Santino Ristorante

We called a carry-out order from Santino and was ordering on the fly. I asked if they had white pizza (they didn’t) but they ended up making one for me to try with no added cost! They should definitely add it to their menu. They have top notch customer service and the food was delicious. We got a slice of pepperoni, slice of cheese, chicken rosemary and the white pizza. They threw in a side Greek salad and garlic bread, all amazing. The prices are also super affordable and a great value. Definitely check them out! You can tell they truly care about their customers.

Really great experience at Santino Restaurant. The pizza was excellent—crispy crust, fresh toppings, and you can really taste the homemade sauce. It’s clear they care about the quality. The service was just as good—friendly, quick, and helpful without being over the top. Just a solid spot all around. I’ll definitely be back.

Delicious food all made in house with fresh ingredients. Salads are included when you walk in the door. Bread is made to order and so GOOD! Dressings were fresh and tasty! Service was on point and they are willing to make whatever you want, even if not on the menu. (Mind you it was not too busy when we were there) Give this place a try. You won’t regret it!

I ordered GrubHub from Santinos and it was delicious. The penne puttanesca was the best Italian food I’ve ever had! Great look forward to visiting in person! 5/5

Came here with family on Christmas Eve for dinner. Everything was amazing, especially the pastas. We had 4 different types of pasta and loved each one. Service was so friendly and made our Christmas Eve one to remember.

Disappointed. Pizza crust was definitely not authentic, and definitely canned sauce. Brown lettuce? So sad, after all of the hype from the reviews 😫

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.

I am from NY AND THIS PLACE the best Italian food I’ve had Maryland especially the pizza the sauce you can tell is made from scratch the crust is amazing and soft and crunchy the atmosphere is great for couples and family alike …myself and my girlfriend come here at least 3-5 times a month and are never disappointed …complimentary salad and breadsticks are simple but delicious …the service makes us feel like family… 5 stars!!!

I ordered a (baked zitty with grilled chicken, I also ordered a linguine with crab sauce and a house salad) my food came nicely packed and hot and the workers were really helpful when needing assistance, I really enjoyed seeing how the food looked really good and you could tell how fresh it was.

Super accommodating. We stopped by driving thru baltimore and decided to try it out! It's like a hidden gem! No wonder why there was uber eat drivers or door dash drivers picking up take out orders minute after minute - didnt stop while we dined in for these delicious pasta and you know what!!! Pizza was amazing!!! Holy .... Yum. You try it fam! And tell me I'm wrong.

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.

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.

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!

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.

This one is a disappointment. I was really excited to try their food because I walked past them almost every day walk in my dog in downtown Fed Hill. Was in the mood for a really creamy and rich fettuccine pasta so I wanted to take the time to try them out. I kept it simple because I was trying them for the first time. Did a pick up order on DoorDash. I did The creamy Alfredo pasta with grilled chicken. The sauce was actually really good in flavorful, but it was hard to taste because all I could taste was the burnt chicken. The burnt chicken breast was so overwhelming. I got hardly finished the dish. It was just pieces of burnt chicken. I'm guessing maybe from the grill. It just tasted like burnt creamy Alfredo smh.

Absolutely amazing service and food. Only one man was working and my group came to find out that he's also the owner, chef, waiter, and busser all in one. He said he's currently looking for other employees but for the time being, it's just him. The owner was very adamant on giving the customer whatever they want to order. He said the customer's experience with the food is all he cares about and he can change any menu option to fit the customer's wants. All around, 10/10 meal!

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.

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

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.

Services 10/10 Food 10/10 .Great experience definitely coming back . Graer ambience

Santino one of the best Italian restaurants in Baltimore city I love . The waiters were very friendly. And the food was delicious. I will definitely return to Santini Restaurant.

The chicken cutlet Parmesan sub was awesome. Loved the food this weekend when we were in Baltimore. We will be ordering this the next time that we visit. It's really delicious. Thank You!!!!

The food was amazing. Simply tasty. I was served by a young kid who did an amazing job. Very cozy and a homey environment.

Santinos provides a professional, welcoming, and amazing customer service! They have good manners, provide you insight if you have questions on anything and are ready to serve! - Jalen Crump

Was greeted right away and seated. Took our order very promptly. Our salad and bread came out fast. The salad was very refreshing. I always judge a place by their sauce. I love sweet sauce. The spaghetti, lasagna and meatballs were very good.

started with mussels in wine sauce then the eggplant Food was good with great service

Excellent food and service. Very friendly and clearly striving for customer satisfaction.

Love love love Brendalli! It's one of my favorite small business owned Italian spots in Baltimore! Next to limoncello and Di Pasquale's of course. The service is phenomenal and the food is made with so much love. I met the chef and he was so kind to me and my partner. I would recommend background music or something to make the ambiance a little better but it's a small place and they were so busy with carry out orders. I don't want to hold it against them. Overall, I highly recommend this location!

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.

Just visited this restaurant it was amazing! We had the shrimp fra Diablo, chicken Marsala , sausage and peppers cacciatore and the gnocchi with the sausage. My son had the meatballs and pasta. All the dishes were delicious and the byob is a great touch! The staff were attentive to all our needs and great with kids.

How can I ever thank you enough?! You made my son's birthday very special with the delicious entrees, salad and dessert. All arrived on time! He devoted the grilled salmon in vodka sauce and thought the Shrimp Diablo was outstanding. Your food exceeded expectations and was so reasonably priced. Will definitely be making your restaurant my first choice! Thank you again!!!

Very quiet and small low key place, but the food was great. My family and I are visiting Baltimore and we just stumbled upon this place because it's close to our resort and we are lucky we did. The service was fast we got our food within 10-15 minutes of ordering and after we sat down we got complimentary bread and butter that was fresh and warm. Each meal was delicious in its own way. Both the seafood plates (Orioles Seafood) and (Fettuccine Bianco) were made with fresh seafood and were enhanced by the seafood addition instead of overpowering it with a fishy taste. I ordered the Fettuccine Bianco, the sauce was incredible with the scallops and cooked to perfection. I wish this place could get more recognition because they deserve it! With such great size portions I didn't even have room for dessert, wish I could have tried the Cannolis!

My best friend and I stopped at Brendali for a quick bite to eat before a show. I'm so happy we came here, our dish was incredible. My review is based off of their linguine with crab sauce. When we arrived, it was empty except for the folks stopping by to grab takeout. My friend told me the restaurant stays pretty empty until later in the evening when it's packed.The service was fine. Don't let the metal chairs and plastic table clothes fool you, from what I've been told the food is good here. We adored our pasta. I'm not a red sauce girl and this pasta made me a red sauce girl. The lumps of crab meat were divine and the little tomato bits were bites of heaven. Be sure to order this dish. I'd highly recommend eating at Brendali Italian Ristorante.

Food was delicious, service exceptional. Our waiter, Ever, was an absolute delight! Highly recommend!

Great food and great atmosphere. What Italian food should taste like. Highly recommended.

My first time coming here was great. The food was amazing and service was perfect. the servers were very attentive and friendly.

I was not very impressed with the Brendali's. I had ordered a side of fettuccine pasta, along with a cheese pizza, their Thai spicy calamari, and the tiramisu cake as a to-go order. As an Italian restaurant, I feel like the pasta should be above and beyond, however the side of fettuccine pasta that I got was bland and tasteless. It tasted like canned tomato sauce mixed in with the pasta. I had even asked for red pepper flakes at the side and they did not even provide me with that. The cheese pizza was incredibly greasy and the cheese did not taste very good. The Thai spicy calamari was not spicy, but had a good flavor however the calamari was a little chewy. The tiramisu cake was probably the best thing that I ordered, however it was a lot more cream than cake. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with the quality of the food from Brendali's especially after reading all the good reviews that it received on Yelp.

Great restaurant in the heart of Federal Hill. We had the Chicken Marsala and the Chicken Parm. Both were good sized portions and delicious. Service was friendly and quick.

Great service and excellent food! We ordered the pizza and it came out hot and extra cheesy!

Good Alfredo, chicken was good as was the cheese steak and fries. It was all served quickly and with complimentary salads. We ate in, but they do a lot of carry out also.

Not to be a "city-ist" but simply to call myself out for 15 years living in NYC making me have to fight the daily food snob struggle, I can't help but notch down my expectations when I'm traveling to most cities. Shame on me when it came to Brendali! They are serving up some quality goodness! Ordered the Pizza Supreme, Fettucine Bianco and sides of spinach and broccolli. FWIW, the only picture of the Pizza Supreme on Yelp is one the owner posted. So it was even more impressive when the pizza showed up picture perfect! Good flavor. Great balance of toppings. It tasted somewhere between Pizza Hut and brick oven pizza, and that's not a slam. I definitely enjoyed it. The Fettucine Bianco was great. Healthy amount of proteins which you could tell were perfectly cooked when when went into the container and didn't suffer too much in transit. Same with the sauce which mostly held up, and was delicious. I would've liked it a little thicker, but thinner worked well when it came to soppin' up the sauce with the tender dinner rolls they threw in! Plus the Old Bay seasoning was truly a hint, not overpowering in the least. The spinach...maybe it would have been better if they thoroughly drained the liquid. There was a lot of it. The overall flavor was strongly bitter. There could have been more garlic + S&P to help balance flavor. The broccoli, however, was great. Al dente, good bit of garlic, delicious. And it arrived piping hot in nearly half the time the delivery app projected! I'd definitely recommend.

Brendali is a humble hole in the wall spot for Italian food. Seems like they focus more on carry out and delivery services since the place was empty when we came for dinner on a week night. We both liked the pastas we got. Tasted delicious and well executed no complaints. They even brought out some free bread and butter at the start for us to enjoy!

Great food for good prices right in the heart of Fed. BYOB is a plus and so hard to come by nowadays. The atmosphere is plain but classic. Servers are always friendly and accommodating. Would recommend, especially for a large group!

This place doesn't miss. The Chicken Francese is one of my favorite dishes in Baltimore and always consistent. Fettuccine Alfredo with blackened chicken subbed in is a close second. Pizza is great. BBQ chicken my favorite but the fra diavolo great too. Garlic shrimp appetizer amazing. Like 10 shrimps in that b***h. They pack their takeout with plastic wrap around containers. Just going that extra mile is always appreciated. And on top of everything it's cheap for what it is and great portions. 11/10 value. I've never dined in lol but want to BMOB and take a date. Go here.

I think I found my go to Italian spot. Had the Fettuccine Bianco, Crab Ravioli, and classic pizza with a side salad. All delish. The pizza was a bit salty and I'm more of a restaurant sauce girl. The pizza sauce was hard to taste with the salt overpowering some. Still got ate!

We had the Crab and Shrimp Anna, which was wonderful--plenty of everything in a delicious sauce, especially the crab. We asked for extra bread to sop up the sauce! Tiramisu was plenty to share, and in perfect ratios between the components. Very highly recommend both! The rustachella was nice, but unlike the tiramisu and pasta, I wouldn't feel compelled to order it again. The only negative was service--only one person to do the job of serving, hosting, and bussing, so everything was slow. Not a good choice if you're in a hurry. It was very quiet on a Tuesday night (though our neighbors did their best to keep the volume commensurate with a busy restaurant!).

Fav date night spot! BYOB with no cork/glass charge - WIN! All the meals are reasonably priced and DELISH! My husband ordered the Chicken Francese (one of his fav dishes) which comes with a side of penne pasta and red sauce. Such a fresh, flavorful dish! I went with the Tortellini Tre Salsa, which was also fantastic. Who wouldn't want tortellini with marinara, alfredo and pesto combo? The sauce is perfectly rich and you will literally want to lick it off of your plate. Service was fast and friendly. Bread was great. Ambiance is perfect for a cheap, fun date night! Cannot wait to go back!

The crab ravioli was really delicious. Big chunks of crab meat in the sauce. Exceeded my expectations.

We had not dined in at Brendali's since the new owners took over and the pandemic ended. We were excited to see that they have made some renovations - new paint, comfy chairs and new tables. We had a 6:30 pm reservation for 8 people. They set the table right by the door and window. There was no one in the restaurant when we arrived. A little later, a party of 8 and party of 3 came in. They have always done a robust and brisk carry out business, and this was obvious the entire time we were there. Denise was our server. She really had her hands full and she did a great job keeping all of our dinner orders straight and giving each couple their own check. We tried the following dinners: Fettuccine Bianco, Spaghetti Carbonata, 2 Chicken Diego, Lasagna, Shrimp Scampi and 2 Chicken Marsala. Everyone liked their dinners, except for the Lasagna which had no taste. We were happy to see that the restaurant is still a BYOB with no corkage fee - always a plus for our group.

It's been here a few years now, and better than ever! I still would put it up against anything in Little Italy. I've tried so many dishes at this point and they have all been stellar! I'll post a couple pics here from recent meals, one is take-out and one is eat-in. Also, don't miss the Bolognese - it might be the best I've ever had, and I've had a lot because it's one of my go-to's in any Italian place. Another favorite is the linguini with crab sauce - they somehow manage to make a tomato sauce that tastes great without bowling over the crab - just a perfect balance.

So here's the thing. If you want excellent, and I mean, excellent Italian food in federal Hill go to them and check it out. I promise you, it's absolutely delicious food and the portions are great.

There are few things more beautiful than a creamy vodka sauce and Brendali delivers on all fronts! This is a classic hole-in-the-wall Italian restaurant in the heart of Fed Hill with extremely reasonable prices and generous portions to say the least. I've been able to dine in before COVID as well as grab takeout, and was impressed by both experiences in quality of food and friendliness of the staff. Everything came packed extremely well plus a complimentary little bread roll. Eats: (4.5/5) Black and Blue rigatoni w/blackened chicken: If you're a fan of the tang of bleu cheese, this is definitely the dish for you. (4.5/5) Penne vodka w/blackened chicken: My go-to and was perfectly creamy with a good amount of chunky and tender chicken. (4.2/5) Crab ravioli: Lots of crab and extremely satisfying. tl;dr This is your staple italian place if you're looking for the best bang for your buck!

My mom came into town to visit and was craving her favorite: Italian food! We ordered food from Brendali through Yelp. I've only ordered through Yelp once before so I was a little hesitant, but the service was stellar. The driver got a little lost and ended up dropping off the food in my lobby. I received a text from the driver and a staff member from Brendali called me and my apartment complex to ensure that the food reached me. I was impressed with how above-and-beyond they went! The order was intact, packaged well, and arrived early. My mom and I ordered some bruschetta to share, which was incredibly fresh and had a perfect amount of basil. We ordered the Vegetable Primavera and White Veggie Pizza to share. The portions were large and both items were fresh and delicious! I look forward to ordering again from Brendali.

Great Italian food outside of Little Italy! The place is relatively small and a very lowkey place, but the pasta was great. Decent sized portions, and you get bread with butter for the table. The vodka sauce was good, and the wait staff was very nice!

Fettuccine Bianco was great!!...only thing was the sauce was yellow I'm use to white Alfredo sauce but, it still was good. They don't put enough seafood in the dish for the price. Garlic bread comes with most Italian dishes but they give you a roll!
