Brado

Don’t order the pasta. I have had several pizzas from Brado. All are delicious. I decided to branch out and try the pasta. Big mistake. Big, food poisoning mistake. We ordered the pappardelle with mushrooms and chicken and shrimp linguine. The pappardelle wasn’t great by any means. The chicken was virtually tasteless. It was drowning in sauce. Also, something about the chicken made me feel like it was leftover from another dish. The shrimp linguine was terrible. There was almost no sauce. The noodles were broken in short, stumpy pieces. They were overlooked and stuck together. The shrimp was undercooked and had no seasoning. It was bad. It looked like they made a huge pot at 9am and now, twelve hours later we were getting the bottom of the barrel. It did not look or taste fresh. We also ordered the garlic bread. It tasted stale and reheated. All in all, I spent $ 40 for terrible food and then, got very sick. Like I said, the food did not look or taste fresh. I would suggest just sticking with the pizza.

Management made the great move of bringing back key staff, who along with the rest of the team, make it a great place. Mary, Clarence, Peter Z, Dmitri, are all wonderful. Pizza is top notch, but the new sandwiches, all farm to table, are killer. Organic burger, pulled chicken and pork, and the fried chicken are winners. Kudos to the whole Brado team!

Brado has burgers! We have been regulars at the previous Ale House and now Brado. We were thrilled that the new management maintained many of the excellent staff; Mary, Clarence, Peter, and Dimetri. Although we have enjoyed the thin crust pizza and the excellent happy hour, we missed the burgers. Last night I had my first Brado burger and it was great. It is served on a house baked brioche with cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Fries are included in the $ 15.00 platter and a side of spicy mayo is amazing,; great for dipping the fries and for dressing the burger. My husband had the Fried Chicken sandwich and was equally satisfied. The battery fried breast was crispy but the breast was very juicy. Brado has added six new sandwiches which are available at all times at the bar and table service. They are burgers, pulled pork, pulled chicken, fried chicken, chicken Parmesan and meatball.

Great pizza and beer, and the staff is excellent. The happy hour deal is very good (2 for 1 starting at 3:30). And they recently added burgers/​fries and other sandwiches. The burger and fries were very good, looking forward to trying the other items.

Pros. Very nice that the owners hire some of the old staff, the good ones. The food is great and that is why we come at least three time a week.
Cons. Some of the staff have cheap attitude that makes you stay away even if the food is delish.
After several bad experiences with the same server, I decided to write this review, (I had to ask her name) — Megan –since she toss the plate to my young son, spilling the sauce and not even apologizing. Always, she keeps the busboys and the hostess taking care of her tables while she flirts with the costumes, and god forbid if you dare to interrupt her hanging out.
Overall, is a wonderful and cozy neighborhood place to eat, and we’ll continue coming as long as they have welcoming, ethical staff.

I made the mistake of ordering from the
menu where I thought I was getting pasta, salad and garlic bread for $ 12 as stated. When I went to pick it up, I was told that it was $ 15 for the pasta and garlic bread which is the dinner portion. They said I must have seen the lunch menu, but I only saw one menu on seamless. The menu associated with this Unilocal page seems to be more accurate.

Brado is a great neighborhood spot. The space awesome, it never feels over crowded and had the perfect South Brooklyn vibe. Their wine and beer selection does not disappoint. Also the staff here is second to none. I haven’t tried the food but I’m looking forward to it! A very welcome addition to Atlantic Ave

Went here for the first time a few weeks ago for lunch. It was pretty quiet when my boyfriend and I arrived. We got a 16″ pie of half Meat Lovers and half Tres Fuegos. I kept telling my boyfriend how amazing the pizza tasted while we were eating — love me that crispy thin pizza. The Tres Fuegos was the perfect amount of spicy for me and a little too spicy for my boyfriend. We also had Downeast Cider, which is now one of my favorite ciders and one that I’ll be looking out for. I love the brick wall, the rustic light fixtures, and the overall look of the bar area. Service was good — our waiter was nice and even the bartender made sure we were accommodated even though we weren’t seated at the bar. I’m definitely looking forward to coming back here again.

From décor to staff this place is a gem. Great food through tout the whole menu. Staff makes you feel at home. Love this place

I never bookmarked this place but never had to as what they offer is memorable. Pizza is typically the best answer. And after much nachos and popcorn at the movies when we were still hungry, thin crust pizza seemed like an excellent choice.
Service and wine are outstanding. We were greeted and seated right away. Our waitress was quick to give me samples of wine, a full cup practically, and offer suggestions as to her favorites as well. Their wine list focuses on those of Italian origin and I got to sample (and fall in love with) two new favorites. I like my wines dry, earthy, and zesty. These wines are carefully selected and do not disappoint.
We ordered the classica and the pesce. The classica is your typical mozzarella, tomatos, and basil. When it came, I have to say I was a little let down. The crust is thinner than I’m used to. And the tomatoes are diced, not the slices of whole ones I was expecting as well. And instead of actual fresh basil leaves, they were shredded. It all come together in an underwhelming way.
I’m glad we had the pesce pizza as well. By the time I sampled my boyfriend’s, I had grown accustomed to this unusually thin crust. It breaks clean and snaps when you bit into it. And when this thin pizza is topped with cheese, substantial chunks of salmon, capers, and arugula, it becomes quite the satisfying meal all on its own. Their pesce pizza is delicious. We gobbled it up and got another one to go.
I’d love to go back and sample other pizzas on the menu. And with such welcoming service and great wines, I’ll be back soon.

My boyfriend and I stopped in for dinner and had a great experience at Brado. I ordered a glass of cotes du rhone and rigatoni with mushrooms as my entrée, and my boyfriend ordered their chicken & mushroom carbonara dish. Both of us really enjoyed our meals; I found the portions to be well sized, considering it was too much food for me but enough for my boyfriend. For dessert, we took a chance on their bread pudding (it’s always a chance!), and it was really delicious — order it a la mode!

Yes the personal pizzas are wee tiny things (9~10 inches?) Yes the crust is wafer thin, reminiscent of matzoh. Yes 80 bucks is somewhat pricey for 3 personal pizzas, 1 crostini, 2 glasses of wine and 1 beer. I won’t even fault you for thinking «hmmm, Domino’s Thin Crust…» But dang, this is good stuff! The Tres Fuegos is spicy, but luscious, owing to the avocado slices. Add a little more Tres Fuegos hot sauce and get ready for a party in your mouth. The Chickpotle consists of delicious pulled chicken, pineapple and other ingredients that deliver a smoky punch. If you are feeling adventurous, create your own pie from scratch. Our waitress was cheerful, and the runner who brought our dishes was downright adorable. I left happy, but not too full. While I didn’t mind, I can imagine others might find the small personal pies disappointing.

Been here a few times with my family, including little kids. Food is wonderful, excellent vibe/​décor, and excellent waitstaff. Both times my wife and I had salads with grilled chicken, which were great. The kids love the pizza and pastas. Not exactly what I’d call a family place, since there’s no kids menu and kids aren’t hanging off the rafters, but maybe that’s a good thing provided your kids aren’t maniacs, which mine may or may not be on any given day :)

I have never been a fan of thin pizza until I tried it here. It was the most amazing pizza I have ever had in my life. My boyfriend and I started with appetizers. We ordered the bruschetta and rotella and they were both good. The food was fresh and I couldn’t leave any piece behind. We ordered half meat lover and the other half pulled pork, both were great but the pulled pork was to die for!!! Deft try it. Our waiter was so friendly she recommended us in trying the LA ice tea and it was strong and good. We ended the night with dessert which was bread pudding with a cognac cream sauce… reminded me so much of my family’s take on the dessert. I will deft be back.

This is just not pizza. It’s like super thin cracker bread with raw tomato sauce and fake mozzarella. The restaurant is on the impersonal neutral side… Positive note is that the Staff seems very kind.

First off, the best move the owners made was hiring some of the old staff. Mary is what kept me coming back to Pete’s and will now keep me coming back to Brado.
Secondly, the food and beer list are amazing. I was very happy to see that they will be bringing back rotating kegs of craft beer. It’s very fairly priced, too (most are $ 7 a pint). They also have great lunch specials that come with a $ 5 beer or wine option. I ordered the personal pie and small house salad lunch special. The salad was very fresh and had great additions, like marinated mushrooms and kalamata olives. I got a personal meatball pie which was outstanding. The crust is super thin and crunchy and the sauce has tons of flavor.
Needless to say, I was more than satisfied and can’t wait to come back and try more of the (expansive) menu.

As much as I miss Waterfront, Brado could very well replace it as my go to place. Much of the staff from Waterfront has been retained, and it’s great to see the many familiar and friendly faces I’ve grown accustomed to over the years (especially Mary!)
The pizza here is top notch, I can’t say enough good things about it. The margherita pizza is delicious, so much so that I went back there two days in a row just to have it. I especially like the fact that almost everything used for the menu is locally sourced, and you can most certainly taste the freshness that comes with that in the food. The beer selection is excellent, as I expected, and they’ve got a great selection of bourbons as well. You really can’t go wrong with this place!

Great place with delicious food and a variety of beer. Only wish I could watch a Sunday football game there!

So good! I love this family of restaurants and Brado is definitely up to par. The great staff here will make you feel right at home. Come for the happy hour — you will not be sorry! I mean, a free pizza with a bottle of wine or a pitcher of beer? Duh!

Had a delicious dinner here!!! My wife and I started out with the Crustini appetizer then did a large pizza of arugula white cheese and truffle oil and tres fuegos. The Crustini is my favorite. The spice from the tres fuegos hot sauce was the perfect challenge of spice. We also had nice bottle of wine and relaxed. Can’t wait to go back.
