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. From our fresh pasta, to our line-caught fish, to our thirty-five day dry-aged steaks, the difference is discernible

    What a wonderful pop up Cinco De Mayo dinner we had! Shrimp, beef and crawfish fabulous and fresh tacos, only $5, each, with just the right amount of toppings - they melted in your mouth! We ordered more, they were so good! Their chopped salad with pomegranate seeds topped with a light shallot dressing was an excellent match with that tacos! Margaritas and martinis were flowing at the bar for only $7.00 each, really good fresh flavors too! Thanks for a great experience once again! 🪇💚♥️

    We had the best experience today at Drifthouse! Our server Jamie was truly a breath of fresh air, so knowledgeable, personable, and full of great menu suggestions. The food was absolutely delicious even Nathan gave it a 10/10! Every staff member we interacted with was kind, welcoming, and positive. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Sea Bright!
