Brando's was founded on the premise of great food made from quality ingredients, excellent service, and a warm atmosphere which we believe are the three elements of any enjoyable dining experience.The chef/owner, Steven Botta, grew up in Brooklyn and learned many of recipes used at Brando's from his mother. Raised in this welcoming tradition, he believes when you enter Brando's, whether its your first time or your one hundredth time, you should always feel like they are dining with family.Soulful Italian is the best way to describe our menu. Our culinary team has been trained at the finest culinary schools, and has over fifty years of combined experience.

    A group of 5 ladies celebrating a birthday. This group has been friends since teen years and now all in our 70's. We selected Piccolo Italia because it is one of the best restaurants in Monmouth County. The atmosphere is relaxing and friendly. The owners are outstanding people and the FOOD is excellent. Chicken Milanese and Chicken Parm are highly recommended. Make a reservation and go asap

    Great place! It was our first time here. Even though the place was packed our server never made us wait too long and she was always checking in on us to see if we needed anything. The giant screens are awesome to watch the games. Overall a great experience and we will be back!

    Fun beautiful restaurant in Asbury Park. My friend had the Caesar salad which looked very good. I didn’t have an appetizer but many good options to choose from I had the seafood fradiablo which was excellent and very flavorful. The zeppolies for dessert was the winner, fantastic. I would go back to Brando’s an enjoyable dining experience.

    We went to celebrate our daughters birthday. Our server Jesse, was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and made great suggestions. The restaurant is nicely decorated! The food was excellent. I had the lamb shank special over risotto and the lamb was so tender and flavorful. My wife and one daughter got the skirt steak with orzo. The steak was cooked perfectly and the orzo was delicious. My other daughter had a fantastic burger. The crispy burrata was so delicious. My only complaint would be you only get one for $16. Highly recommend AP Rooftop!!
