaurant. Lets not get started on the food. Very buttery and salty. read more

Always a great choice. The baked clams were delicious. The Veal Was tender and tasty. Nice portions. Make sure you stop here for dinner!

It's a bit of a strange lobby which was empty when we arrived. The hostess showed up and didn't greet us but gave us a look like she didn't know why we were there. A second after we sat down we were asked for our drink order. No time to decide and no wine menu given. We had to ask for the wine menu. The beer options were limited for our group as they prefer more microbrew types of beer and the IPA tap was out. When we chose the wine we were asked what's the number? The server didn't care to learn about the wine the restaurant serves only that you need to order bottles of wine by the number. There were some other strange things that happened while we were there which left us feeling like we made the wrong decision to come here for dinner. We ordered 4 different entrees and none of us felt we would return. The good- hot bread with an excellent herb butter. Nice side salad with homemade dressing. Cozy booth seating. read more

What a great meal with great friends. My family and I have been going here for over 35 years and the food and service never disappoint. Escargot to start, followed by a perfect Veal Milanese over a bed of Sauteed Spinach and Garlic and a decadent piece of Tiramsu to end. Well done Lou, Dave and Joe! And great cocktails Aunt Bevey read more

I first came to this restaurant because I was looking for food for my wedding and Brandywine came HIGHLY recommended by my new in-laws. And from the beginning of the process to the very end, they did not disappoint. All of my guests RAVED about the food, everything was fresh and delicious. One of my guests said they had 10 meatball appetizers and another said they had taken third helpings of everything! Even I had to make time to eat at my own wedding, something a lot of brides skip! Not only was the food perfection but all during the planning process the owner, Joe, had been so accommodating, and patient with our endless questions (we planned this wedding mostly ourselves), and really had insight into what would work best and was BEYOND helpful. Listen, I can't say enough about this place. Stop in for lunch or dinner- it's amazing. Also, try the eggplant rollatini, it is soooo good!!! read more

We visited Windham for the weekend and we were taken to Brandywine for dinner on Saturday night. Brandywine is a decent family-friendly Italian restaurant. My eggplant rollatini was very good. I'm taking off a star because service was very slow. It took a long time to get our food. read more

My family and I have been dining here for around 30 years, definitely our most visited restaurant. Food and service are always great. Beverly at the bar makes fantastic drinks. Decor is warm and inviting. A must visit in Windham. read more

This is my new favorite Italian eatery!! The atmosphere is nice, the waitstaff are very attentive and polite and the food is delicious!! We went on a busy night and all the staff were hustling and providing excellent service. They brought us out Italian bread loaf with little breadsticks underneath with a side of their homemade garlic butter to start. I ordered a special appetizer which were mini clams in some sort of delicious marinade/broth and my brother ordered the mozzarella in corrozza which is a fried mozzarella sandwich (highly recommend if you love mozz sticks). For dinner I ordered the veal parm that came with a salad and a side order of spaghetti. Let me tell you the portion of veal was huge and their homemade special tomato sauce was to die for!! It may seem a little pricy but the quality of food and portions they give you are well worth it! read more

5 of us had a amazing dinner at Brandywines after a great day on the slopes at Windham Mountain . The eggplant rollatini was the best I have ever had! Everyone at the table raved about the food. The lamb chop special was out of this world. Our server was the best wish I remembered his name . Cant wait to return! read more

"Sorry!" False advertising of a pasta dish that wasn't at all what it was supposed to be and all the waitress could say was "Sorry!" She even checked with the chef and he said oops! What kind of customer service is that? They did nothing to make attempts for compensation. read more

My husband and I stayed in the area for our wedding anniversary. We went for pasta Wednesday as recommended by the locals unfortunately we found our waitress to be very unfriendly, cold, and Curt. The windows are filthy The rug looks original tables and chairs are worn out, decor is tired-looking. I gave it to stars because the food was satisfactory read more

Delicious food, good service, and you've gotta love the Tolkien-inspired theme and decor. This place is a treat, definitely worth experiencing. Go and enjoy! read more

No complaints at all, only compliments. Food was good, drinks were good, service was great. The decorations are very cute. I sat in a booth with my girlfriend, instantly felt like date night. Little bit pricey but not too crazy. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Hostess did not smile. Service was poor even though we were there at 5:45pm and there weren't many people around. Our waitress did not tell us about specials which we only found out about when the waitress at the next table asked the customers. Our food took over 45 minutes to arrive. Food was ok. Carbonara was way too creamy. read more

We were here with friends and the dinner was excellent. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I see that people complained about slow service. We did not experience that. Service was perfect. I had the Veal Sorrentino and it was delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

To start, they DO take credit cards and (on holidays at least) reservations. Walked in on a holiday to find a nicely lit, tidy space with lots of bare wood and cozy booths along the walls. They were nearly at capacity in our side of the dining area but the waiters and bussers were attentive and quick to check on us, refill drinks, and clear empty plates. The house salads were generic bagged fare with iceberg lettuce and a lonely plum tomato. The appetizers were the highlight of the evening and included some ho-hum quality but ENORMOUS scallops that were perfectly done. I appreciate a well cooked scallop, so this was worth a half if not whole star right here. Dinner included beef and chicken dishes, which, while cooked to the ordered doneness, were both drowned in busy, messy, bland sauces that were forgivable on the pollo dish and what would best be described as "MRE" with the beef. I almost want to add a star for the service staff and the glimmers of potential in the food prep, but am held back by the experience of being thoroughly unsatisfied with the entrees. I decided to not let it spoil the mood and to not give the staff a hard time on the holiday, but these plates would have been disappointing at half the price. read more

PASTA WEDNESDAY!!! Good food, good service, nice atmosphere. I like the booth seating and they have a nice bar area. This is the BEST restaurant in Windham. Order the mozzarella appetizer. I can't remember what it's called but it's a pad of breaded mozzarella decadence. Good wine. Plenty of parking. Eat, drink and be merry at Brandywine. read more

Brandywine is stuck in a time warp but the food is still good. The mozzarella appetizer was delicious and my eggplant rollatini was great! The server was awesome as well, she took great care of us. I could do without the cheesy decor but other than that, no complaints. read more

Italian food in a rustic lodge environment.. The portions were very generous and well executed. We had the tortellini which we loved, the shallots were a perfect addition to the sauce. The chicken rollatini was unique. It was rolled with swiss and ham and dressed in a light wine sauce. The service was attentive and pleasant as well. Our only question is why were there illustrations of characters from the hobbit drawn on the menu pages? This was a little strange to us. read more

Second visit a month apart and just as good! Service was fast and efficient and the food was amazing. Listen, I'm sure many have had Créme Brûlée before. But until you have the one homemade by head chef and owner Lou, you haven't had the best! Located in little Ashland, I was surprised at the quality of the food, great atmosphere and both times I ate (weekdays), they were pretty busy for the area. I haven't been there on a Wednesday night yet, but heard of you love spaghetti, this is the spot! But word is to get there early! Did I mention the owner is Italian? The man knows how to cook! read more

We had a great time here! It was a busy Saturday night during peak season and our waitress Meadow was amazing! My son has Autism and likes his food a certain way, and she made sure everything was done exactly like he wanted. I was worried that service would be lacking on such a busy night but it definitely was not! I had wanted an earlier reservation but couldn't get one, but the restaurant called me when a table became available earlier than anticipated. I was so appreciative of this. Food was delicious. Steak cooked to perfection. Drinks were delicious. We will definitely be back. read more
