Im very picky, annoying and judgemental. :) So when I say I like a place, I really mean it. We just got home from dinner at Bramalo, our first visit. Its not often that Ill say - EVERY thing was great. The cocktails were solid, really great actually. Even the house wines we ordered were great. I finished off with the special which was a perfectly made espresso martini that was recommended by the super friendly bartender. Really an excellent drink, pretty much a dessert.We ordered the clams... Top notch, comes in a great sauce, I dont even know what it was but its not the basic typical lemon garlic. Calamari was done perfectly. Troffolini (I probably spelled that wrong) was an undoubtedly handmade pasta stuffed with ...I dont remember... But it was great. Very unique dish. Last Ill tell you about, and best for last.... The short rib Mac and cheese. Ok, so I have full conversations with people about mac and cheese... And this is one to add to my conversation. Honestly one of the best dishes Ive had in awhile. Well order that every time we visit, and well visit just to order that.Our first time there, and well definitely be back - adding Bramalo to the short list.
I feel like a fool for giving this place so many chances. From a food perspective its very good. If you dine in the restaurant, you should be good. But if you order out your order WILL get screwed up. Ive ordered salads where they got the wrong toppings, issues where they forgot dressings for the salads, issues where they forgot to make the food. I dont know if they dont care because they do good business, but stay away. There are plenty of pizza places in the area.
Have been going there for years when it was Ginos. Best pizza in town.Ordered a pie tonight, i/2 sausage-pepper, other half plain.I know exactly what they did to prepare it. The took an already made cheese pie and threw on the sausage and peppers. Then put it back in the oven. The result was a crust that would make Dominos look like a five star restaurant.I couldnt tell the difference from the crust and the box it came in.Threw the pie in the garbage.. What a disappointment!.
This is one restaurant you pray survives this pandemic! Totally unassuming on the outside (former Gino’s Pizza). Once inside you are exposed to a completely renovated modern dining room. The food was excellent. Best personal pizza which they did as a Sicilian pie. Amazing Veal Parmesan. I recommend the fresh Bramalo salad with homemade dressing. The service was impeccable. Very attentive staff who BTW were all vaccinated. Food came out timely and as ordered. Great menu from pizza, apps, hot subs, salads, pastas, and main courses, + deserts. Even their large local beer and bar menu was impressive. A must visit and highly recommended!!!
Great place, excellent food, friendly staff. I love a place that starts off your meal with a bowl of bread and pizza sticks! We had the spicy calamari and the meatballs with a side of ricotta for apps… both delish but the calamari came cooked in the sauce- SO GOOD! We even soaked up the leftover sauce with bread.Our main dishes were plentiful and yum- we had, chicken parm with spaghetti (both with vodka sauce), fettuccine Lorenzo and zucchini noodle pomodoro with mozzarella and basil.I must add how the staff is very accommodating- not many places will also sub vodka sauce in chicken parm (most will only sub it in the pasta) Also, the zucchini noodles were a special from a different day but they were able to make it (but zucchini noodles are always on the menu too - which is a bonus since I know of only one other restaurant in the area that offers this.)We will definitely be back here regularly!
As always, an awesome pizzeria that I have been frequenting for several years since they were Ginos, and now beautifully renovated to Bramalo. They have a menu that has lots of tasty options to fit anyones palate. My experience with their staff, has always been friendly, accommodating and personable.
Great food. Well prepared, decent amount of choices on their menu. Great spicy wings. Id recommend though that if you order a pizza with extra cheese that you pick it up, as delivered ones tend to have the cheese and toppings slop to one side.Just to add to my original review, they have just undergone a major renovation and are now doing business as Bramalo, Pizzeria-Restaurant. All is the same except the name!
Went here with a friend and his family for the first time a few weeks ago. The food was awesome. The service was great and they treated the kids great. They sat us at a table right away and took drink orders and brought them out quickly. Once orders were taken they brought plenty of bread and plates to eat or appetizers. Pizza was nice and hot and tasted great.
Placed an order for delivery as I have numerous times in the past, and was now informed they charge a $4.00 delivery fee, when I ordered directly from them, not on any food app. Guess they need to pay for the renovations. Another pick pocket fee we all have become accustomed to in NY. Not a smart move on their part. Their are other pizzerias in the area with the same quality of food, cheaper prices and don’t charge a delivery fee.
Had 2 parties in party room. Pizza very good. Downgraded to 3 stars. Party room needs serious make over. Wait staff is just ok.Now 2 stars. They do not include sauce with their expensive chicken rolls etc. They charge extra for it. Come on now. On principal Not going back.
Ordered Branzino, risotto, escarole and beans, along with ravioli primavera. Food was delivered on time, hot and perfectly packaged. I cook myself and have eaten all over the region and throughout Italy 5 times. This food was spectacular in every possible way, not too mention that the value would be impossible to duplicate. Bravo! I hope to experience this again and again.
Wow Ginos. I just ordered a small Cesar salad with grilled chicken. I received lettuce with grilled chicken in a small plastic bowl and it cost me $13.00. Where are my croutons? Where is the Parmesan cheese? Chicken is cold ... I expected it to be at least warm. I didn’t ask for dressing on the side but it came with a little cup on the side. I prefer it already on my salad. For the price I would expect a perfect Cesar salad and this don’t even come close.
Ginos is great if you are looking for table service or specialty slices. A cozy, warm atmosphere makes it a great option for a family to enjoy a great Italian dinner. Specialty slices are also very good, especially the Big Gino, which is almost like Mcdonalds Big Mac on pizza dough rather than a bun. However, Im not crazy about their regular slices.
Not only is the food outstanding but the service is above and beyond. I called in a pick up order for 7 tonight and then my car got stuck in the snow so I called them and told them to hold it for me and I’d be there ASAP. Unfortunately by the time I got there over an hour and a half later the pizza had dried out from sitting around. The manager offered me a brand new pie and that it would be ready in 10 minutes. They also have me a dozen garlic knots for free! Wasn’t even their fault that the pizza dried out!! They even showed me the pie before giving it to me to make sure I was happy with it. Definitely will be back again and again!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Tonight I ordered a pasta dinner, sautéed broccoli with garlic wine sauce added grilled chicken. My meal was ready less than 10 min. Got home started eating everything was fine till i was 3/4 of almost being done. In my food their was a black gun wrapper which to me looked like a burn piece of spinach. Until i touched it with my hands finding out its a gum wrapper that still smells like minty gum. And i was going to put that in my mouth i felt so sick to my stomach. Got my refund the cashier apologized which it wasn’t his fault. The cooks stood their as i got my refund not saying a word. Ginos just lost a customer today. I have been going to them for 6 years now.
There are many Ginos around, but this one is hands down the best one Ive been to. Always has friendly staff, quick service, and some of my favorite dishes to boot for a reasonable price and traditionally Italian large portions. Parking can be a bit nuts, but it is definitely worth it. I highly recommend the Pene Pollo Caprese, havent seen it anywhere else and its absolutely delicious.
Dont bother ordering on line, only one menu out of 3 have right prices, food is good but rip off on prices, on line different then you pay. i have been customer for years never got charged for a piece of bread before. make sure if you order you expect too pay more then price listed when you pick it up
BRAMALO SAVED MY GRADUATION PARTY!Yes, you read that right. Bramalo saved my graduation party! My mother ordered food for my party today and when I went to go pick it up, the tortellini alfredo tipped over in the trunk of my car and spilled all over. After I embarrassingly ran back to the restaurant bawling my eyes out like a baby, the staff and manager/owner (my apologies for messing up your title!) sprung into action, immediately started making a new order, put the saved remaining food in the back seat of my car and even cleaned my trunk! 10minutes after i left, they delivered the food to my house with no extra charge! If it wasn’t for the staff, I would have been a mess. THANK YOU BRAMALO!
I called in an order for pick up and was told it would take ten minutes, I waited 20 and went over figuring it was busy because it was a Friday night. I walked in and paid for my order and told it wasnt ready yet, which was annoying but I wasnt in a rush so I waited.. It took them another 10 minutes to make my food (figuring they didnt even begin making it yet) then on top of everything the girl who answered the phone told me my order would come out to 7.05 and when I walked in and paid the price was 10.05, Ive had this experience multiple times dealing with Ginos pizza and I am now ready to pull the plug on buying food from them.

2022-05-29Best pizza everything they have there is so amazing. Taste so good highly recommend Bramalo . Everyone there is so polite when I put a order in always so nice to me. When I pick up my food very polite when I have it delivered very nice to me. The chicken roll omg so soft and so good the taste is out of this world the pizza so cheesy and the sauce wow so good. The eggplant so good and a good size portion with pasta on the side. The calzone so much cheese taste so good. Everything i got from Bramalo is excellent. I like to try new things on there menu and the good part is you dont have to be afraid that you wont like it. Because everything on there menu is unbelievable and so tasteful. Go there you will love it. And also dine in you will love it.

2021-05-19Came here for the food after seeing the Instagram and wasn’t disappointed. The linguine and clams was probably the best I’ve had outside of home made. I take 1 star due to the slow service. I don’t blame the server as I think they were a little short staffed.

2022-07-11There are many places for pizza in Bellmore. Many are decent BUT just got delivery for first time from Bramalo; one plant based pizza “franzato” with vegan sausage and one regular pie along with salad….awesome!!!! Coming from a restaurant owner in the area, must try here. Very good. Best wishes to all.

2020-01-26Well, I have to say was pretty disappointed in my food tonight. The Bill $49.00 did not match the meal for sure along with all the additional charges. Example: $0.50 for dressing when my salad comes with a meal, $2.00 to make the delivery along with Balsamic glaze $0.50. Not once were we told of additional charges let alone portion were like kids meals. May be time to find a new place to eat.
