Brando's Citi Cucina

Our waitress Natalie was incredibly nice and friendly she knew the whole menu by heart and helped guide us to a perfect dinner

Haven't been here for four years since moving out of NJ/AP and what can I say?! The place is still just top notch everything!!! Shout out to Vlad - fantastic exceptional service from start to finish - this kid is a gem! Got some of the menu OGs - meatballs, calamari, bolo, and the pasta forno which I have yearned for over the last four years (pro tip unravel the foil and let it sit and steam X10 min before you dig in - flavors meld and pop better when it cools a bit). Brando's is hands down the best establishment in AP and it hasn't changed a bit - still with consistent product, service, and atmosphere which is hard to come by these days. Love and miss you, Brando's!!! Happy to see you are still delivering an outstanding experience.

The food was absolutely fantastic for myself and the other 4 guests in our party. The service from Vlad was top notch. He was a prime example of a top tier server at a restaurant and I recommend anyone coming here to request Vlad. My only problems I had were the French 75 was too heavy on the lemon juice and outdoor location could be better. The food and service though were top tier Italian cuisine.

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in New Jersey by far!! The food quality seems to get better every time I visit. The meatball insalata appetizer is my favorite starter, super tender and very unique. Pasta is always cooked perfectly and portions are generous. The servers are all so enthusiastic and nice. Highly recommend if you are visiting the area!
