    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.

    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

    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.

We were seated at a table that overlooked the court and a digital screen that flashed beautiful photos of Italy's top tourist spots. My kids were thrilled when they saw Venice, since they just learned about it in school. After ordering food, I took the kids to the bocce court while my partner could enjoy the wine and watch us from above. I know he appreciated having the break and a good glass of wine to go with it. Service was friendly and the food was fantastic. We ordered several dishes including several types of pasta, meatballs, cheesy bread and a caesar salad.

Parking is tight around this area. The restaurant did not have signage viewable directing to the entrance. Entrance is through a terrace area in which there is outdoor seating and great vibing view (on a cooler and better day then this partucular day with temperatures over 100°. Entrance was made at the lower level(bar area) and greetings were made from the bartender. I then walked up the stairs to the hostess desk and was greeted again by the young lady. We were seated in a formal dining area. This is a casual to upscale dining experience. I was dressed not so casual but was not feeling out of place as it was not a lot of people inside. One large seemingly work group dining together. Hostess/waitress placed refreshing cold glasses of water on the table. I needed to wash my hands before my dining experience and meal. I asked the hostess/waitress for the location of restroom. She guided me to such. While walking to the restroom, I was able to see multiple food prep areas (open kitchen stove area, guy in another sections rolling and prepping raw ground meatballs another guy in another area. All food areas seemed neat and clean. Employees also using food prep gloves. I finally got to the restroom. Immaculately clean and smell fresh. The decor was warm and continued the asthetics of the restaurant. When I came back to the table I looked over the simple and minimalist menu. Its not overwhelming with a lot to chose from. The waitress explained the menu and when it came down to the pasta dishes she expressed the size of the half vs full. Her described portion of half was the size of a handful and the full was that of two hand fulls. I chose the bolognese (half), meatballs, and my dining guest chose a caesar salad with grilled chicken added. We decided on no other beverages beyond the water. The food came out quickly. The described size portions were as such. I was thinking the size would be not as small as it was. For a grown man or someone hungry, the half portion will not be filling. The salad came out portioned as the pasta. A handful of caesar with a large uncooked chicken breast. The meatballs (3 total) was a great portion. I found my bolognese and the meatballs to be on the side of a bit salty. My dining guest found the salad to be on the salty side as well. I enjoyed the ambiance and calm dining area but the food did not wow me. From the portions, to the taste and then the price. The caesar salad was $17 and $11 for the chicken breast that was not proportion with the hand full of romaine placed on a plate and uncut was too pricey ($28 total). They charge a 3% facility fee on to the check. Paying $80 for this experience was not justified. I am able to knock this off my list of "to go" I may take another look at coming here again but I for now will not consider anytime soon due to my first experience of the salty food. Other than the taste and portion its not a bad vibing experience.

Dalesios of Little Italy has been open since 1984 and has been serving great Italian dishes in the heart of Baltimore's Little Italy. Walking inside, the restaurant is tastefully decorated. It screams old world, European charm with it's unique art adorning the walls. I'm seated in the first dining room, closest to the front door. There's a bar inside this room which adds to the Italian decor. First time here, I don't know the restaurants portion sizes. Is it family style where one plate can feed a small army? The portion size was perfect. I ordered a nice glass of Italian wine and the Scampi & Crab Alla Sardegna. The pasta dish was amazing. The pasta was cooked perfect al dente and the Scampi & Crab sauce was something unique to Baltimore. It's Crab & Shrimp simmered in a cognac, garlic & tomato cream sauce. All of this goodness is served over linguine. I love Maryland Crabs and to have them topped in a pasta dish makes my heart sing. I highly recommend this dish. My waiter was very informative, he made some great dinner suggestions but I first had to try the Scampi & Crab Alla Sardegna. The next time I come I'm going to order the Lasagna!

For food we started with an order of garlic bread and we were quickly underwhelmed, it reminded us of Texas toast out of the freezer section and we didn't finish it. I ordered the chicken parmesan that came with broccoli, I'll start by saying the broccoli was the best thing on the plate. The food was rather bland and I felt like I could have made the same meal by grabbing a jar of marinara in the grocery store aisle. I wish I had a better review, I wanted to love this place but in between the food and service I was underwhelmed.
