The food is very tasty and the price is good. Although I think the place smells a little musty, my wife disagrees and loves to go. We have been more than once and surely will go again. More

My wife and I really enjoy this place to eat. A lot of food but oh it was so good. It reminds me of my own Nana cooks a delicious italian meal. We'll be back for sure!!! More

I've been there twice, and will not return. Being Italian, I have to say that I'm not impressed--certainly not like mamma made it. Despite being from the greater Niagara area, the Talley influence from the "Como Restaurant" does not show it. Last time there, I asked for three entree's that they did not have. I finally asked them what did... More

The food was great and the service friendly. As everyone said the portions are huge. Would definitely come again. The food was worth the wait, but it took a long time to prepare it. More

I've read some reviews here on Briandi's. Seems there are complaints about the "attitude" and atmosphere. The attitude is authentic - busy, salt of the earth wait staff who honestly care about your dining experience, but aren't there to be your best friend. The atmosphere is also authentic - a hole in the wall. It's small. Some call that intimate... More

Well,I had heard and read so many good things about this restaurant that I was happy to try it. What a surprise,or shock I should say. The reason so many people comment about leaving with huge doggie bags is probably because they couldn't stomach the food. Harsh,yes,but true. I was with four friends. Two ordered the lasagna,one the veal,one the... More
